                <DELETED>DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Sec. 301. Contract Competition.--(a)(1) None of the funds 
in this or any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2007 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 
contract, to provide continuity of service between contracts, or to 
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 
        operation of Ames Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and 
        Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</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 
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.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    Sec. 302. Workforce Restructuring.--None of the funds 
appropriated by this Act may be used to--</DELETED>

committees.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    Sec. 304. Unfunded Requests for Proposals.--None of the 
funds appropriated by this Act may be used to prepare or initiate 
Requests For Proposals (RFPs) or other solicitations for a program if 
the program has not been funded by Congress.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    Sec. 305. Unexpended Balances.--The unexpended balances of 
prior appropriations provided for activities in this Act may be

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

                GENERAL PROVISIONS, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

    Sec. 301. Contract Competition. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or 
any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2007 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 
        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. Workforce Restructuring. None of the funds appropriated 
by this Act may be used to--
            (1) develop or implement a workforce restructuring plan

        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. Section 3161 Assistance. 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 reprogramming request 
to the appropriate congressional committees.
    Sec. 304. Unfunded Requests for Proposals. 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. Unexpend Balances. 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. Bonneville Power Authority Service Territory. 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,
