## SEC. 1043 STRATEGIC RESEARCH PLAN **[**[49 U.S.C. 40101 note](/us/usc/t49/s40101)**]** ###
(a)In General Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the interagency working group shall develop and periodically update, as appropriate, a strategic plan for Federal research, development, deployment, and testing of advanced air mobility systems and unmanned aircraft systems. ###
(b)Considerations In developing the plan required under subsection (a), the interagency working group shall consider and use— ####
(1)information, reports, and studies on advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems that have identified research, development, deployment, and testing needed; ####
(2)information set forth in the national aviation research plan developed under section 44501(c) of title 49, United States Code; and ####
(3)recommendations made by the National Academies in the review of the plan under subsection (d). ###
(c)Contents of the Plan In developing the plan required under subsection (a), the interagency working group shall— ####
(1)determine and prioritize areas of advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems research, development, demonstration, and testing requiring Federal Government leadership and investment; ####
(2)establish, for the 10-year period beginning in the calendar year the plan is submitted, the goals and priorities for Federal research, development, and testing which will— #####
(A)support the development of advanced air mobility technologies and the development of an advanced air mobility research, innovation, and manufacturing ecosystem; #####
(B)take into account sustained, consistent, and coordinated support for advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems research, development, and demonstration, including through grants, cooperative agreements, testbeds, and testing facilities; #####
(C)apply lessons learned from unmanned aircraft systems research, development, demonstration, and testing to advanced air mobility systems; #####
(D)inform the development of voluntary consensus technical standards and best practices for the development and use of advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems; #####
(E)support education and training activities at all levels to prepare the United States workforce to use and interact with advanced air mobility systems and unmanned aircraft systems; #####
(F)support partnerships to leverage knowledge and resources from industry, State, local, Tribal, and Federal governments, the National Laboratories, Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Research of the FAA, unmanned aircraft systems test ranges (as defined in section 44801 of title 49, United States Code), academic institutions, labor organizations, and others to advance research activities; #####
(G)leverage existing Federal investments; and #####
(H)promote hardware interoperability and open-source systems; ####
(3)support research and other activities on the impacts of advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems on national security, safety, economic, legal, workforce, and other appropriate societal issues; ####
(4)reduce barriers to transferring research findings, capabilities, and new technologies related to advanced air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems into operation for the benefit of society and United States competitiveness; ####
(5)in consultation with the Council of Economic Advisers, measure and track the contributions of unmanned aircraft systems and advanced air mobility to United States economic growth and other societal indicators; and ####
(6)identify relevant research and development programs and make recommendations for the coordination of relevant activities of the Federal agencies and set forth the role of each Federal agency in implementing the plan. ###
(d)National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Evaluation The Administrator shall seek to enter into an agreement with the National Academies to review the plan every 5 years. ###
(e)Public Participation In developing the plan under subsection (a), the interagency working group shall consult with representatives of stakeholder groups, which may include academia, research institutions, and State, industry, and labor organizations. Not later than 90 days before the plan, or any revision thereof, is submitted to Congress, the plan shall be published in the Federal Register for a public comment period of not less than 60 days. ###
(f)Reports to Congress on the Strategic Research Plan ####
(1)Progress report Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the interagency working group described in section 1042 of this Act shall transmit to the covered committees of Congress a report that describes the progress in developing the plan required under this section. ####
(2)Initial report Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the interagency working group shall transmit to the covered committees of Congress the strategic research plan developed under this section. ####
(3)Biennial report Not later than 1 year after the transmission of the initial report under paragraph
(2)and every 2 years thereafter until December 31, 2033, the interagency working group shall transmit to the covered committees of Congress a report that includes an analysis of the progress made towards achieving the goals and priorities for the strategic research plan.
