SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Community Reinvestment and Recovery 
Act''.

SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF GRANT PROGRAM.

    (a) Establishment.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a 
program to make grants under this Act to assist local communities in 
recovering from the adverse economic impact of the closure or major 
realignment of a military installation under a base closure law.
    (b) Determinations of Grant Eligibility.--Within 180 days after the 
date on which a closure or realignment announcement is made with regard 
to a military installation under a base closure law, the Secretary 
shall determine the unit or units of local government of communities 
adjacent to the installation that are eligible to receive a grant under 
this Act. In the case of military installations already announced for 
closure or realignment, the Secretary shall make the determinations 
required by this subsection within 180 days after the effective date of 
this Act.
    (c) Provision of Assistance.--A grant under this section shall be 
made by the Secretary through existing Federal programs. The Secretary 
may use the grant to supplement funds made available under other 
Federal programs and may provide financial assistance to eligible local 
governments determined under subsection (b) to assist such governments 
to pay their share of the costs under such programs.
    (d) Cooperation.--The heads of all departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government shall cooperate fully with the Secretary in carrying 
out subsection (c). The heads of such departments and agencies shall 
give priority attention to applications from eligible local governments 
determined under subsection (b) for priority funding under assistance 
programs within their annual agency appropriations.

SEC. 3. ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN.

    (a) Plan Required.--To be eligible for a grant under section 2, an 
eligible local government determined under subsection (b) of such 
section shall submit to the Secretary a comprehensive local economic 
recovery plan developed by the local government. Such plan shall 
describe the steps being taken or planned to be taken by the local 
community to recover from the adverse economic impact of the closure or 
major realignment and shall include a detailed description of the 
programs for which the grant will be used.
    (b) Evaluation.--For the plan to be approved and assistance 
provided under section 2(c), the Secretary must find that the proposed 
use of the grant funds will--
            (1) improve opportunities for the establishment or 
        expansion of industrial or commercial activity in the 
        community;
            (2) create new jobs in the community; or
            (3) otherwise alleviate specific economic problems in the 
        community which limit the effective economic recovery from the 
        closure or major realignment.
    (c) Submission of Application.--Eligible local governments may 
submit an application or applications to the Secretary through the 
cooperating departments and agencies under section 2(c) at any time 
after the date on which the Secretary determines under section 2(b) 
that the local government is eligible for assistance.
    (d) Review.--The Secretary shall review and act upon applications 
submitted by an eligible local government within 90 days of the date of 
submission.

SEC. 4. AMOUNT OF FUNDS.

    (a) Amount of Funds Available.--The amount of funds to be made 
available as grants under section 2 with respect to the closure or 
major realignment of a military installation shall be equal to 10 
percent of the total projected savings to be realized by the Department 
of Defense in the first 10 years after the closure or major realignment 
of the installation as a result of the closure or realignment. The 
amount of the projected savings shall be determined by the Secretary as 
soon as possible after the date of the announcement of the closure or 
realignment.
    (b) Funding Requests.--The Secretary shall submit to the Congress 
annually such budgetary requests for funds to make grants under section 
2 as may be necessary. Such requests shall be made separate from the 
normal appropriation requests of the Department of Defense.

SEC. 5. ANNUAL REPORTS.

    (a) Reports From Grant Recipients.--Any unit of local government 
receiving a grant under section 2 for any fiscal year shall, not later 
than 90 days before the end of such fiscal year, submit a report to the 
Secretary concerning the progress of the local community in recovering 
from the effects of the closure or major realignment and the purposes 
for which grant money received under section 2 was used during such 
fiscal year. The report shall include--
            (1) a revision of the comprehensive local economic recovery 
        plan originally submitted under section 3; and
            (2) a statement of all expenditures of grant money received 
        under section 2 during such fiscal year.
    (b) Evaluation of Reports.--If the Secretary finds that a report 
submitted under subsection (a) for any fiscal year discloses that the 
use during such fiscal year of grant money received under section 2 by 
the unit of local government submitting such report was not consistent 
with the purposes of this Act, the Secretary may suspend any remaining 
grant payments and terminate grant application eligibility under this 
Act to such unit of local government until the Secretary receives 
satisfactory assurances that the use of such grant money in the future 
will be consistent with the purposes of this Act.

SEC. 6. REGULATIONS.

    The Secretary shall prescribe general regulations covering the 
eligibility of units of local government for grants under section 2,
