GENERAL PROVISIONS 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

SEC. 301. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2006 or any previous fiscal year may 

be used to make payments for a noncompetitive management and 

operating contract unless the Secretary of Energy has published 

in the Federal Register and submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a written 

notification, with respect to each such contract, of the Secretary’s 

decision to use competitive procedures for the award of the contract, 

or to not renew the contract, when the term of the contract expires. 

(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to an extension for up to 

2 years of a noncompetitive management and operating contract, 

if the extension is for purposes of allowing time to award competitively a new contract, to provide continuity of service between 

contracts, or to complete a contract that will not be renewed. 

(b) In this section: 

(1) The term ‘‘noncompetitive management and operating 

contract’’ means a contract that was awarded more than 50 

years ago without competition for the management and operation of Ames Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore 

National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

(2) The term ‘‘competitive procedures’’ has the meaning 

provided in section 4 of the Office of Federal Procurement 

Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403) and includes procedures described 

in section 303 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 253) other than a procedure that 

solicits a proposal from only one source. 

(c) For all management and operating contracts other than 

those listed in subsection (b)(1), none of the funds appropriated 

by this Act may be used to award a management and operating 

contract, or award a significant extension or expansion to an 

existing management and operating contract, unless such contract 

is awarded using competitive procedures or the Secretary of Energy 

grants, on a case-by-case basis, a waiver to allow for such a deviation. The Secretary may not delegate the authority to grant such 

a waiver. At least 60 days before a contract award for which 

the Secretary intends to grant such a waiver, the Secretary shall 

submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report notifying the Committees 

of the waiver and setting forth, in specificity, the substantive reasons why the Secretary believes the requirement for competition 

should be waived for this particular award. 

SEC. 302. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may 

be used to—
H. R. 2419—33

(1) develop or implement a workforce restructuring plan 

that covers employees of the Department of Energy; or 

(2) provide enhanced severance payments or other benefits 

for employees of the Department of Energy, under section 3161 

of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 

(Public Law 102–484; 42 U.S.C. 7274h). 

SEC. 303. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may 

be used to augment the funds made available for obligation by 

this Act for severance payments and other benefits and community 

assistance grants under section 3161 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102–484; 42 

U.S.C. 7274h) unless the Department of Energy submits a reprogramming request to the appropriate congressional committees. 

SEC. 304. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may 

be used to prepare or initiate Requests For Proposals (RFPs) for 

a program if the program has not been funded by Congress. 

SEC. 305. The unexpended balances of prior appropriations 

provided for activities in this Act may be available to the same 

appropriation accounts for such activities established pursuant to 

this title. Available balances may be merged with funds in the 

applicable established accounts and thereafter may be accounted 

for as one fund for the same time period as originally enacted. 

SEC. 306. None of the funds in this or any other Act for 

the Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration may 

be used to enter into any agreement to perform energy efficiency 

services outside the legally defined Bonneville service territory, 

with the exception of services provided internationally, including 

services provided on a reimbursable basis, unless the Administrator 

certifies in advance that such services are not available from private 

sector businesses. 

SEC. 307. When the Department of Energy makes a user facility 

available to universities or other potential users, or seeks input 

from universities or other potential users regarding significant 

characteristics or equipment in a user facility or a proposed user 

facility, the Department shall ensure broad public notice of such 

availability or such need for input to universities and other potential 

users. When the Department of Energy considers the participation 

of a university or other potential user as a formal partner in 

the establishment or operation of a user facility, the Department 

shall employ full and open competition in selecting such a partner. 

For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘user facility’’ includes, but 

is not limited to: (1) a user facility as described in section 2203(a)(2) 

of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13503(a)(2)); (2) a 

National Nuclear Security Administration Defense Programs Technology Deployment Center/User Facility; and (3) any other Departmental facility designated by the Department as a user facility. 

SEC. 308. Funds appropriated by this or any other Act, or 

made available by the transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence 

activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress 

for purposes of section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 

(50 U.S.C. 414) during fiscal year 2006 until the enactment of 

the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2006. 

SEC. 309. None of the funds in this Act may be used to dispose 

of transuranic waste in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant which contains concentrations of plutonium in excess of 20 percent by weight 

for the aggregate of any material category on the date of enactment 

of this Act, or is generated after such date. For the purpose of 
H. R. 2419—34
