| | DOE - Fossil Energy: National Energy Technology Laboratory |
 | | When the two facilities were transferred in 1976 to the Energy Research and Development Administration, the predecessor agency to the Department of Energy, they were renamed, first as Energy Research Centers, then as their role expanded to larger-scale engineering projects, to Energy Technology Centers. |
 | | In December 1999, the Center was elevated to national laboratory status and renamed the National Energy Technology Laboratory. |
 | | Several years later, in 2005, the Albany Research Center (ARC) in Albany, Oregon, was realigned by DOE and incorporated under NETL management. |
