§5877 Reports to President for submission to Congress

Summary

The Administrator must send a report to the President, as soon as possible after each fiscal year ends, so the President can give it to Congress. The report must say the Administration’s short- and long-term goals, priorities, and plans. It must also say how much progress was made toward those goals and toward running the agency better and coordinating its work. In the first year in office, the Administrator and the Secretary of Defense must study whether functions about military uses and restricted data should move to the Department of Defense or another federal agency. Within one year after the Administrator starts, they must send a report to the President for Congress with their analysis, main options, and specific recommendations. The Commission must also send an annual report to the President for Congress that states its goals about commercial nuclear power and explains its work and findings on six areas, including safe plant design, investigating problems, protecting special nuclear materials, responding to thefts, disposing of high-level waste, and guarding against low-level emissions.
