(a) In general The Secretary of the Air Force, acting through the Commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command, shall ensure that each Minuteman III launch control center within the three missile wings comprising the 20th Air Force undergoes a deep cleaning of its crew capsules at least once every five years until each such launch control center is decommissioned. (b) Waiver (1) In general The Commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command may waive the requirement under subsection (a) with respect to a particular Minuteman III launch control center due to— (A) unforseen circumstances that make carrying out the deep cleaning required by such subsection impracticable; or (B) national security needs. (2) Congressional notification If the Commander grants a waiver under paragraph (1), the Commander shall notify the congressional defense committees of such wavier. Such notice shall include— (A) the launch control center subject to such waiver; and (B) when such launch control center is expected to be deep cleaned. (c) Annual report Not later than the first October 1 after the date of the enactment of this Act, and on an annual basis thereafter until each Minuteman III launch control center is decommissioned, the Secretary of the Air Force shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing that includes— (1) an identification of each such launch control center— (A) deep cleaned during the fiscal year covered by the briefing; and (B) scheduled for a deep cleaning during the fiscal year beginning after the fiscal year during which the briefing is provided; and (2) any additional matters of concern, as determined by the Secretary, with respect to the condition of such launch control centers.
