 Sandia National Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandia National Laboratories is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory with two locations, one in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the other in Livermore, California.
Sandia's primary mission is to implement the nation's nuclear weapon policies through research, development, and testing related to nuclear weapons.
However, Sandia is home to many different kinds of research including psychology such as human factors and cognitive science initiatives which may fall near the tree of the DARPA augcog program.

 Sandia National Laboratories - Albuquerque, NM:Survey Summary
Sandia National Laboratories is staffed with personnel who are innovative, independent-thinking, motivated, and represent a critical element of this national resource.
Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is a Department of Energy (DOE) multiprogram national effort that maintains sites in New Mexico and California with test facilities in Nevada and Hawaii.

Finally, Sandia maintains that the discussion of the 60-day filing requirement in the preamble to Part 708 "makes it clear that DOE feels that 60 days is reasonable because investigation of claims filed after 60 days is made more difficult by fading memories." Id.; see 57 Fed. Reg.
Sandia asserts that this requirement is jurisdictional in nature, and that the DOE therefore does not have the authority to proceed in any case where the time period for filing a complaint is exceeded.
Sandia states that Sorri would have had to file his complaint by May 30, 1992, in order to meet the 60-day time period, and even if the 60 days was counted from the effective date of the new Part 708 regulations on April 2, 1992, Sorri's complaint, filed on July 23, 1992, is still untimely.
