NPR doesn't have the report, it's not published yet. Considering the OSTP vacancy and the current administration's stance on climate change[1], even the anticipated late 2018 date is doubtful.
Alley notes that "there's a little rumbling" among climate scientists who are concerned that the Trump administration will ignore this effort. "I think the authors really are interested in seeing [the report] used wisely by policy makers to help the economy as well as the environment."
The report has been submitted to the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House. Trump has yet to choose anyone to run that office; it remains one of the last unfilled senior positions in the White House staff.
