To carry out the program, the Secretary is authorized to maintain a Critical Materials Energy Innovation Hub. To collect, catalogue, disseminate, and archive information on energy critical elements in coordination with the Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information, the Hub shall establish and maintain a Critical Materials Information Center. The Center shall— serve as the repository for scientific and technical data generated by the research and development activities funded under this section; assist scientists and engineers in making the fullest possible use of the Center’s data holdings; seek and incorporate other information on energy critical elements to enhance the Center’s utility for program participants and other users; provide advice to the Secretary concerning the program; and host meetings, at least annually, for participants in the program and other interested parties to promote information sharing and encourage new collaborative activities.
Not more than 2.5 percent of the amounts made available pursuant to this section may be used for hosting conferences under subparagraph (A)(v). An award made to operate the Hub shall be for a period not to exceed 5 years, after which the award may be renewed, subject to a rigorous merit review. A Hub already in existence on the date of enactment of this Act may continue to receive support for a period of 5 years beginning on the date of establishment of that Hub. Following this process, if the Secretary determines that award renewal for the Hub is justified, then the Secretary must submit a report to the appropriate Congressional committees at least 30 days prior to the award renewal which explains the Secretary’s determination and describes the Department’s review process.
No funds provided pursuant to this section may be used for construction of new buildings or facilities for the Hub. Construction of new buildings or facilities shall not be considered as part of the non-Federal share of a Hub cost-sharing agreement.
