shall-- 7,a7 not exceed one year in duration2 7,b7 develop supplemental guidelines for ,,ai-ready datasets used in specific sectors and scientific domains in accordance with the guidelines published under subsection 7a72 7,c7 assess the impact of such guidelines on data usability1 interoperability1 and readiness for use in artificial intelligence systems in specific sectors and scientific or domains2 7,d7 identify technical1 operational1 or resource challenges associated with future implementation and maintenance of such guidelines in specific sectors and scientific domains2 and 7,e7 develop1 as practicable and appropriate1 a process and materials for the transition to an appropriate non-,federal entity of such guidelines for future implementation of and updates to such guidelines4 7#c7 ,selection of topics ,if pilot programs under this subsection are carried out1 such programs shall prioritize areas-- 7,a7 with significant national security and industrial competitiveness implications1 such as biotechnology and biomanufacturing2 and 7,b7 with respect to which ,federal agencies control and maintain ,,ai-ready datasets4 7#c7 ,participation ,if pilot programs under this subsection are carried out1 the ,director shall carry out not more than two concurrent such programs through federally funded research programs1 ,national ,laboratories1
