Federal Research
Information on DOE's Laboratory-Directed R&D Program
Gao ID: GAO-04-489 April 30, 2004
The Department of Energy's (DOE) contractor-operated laboratories perform mission-related research and development (R&D) for DOE and other federal agencies. In 1992, DOE established the Laboratory- Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program, under which laboratory directors may allocate funding to scientists to conduct worthy independent research. DOE allows participating laboratories to support their LDRD programs by including a charge of up to 6 percent of the total project cost in the indirect costs for R&D performed for DOE and other federal agencies. GAO was asked to address 11 specific questions on DOE's LDRD program regarding: DOE's statutory authority for charging other federal agencies for LDRD, DOE's policies and procedures for ensuring departmental compliance with statutory requirements and committee report direction, the extent to which DOE believes the LDRD program is a necessary tool for recruiting and retaining laboratory scientists, and the sources and amounts of LDRD funding that each laboratory received from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003. In commenting on the draft report, DOE agreed with its factual accuracy.
By law, when DOE conducts R&D for other federal agencies and uses a laboratory contractor to carry out the tasks, DOE must recover from the other agency all costs, including LDRD, DOE owes its contractor in performing the work. DOE has issued a departmental order and clarifying memoranda and guidance to ensure LDRD program compliance with statutory requirements and congressional direction. For example, the Secretary of Energy's April 2002 guidance requires that agencies funding work at its laboratories be notified about the LDRD program, including the laboratory's indirect-cost rate and an estimate of the associated cost. According to senior budget, legal, and research program officials at six federal agencies that fund work at the DOE laboratories, inclusion of funding for the LDRD program as an indirect cost does not limit their agency's ability to comply with statutory or appropriations requirements. Managers at the four DOE laboratories that primarily conduct nuclear weapons and environmental management R&D told us that LDRD is vital for recruiting and retaining top scientists, while managers at the five Office of Science laboratories said that LDRD plays an important, but less vital, role in recruiting and retaining top scientists. From fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003, DOE's contractor-operated laboratories spent a total of $1.8 billion, or an average of $296 million per year, on LDRD. DOE accounted for 84 percent and the Department of Defense and the intelligence agencies, through their payments to DOE, accounted for 12 percent of the federal support for the LDRD program in fiscal year 2003.

Highlights of GAO-04-489, a report to the Subcommittee on Energy and
Water Development, Committee on Appropriations, House of
Representatives
Why GAO Did This Study:
The Department of Energy‘s (DOE) contractor-operated laboratories
perform mission-related research and development (R&D) for DOE and
other federal agencies. In 1992, DOE established the Laboratory-
Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program, under which
laboratory directors may allocate funding to scientists to conduct
worthy independent research. DOE allows participating laboratories to
support their LDRD programs by including a charge of up to 6 percent of
the total project cost in the indirect costs for R&D performed for DOE
and other federal agencies.
GAO was asked to address 11 specific questions on DOE‘s LDRD program
regarding:
* DOE‘s statutory authority for charging other federal agencies for
LDRD,
* DOE‘s policies and procedures for ensuring departmental compliance
with statutory requirements and committee report direction,
* the extent to which DOE believes the LDRD program is a necessary tool
for recruiting and retaining laboratory scientists, and
* the sources and amounts of LDRD funding that each laboratory received
from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003.
In commenting on the draft report, DOE agreed with its factual
accuracy.
What GAO Found:
* By law, when DOE conducts R&D for other federal agencies and uses a
laboratory contractor to carry out the tasks, DOE must recover from the
other agency all costs, including LDRD, DOE owes its contractor in
performing the work.
* DOE has issued a departmental order and clarifying memoranda and
guidance to ensure LDRD program compliance with statutory requirements
and congressional direction. For example, the Secretary of Energy‘s
April 2002 guidance requires that agencies funding work at its
laboratories be notified about the LDRD program, including the
laboratory‘s indirect-cost rate and an estimate of the associated cost.
According to senior budget, legal, and research program officials at
six federal agencies that fund work at the DOE laboratories, inclusion
of funding for the LDRD program as an indirect cost does not limit
their agency‘s ability to comply with statutory or appropriations
requirements.
* Managers at the four DOE laboratories that primarily conduct nuclear
weapons and environmental management R&D told us that LDRD is vital for
recruiting and retaining top scientists, while managers at the five
Office of Science laboratories said that LDRD plays an important, but
less vital, role in recruiting and retaining top scientists.
* From fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003, DOE‘s contractor-
operated laboratories spent a total of $1.8 billion, or an average of
$296 million per year, on LDRD. DOE accounted for 84 percent and the
Department of Defense and the intelligence agencies, through their
payments to DOE, accounted for 12 percent of the federal support for
the LDRD program in fiscal year 2003.

The Honorable David L. Hobson:
Chairman:
The Honorable Peter J. Visclosky:
Ranking Member:
Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development:
Committee on Appropriations:
House of Representatives:
In fiscal year 2003, the Department of Energy's (DOE) contractor-
operated laboratories spent more than $7.9 billion on research and
development (R&D) and other operating expenses that supported the
department's national nuclear security, energy resources,
environmental management, and science programs. To foster scientific
excellence at these laboratories, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and other laws have authorized DOE laboratories to use a
reasonable amount of laboratory funds to conduct employee-suggested R&D
projects selected at the discretion of the laboratory
directors.[Footnote 1] Subsequently, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 authorized the contractor-
operated laboratories that receive funding for national security
programs to perform laboratory-directed R&D of a creative and
innovative nature to maintain the vitality of the laboratories'
defense-related scientific disciplines.
In fiscal year 1992, DOE formalized its laboratories' self-initiated
R&D programs by establishing the Laboratory-Directed Research and
Development (LDRD) program. Under this program DOE's contractor-
operated laboratories may fund their LDRD programs by including up to 6
percent of an R&D project's total cost in its indirect cost of doing
the work for DOE, other federal agencies, and nonfederal organizations.
Total funding support for the LDRD program grew from $223 million in
fiscal year 1992 to $356 million in fiscal year 2003.[Footnote 2]
Table 1 shows the nine contractor-operated laboratories that
participated in DOE's LDRD program in fiscal year 2003. These
laboratories include three within the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) that primarily conduct R&D for the nuclear
weapons program, five within DOE's Office of Science that primarily
perform basic research, and one within the Office of Nuclear Energy,
Science, and Technology that primarily performs research for the
environmental management program. DOE's appropriations are the source
of more than 80 percent of the LDRD funding each year; the remaining
funds are reimbursements to DOE that are paid out of appropriations of
other federal agencies, or private organizations, to cover the costs
DOE incurred in performing work for these entities, primarily through
DOE's Work for Others program.

[End of table]
The nine DOE laboratories select LDRD projects on their scientific and
technical merits without regard to funding origin, provided that the
projects will support DOE's national security mission. DOE requires
that LDRD projects focus on the advanced study of scientific or
technical problems, experiments directed toward proving a scientific
principle, or early analysis of experimental facilities or devices. For
example, scientific knowledge gained from Sandia's LDRD project that
created crystalline silicotitanate, a material capable of separating
highly radioactive cesium from other wastes, led to the development of
new technology that could substantially reduce the costs of cleaning up
radioactive waste at DOE's Hanford site. Similarly, Lawrence Berkeley's
LDRD project on advanced neutron generation has aided in the
development of a portable neutron generating device that can be used
for detecting explosives and nuclear materials that could be hidden in
different types of containers. This device could eventually be used to
screen luggage at airports or steel shipping containers at port
facilities.
Generally, scientists at each laboratory independently propose projects
that peer review panels and laboratory managers prioritize on the basis
of their assessment of potential scientific and technical merit and
potential strategic impact. The laboratory directors use these
assessments to make their selections. In accordance with DOE policy,
the selected LDRD projects are reviewed and approved by DOE. In
general, projects cost from $100,000 to $300,000 and last 2 to 3 years.
This report addresses the 11 specific questions that you asked us on
DOE's LDRD program. To answer these questions, we examined the
authorizing legislation, DOE's order and memoranda implementing the
LDRD program, LDRD program documents, and financial data for each of
the nine contractor-operated laboratories that participate in the LDRD
program. We also interviewed cognizant officials at DOE and its nine
laboratories. In addition, we interviewed officials at the Departments
of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Transportation (DOT);
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), within the Department of Health and Human
Services; and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Through their
payments to DOE, these federal agencies were among the primary sources
of LDRD funding generated from R&D performed for non-DOE agencies from
fiscal years 1998 through 2003. We conducted our review from July 2003
through March 2004 in accordance with generally accepted government
auditing standards.
Questions Posed by the Subcommittee and GAO's Responses:
Question 1: Does DOE have statutory authority that specifically
authorizes it to spend the funds appropriated to other federal agencies
and use those funds for LDRD?
GAO Response:
The Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1999 authorizes DOE to conduct R&D at DOE facilities for "other
departments and agencies of the government . . ."[Footnote 3] The act
requires that when DOE conducts R&D for other agencies, it impose a
charge to recover its costs of conducting the work.[Footnote 4] The
charge must include both direct costs that DOE incurs in carrying out
the work and all associated overhead costs.[Footnote 5] When DOE
assesses the charge to recover its costs, the ordering agency transfers
amounts from its appropriation to DOE to pay the assessed charge.
An interagency transaction, like that authorized by section 7259a, is
not unlike a contractual transaction. Because of a statutory
prohibition on transferring funds between two appropriations, federal
agencies require specific statutory authority, like section 7259a, to
engage in interagency transactions. In other words, federal agencies
require statutory authority to contract with each other. Section 7259a
permits other federal agencies to contract with DOE for R&D. When other
agencies transfer amounts to DOE to pay the charge that DOE assesses
under section 7259a, and DOE uses those amounts to defray the costs it
incurred in carrying out the work for the other agency, DOE is not
"spending" funds appropriated to another agency any more than a private
vendor with whom the agency had contracted for services "spends"
federal appropriations when it uses amounts received in payment from
the federal agency to defray its costs of doing business. As in a
contractual transaction, when a federal agency transfers amounts to DOE
in payment of the section 7259a charge, the funds transferred become
DOE funds and are available for the same purposes and uses as the other
amounts in the DOE appropriation account to which they are credited.
When DOE agrees to carry out R&D for another agency and conducts the
work in one of its laboratories, DOE asks the contractor who operates
its laboratory to undertake the R&D tasks. In that case, the cost to
DOE of having its contractor conduct these tasks is a direct cost that
DOE is required by section 7259a to include in the charge that it
assesses the other agency.[Footnote 6] The other agency is not paying
DOE's contractor; in fact, the other agency has no legal relationship
with DOE's contractor.
The amount DOE owes its contractor for this work is determined by the
terms of the contract that DOE has with its contractor. Included in the
amounts DOE pays its contractor is an amount for LDRD. The National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 requires DOE to pay its
laboratory contractors an amount for LDRD, not to exceed 6 percent of
the amount that DOE pays to the contractor for national security
activities.[Footnote 7]
Consequently, DOE is not "using" funds appropriated to other federal
agencies for LDRD. LDRD is a cost that DOE incurs, both statutorily and
contractually, whenever the laboratory's contractor performs work for
DOE. When another agency asks DOE to conduct R&D on its behalf, and
DOE, in performing that work incurs an LDRD cost, DOE, under section
7259a, properly includes that cost in calculating what it will charge
the ordering agency. Just as a private vendor factors its costs of
doing business into the price it charges for services rendered, DOE,
under section 7259a, must factor its costs of doing business, including
LDRD, into the amount it charges other agencies. That DOE might use
monies properly transferred from another agency to defray the LDRD
amount it owes its laboratory contractor does not mean that DOE is
"using" another agency's funds for LDRD any more than a private vendor
is using a federal agency's appropriation when it applies amounts paid
by a federal agency for services rendered to defray its costs of doing
business.
Question 2: Congressional appropriations laws must comply with defense
and domestic firewalls in Senate budget resolutions adopted by
Congress. What mechanism has DOE had in place to ensure that funds
appropriated for defense purposes are used only for defense activities
and that funds appropriated for domestic purposes are used only for
activities in support of those domestic agencies? This question applies
to both LDRD conducted with DOE funds and LDRD conducted with funds
received from other federal agencies.
GAO Response:
As discussed in our response to question 1, DOE's funds support the
LDRD programs at participating DOE contractor-operated laboratories--
not the appropriations of other agencies. Under the terms of the
agreement when another federal agency asks DOE to perform work on its
behalf, the agency agrees to reimburse DOE all costs that DOE incurs in
performing the work.
In funding and carrying out LDRD, DOE and the laboratories must comply
with statutory requirements imposed on them. For example, DOE and its
contractor-operated laboratories are required to comply with the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998,[Footnote 8]
which requires that when DOE uses its appropriation for nuclear weapons
activities to pay for LDRD, the LDRD must support projects in DOE's
national security mission and when DOE uses its environmental
restoration, waste management, or nuclear materials and facilities
stabilization appropriation to pay for LDRD, the LDRD must support
projects in these mission areas. In addition, the Homeland Security Act
of 2002 specifically directs that when DHS orders work from DOE's
laboratories, the laboratories must use the associated LDRD funds only
for purposes that benefit DHS missions.[Footnote 9]
Officials at each of the laboratories we visited told us that, because
LDRD promotes cutting-edge science and technology, much of the R&D
conducted is basic research that, by definition, can result in
applications that benefit both defense and civilian agencies. Thus,
projects proposed with the intention of supporting a defense mission
may lead to cross-cutting applications that benefit Homeland Security
or other civilian agencies. Specifically, officials at DOE's weapons
laboratories cited examples in sensor research for identifying traces
of radiological and biological agents that had benefited both the
nuclear nonproliferation and homeland security missions. They also
mentioned LDRD projects that had applications for the NIH's cancer
research programs, as well as DHS and DOE.
Question 3: Which federal agencies, in addition to DOE, have a similar
process whereby up to 6 percent of funds appropriated to the agency (or
any other federal agency) may be diverted to purposes other than those
for which the Congress appropriated the funds?
GAO Response:
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, operated by the California Institute
of Technology, is the only federal laboratory we identified that
includes an assessment on the work performed for other federal agencies
to support a laboratory-directed R&D program. In fiscal year 2003, the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory Director's R&D Fund received about $91,000
through an assessment of .025 percent on all projects over $250,000
performed for other federal agencies--primarily DOD. The Director's R&D
Fund also received $3.5 million from NASA's research directorates that
was pro rated on the basis of their expected R&D funding at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. Similar to DOE's LDRD program, the Director's
R&D Fund is designed to promote innovative science and new technology.
The fund also encourages collaborative work with the California
Institute of Technology, other universities, other federal
laboratories, and industry. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's director
awards funding to research projects on the basis of peer review of
their scientific merits.
The Air Force's Lincoln Laboratory, operated by the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, has a Directed Defense Research and
Engineering program. However, unlike LDRD, the Defense budget provides
the Directed Defense Research and Engineering program with about $25
million annually through a direct appropriation from the Congress--
Lincoln does not include an assessment in its indirect-cost rate to
finance its program.[Footnote 10] Similar to DOE's LDRD program,
Lincoln Laboratory's director awards funding to research projects on
the basis of peer review of their scientific merits. The Army and the
Navy also reported that their In-house Laboratory Independent Research
program is fully funded by their appropriations.
NRC's Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses, operated by the
Southwest Research Institute, also has a small self-initiated research
program. However, NRC's center does not receive funding support from
other federal agencies.
Question 4: What mechanisms has DOE had in place to ensure that the
department fully complies with all statutory and report language in
appropriations bills for itself and other federal agencies when DOE
spends funds on their behalf?
GAO Response:
DOE has issued a departmental order for the LDRD program and clarifying
memoranda and guidance to ensure departmental compliance with statutory
requirements and congressional direction in committee reports. These
include the following:
* The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991
established an annual 6-percent funding limit on LDRD. Subsequently,
DOE's Order 413.2A established departmental requirements for the LDRD
program, and each laboratory establishes a fixed rate for the LDRD
assessment each year that ensures compliance with the 6-percent funding
limit. DOE officials told us that the department does not need to link
the LDRD funding from non-DOE sources to specific LDRD projects because
it treats LDRD as an indirect cost that, under cost accounting
standards, must be pooled with other LDRD funds and not tracked back to
a specific funding source. The DOE officials added that LDRD costs are
charged to all laboratory customers at the same rate and are considered
a normal cost of doing business.
* The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 limited
the use of LDRD funds (1) originating from nuclear weapons funding to
LDRD projects that support DOE's national security mission and (2)
originating from environmental restoration, waste management, or
nuclear materials and facilities stabilization for LDRD projects that
support these missions. DOE and laboratory LDRD managers told us that
they have achieved the act's funding requirements through (1) the
identification of areas of emphasis that are likely to benefit DOE's
national security and environmental management missions in each
laboratory's annual LDRD program plan and its calls for proposals and
(2) the laboratory's LDRD manager's and DOE site office's review of
proposals recommended for funding.
* The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 also
required that DOE report to the Congress on the extent to which the
LDRD Program has met the objective of supporting R&D with long-term
application to national security. DOE's most recent report to the
Congress stated that, in fiscal year 2003, the laboratories spent about
$356 million for LDRD, of which defense customers, through
reimbursement to DOE, provided $243 million and nondefense customers,
through reimbursement to DOE, provided $113 million.[Footnote 11] DOE
concluded that about $268 million of the LDRD funding supported
projects expected to benefit the defense and national security missions
and about $283 million of the LDRD funding supported projects expected
to benefit the nondefense mission areas.
* The Conference Report accompanying the Energy and Water Development
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002 directs that (1) when accepting
funds from another federal agency for work, DOE notify the agency in
writing how much will be used for LDRD and (2) the Secretary of Energy
affirm each year that all LDRD projects support R&D that benefits the
sponsoring agencies' programs and are consistent with their
appropriations acts.[Footnote 12] On April 30, 2002, the Secretary of
Energy issued a memorandum to the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security
and the Under Secretary for Energy, Science and Environment that
provided guidance directing that all DOE agreements to perform R&D for
other federal agencies provide notice about each participating
laboratory's LDRD program, including (1) the applicable indirect-cost
rate, (2) an estimate of the associated cost, and (3) an explanation of
the LDRD program's purpose. Furthermore, each agreement to perform work
states that DOE will conclude that, by approving the agreement and
providing funds, the agency acknowledges that LDRD benefits the agency
and is consistent with its appropriation requirements.[Footnote 13] DOE
officials told us that the DOE site office responsible for the
laboratory typically sends this notification to the program manager or
contracting officer at the sponsoring agency.
* The Homeland Security Act of 2002 requires that DHS funds are not to
be expended for LDRD unless such activities support DHS missions. On
February 28, 2003, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of
Homeland Security entered into a Memorandum of Agreement that
establishes a framework for DHS to access the capabilities of DOE's
national laboratories and production facilities. On April 21, 2003,
DOE's Deputy Secretary issued DOE Notice 481.1A, Reimbursable Work for
Department of Homeland Security, which provided information on the
process by which DHS would place orders for reimbursable work
activities at the DOE laboratories. The DOE notice includes provisions
that DOE notify DHS of LDRD charges in the cost proposals and that DHS
acknowledge the benefits of LDRD prior to final approval. DHS has set
up centers at each of the DOE laboratories to facilitate its access,
and DOE and DHS are still formalizing their working relationship.
Question 5: To what extent does the leadership of federal agencies that
give funds to DOE for its laboratories to conduct R&D on their behalf
fully understand that up to 6 percent of the funds may be diverted
under DOE's LDRD program to purposes that have nothing to do with the
purpose for which the Congress originally appropriated the funds?
Please detail the written notifications that DOE has issued in response
to the requirement in the Conference Report for the Energy and Water
Development Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002 that DOE notify
federal agencies in writing how much of their funds may be diverted to
LDRD.
GAO Response:
Senior officials at each of the six federal agencies we contacted
stated that their offices were aware that the DOE laboratories included
a charge of up to 6 percent for LDRD in the costs they are required to
reimburse DOE. Specifically, the senior officials in the Office of the
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and/or the Office of General Counsel at
each agency told us that the LDRD program's inclusion as an indirect
cost does not limit their ability to comply with their agency's
statutory or appropriations requirements. Similarly, none of the
research managers and/or contracting officers at these agencies
expressed concern about the LDRD program or its funding
method.[Footnote 14]
In December 2003, at the direction in the Conference Report
accompanying the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act for
Fiscal Year 2002, DOE sent the CFOs of 22 agencies information about
the LDRD program and its inclusion in the indirect costs for R&D
performed at DOE laboratories. Specifically, DOE provided each CFO
office, with the exception of DHS, with a copy of the Secretary of
Energy's April 2002 memorandum, an explanation of how the LDRD program
is funded, and a description of DOE's notification process.[Footnote
15] However, DOE did not identify a point of contact within each
agency's Office of the CFO or provide the CFO's room number, and senior
officials in the CFO's office at Transportation and NRC told us that
they did not receive DOE's information even though they were the
appropriate point of contact. These officials commented on the LDRD
program after we provided them with copies of the DOE materials.
Similarly, research managers and/or contracting officers responsible
for funding R&D at DOE's contractor-operated laboratories for DOD, DHS,
DOT, NASA, NIH, and NRC had differing levels of knowledge about how the
LDRD program functioned and how it is funded. For example, the DOD,
DHS, and NASA research managers we interviewed had detailed knowledge
of the LDRD program. In contrast, research managers at DOT were less
familiar with the LDRD program and how it is funded. They told us that
this was mainly because the department funds relatively little R&D at
the DOE laboratories and the decisions to use the DOE laboratories are
made by the departmental agencies.
Question 6: Please identify any instances when another federal agency
has refused to pay the LDRD charge assessed by the DOE laboratories on
work for other agencies, as well as any instances when the DOE
laboratories have voluntarily waived assessment of the LDRD charge on
funds received from another federal agency.
GAO Response:
None of the officials at the six agencies we contacted cited any
instances when their agencies have refused to reimburse DOE for the
LDRD charge or expressed concern about the LDRD expense. In June 1998,
DOE and NIH signed a Memorandum of Understanding that clarified the
terms and conditions of NIH grants awarded to DOE
laboratories.[Footnote 16] Among other things, the Memorandum of
Understanding states that (1) the DOE laboratory contractor may be the
awardee organization, (2) DOE will waive its 3-percent administrative
overhead rate, and (3) while NIH awards will not include an allowance
for LDRD, the DOE laboratories may recover LDRD costs from the total
funding included in grants awarded to DOE laboratory contractors.
Cognizant officials at DOE and its laboratories told us that they are
not aware of any instances in which a federal customer has objected to
or stated that they would not reimburse DOE for the LDRD charge. The
officials also did not identify any instances in which the DOE
laboratories had not charged DOE for the LDRD portion of the work done
on another agency's behalf--either voluntarily or involuntarily.
Managers at each of the nine DOE laboratories told us that their policy
is to use the same indirect cost rate for all R&D and other operations
performed at the laboratory.
Question 7: On April 30, 2002, the Secretary of Energy issued revised
LDRD guidance in response to direction provided in the Conference
Report for the Energy and Water Development Appropriations for Fiscal
Year 2002. Subsequently, DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) and Office of Science issued more detailed guidance to their
respective laboratories. What is the status of implementing the changes
to the LDRD approval and reporting process as outlined in this
guidance? Do these new procedures constitute a firewall between LDRD
using defense appropriations and LDRD using nondefense appropriations,
as some in DOE have claimed?
GAO Response:
DOE has implemented changes to the LDRD approval and reporting process
as outlined in the Secretary's memorandum and the NNSA and Office of
Science guidance. These changes include having a DOE official review
and concur on all LDRD projects prior to approval by laboratory
directors and requiring DOE field officials associated with each
laboratory to certify annually that LDRD projects benefit the programs
of the sponsoring agencies. When approving these projects, DOE does not
distinguish whether the projects benefit defense or nondefense
activities because, in its view, LDRD projects are new concepts that
may benefit more than one area and therefore cannot be categorized in
this manner. DOE officials' role in approving proposed LDRD projects is
to ensure that the projects support DOE's national security mission.
However, as stated earlier, DOE's annual report identifies the amounts
of LDRD funding it receives from defense and nondefense sponsors and
the amounts of LDRD funding that support projects expected to have
primary benefit to defense or nondefense mission areas.
Question 8: Are the laboratories supplementing their funds for LDRD
with funds designated for the Strategic Initiative?
GAO Response:
None of the nine DOE laboratories has been supplementing funding for
LDRD programs with other laboratory funds, such as Idaho National
Engineering and Environmental Laboratory's (INEEL) Strategic
Initiative, according to officials of DOE's Office of Inspector
General; Office of Management Budget and Evaluation; Office of Science;
NNSA; Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology; and the nine
laboratories. As stated earlier, DOE's Order 413.2A prohibits DOE's
laboratories from using LDRD funds on projects that will need
additional non-LDRD funding to reach their goals.
A May 2003 DOE Inspector General report cited possible misuse of
INEEL's Strategic Initiative Fund for LDRD projects.[Footnote 17] In
response, DOE's acting CFO conducted a review of the expenditures in
question and determined that no funds were misused and INEEL had not
exceeded its LDRD funding limit. The Inspector General accepted the
CFO's findings.
Question 9: What does DOE do to ensure, in advance, that different
laboratories do not undertake duplicative LDRD projects? What does DOE
do to ensure that LDRD projects are not duplicative of research in
other federal agencies or in universities?
GAO Response:
DOE and its laboratories rely on the scientists, who submit proposals;
members of peer review committees; and laboratory managers to ensure
that LDRD projects do not duplicate research at other laboratories or
universities. According to officials at the four laboratories we
visited, the chances for duplication among LDRD projects are remote for
several reasons. First, the NNSA laboratories (Los Alamos, Lawrence
Livermore, and Sandia) coordinate their work to ensure there is no
duplication. Second, peer review groups consisting of laboratory, DOE,
industry, and university representatives involve themselves in project
management and try to eradicate duplication or other potential wastes
of resources. Third, science is a very competitive field, and
scientists have strong incentives to conduct original research and
publish or present the results of that research. Finally, because basic
science explores fundamental principles, scientists may be looking at
the same issue, for example, techniques for sensing ever smaller
amounts of an element, but for different reasons or with different
approaches. In addition, our September 2001 report concluded that the
LDRD project-selection and review processes that are in place at the
nine DOE laboratories are adequate to reasonably ensure compliance with
DOE's project-selection guidelines.[Footnote 18]
Question 10: To what extent does DOE believe that the LDRD program is
still a necessary tool to recruit and retain scientists?
GAO Response:
Officials at NNSA laboratories told us that LDRD remains a necessary
tool to recruit and retain top scientists because their program work
provides little opportunity for basic scientific research. Similarly,
INEEL officials told us that LDRD plays a major role in attracting and
retaining the most qualified scientists and engineers at their
laboratory. In comparison, officials at Office of Science laboratories
believe that LDRD is important for recruiting and retaining scientists;
however, they noted its role is less essential for their laboratories
because they primarily perform basic research.
NNSA laboratory managers told us that LDRD is an essential tool for
recruiting and retaining scientists for several reasons. As a
recruiting tool, the LDRD program is vital because the mission of the
NNSA laboratories--to perform applied research to develop nuclear
weapons technologies--does not readily attract qualified new hires. The
LDRD program has served as a stepping stone for the NNSA laboratories
to attract and hire many scientists by supporting from nearly one-half
to two-thirds of the post doctoral researchers at the laboratories. For
example, one of the three LDRD program components at Los Alamos
National Laboratory makes awards to research proposals specifically
targeted at post-doctoral candidates. As a result, 262 (61 percent) of
the 427 post-doctoral scientists charged substantial amounts of time to
LDRD. According to NNSA laboratory managers, post-doctoral scientists
who work at their laboratories are more likely to seek permanent
employment at the laboratory, and LDRD projects provide opportunities
for laboratory managers to evaluate the post-doctoral scientists for
future employment. In some cases, the LDRD program also provides
meaningful work opportunities at the NNSA laboratories while newly
hired scientists wait to receive their security clearances. In
addition, the LDRD program provides opportunities for collaboration
with universities and other research organizations, thereby providing a
pipeline for new employees. As a retention tool, LDRD provides
scientists with funding to perform basic and applied research on the
cutting edge of their field, improve their technical skills, and make
scientific contributions in their fields.
INEEL managers told us that the LDRD program funded 55 percent of the
post-doctoral candidates supported by the laboratory in fiscal year
2002. The managers attributed about 40 percent of the scientists and
engineers hired at INEEL in the past 4 years to investments in LDRD.
Managers at the five Office of Science laboratories told us that the
LDRD program is important for their efforts to recruit and retain
scientists. However, they noted that the LDRD program is less important
to their laboratories than it is to the NNSA laboratories, because
their laboratories mainly fund basic research. According to
laboratories managers, it is basic research and the opportunity for
technological advances--whether performed as LDRD or as program work--
that attracts and maintains the interest of the top scientists. As a
result, the Office of Science laboratories typically devote, at most,
slightly over 4 percent of their R&D and other operating funds to LDRD
each year and have substantially smaller LDRD programs than the NNSA
laboratories.
Question 11: How much has each of the nine DOE laboratories spent on
LDRD from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003, and which federal
agencies' funds have been used and in what amounts?
GAO Response:
For the 6 years from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2003, DOE's
nine laboratories spent a total of $1.8 billion, or an average of $296
million per year, on LDRD. In fiscal year 2003, the laboratories
received $7.7 billion from DOE and other federal agencies, through
reimbursement to DOE, and spent $347 million, or 4.5 percent, on LDRD.
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory accounted for $257 million, or
74 percent, of the LDRD funds. DOE, DOD, and the intelligence agencies
have been the primary sources of LDRD funding, accounting for 96
percent of the federal support in fiscal year 2003.
Table 2 shows that the nine laboratories received $7.7 billion from DOE
and other federal agencies for their R&D and other operating expenses
in fiscal year 2003. Specifically, DOE and DOD provided $7.3 billion,
or 96 percent, of the federal funding that the laboratories received.
NIH, NRC, and NASA provided $190 million, or 2.5 percent, of the
funding. DOT and DHS provided only $12.6 million and $9.4 million,
respectively, for work at the DOE laboratories.

Appendix 1 provides data on each laboratory's total R&D spending and

to DOE, for fiscal years 1998 through 2001, and appendix II provides
more detailed data on each laboratory's total R&D spending and LDRD

Agency Comments:
We provided DOE with a draft of this report for its review and comment.
In written comments, DOE agreed with the report. (See app. III.) DOE
also provided comments to improve the report's technical accuracy,
which we incorporated as appropriate.
Scope and Methodology:
To assess DOE's statutory authority for charging other federal agencies
for LDRD, we researched and analyzed statutes and legislative histories
and referred to principles of appropriations law. To identify
laboratory-initiated research programs similar to LDRD at other federal
agencies' laboratories, we interviewed cognizant officials within DOD,
DHS, DOT, NASA, NIH, and NRC. Through their payments to DOE, these
federal agencies were among the primary sources of LDRD funding
generated from R&D performed for non-DOE agencies from fiscal years
1998 through 2003.
To examine DOE's policies and procedures for ensuring that its
laboratories spend LDRD funds in ways that benefit the requesting
agencies' programs and are consistent with their appropriation acts, we
evaluated DOE's implementing order and documents for the LDRD program
and interviewed cognizant officials at DOE and obtained information
from its nine contractor-operated laboratories regarding the actions
they have taken to improve the program's accountability. In addition,
we contacted cognizant officials in the Office of the CFO and/or the
Office of General Counsel in DOD, DOT, NASA, NIH, and NRC to determine
whether the funding structure of the LDRD program presented issues for
their compliance with statutory or appropriations requirements. These
five agencies, through their reimbursements to DOE, were among the
primary sources of LDRD funding at the nine DOE laboratories from
fiscal years 1998 through 2003. We also contacted cognizant officials
in the Office of the CFO and the Science and Technology Directorate in
DHS because of its special relationship with DOE's laboratories.
To assess whether the LDRD program is a necessary tool for recruiting
and retaining laboratory scientists, we obtained information from
cognizant officials at each of DOE's nine laboratories about the role
that LDRD plays in recruiting and retaining scientists and obtained
documentation. We also reviewed laboratories' information on the
participation of post-doctoral scientists and others in LDRD research.
To provide data on the sources and amounts of LDRD funding, we obtained
data from each laboratory on its operating and LDRD funds for fiscal
year 1998 through fiscal year 2003. Specifically, the laboratories
provided financial data for each of DOE's major program budgets and for
each federal agency that, in a given year, funded more than $1 million
in R&D through DOE's Work for Others program. Because the laboratories'
prior fiscal year data were in nominal dollars, we converted their
current dollars to constant fiscal year 2003 dollars using deflators
for nondefense from the Office of Management and Budget's Budget of the
United States Government, Fiscal Year 2005, Historical Tables. We also
obtained from key database officials responses to a series of questions
focused on data reliability covering issues such as data entry access,
quality control procedures, and the accuracy and completeness of the
data. Follow-up questions were added whenever necessary. In addition,
we reviewed all data provided by the laboratories, investigated all
instances where we had questions regarding issues such as categories or
amounts, and made corrections as needed. Based on this work, we
determined that the financial data provided were sufficiently reliable
for the purposes of our report. We did not assess the reliability of
the fiscal year 1992 LDRD funding total, which was used for background
purposes only.
As arranged with your offices, unless you publicly announce its
contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until
30 days after the date of this letter. At that time, we will send
copies to the Secretary of Energy, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, and other interested parties. We will also make
copies available to others on request. In addition, the report will be
available at no charge on the GAO Web site at
[Hyperlink, http://www.gao.gov.].

FOOTNOTES
[1] Among the other laws that DOE cites as general authority for LDRD
are the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, which created the Energy
Research and Development Administration to carry out general basic
research activities; the Energy Research and Development Administration
Appropriation Authorization for Fiscal Year 1977 (codified at 42 U.S.C.
§ 5817a), which provided authority for any government-owned,
contractor-operated laboratory to use a reasonable amount of its
operating budget to fund employee-suggested projects up to the pilot
stage of development; and the Department of Energy Organization Act,
which placed the Energy Research and Development Administration's
authorities under DOE and directed DOE to carry out an energy research
program. See DOE Order 413.2A.

[10] Although Lincoln Laboratory also performs R&D for the Federal
Aviation Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and NASA, funding from these agencies does not support
Lincoln's Directed Defense Research and Engineering program.

organizations.

[13] DOE's pricing policy states: "Consistent with the Department of
Energy's (DOE) full cost recovery policy, DOE collects, as part of its
standard indirect cost rate, a Laboratory Directed Research and
Development (LDRD) cost. Based on the amount of funds accepted for this
project, $___ represents an estimated amount that will be used for LDRD
efforts. The Department of Energy believes that LDRD efforts provide
opportunities in research that are instrumental in maintaining cutting-
edge science capabilities that benefit all of the customers at the
laboratory. The Department will conclude that by providing funds to DOE
to perform work, you acknowledge that such activities are beneficial to
your organization and consistent with appropriations acts that provide
funds to you."
[14] NRC officials did not express concern about the LDRD program and
its funding; however, they suggested that an agency could better
determine whether LDRD benefits its mission if DOE improved its
notification procedure by annually (1) providing a single notification
signed by DOE's CFO and (2) including information about LDRD activities
at those laboratories where the agency funds work.
[15] DOE provided DHS's CFO office with a copy of DOE Notice 481.1A
regarding reimbursable work for DHS that included the February 28,
2003, Memorandum of Agreement between DOE and DHS, explaining how DHS
work will be funded and conducted at DOE's laboratories.
[16] The requirements of the Secretary's April 2002 memorandum
regarding notification to other federal sponsors and their subsequent
certifications that LDRD projects benefit their programs do not apply
to grants performed under the June 1998 Memorandum of Understanding
between NIH and DOE.

GAO's Mission:
The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress,
exists to support Congress in meeting its constitutional
responsibilities and to help improve the performance and accountability
of the federal government for the American people. GAO examines the use
of public funds; evaluates federal programs and policies; and provides
analyses, recommendations, and other assistance to help Congress make
informed oversight, policy, and funding decisions. GAO's commitment to
good government is reflected in its core values of accountability,
integrity, and reliability.
Obtaining Copies of GAO Reports and Testimony:
The fastest and easiest way to obtain copies of GAO documents at no
cost is through the Internet. GAO's Web site ( www.gao.gov ) contains
abstracts and full-text files of current reports and testimony and an
expanding archive of older products. The Web site features a search
engine to help you locate documents using key words and phrases. You
can print these documents in their entirety, including charts and other
graphics.
Each day, GAO issues a list of newly released reports, testimony, and
correspondence. GAO posts this list, known as "Today's Reports," on its
Web site daily. The list contains links to the full-text document
files. To have GAO e-mail this list to you every afternoon, go to
www.gao.gov and select "Subscribe to e-mail alerts" under the "Order
GAO Products" heading.
Order by Mail or Phone:
The first copy of each printed report is free. Additional copies are $2
each. A check or money order should be made out to the Superintendent
of Documents. GAO also accepts VISA and Mastercard. Orders for 100 or
more copies mailed to a single address are discounted 25 percent.
