in the case of proposed new construction and for major upgrades to existing facilities, funding profiles, by fiscal year, and milestones for major phases of the construction;
for each project funded under the major research equipment and facilities construction account and for major upgrades of facilities in support of Antarctic research programs—
estimates of the total project cost (from planning to commissioning); and
the source of funds, including Federal funding identified by appropriations category and non-Federal funding;
estimates of the full life-cycle cost of each national research facility;
information on any plans to retire national research facilities; and
