Bill > S933

This bill amends the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 to modify requirements relating to data centers of certain federal agencies. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Establishing minimum requirements for new data centers, such as availability, use of sustainable energy sources, uptime percentage, protections against power failures and physical intrusions, and information security protections. 2. Requiring covered agencies to incorporate the minimum requirements into the operations of existing data centers. 3. Extending the sunset provision of the Federal Data Center Optimization Initiative from 2022 to 2026. 4. Requiring the Comptroller General of the United States to review, verify, and audit the compliance of covered agencies with the minimum requirements for new and existing data centers. The bill aims to ensure that federal agencies have access to secure, reliable, and sustainable data centers to meet their mission-critical needs and serve the immediate needs of the public.
