PROVISIONS RELATING ONLY TO FOSSIL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
SEC. 103. Funds appropriated pursuant to this Act for "Operating expenses" for fossil energy purposes may be used for (1) any facilities which may be required at locations, other than installations of the Administration, for the performance of research and development contracts, and (2) grants to any organization for purchase or construction of research facilities. No such funds shall be used for the Limitation, acquisition of land. Fee title to all such facilities shall be vested in the United States, unless the Administrator determines in writing that the programs of research and development authorized by this Act shall best be implemented by vesting fee title in any entity other than the United States: Provided, That, before approving the vesting of Determination, title in such entity the Administrator shall (A) transmit such deter- transmittal to mination, together with all pertinent data, to the Committee on Sci- congressional ence and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Com- committees. mittee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate, and (B) wait Notice. a period of thirty calendar days (not including any day in which either House of Congress is not in session because of adjournment of more than three calendar days to a day certain), unless prior to the expiration of such period each such committee has transmitted to the Administrator written notice to the effect that such committee has no objection to the proposed action.
