``Sec. 7319. Mammography quality standards

of title 38, United States Code, as added by subsection (a), not later 
than the end of the 120-day period beginning on the later of--
            (1) the date on which the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services prescribes quality standards under section 354(f) of 
        the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 263b(f)); or

may waive the requirement of subsection (a) of section 7319 of title 
38, United States Code, as added by subsection (a), to any facility of

any facility only if the Secretary determines, based upon the 
recommendation of the Under Secretary for Health of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, that during the period such a waiver is in effect for 
such facility (including any extension of the waiver under paragraph 
(3)) the facility will be operated in accordance with standards 
prescribed by the Secretary under subsection (b) of such section to 
assure the safety and accuracy of mammography services provided.
    (3) The transition period for purposes of this section is the six-
month period beginning on the date specified in paragraph (1). The 
Secretary may extend such period for a period not to exceed 90 days in 
the case of any Department facility. Any such extension may be made 
only if the Under Secretary for Health determines that--
            (A) without the extension access of veterans to mammography 
        services in the geographic area served by the facility would be 
        significantly reduced; and
            (B) appropriate steps will be taken before the end of the 
        transition period (as extended) to obtain accreditation of the 
        facility as required by subsection (a) of section 7319 of title 
        38, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
    (d) Implementation Report.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall 
submit to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and House 
of Representatives a report on the Secretary's implementation of 
section 7319 of title 38, United States Code, as added by subsection 
(a). The report shall be submitted not later than 180 days after the 
date on which the Secretary prescribes the quality standards required 
under subsection (b) of that section.

                impact to ensure a connection between weather research 
                and improvement of the human condition; and
            (6) testing research concepts at United States Weather 
        Research Program-sponsored test bed centers in an environment 
        identical to those used by operational meteorologists, to 
        enable technology transfer to those operational meteorologists.

SEC. 4. INTERAGENCY PLANNING AND PROCESS.

     The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as the lead 
agency of the United States Weather Research Program, shall coordinate 
and consult with the National Science Foundation, the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration, other appropriate Federal 
agencies, and other appropriate entities to develop, and annually 
update, a five-year plan--
            (1) describing how Federal agencies can best team with 
        universities and other research institutions;
            (2) identifying social, economic, and military needs and 
        requirements for weather information, as well as defining the 
        research required to meet these needs;
            (3) outlining methods for dissemination of weather 
        information to user communities; and
            (4) describing best practices for transferring United 
        States Weather Research Program research results to forecasting 
        operations.

SEC. 5. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

     Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, and annually thereafter, the Administrator of the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration shall transmit to the Committee on 
Science of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report which shall 
include--
            (1) the most recent five-year plan developed or updated 
        under section 4, including the roles and funding to be provided 
        by various Federal agencies in achieving the objectives of the 
        plan;
            (2) a justification of any changes to the plan since the 
        last transmittal under this section; and
            (3) a detailed assessment of the extent to which the 
        objectives of the plan have been achieved.

SEC. 6. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    There are authorized to be appropriated to the Office of 
Atmospheric Research of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration for carrying out this Act--
            (1) for fiscal year 2004, $15,000,000, of which at least 50 
        percent shall be for competitive, merit-reviewed grants to, or 
        contracts or cooperative agreements with, institutions of 
        higher education (as defined in section 101 of the Higher 
        Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001));
            (2) for fiscal year 2005, $15,500,000, of which at least 50 
        percent shall be for competitive, merit-reviewed grants to, or 
        contracts or cooperative agreements with, institutions of 
        higher education (as defined in section 101 of the Higher 
        Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001)); and
            (3) for fiscal year 2006, $16,000,000, of which at least 50 
        percent shall be for competitive, merit-reviewed grants to, or 
        contracts or cooperative agreements with, institutions of 
        higher education (as defined in section 101 of the Higher 
        Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001)).
answer:

United States Weather Research Program Act of 2003 - States that the United States Weather Research Program's priorities shall be in the areas of: (1) hurricanes, to improve landfall location and hurricane strength forecasts; (2) heavy precipitation, to improve winter and rain storm forecasts; (3) floods, to improve flood forecasting and forecasting and warning systems for inland flooding related to tropical cyclones; (4) two-to-fourteen day forecasting, to improve weather predictions and warnings of high-impact weather events, to conduct the Hemispheric Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORpex) to fill observational gaps in the Northern Hemisphere, and to test and evaluate advanced data assimilation techniques in global models; (5) societal and economic impacts, to identify methods of delivering weather information effectively, to recommend ways to improve weather communications, to assess impacts of adverse weather, to evaluate what weather information is most useful, and to perform research on such impacts; and (6) testing research concepts at Program-sponsored test bed centers, to enable technology transfer to operational meteorologists.Directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop and annually update, and NOAA's Administrator to report to Congress on, a five-year plan: (1) describing how Federal agencies can best team with universities and other research institutions; (2) identifying social, economic, and military needs and requirements for weather information; (3) outlining methods for disseminating information to user communities; and (4) describing best practices for transferring Program research results to forecasting operations.
