The Secretary must take over the Rifle, Colorado, experimental facility built on the naval oil shale reserves. With the President's approval, the Secretary must encourage its use for research and testing, including mining oil shale after consulting Congress's Armed Services Committees. This section doesn't allow the government to commercially compete with private industry.

(a) The Secretary must take possession of the experimental demonstration facility near Rifle, Colorado. The Department of the Interior built and ran this facility, on or near the naval oil shale reserves, under the Act of April 5, 1944 (30 U.S.C. 321 and following). (b) With the President's approval, the Secretary must encourage the use of this facility — by contract, lease, or other means — for research, development, testing, evaluation, and demonstration work. To do this, the Secretary may use the facility directly, or lease it for use by public or private institutions, organizations, or individuals, and may build, install, and run additional experimental facilities on the same land, or lease them out for others to run. After consulting the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, the Secretary may mine and remove — or let others mine and remove — oil shale or its products from the naval oil shale reserves, if needed for this experimental work. (c) Nothing in this chapter allows: (1) the government to commercially develop and run the naval oil shale reserves in competition with private industry; or (2) any reduction in the Secretary's responsibility to provide oil shale and its products for national defense needs.
