As soon as possible after August 23, 1988, each agency of the Federal Government shall establish guidelines to carry out the policy set forth in section 205b of this title (with particular emphasis upon the policy set forth in paragraph (2) of that section), and as part of its annual budget submission for each fiscal year beginning after August 23, 1988, shall report to the Congress on the actions which it has taken during the previous fiscal year, as well as the actions which it plans for the fiscal year involved, to implement fully the metric system of measurement in accordance with that policy. Such reporting shall cease for an agency in the fiscal year after it has fully implemented its efforts under section 205b(2) of this title.

(b) Implementation review by Comptroller General

At the end of the fiscal year 1992, the Comptroller General shall review the implementation of this subchapter, and upon completion of such review shall report his findings to the Congress along with any legislative recommendations he may have.
