handle is hein.gao/gaobablib0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washlngon. D.C. 20548 B-254086 May 2, 1994 The Honorable Robert L. Livingston House of Representatives Dear Mr. Livingston: This responds to your letter of July 6, 1993, asking us to determine whether the Department of Defense's (DOD) submission of its Data Center Consolidation (DDCC) plan to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission violated the funding and reporting requirements of section 9047 of the DOD Appropriations Act for fiscal year (FY) 1993. The conference committee for DOD's FY 1994 appropriations has also directed the Comptroller General to provide such an analysis. Specifically, you question whether DOD's submission of the plan to the BRAC Commission and related actions constituted an implementation of a consolidation plan, which section 9047 prohibited until 60 days after a report was submitted to the appropriations committees.' As explained below, we do not believe that the submission of the DDCC plan, or the related actions, violated section 9047, because they did not constitute the implementation of a consolidation plan. Background Section 9047 was enacted in October 1992 as part of the DOD FY 1993 Appropriations Act, Pub. L. No. 102-396.2 The section prohibited DOD from obligating or expending funds either to implement any consolidation plans for specified automatic data processing and information technology facility activities, or to make any reductions in force or transfers in personnel at certain facilities, until 60 days 'We discuss whether the DDCC plan fully addresses the areas and criteria called for in section 9047 in our comments to DOD on the plan, as provided for in section 9047. 2As a part of an appropriations act, section 9047 expired at the end of FY 1993, September 30, 1993. Section 8035 of the DOD FY 1994 Appropriations Act, Pub. L. No. 103-139, November 11, 1993, includes similar funding restrictions on DOD's consolidation effort. 0 I 5t / / / 5--)(19
