**(a) Prioritization of proposed major research equipment and facilities construction**
(1) **Development of priorities** — The Director shall—

(B) submit the list described in subparagraph (A) to the Board for approval.
(2) **Criteria** — The Director shall include in the criteria for developing the list under paragraph (1) the readiness of plans for construction and operation, including confidence in the estimates of the full life-cycle cost (as defined in section 2 of the National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 1998 ([42 U.S.C. 1862k](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1862k&num=0&edition=prelim) note)) and the proposed schedule of completion.
(3) **Updates** — The Director shall update the list prepared under paragraph (1) each time the Board approves a new project that would receive funding under the major research equipment and facilities construction account and periodically submit any updated list to the Board for approval.
**(b) Project management** No national research facility project funded under the major research equipment and facilities construction account shall be managed by an individual whose appointment to the Foundation is temporary.
**(c) Board approval of major research equipment and facilities projects** The Board shall explicitly approve any project to be funded out of the major research equipment and facilities construction account before any funds may be obligated from such account for such project.
