SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2023 provides the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security
Administration (DOE/NNSA) Administrator with pilot authority to adjust
the minor construction threshold to account for inflation at any point
until December 1, 2025. Under this authority, the Administrator must
submit a report to the congressional defense committees describing the
method used to calculate the adjustment, wait a period of 30 days, and
then publish the adjusted threshold to the Federal Register before it
can take effect.
NNSA submitted the required report to the congressional defense
committees on January 9, 2024. The 30-day waiting period ended on
February 8, 2024. The publication of this notice implements the new
minor construction threshold of $34 million.
