SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Commission was 

established to provide advice to the 

Secretary of Energy on the Department’s 

national laboratories. The Commission 

will review the DOE national 

laboratories for alignment with the 

Department’s strategic priorities, clear 

and balanced missions, unique 

capabilities to meet current energy and 

national security challenges, 

appropriate size to meet the 

Department’s energy and national 

security missions, and support of other 

Federal agencies. The Commission will 

also look for opportunities to more 

effectively and efficiently use the 

capabilities of the national laboratories 

and review the use of laboratory 

directed research and development 

(LDRD) to meet the Department’s 

science, energy, and national security 

goals. 

Given the broad scope and aggressive 

timeline for the report, the Secretary of 

Energy and Congress agreed to split the 

study into two phases. The Interim 

Report contains the preliminary 

observations and recommendations 

found in Phase 1 of the study, which 

consisted of literature review, visits to 

five of the National Laboratories; 

interviews with staff from across the 

National Laboratories, DOE, other 

Federal agencies, companies, other nongovernmental organizations, and 

additional interested parties; and 

presentations at public Commission 

meetings. In Phase 2, the Commission 

will refine the conclusions of the 

Interim Report and focus on operational 

issues affecting the efficiency and 

effectiveness of the work of the National 

Laboratories in carrying out their 

missions. The commissioners will visit 

the remaining 12 National Laboratories. 

The Final Report is anticipated in early 

Fall 2015. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 10, 

2015.
