submitted 40 years ago by Pub. L. 99-500 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 290 words · no verdicts yet
Defense may place work with a federally funded research and development center only within its sponsoring agreement's scope, subject to an applied-research exception. New centers require a report and a 60-day period, and the Secretary must report each center's workload.
(a) Unless subsection (b) applies, the Secretary may not place work with a federally funded research and development center unless the work fits the center's purpose, mission, and general scope in the Defense sponsoring agreement. (b) This section does not apply to a center conducting applied scientific research under laboratory conditions. (c)(1) An agency head may not use Defense appropriations to operate a federally funded research center that did not exist before June 2, 1986, until the agency head (A) reports to Congress describing its purpose, mission, and general scope and (B) waits 60 days after Congress receives the report. (2) “Head of an agency” has the meaning in section 3004. This section does not define it. (d) After each fiscal year and by January 1 of the next year, the Secretary must report to the Senate and House Armed Services and Appropriations Committees the actual obligations and actual person-years spent at each center during that fiscal year.
Except as provided in subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense may not place work with a federally funded research and development center unless such work is within the purpose, mission, and general scope of effort of such center as established in the sponsoring agreement of the Department of Defense with such center.
This section does not apply to a federally funded research and development center that performs applied scientific research under laboratory conditions.
The head of an agency may not obligate or expend amounts appropriated to the Department of Defense for purposes of operating a federally funded research center that was not in existence before June 2, 1986, until—
the head of the agency submits to Congress a report with respect to such center that describes the purpose, mission, and general scope of effort of the center; and
a period of 60 days beginning on the date such report is received by Congress has elapsed.
In this subsection, the term “head of an agency” has the meaning given such term in section 3004 of this title.
After the close of a fiscal year, and not later than January 1 of the next year, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report setting forth the actual obligations and the actual man-years of effort expended at each federally funded research and development center during that fiscal year.
