§ 5202. National Action Plan on Advanced Superconductivity Research and Development
Statutory text
Establishment
The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy shall establish a 5-year National Action Plan on Advanced Superconductivity Research and Development (hereinafter in this chapter referred to as the “Superconductivity Action Plan”).
The Office of Science and Technology Policy shall coordinate the development of the Superconductivity Action Plan and any recommendations required by this chapter with the National Critical Materials Council and the National Commission on Superconductivity.
Content and scope
The Superconductivity Action Plan shall include—
goals and priorities for advanced superconductivity research and development to be carried out by individual departments and agencies and organizational elements therein;
the assignment of responsibility for the conduct of advanced superconductivity research and development among the departments, agencies, and organization elements therein;
recommendation of proposed funding levels for activities relating to superconductivity of the 5 years following , for each of the participating departments, agencies, and organizational elements therein; and
proposals for the participation by industry and academia in the planning and implementation of the Superconductivity Action Plan.
Action Plan report
The Office of Science and Technology Policy, in conjunction with the National Critical Materials Council, shall submit a report detailing the Superconductivity Action Plan to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives, and to the Committees on Energy and Natural Resources, and Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, within 9 months after .
Update reports
The Office of Science and Technology Policy shall prepare an annual report setting forth and evaluating the progress of the Superconductivity Action Plan. This report shall include a description of the amount of funds expended in the previous year by all Federal departments and agencies involved with superconductivity. This report shall be submitted with the President’s annual budget request to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives, and to the Committees on Energy and Natural Resources, and Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate.
