; (2) to ensure a balance between the research to operations requirements to develop the next generation of regional and global models as well as highly reliable operational models; (3) to take advantage of advanced development concepts to, as appropriate, make next generation weather prediction models available in beta-test mode to operational forecasters, the United States weather industry, and partners in academic and Government research; and (4) to use existing computing resources to improve advanced research and operational weather prediction. 109. United States Weather Research program Section 108 of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Authorization Act of 1992 ( Public Law 102–567 ; 15 U.S.C. 313 note) is amended— (1) in subsection (a)— (A) in paragraph (3), by striking ; and and inserting a semicolon; (B) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting a semicolon; and (C) by inserting after paragraph (4) the following: (5) submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives, not less frequently than once each year, a report, including— (A) a list of ongoing research projects; (B) project goals and a point of contact for each project; (C) the five projects related to weather observations, short-term weather, or subseasonal forecasts within Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research that are closest to op­er­a­tion­al­i­za­tion; (D) for each project referred to in subparagraph (C)— (i) the potential benefit; (ii) any barrier to operationalization; and (iii) the plan for operationalization, including which line office will financially support the project and how much the line office intends to spend; (6) establish teams with staff from the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and the National Weather Service to oversee the op­er­a­tion­al­i­za­tion of research products developed by the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research
