<DELETED>    Sec. 301. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any other 
appropriations 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 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.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (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 competitively a new

complete a contract that will not be renewed.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) In this section:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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

        a procedure that solicits a proposal from only one 
        source.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (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

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)

                   (transfers of unexpended balances)

    Sec. 304. 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. 305. 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

reimbursable basis, unless the Administrator certifies in advance that 
such services are not available from private sector businesses.
    Sec. 306. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any other 
appropriations 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 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 2 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

        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.

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. 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)
