Establishment of scientific research and development program to develop competitive manufacturing technologies and increase energy efficiency in steel and aluminum industries
(b) Management planWithin 6 months after November 17, 1988, the Secretary shall publish an update of the management plan to expand the steel research and development initiative to include aluminum and to carry out the purposes of this chapter. The Secretary, from time to time, may further update the management plan. The management plan shall be subject to the following conditions:
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.
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.
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.

The development of advanced sheet and bar steels.
The development of technologies and equipment related to the production of steel that enhance the protection of the environment and the safety and health of workers.
Other steel technologies which, in the judgment of the Secretary, further the purposes of this chapter.
The development of technologies which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The production of aluminum.
The treatment and storage of waste materials and other byproducts from aluminum production and processing.
The manufacture of aluminum mill products.
