SEC. 1050. REPORT ON NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF
DOMESTIC SUPPLY AND USE OF CRITICAL CHEMICALS.
(a) In General.—Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives a report assessing the national
security implications of the domestic supply and use of
critical chemicals that support petroleum refining and
related industrial processes.
(b) Elements.—The report required by subsection (a) shall
include, at a minimum, the following:
(1) An assessment of the domestic production capacity and
supply chain for critical chemicals used in petroleum
refining and related manufacturing processes, and
identification of any significant irreplaceability and
dependencies on foreign sources or single-supplier
vulnerabilities.
(2) An evaluation of the role such chemicals play in
supporting the defense industrial base, including their
contribution to the production of fuels, materials, and other
inputs necessary for military operations and defense
manufacturing.
(3) An analysis of the extent to which domestic refining
capacity supporting military fuel requirements relies on
processes utilizing such chemicals, and the potential
operational or logistical impacts to the Department of
Defense if the availability or use of such chemicals were
significantly constrained.
(4) An assessment of risks to the infrastructure and supply
chains associated with the production, storage, and
transportation of such chemicals, including physical
security, cyber threats, and other potential disruption
scenarios.
(5) Recommendations for actions the Department of Defense
and other relevant Federal agencies could take to mitigate
risks to the supply of such chemicals, including
consideration of strategic stockpiling, diversification of
supply sources, or other measures to strengthen the
resilience of the defense industrial base.
(c) Form.—
(1) In general.—The report required by subsection (a)
shall be submitted in unclassified form but shall include a
classified annex.
(2) Matters for unclassified portion.—The unclassified
portion of the report required by subsection (a) shall focus
on high-level strategic risks and policy recommendations,
ensuring that no information is released that could
jeopardize the operational security of the domestic
industrial base, including specific refining companies.
(3) Matters for classified annex.—Any site-specific
vulnerability assessments, granular production capacities of
individual refineries, or detailed transportation route
mappings for hazardous chemicals shall be included only in
the classified annex required by paragraph (1).
