- * Discussions are proceeding on whether ITER Preparation costs accounted for within the ITER Other Project Costs (OPC) and therefore within the ITER Total Project Cost (TPC).

- _Preparations funding_ - completion of the ITER Transitional Arrangements (ITA), a framework used in anticipation of an International ITER Agreement.  These ITA activities involve all six ITER Parties and provide analyses of various transitional issues including safety, licensing, project management, preparation of specifications and system integration and for the continuation of various technical activities of the U.S. scientists and engineers in laboratories, universities, and industry.
- _TEC funding_ - procurement, fabrication and delivery of medium- and high- technology components, assignment of U.S. personnel to the ITER Organization abroad, and a provision of cash for the U.S. share of common costs at the ITER site for installation and testing.
- _OPC funding_ - R&D and design in support of magnets, plasma facing components, tritium processing, fueling and pumping, heating and current drive, materials, and diagnostics.
