     this Act for severance payments and other benefits and 
     community assistance grants under section 4604 of the Atomic 
     Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2704) unless the Department of

     that covers employees of the Department of Energy.
       Sec. 303.  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

     originally enacted.
       Sec. 304.  None of the funds in this or any other Act for 
     the Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration may

     the House of Representatives at least 3 full business days in 
     advance of making such an award or issuing such a letter: 
     Provided, That if the Secretary of the Department of Energy 
     determines that compliance with this section would pose a 
     substantial risk to human life, health, or safety, an award 
     may be made without notification and the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     shall be notified not later than 5 full business days after 
     such an award is made or letter issued.

     reimburse the costs of defined benefit pension plans for 
     contractor employees, the Secretary may transfer not more 
     than 1 percent from each appropriation made available in this 
     and subsequent Energy and Water Development Appropriation 
     Acts to any other appropriation available to the Secretary in 
     the same Act for such reimbursements.
       (b) Where the Secretary recovers the costs of defined 
     benefit pension plans for contractor employees through 
     charges for the indirect costs of research and activities at 
     facilities of the Department of Energy, if the indirect costs 
     attributable to defined benefit pension plan costs in a 
     fiscal year are more than charges in fiscal year 2008, the 
     Secretary shall carry out a transfer of funds under this 
     section.
       (c) In carrying out a transfer under this section, the 
     Secretary shall use each appropriation made available to the 
     Department in that fiscal year as a source for the transfer, 
     and shall reduce each appropriation by an equal percentage, 
     except that appropriations for which the Secretary determines 
     there exists a need for additional funds for pension plan 
     costs in that fiscal year, as well as appropriations made 
     available for the Power Marketing Administrations, the title 
     XVII loan guarantee program, and the Federal Energy 
     Regulatory Commission, shall not be subject to this 
     requirement.
       (d) Each January, the Secretary shall report to the 
     Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
     and the Senate on the state of defined benefit pension plan 
     liabilities in the Department for the preceding year.
       (e) This transfer authority does not apply to supplemental 
     appropriations, and is in addition to any other transfer 
     authority provided in this or any other Act. The authority
