The Advisory Committee shall establish a uniform format for data submissions to the Database. The Advisory Committee and the Interagency Working Group shall jointly, not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, establish and maintain a list of diseases subject to reporting under this section.
The Secretary shall provide access to the database to— the Director of the Centers for Disease Control; the Secretary of Agriculture; the Secretary of Commerce; and such other heads of Federal, State, and Tribal agencies as the Secretary determines appropriate. The Secretary may issue such regulations as the Secretary determines appropriate to carry out this section. The Secretary shall, not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit a report to Congress on the most appropriate way to structure the National Wildlife Disease Database to make data as available to the public as possible without disclosing sensitive data relating to Tribal sovereign data, data that poses a threat to national security or public health, or sensitive State or private data.
