Summary

Defense Production Act Reauthorization of 2009 - Amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 (the Act) to reauthorize through FY2014 specified provisions of the Act. Amends the Act to: (1) require standards and procedures by which contracts and orders priorities allocations are used to promote the national defense under both emergency and nonemergency conditions; (2) remove a limitation on the authority of the President to engage in the production of energy other than synthetic fuel; and (3) repeal the requirement that the President identify critical components and technology items for each item on the Critical Items List. Authorizes the President to: (1) allow a guaranteeing agency to guarantee private loans in support of production capabilities or supplies determined necessary to create, maintain, expedite, expand, protect, or restore production and deliveries or services essential to the national defense; (2) provide for loans to private businesses for activities which reduce current or projected shortfalls of industrial resources, critical technology items, or materials essential for the national defense; and (3) take certain actions to create, maintain, protect, expand, or restore domestic industrial base capabilities necessary for the national defense. Establishes in the Treasury the Defense Production Act Fund to carry out such authorities. Extends from two to five years the maximum period of voluntary agreements and plans of action entered into by business and industry leaders to help provide for the defense of the United States through the development of preparedness programs and the expansion of productive capacity and supply beyond the levels needed to meet essential civilian demand. Establishes the Defense Production Act Committee to advise the President on the effective use of authority under the Act by the departments, agencies, and independent establishments of the federal government to which the President has delegated authority. Requires an annual report from the President to the congressional finance committees on the impact of offsets on U.S. defense preparedness, industrial competitiveness, employment, and trade.
