The Interior Secretary, through the U.S. Geological Survey, had to update the country's 1978 geothermal resources assessment within three years. The Secretary must send that updated assessment to Congress, and update it again as new data or technology warrants.

Within 3 years after August 8, 2005 — and again later, whenever new data or technology makes it worthwhile — the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey and working with the states, must (1) update the Assessment of Geothermal Resources that was originally done in 1978, and (2) send that updated assessment to Congress.
