National Institute of Standards and Technology Surviving Unprecedented Climate Change Effects with Standard Setting (NIST SUCCESS) Act of 2017

This bill requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to: (1) identify consistent and authoritative climate information to assist organizations that develop standards, building codes, and voluntary certifications to appropriately anticipate extreme weather and other climate change challenges; (2) identify efforts to set standards, building codes, and voluntary certifications relating to infrastructure and systems that may depend on accurate climate information and projections; and (3) take steps to make the information available to the entities setting those standards, codes, and certifications.

NIST must also coordinate federal agencies efforts to set those standards, codes, and certifications.
