Section 102 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 6622 ) is amended to read as follows: The Director shall establish or designate a Committee on Technology under the National Science and Technology Council. The Committee shall be responsible for planning and coordinating Federal programs and activities in advanced manufacturing research and development. The Committee shall— coordinate the advanced manufacturing research and development programs and activities of the Federal agencies, in consultation with the National Economic Council; establish goals and priorities for advanced manufacturing research and development that will strengthen United States manufacturing; work with industry organizations, Federal agencies, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers not represented on the Committee, to identify and reduce regulatory, logistical, and fiscal barriers within the Federal Government and State governments that inhibit United States advanced manufacturing; facilitate the transfer of intellectual property and technology based on federally supported university research into commercialization and manufacturing; identify technological, market, or business challenges that may best be addressed by public-private partnerships, and are likely to attract both participation and primary funding from industry; encourage the formation of public-private partnerships to respond to those challenges for transition for United States advanced manufacturing; and develop, and update every 4 years, a strategic plan to guide Federal programs and activities in support of advanced manufacturing research and development, which shall— specify and prioritize near-term and long-term research and development objectives, the anticipated time frame for achieving the objectives, and the metrics for use in assessing progress toward the objectives; describe the progress made in achieving the objectives from the National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing issued in February 2012 and any subsequent updates, including a discussion of why specific objectives were not met; specify the role and budget resources of each Federal agency in carrying out or sponsoring research and development to meet the objectives of the strategic plan; describe how the Federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers supporting advanced manufacturing research and development will foster the transfer of research and development results into new manufacturing technologies and United States based manufacturing of new products and processes for the benefit of society to ensure national, energy, and economic security; describe how Federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers supporting advanced manufacturing research and development will strengthen all levels of manufacturing education and training programs to ensure an adequate, well-trained workforce; describe how the Federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers supporting advanced manufacturing research and development will assist small- and medium-sized manufacturers in developing and implementing new products and processes; analyze factors that impact innovation and competitiveness for United States advanced manufacturing, including— technology transfer and commercialization activities; the adequacy of the national security industrial base; the capabilities of the domestic manufacturing workforce; export opportunities and trade policies; financing, investment, and taxation policies and practices; emerging technologies and markets; and advanced manufacturing research and development undertaken by competing nations; and elicit and consider the recommendations of a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives from diverse manufacturing companies, academia, and other relevant organizations and institutions.
Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the FIRST Act of 2014 , the Director shall transmit the initial strategic plan developed under subsection (b)(7) to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives, which shall update the National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing issued in February 2012. Subsequent updates of this strategic plan shall be transmitted to those committees and posted on a public website not later than May 1, 2018, and every 4 years thereafter.
The President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology shall appoint an advisory committee of private sector leaders to provide input, perspective, and recommendations to assist in the development of the strategic plan and subsequent updates reported under subsection (c). Such panel shall have no more than 15 members, and shall include representatives of manufacturing businesses, the manufacturing workforce, academia, and groups representing interests affected by manufacturing activities.
