The Secretary, from time to time, may further update the management plan. The management plan shall be subject to the following conditions:
(1) For newly initiated research and development proposals submitted under the revised management plan, the non-Federal financial share shall equal at least 30 percent of the total cost of any project.
(2) Existing facilities, equipment, supplies, and other property may be included in the non-Federal share under this section only when they are directly relevant to the project.
(3) The knowledge resulting from research and development activities conducted under this chapter shall be developed for the benefit of the domestic companies who provide financial resources to the program.
(4) The Secretary, for a period of up to 5 years after the development of information that—

(3) The knowledge resulting from research and development activities conducted under this chapter shall be developed for the benefit of the domestic companies who provide financial resources to the program.
(4) The Secretary, for a period of up to 5 years after the development of information that—
(A) results from research and development activities conducted under this chapter; and
(B) would be a trade secret or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential, as described in [section 5104(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title15-section5104/a&num=0&edition=prelim), if the information had been obtained from a domestic company,
may provide appropriate protections against the dissemination of such information, including exemption from subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5.
(5) The plan shall assure basic research support, for the research carried out under the research plan, from independent laboratories, universities, and nonprofit organizations, by coordinating activities under the research plan with the basic research efforts of the Department of Energy, such as the Energy Conversion and Utilization Technologies Program and the Materials Processing and Sensor and Controls programs within the Office of Industrial Technologies.
**(c) Priorities** Within 6 months after November 17, 1988, the Secretary shall publish an update of the research plan. In reviewing research and development activities for possible inclusion in the research plan, the Secretary shall consider the following:
(1) **Steel projects**
(A) The direct production of liquid steel from domestic materials.
(B) The production of near-net shape forms from liquid, powder, or solid steel.
(C) The development of universal grades of steel.
(D) The application of automatic processing technology.
(E) The removal of residual elements from steel scrap.
(F) The treatment and storage of waste materials and other byproducts from steel production and processing.
(G) The development of super-plastic steel processing.
(H) The development of advanced sheet and bar steels.

Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
The Congress hereby finds that—
**(a)** The Nation is suffering from a shortage of environmentally acceptable forms of energy.
**(b)** Compounding this energy shortage is our past and present failure to formulate a comprehensive and aggressive research and development program designed to make available to American consumers our large domestic energy reserves including fossil fuels, nuclear fuels, geothermal resources, solar energy, and other forms of energy. This failure is partially because the unconventional energy technologies have not been judged to be economically competitive with traditional energy technologies.
**(c)** The urgency of the Nation’s energy challenge will require commitments similar to those undertaken in the Manhattan and Apollo projects; it will require that the Nation undertake a research, development, and demonstration program in nonnuclear energy technologies with a total Federal investment which may reach or exceed $20,000,000,000 over the next decade.
**(d)** In undertaking such program, full advantage must be taken of the existing technical and managerial expertise in the various energy fields within Federal agencies and particularly in the private sector.
**(e)** The Nation’s future energy needs can be met if a national commitment is made now to dedicate the necessary financial resources, to enlist our scientific and technological capabilities, and to accord the proper priority to developing new nonnuclear energy options to serve national needs, conserve vital resources, and protect the environment.
