Effective on the date that is 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the National Technical Information Act of 1988 (subtitle B of title II of Public Law 100–519 ; 15 U.S.C. 3704b ) is repealed. The Secretary of Commerce, the Archivist of the United States, the Comptroller General of the United States, and the Commissioner of Social Security shall consult with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to determine if any function of NTIS is critical to the economy of the United States. The Comptroller General of the United States shall determine which of the critical functions identified pursuant to paragraph
(1)are not being carried out by any other agency or instrumentality of the Federal Government. Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the Secretary of Commerce, before the effective date set forth in subsection (a), may transfer the responsibility for any critical function of NTIS (as identified under paragraph (1)) that is not otherwise being carried out (as determined under paragraph (2)) to another office within the Department of Commerce. The Secretary may not transfer any fee-based services offered by NTIS to another office within the Department of Commerce. If fee-based services determined to be critical to the economy of the United States under paragraph
(1)are being carried out by a contractor through a contract with NTIS, such contract may not be renewed, but the Federal agency receiving such services, or the General Service Administration, may enter into a new contract with the contractor or another qualified entity to continue such services after the expiration of the contract with NTIS. Except for the functions transferred pursuant to subsection (b), all functions of the NTIS immediately before the repeal date described in subsection
(a)are abolished on such repeal date. Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, shall— transfer all unexpended balances in the National Technical Information Service Revolving Fund, established pursuant to the Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 1993 ( 15 U.S.C. 3704b note), to the general fund of the Treasury for the purpose of deficit reduction; and after the transfer is completed pursuant to paragraph (1), dissolve the National Technical Information Service Revolving Fund.
