Within 180 days, the Director must plan how to handle sensitive research information. The plan must find which research areas involve controlled or classified data. It must also set rules for carefully deciding who gets access to that data.

(a) In general. Within 180 days of August 9, 2022, the Director, working with the Director of National Intelligence and other federal agencies as needed, must create a plan that does two things: identifies which Foundation-supported research areas — including the key technology focus areas — might involve access to controlled unclassified information or classified information; and sets up careful review before granting access to that information to Foundation employees or covered individuals working on Foundation-funded research awards. (b) Definitions. "Classified information" means information that has been designated, under Executive Order 13526 (or an order before or after it) or specific parts of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as needing protection from unauthorized disclosure. "Controlled unclassified information," or "CUI," means information designated under Executive Order 13556 or any order that replaces it as needing protection from unauthorized disclosure.
