 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Department of Energy Laboratory Technology Act of 1993 - Authorizes the Department of Energy (DOE) to maintain departmental laboratories to pursue specified statutory missions. Prohibits commitment of more than ten percent of a departmental laboratory's annual budget to technology transfer activities that do not directly support such missions.

Requires the Secretary of Energy (the Secretary) to submit a plan to the Congress for the phased consolidation of nuclear weapons-related activities conducted by DOE laboratories.

Amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to establish: (1) the offices of Under Secretary of Energy, General Counsel, and Under Secretary for Science and Technology; (2) the Technology Development Advisory Board; and (3) the Office of Technology Development. Authorizes appropriations.

Amends the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 to reduce the time required for review and or/approval of a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) pertaining to federally-owned contractor-operated laboratories. Mandates that any CRADA involving a Federal commitment of $500,000 or more contain technical milestones, goals, and criteria annually reviewed by the sponsoring Federal agency.

Authorizes a Federal agency to permit the director of its Government-owned, contractor-operated laboratories to enter into a CRADA agreement without its specific approval if it involves a Federal commitment of $5 million or less.

Establishes: (1) a National Technology Partnership Award; and (2) a Federal Laboratory Mission Evaluation and Coordination Committee to implement certain evaluation and coordination functions related to activities of the Federal laboratories.
