GENERAL PROVISIONS 
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 
SEC. 301. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any other appropria-
tions 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 Appro-
priations 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 competi-
tively 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 oper-
ation of Ames Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Law-
rence 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 Serv-
ices 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 devi-
ation. 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 Rep-
resentatives and the Senate a report notifying the Committees 
of the waiver and setting forth, in specificity, the substantive rea-
sons 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 re-
programming 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 Tech-
nology Deployment Center/User Facility; and (3) any other Depart-
mental 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 con-
tains 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

Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site include: (1) ash resi-
dues; (2) salt residue; (3) wet residues; (4) direct repackage residues;

all grants made for this project may be deferred until the entire 
project is completed.
