Military Construction: FY2017 Appropriations
Abstract
Military construction for active and reserve components of the armed forces, military family housing construction and operations, the U.S. contribution to the NATO Security Investment Program, military base closures and realignment actions, and the military housing privatization initiative will be funded through Title I and Title IV of the FY2017 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The act is associated with three separate bill numbers: H.R. 4974, S. 2806, and H.R. 2577. For FY2017, the President requested $7.44 billion in new budget authority for regular (base budget) military construction and family housing activities and an additional $172.5 million for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) construction for a total of $7.62 billion in new budget authority. The bills conference committee recommended $7.73 billion in the base budget and $172.0 million in OCO funding for a total of $7.90 billion in new budget authority. With additional funds available through the rescission of prior-year appropriations, Congress could make available up to $8.03 billion in base funding and $172.0 million in OCO appropriations for a total military construction appropriation of $8.21 billion for FY2017.
