CHAPTER 13 - NATIONAL HOUSING

-HEAD-

Sec. 1701j-2. National Institute of Building Sciences

-STATUTE-

(a) Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

(1) The Congress finds (A) that the lack of an authoritative

national source to make findings and to advise both the public and

private sectors of the economy with respect to the use of building

science and technology in achieving nationally acceptable standards

and other technical provision for use in Federal, State, and local

housing and building regulations is an obstacle to efforts by and

imposes severe burdens upon all those who procure, design,

construct, use, operate, maintain, and retire physical facilities,

and frequently results in the failure to take full advantage of new

and useful developments in technology which could improve our

living environment; (B) that the establishment of model buildings

codes or of a single national building code will not completely

resolve the problem because of the difficulty at all levels of

government in updating their housing and building regulations to

reflect new developments in technology, as well as the

irregularities and inconsistencies which arise in applying such

requirements to particular localities or special local conditions;

provisions increases the costs of construction and thereby reduces

the amount of housing and other community facilities which can be

provided; and (D) that the existence of a single authoritative

nationally recognized institution to provide for the evaluation of

new technology could facilitate introduction of such innovations

and their acceptance at the Federal, State, and local levels.

(2) The Congress further finds, however, that while an

authoritative source of technical findings is needed, various

private organizations and institutions, private industry, labor,

and Federal and other governmental agencies and entities are

presently engaged in building research, technology development,

testing, and evaluation, standards and model code development and

promulgation, and information dissemination. These existing

activities should be encouraged and these capabilities effectively

utilized wherever possible and appropriate to the purposes of this

section.

(3) The Congress declares that an authoritative nongovernmental

instrument needs to be created to address the problems and issues

described in paragraph (1), that the creation of such an instrument

should be initiated by the Government, with the advice and

assistance of the National Academy of Sciences-National Academy of

Engineering-National Research Council (hereinafter referred to as

the ''Academies-Research Council'') and of the various sectors of

the building community, including labor and management, technical

experts in building science and technology, and the various levels

of government.

(b) Establishment; advice and assistance of Academies-Research

Council and other agencies and organizations knowledgeable in

building technology

(1) There is authorized to be established, for the purposes

described in subsection (a)(3) of this section, an appropriate

nonprofit, nongovernmental instrument to be known as the National

Institute of Building Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the

''Institute''), which shall not be an agency or establishment of

the United States Government. The Institute shall be subject to the

provisions of this section and, to the extent consistent with this

section, to a charter of the Congress if such a charter is

requested and issued or to the District of Columbia Nonprofit

Corporation Act if that is deemed preferable.

(2) The Academies-Research Council, along with other agencies and

organizations which are knowledgeable in the field of building

technology, shall advise and assist in (A) the establishment of the

Institute; (B) the development of an organizational framework to

encourage and provide for the maximum feasible participation of

public and private scientific, technical, and financial

organizations, institutions, and agencies now engaged in activities

pertinent to the development, promulgation, and maintenance of

performance criteria, standards, and other technical provisions for

building codes and other regulations; and (C) the promulgation of

appropriate organizational rules and procedures including those for

the selection and operation of a technical staff, such rules and

procedures to be based upon the primary object of promoting the

public interest and insuring that the widest possible variety of

interests and experience essential to the functions of the

Institute are represented in the Institute's operations.

Recommendations of the Academies-Research Council shall be based

upon consultations with and recommendations from various private

organizations and institutions, labor, private industry, and

governmental agencies entities operating in the field, and the

Consultative Council as provided for under subsection (c)(8) of

this section.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as expressing the

intent of the Congress that the Academies-Research Council itself

be required to assume any function or operation vested in the

Institute by or under this section.

original appointments were made, or, after the first five years of

operation, as provided for by the organizational rules and

procedures of the Institute; except that, notwithstanding any such

rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Institute, the

President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent

of the Senate, shall appoint, as representative of the public

interest, two of the members of the Board of Directors selected

each year for terms commencing in that year.

(5) The President shall designate one of the members appointed to

the initial Board as Chairman; thereafter, the members of the

initial and succeeding Boards shall annually elect one of their
