    • Restricted access to classified and sensitive

    Energy Policy Act of 2005

    "The Secretary, through the Office of Scientific and Technical Information, shall maintain within the Department publicly available collections of scientific and technical information resulting from research, development, demonstration, and commercial applications activities supported by the Department."

    "…the Department's role as a source of information…is unique and indispensable in the advancement of energy technologies."*
    -- from Quadrennial Technology Review press release

      "Our success should be measured not when a project is completed or an experiment concluded, but when scientific and technical information is disseminated…"
    -- from 2011 Department of Energy Strategic Plan
