Sec. 2701. Congressional findings and purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) The Congress finds that -

(1) existing automobile propulsion systems, on the average,

fall short of meeting the long-term goals of the Nation with

respect to environmental protection, and energy conservation;

(2) advanced alternatives to existing automobile propulsion

systems could, with sufficient research and development effort,

meet these long-term goals, and have the potential to be mass

produced at reasonable cost; and advanced automobile propulsion

systems could operate with significantly less adverse

environmental impact and fuel consumption than existing

automobiles, while meeting all of the other requirements of

Federal law;

(3) insufficient resources are being devoted to both research

on and development of advanced automobile propulsion system

technology;

(4) an expanded research and development effort with respect to

advance automobile propulsion system technology would complement

and stimulate corresponding efforts by the private sector and

would encourage automobile manufacturers to consider seriously

the incorporation of such advanced technology into automobiles

and automobile components; and

(5) the Nation's energy and environmental problems are urgent,

and therefore advanced automobile propulsion system technology

should be developed, tested, demonstrated, and prepared for

manufacture within the shortest practicable time.

(b) It is therefore the purpose of the Congress, in this chapter

to -

(1)(A) direct the Department of Energy to make contracts and

grants for research and development leading to the development of

advanced automobile propulsion systems within 5 years of February

25, 1978, or within the shortest practicable time consistent with

appropriate research and development techniques, and (B) evaluate

and disseminate information with respect to advanced automobile

propulsion system technology;

(2) preserve, enhance, and facilitate competition in research,

development, and production with respect to existing and

alternative automobile propulsion systems; and

(3) supplement, but neither supplant nor duplicate, the

automotive propulsion system research and development efforts of

private industry.

Sec. 2703. Advanced systems program implementation by Secretary of

Energy

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment and conduct of program

The Secretary of Energy shall establish, within the Department of

Energy, a program to insure the development of advanced automobile

propulsion systems within 5 years after February 25, 1978, or

within the shortest practicable time, consistent with appropriate

research and development technique. In conducting such program,

the Secretary of Energy shall -

(1) establish and conduct new projects and accelerate existing

projects which may contribute to the development of advanced

automobile propulsion systems;

(2) give priority attention to the development of advanced

propulsion systems with appropriate attention to those advanced

propulsion systems which are flexible in the type of fuel used;

and

(3) insure that research and development under this chapter

supplements, but neither supplants nor duplicates, the automotive

research and development efforts of private industry.

(b) Contracts and grants with Federal agencies, laboratories, etc.

The Secretary of Energy shall, in fulfilling his responsibilities

under this chapter, make contracts and grants with any Federal

agency, laboratory, university, nonprofit organization, industrial

organization, public or private agency, institution, organization,

corporation, partnership, or individual for research and

development leading to advanced automobile propulsion systems which

are likely to help meet the Nation's long-term goals with respect

to fuel economy, environmental protection, and other objectives.

(c) Federal laboratories; priority for financial assistance;

functions

In providing financial assistance under this chapter, the

Secretary of Energy shall give full consideration to the

capabilities of Federal laboratories, except that not more than 60

per centum of the funds appropriated pursuant to the authorization

under section 2710 of this title shall be directly expended in

Federal laboratories. In accordance with section 2706 of this

title, such laboratories shall be available for testing components

and subsystems which, in the Secretary of Energy's judgment, is

likely to contribute to the development of advanced automobile

propulsion systems.

(d) Evaluations, testing, information dissemination, and reporting

functions

The Secretary of Energy shall conduct evaluations, arrange for

tests, and disseminate information pursuant to section 2706 of this

title and submit reports required under section 2709 of this title.

(e) Intensification of research in basic areas by Department of

Energy

The Department of Energy shall intensify research in key basic

science areas in which the lack of knowledge limits development of

advanced automobile propulsion systems.

(f) Program provisions and requirements; administrative and

judicial procedures applicable to contracts, grants, or

projects; additional information for reports and budget

submissions; nonretroactivity of provisions and requirements

(1) The Secretary of Energy shall insure that the conduct of the

program as defined in subsection (a) of this section -

(A) supplements the automotive propulsion system research and

development efforts of industry;

(B) is not formulated in a manner that will supplant private

industry research and development or displace or lessen

industry's research and development; and

(C) avoids duplication of private research and development.

(2) To that end, the Secretary of Energy shall issue

administrative regulations, within 60 days after February 25, 1978,

which shall specify procedures, standards, and criteria for the

timely review for compliance of each new contract, grant,

Department of Energy project, or other agency project funded or to

be funded under the authority of this Act. Such regulations shall

require that the Secretary of Energy or his designee shall certify

that each such contract, grant, or project satisfies the

requirement of this subsection, and shall include in such

certification a discussion of the relationship of any related or

comparable industry research and development, in terms of this

subsection, to the proposed research and development under the

authority of this Act. The discussion shall also address related

issues, such as cost sharing and patent rights.

(3) Such certifications shall be available to the Committee on

Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and

the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The

provisions of chapter 5 of title 5 shall not apply to such

certifications and no court shall have any jurisdiction to review

the preparation or adequacy of such certifications; but section 553

of title 5 and section 5916 of title 42 shall apply to public

disclosure of such certifications.

(4) The Secretary of Energy also shall include in the report

required by section 2709(a) of this title a detailed discussion of

how each research and development contract, grant, or project

funded under the authority of this Act satisfies the requirement of

this subsection.

(5) Further, the Secretary of Energy in each annual budget

submission to the Congress, or amendment thereto, for the programs

authorized by this Act shall describe how each identified research

and development effort in such submission satisfies the

requirements of this subsection.

(6) The provisions and requirements of this subsection shall not

apply with respect to any contract, grant, or project which was

entered into, made, or formally approved and initiated prior to

February 25, 1978, or with respect to any renewal or extension

thereof.
