                           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 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 Appropriations 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 two 
years of a noncompetitive management and operating 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 awarded more than 50 years 
        ago without competition for the management and operation of 
        Ames Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence 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 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 
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 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 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.
        Sec. 302. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be 
used to--
            (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 
        (P.L. 102-484; 42 U.S.C. 7274h).
        Sec. 303. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be

fiscal year for severance payments and other benefits and community 
assistance grants under section 3161 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (P.L. 102-484; 42 U.S.C. 7274h) 
unless the Department of Energy submits a reprogramming request subject 
to approval by 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.

                   (transfers of unexpended balances)

        Sec. 305. The unexpended balances of prior appropriations 
provided for activities in this Act may be transferred to appropriation 
accounts for such activities established pursuant to this title. 
Balances so transferred 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 Technology 
Deployment Center/User Facility; and (3) any other Departmental 
facility designated by the Department as a user facility.

Administration may authorize the manager of a covered nuclear weapons 
research, development, testing or production facility to engage in 
research, development, and demonstration activities with respect to the 
engineering and manufacturing capabilities at such facility in order to 
maintain and enhance such capabilities at such facility: Provided, That 
of the amount allocated to a covered nuclear weapons facility each 
fiscal year from amounts available to the Department of Energy for such 
fiscal year for national security programs, not more than an amount 
equal to 2 percent of such amount may be used for these activities: 
Provided further, That for purposes of this section, the term ``covered 
nuclear weapons facility'' means the following:
            (1) the Kansas City Plant, Kansas City, Missouri;

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 2005 until the enactment of the Intelligence 
Authorization Act for fiscal year 2005.
    Sec. 310. None of the funds made available in this or any other 
appropriations Act for fiscal year 2005 or any previous fiscal year may 
be used to select a site for a Modern Pit Facility during fiscal year 
2005.
    Sec. 311. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
to finance laboratory directed research and development activities at 
Department of Energy laboratories on behalf of other Federal agencies.

reexport, or transfer, or retransfer, whether directly or indirectly, 
of nuclear materials and equipment or sensitive nuclear technology, 
including items and assistance authorized by section 57 b. of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and regulated under part 810 of title 10, 
Code of Federal Regulations, and nuclear-related items on the Commerce 
Control List maintained under part 774 of title 15 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, to any country whose government has been 
identified by the Secretary of State as engaged in state sponsorship of 
terrorist activities (specifically including any country the government 
of which has been determined by the Secretary of State under section 
620A(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2371(a)), 
section 6(j)(1) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C.

U.S.C. 2780(d)) to have repeatedly provided support for acts of 
international terrorism).
    (b) This section shall not apply to exports, reexports, transfers, 
or retransfers of radiation monitoring technologies, surveillance 
equipment, seals, cameras, tamper-indication devices, nuclear 
detectors, monitoring systems, or equipment necessary to safely store, 
transport, or remove hazardous materials, whether such items, services,

Department of Commerce, or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, except to 
the extent that such technologies, equipment, seals, cameras, devices, 
detectors, or systems are available for use in the design or 
construction of nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons.
    (c) The President may waive the application of subsection (a) to a 
country if the President determines and certifies to Congress that the 
waiver will not result in any increased risk that the country receiving 
the waiver will acquire nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, or any 
materials or components of nuclear weapons and--
            (1) the government of such country has not within the 
        preceding 12-month period willfully aided or abetted the 
        international proliferation of nuclear explosive devices to 
        individuals or groups or willfully aided and abetted an 
        individual or groups in acquiring unsafeguarded nuclear 
        materials;
            (2) in the judgment of the President, the government of 
        such country has provided adequate, verifiable assurances that 
        it will cease its support for acts of international terrorism;
            (3) the waiver of that subsection is in the vital national 
        security interest of the United States; or
            (4) such a waiver is essential to prevent or respond to a 
        serious radiological hazard in the country receiving the waiver 
        that may or does threaten public health and safety.
    (d) This section shall apply with respect to exports that have been 
approved for transfer as of the date of the enactment of this Act but 
have not yet been transferred as of that date.
