15 U.S.C. § 5202 — National Action Plan on Advanced Superconductivity Research and Development

(a) Establishment
(1) The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy must establish a 5-year National Action Plan on Advanced Superconductivity Research and Development (hereinafter in this chapter referred to as the “Superconductivity Action Plan”).
(2) The Office of Science and Technology Policy must 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.

(b) Content and scope The Superconductivity Action Plan must include—
(1) goals and priorities for advanced superconductivity research and development to be carried out by individual departments and agencies and organizational elements in it;
(2) the assignment of responsibility for the conduct of advanced superconductivity research and development among the departments, agencies, and organization elements in it;
(3) recommendation of proposed funding levels for activities relating to superconductivity of the 5 years following November 19, 1988 , for each of the participating departments, agencies, and organizational elements in it; and
(4) proposals for the participation by industry and academia in the planning and implementation of the Superconductivity Action Plan.

(c) Action Plan report The Office of Science and Technology Policy, in conjunction with the National Critical Materials Council, must 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 November 19, 1988 .

(d) Update reports The Office of Science and Technology Policy must prepare an annual report setting forth and evaluating the progress of the Superconductivity Action Plan. This report must include a description of the amount of funds expended in the previous year by all Federal departments and agencies involved with superconductivity. This report must 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.
