SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Department of Energy
Small Business and Industry Partnership Enhancement
Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) partnerships between contractor-operated
facilities of the Department of Energy and small
businesses can enhance growth of competitive small
business opportunities;
(2) the contractor-operated facilities represent a
national resource in science and technology;
(3) capacity for innovation in the United States
is enhanced when the capabilities of the contractor-
operated facilities are engaged with other providers
and users of the Nation’s science and technology
base;
(4) contributors to the Nation’s science and
technology delivery system, Federal agencies, private
industry, universities, and the contractor-operated
facilities can best perform their missions through
partnerships and interactions that leverage the re-
sources of each such entity;
(5) interactions of the contractor-operated fa-
cilities with industry and universities serve to—
(A) expand the technology base available
for missions of the Department of Energy; and
(B) instill sound business practices in the
contractor-operated facilities to enable cost-ef-
fective realization of the Federal missions of the
facilities;
(6) the contractor-operated facilities benefit
from university interactions through access to lead-
ing edge research and through recruitment of the
talent needed to pursue the missions of the facilities;
(7) industry can improve products and proc-
esses leading to an enhanced competitive position
through simplified access to the science and tech-
nology developed by the contractor-operated facili-
ties; and
(8) other Federal agencies can advance their
own missions by using capabilities developed within
the contractor-operated facilities.
SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to improve the ability of small businesses,
Federal agencies, industry, and universities to work
with the contractor-operated facilities of the Depart-
ment of Energy while ensuring full cost recovery of
each contractor-operated facility’s expenses incurred

ties to expand their partnerships with universities

ated facilities with small businesses so as to—
