; (2) because of a lack of national policy, nonnative plant pests and pathogens of forests are a low priority for all Federal agencies; and (3) efforts to prevent the introduction and spread of nonnative plant pests and pathogens, and especially to reduce the resulting damage and restore tree species to forests, lack coordination and action. (b) Study (1) In general The Secretary of Agriculture (referred to in this section as the Secretary ) shall seek to enter into an agreement (referred to in this section as the Agreement ) with the National Academy of Sciences, or another nongovernmental entity that the Secretary determines to be most appropriate, under which the National Academy of Sciences or other entity, as applicable, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, shall conduct, and submit to Congress a report describing the results of, a study to analyze the available resources that Federal agencies have to research, and find solutions to, nonnative plant pests and pathogens. (2) Recommendations The report submitted pursuant to paragraph (1) shall include recommendations— (A) with respect to— (i) establishing a national policy to effectively counter the threat posed by nonnative pests and disease pathogens to tree species, including preventing the introduction and spread of those pests and pathogens, minimizing the damage caused by those pests and pathogens, and restoring affected tree species to the forest; (ii) improving coordination and cooperation among Federal agencies with responsibility for management and repair of the decimation of tree species affected by nonnative pests and disease pathogens and associated ecological destruction; (iii) addressing the low prioritization by the Federal agencies described in clause (ii) of nonnative plant pests and pathogens affecting forests and trees; (iv) (I) identifying expertise and site and facility resources within the Federal agencies described in clause (ii)
