SEC. 3140. TRANSFER OR LEASE OF PROPERTY AT DEPART-
MENT OF ENERGY WEAPON PRODUCTION FA-
CILITIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The termination or reconfiguration of weap-
on production activities at facilities of the Depart-
ment of Energy within the United States is a nec-
essary consequence of the end of the Cold War and
of changed United States national security require-
ments.
750
HR 2401 RDS
(2) A facility of the Department of Energy is
a significant source of employment for many com-
munities, and the closure or reconfiguration of such
a facility may cause economic hardship for the work-
ers and the communities.
(3) It is in the interest of the United States
that the Federal Government facilitate the economic
recovery of communities that experience adverse eco-
nomic circumstances as the result of the closure or
reconfiguration of a Department of Energy facility
and, where possible, prevent the occurrence of ad-
verse economic circumstances.
(4) It is in the interest of the United States
that the Federal Government work with communities
that experience adverse economic circumstances as
the result of the closure or reconfiguration of De-
partment of Energy facilities to identify and imple-
ment means of reutilizing or redeveloping such facili-
ties in a beneficial manner.
(5) The Federal Government may provide such
assistance by closing or reconfiguring such facilities
and conveying the real property in a manner that
best ensures environmental protection and the bene-
ficial reutilization or redevelopment of such facilities
by such communities.
751
HR 2401 RDS
(6) The Federal Government may best ensure
such reutilization and redevelopment by making
available real and personal property of the closing or
reconfigured Department of Energy facilities to com-
munities 
affected 
by 
such 
closures 
or
reconfigurations on a timely basis, and, if appro-
priate, at less than fair market value.
(7) Preservation of the national technology and
industrial base could be assisted by the appropriate
transfer, lease, or reutilization of property, facilities,
and equipment which currently are not needed for
the Department of Energy weapon production mis-
sion.
(8) A delay in the transfer, lease, or
reutilization of such property, facilities, and equip-
ment for commercial use will reduce the national
technology and industrial base because of lost skilled
personnel and lost business opportunities.
(b) MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY.—
(1) The Administrator of General Services shall delegate
to the Secretary of Energy, with respect to property cov-
ered under subsection (d)—
(A) the authority of the Administrator to utilize
excess property under section 202 of the Federal
752
HR 2401 RDS
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949
(40 U.S.C. 483);
(B) the authority of the Administrator to dis-
pose of surplus property under section 203 of that
Act (40 U.S.C. 484); and
(C) the authority of the Administrator to grant
approvals and make determinations under section
13(g) of the Surplus Property Act of 1944 (50
U.S.C. App. 1622(g)).
(2)(A) Subject to subparagraph (C), the Secretary of
Energy shall exercise the authority delegated to the Sec-
retary pursuant to paragraph (1) in accordance with—
(i) all regulations in effect on the date of the
enactment of this Act governing the utilization of ex-
cess property and the disposal of surplus property
under the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949; and
(ii) all regulations in effect on the date of the
enactment of this Act governing the conveyance and
disposal of property under section 13(g) of the Sur-
plus Property Act of 1944 (50 U.S.C. App.
1622(g)).
(B) The Secretary, after consulting with the Adminis-
trator of General Services, may issue regulations that are
753
HR 2401 RDS
necessary to carry out the delegation of authority required
by paragraph (1).
(C) The authority required to be delegated by para-
graph (1) to the Secretary by the Administrator of Gen-
eral Services shall not include the authority to prescribe
general policies and methods for utilizing excess property
and disposing of surplus property.
(c) ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY TO TRANSFER
AND
LEASE.—(1) The Secretary of Energy may transfer or
lease any or all right, title, and interest of the United
States in and to the property referred to in subsection (d)
to any public agency if the Secretary determines that such
transfer or lease will mitigate the adverse economic con-
sequences that might otherwise arise from the closure or
reconfiguration of a Department of Energy facility.
(2)(A) The consideration to be paid to the United
States for any transfer or lease under paragraph (1) shall
be for the estimated fair market value of such property
or leasehold interest, as determined by the Secretary of
Energy, except that the Secretary may accept consider-
ation for an amount that is not less than 50 percent of
the estimated fair market value of such property if the
Secretary determines that—
755
HR 2401 RDS
(ii) reform, correct, or amend any such instru-
ment by the execution of a corrective, reformative,
or amendatory instrument where necessary to cor-
rect such instrument or to conform such transfer or
lease to the requirements of applicable law; and
(iii)(I) grant releases from any of the terms,
conditions, reservations, and restrictions contained
in, and (II) convey, quitclaim, or release to the
transferee any right or interest reserved to the Unit-
ed States by, any instrument by which such transfer
or lease is made, if the Secretary determines that
the property transferred no longer serves the pur-
pose for which it was transferred, or that such re-
lease, conveyance, or quitclaim will not prevent ac-
complishment of the purpose for which such prop-
erty was so transferred.
Any such releases, conveyance, or quitclaim may be grant-
ed on, or made subject to, such terms and conditions as
the Secretary considers necessary to protect or advance
the interests of the United States.
(d) COVERED PROPERTY.—Property that may be
transferred or leased under subsections (c) and (g) is the
related personal property and acquired real property at
a facility of the Department of Energy to be closed or

missions of the Department.
(e) APPLICABILITY
OF
OTHER
LAWS.—Property
transferred or leased under subsections (c) and (g) shall

(1) the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 471 et seq.), to the
extent not inconsistent with this section; and
(2) all applicable environmental laws, including
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Com-
pensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C.
9601 et seq.).
(f) LIMITATION ON RELOCATION OF EQUIPMENT.—
The Secretary shall not relocate equipment from a facility,
such as machine tools that could be useful in converting
the facility, except in cases where buying new equipment
would be significantly more costly or significantly more
time-consuming than moving the equipment. The Sec-
retary shall establish guidelines for determining costs
under this subsection.
(g) REUTILIZATION.—To the extent practicable, the
Secretary of Energy may make available for reutilization
a facility or property of the Department of Energy that
is not required for weapon production work in any case
757
HR 2401 RDS
in which the Secretary determines that such reutilization
will—
(1) reduce the long-term cost to the Govern-
ment, including the cost of worker displacement and
retraining in the community in which the facility or
property is located;
(2) contribute to the preservation of the na-
tional technology and industrial base by using the
equipment at the facility or property; or
(3) assist the economic development in the com-
munity in which the facility or property is located.
(h) OTHER TERMS
AND CONDITIONS.—The Sec-
retary may require such additional terms and conditions
with respect to a transfer or lease of property under sub-

tect the interests of the United States.

clusively private or local government use;
(2) leasing of facilities or equipment to non-De-
partment of Energy sources;
(3) use of Department of Energy facilities to
enhance the national technology and industrial base
