GENERAL PROVISIONS 
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 
SEC. 301. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any 
other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2005 or any pre-
vious fiscal year may be used to make payments for a 
noncompetitive management and operating contract un-
less the Secretary of Energy has published in the Federal 
Register and submitted to the Committees on Appropria-
tions 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 con-
tract, when the term of the contract expires. 
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to an extension for 
up to two years of a noncompetitive management and op-
erating contract, if the extension is for purposes of allow-
ing time to award competitively a new contract, to pro-
vide continuity of service between contracts, or to com-
plete a contract that will not be renewed.

(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
