The President shall transmit such report by not later than 60 days before the date on which the President carries out any such recommended reductions.(3) Exception.— The notification in paragraph (2) shall not apply to—(A) reductions made to ensure the safety, security, reliability, and credibility of the nuclear weapons stockpile and strategic delivery systems, including activities related to surveillance, assessment, certification, testing, and maintenance of nuclear warheads and strategic delivery systems; or(B) nuclear warheads that are retired or awaiting dismantlement on the date of the certification under paragraph (1).(4) Additional views.— On the date on which the President transmits to the congressional defense committees a report by the Commander of the United States Strategic Command under paragraph (2), the President may transmit to such committees a report by the President with respect to whether the recommended reductions covered by the report of the Commander will impact the deterrence or extended deterrence capabilities of the United States.
