Subject to paragraph (2) and except as provided in paragraph (3), before submitting to Congress a request for funds for a construction project that is in support of a national security program of the Department of Energy, the Secretary of Energy shall complete a conceptual design for that project. If the estimated cost of completing a conceptual design for a construction project exceeds $5,000,000, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a request for funds for the conceptual design before submitting a request for funds for the construction project. The requirement in paragraph (1) does not apply to a request for funds— (A) for a construction project the total estimated cost of which is less than the minor construction threshold; or (B) for emergency planning, design, and construction activities under section 2747 of this title.
