What this bill does
H.R. 10047, the "Depot Data Transparency Act," would amend an existing federal reporting requirement (10 U.S.C. § 2466(d)(1)) governing the military's annual report on depot-level maintenance and repair work. Currently, that report shows, for each military department and Defense Agency, the percentage of maintenance funds spent on public versus private-sector facilities. The bill adds a new requirement: the report must also break out the actual dollar amount of those expended and projected funds by individual depot facility, rather than reporting only aggregate percentages.
The change primarily affects how the Department of Defense compiles and discloses its depot maintenance spending data. It would give Congress, oversight bodies, and the public more granular, facility-level financial information about where maintenance work is performed and funded, rather than department-wide percentage figures alone. It does not change funding levels, maintenance policy, or which facilities perform work — only the level of detail required in the existing report.
The bill was introduced in the House on August 6, 2026, by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX), with Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) as a cosponsor, and was referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. As with most introduced bills, it would need to be considered and approved by that committee, then pass the House and Senate and be signed by the President, before becoming law. No further action has occurred beyond the initial referral.
