Such a determination shall be reported to Congress by the Secretary and shall include a report, to be updated biennially, regarding the care and maintenance of the chimpanzees and costs related to such care and maintenance ; and by striking the last sentence; and in paragraph (3), by striking board of directors and inserting Secretary, in consultation with the board of directors .
