HR 7054 United States House · 119th Congress

To require the Secretary of State to submit to Congress a notification of certain construction projects using nonstandard designs.

HR 7054 requires the Secretary of State to notify Congress 15 days before starting any new U.S. embassy or consulate project using a nonstandard design. The notification must include comparisons of total long-term costs, completion timelines, and security levels between the nonstandard design and a standard design, plus justification for choosing nonstandard. This applies to all new embassy or consulate compounds, including those in planning stages. The bill aims to promote standardization in diplomatic building construction by increasing congressional oversight of nonstandard projects.
