Exhibit 1—U.S. Navy SRAs For FY91-92 And PMAs For FY93-95* Fiscal Year 91 134 Fiscal Year 92 142 Fiscal Years 93-95 71 Total— 347 •Phased Maintenance Availabilities for am- phibious and auxiliary ships only. number of availabilities in the new schedule remains unchanged, ex- cept for a substantial increase in amphibious ship availabilities on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts in FYs 91-92, from 18 to 29, and a drop in submarine availabilities on the At- lantic and Gulf Coasts, from 34 to 24.

According to SCA, the number do not include ships competed under Phased Maintenance programs, or which are involved in coastwide or ex- tended solicitation area bidding. SCA's analysis does not take into consideration any possible impact of ship movements connected with Op- eration Desert Shield. The Shipbuilders Council be- lieves that long-range requirements for Navy depot-level maintenance will decrease over the next five years, and is projecting a 450-ship Navy fleet by FY 95. Also impacting on the number of shipyard mandays that will be required for naval ship maintenance is the Navy's transi- tion from steam propulsion to gas turbine and diesel power. The SCA's projections indicate that the Navy market will decline by 25 per- cent by the end of FY 95. Two Maritime Measures Revived In New Congress Two maritime measures that failed to advance in the last Con- gress are among those recently rein- troduced by legislators. Michigan Representative Wil- liam S. Broomfield reintroduced his bill to require the government to dispose of the oldest vessels in the February, 1991 national defense reserve fleet. Last year, the measure stirred controver- sy and drew the opposition of the Maritime Administration, which maintains the mothball fleet. A second holdover maritime bill that would levy fines against subsi- dized foreign vessels that enter U.S. ports was reintroduced by Maryland Representative Helen Delich Bentley. It is designed to encour- age an end to foreign governments' shipbuilding subsidies. Procurement Integrity Certification Now In Effect Suspension of the requirement for procurement integrity certifica- tion has now expired, meaning that government contractors will be re- quired to execute a certification for all contracts or modifications in ex- cess of $100,000 that are awarded or executed on or after December 1, 1990. This certification affirms that no one affiliated with the contractor in any capacity has directly or indi- rectly discussed employment oppor- tunities with a government procure- ment official, except as specifically authorized by law; offered such in- dividuals gifts or gratuities of any type; or solicited proprietary or source selection information regard- ing such procurement from any offi- cer or employee of the governmental agency.
