 102 STAT. 4616

PUBLIC LAW 100-697—NOV. 19, 1988

(b) ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES.—In conducting research under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall— (1) systematically define the engineering parameters for hightemperature superconducting materials; and (2) conduct the necessary development, engineering, and operational prototype testing considered appropriate to the overall mission of the Department of Defense. Such operational prototype testing shall, where appropriate, utilize criteria developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. (c) DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY.—The Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency shall, in conformance with the Superconductivity Action Plan, conduct activities to— (1) augment, as appropriate, basic and applied superconductivity research conducted in other Federal agencies and industry; and (2) develop criteria for operational prototype testing within the Department of Defense. 15 USC 5208.

SEC. 9. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

President of U.S.

The President, as part of the Superconductivity Action Plan, shall establish a program of international cooperation in the conduct of fundamental and basic research on superconducting materials. Such program of international cooperation shall include the exchange of basic information and data, as well as the development of international standards for the use and application of superconducting materials.

15 USC 5209.

SEC. 10. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER.

(a) PROMOTION.—In pursuance of the goals of this Act, all Federal departments and agencies shall conduct technology transfer activities as appropriate to the overall mission of each department or agency to— (1) complement basic superconductivity research by promoting the rapid development of manufacturing and processing technologies necessary for the commercialization of hightemperature superconductors; and (2) promote collaborative arrangements and consortia of industry (which shall include small business) in order to lower the barriers to deployment of advanced high-temperature superconductor technology; such consortia to also include, as appropriate, universities and independent research organizations. (b) IMPEDIMENTS TO COMMERCIALIZATION.—The Director of

the

Office of Science and Technology Policy, in collaboration with the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Energy, shall identify those Federal policies and regulations which impede the ability of the private sector to undertake long-term investment programs to commercialize superconductivity applications. SEC. 11. MANUEL LUJAN, JR. NEUTRON SCATTERING CENTER.

(a) RENAMING FACILITY.—The Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center is hereby redesignated as the "Manuel Lujan, Jr. Neutron Scattering Center".
