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 pre-
vious fiscal year may be used to make payments for a non-
competitive management and operating contract unless 
the Secretary of Energy has published in the Federal Reg-
ister 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 Sec-
retary’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 oper-
ating 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
HR 2419 RH 
awarded more than 50 years ago without competi-
tion for the management and operation of Ames 
Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence 
Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore 
National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Lab-
oratory. 
(2) The term ‘‘competitive procedures’’ has the 
meaning provided in section 4 of the Office of Fed-
eral 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 signifi-
cant 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
HR 2419 RH 
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.

be merged with funds in the applicable established ac-
counts 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

imbursable basis, unless the Administrator certifies in ad-
vance that such services are not available from private sec-
tor 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
HR 2419 RH 
users. When the Department of Energy considers the par-
ticipation of a university or other potential user as a for-
mal partner in the establishment or operation of a user 
facility, the Department shall employ full and open com-
petition in selecting such a partner. For purposes of this 
section, the term ‘‘user facility’’ includes, but is not lim-
ited 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 Adminis-
tration Defense Programs Technology Deployment Cen-
ter/User Facility; and (3) any other Departmental facility
