Site Integrated Assessment Plan (SIAP) Development, Updating, and Reporting
1. PURPOSE: This BOP establishes a standard process for the annual development,
updating, and reporting of SIAPs across the NNSA Nuclear Security Enterprise as
described in Chapter 9 of NNSA Policy Letter “Transformational Governance and
Oversight” (NAP 21). It also supports Department of Energy (DOE) Order 226.1B,
Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, Section 4,
Requirements, Subsection b, which requires written plans and schedules for planned
assessments.
2. CANCELLATIONS: None
3. APPLICABILITY:
a. This BOP applies to the NNSA Field Elements that are responsible for oversight
of Management and Operating (M&O) and/or prime contractors, and NNSA
Deputy and Associate Administrator designated organizations responsible for
oversight of Field Element oversight programs. Specific aspects of M&O
operations such as financial management or program execution are also included.
Attachment 1, Enterprise Oversight Areas is a representative, but not all-inclusive
list of oversight activities that are within the scope of this BOP.
b. This BOP, including attachments, does not establish requirements for performing
oversight. Those requirements are dictated by Federal law, DOE directives, and
HQ and Field element specific oversight documents. The current version of the
NNSA Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities (FRA) document delineates
the specific organizational roles and responsibilities for conducting oversight
activities. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by
Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 USC Sections 2406 and 2511, and to
ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy/DOE Naval Nuclear Propulsion
Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) will implement
and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to this BOP for activities under
the Director’s cognizance, as deemed appropriate.
4. BACKGROUND:
a. The objective of this BOP is to establish a standard process for the annual
development, updating, and reporting of SIAPs across the NNSA Nuclear
Security Enterprise. The integration of organizational elements in the
development of the SIAPs is intended to:
(1) Facilitate the efficient use of assessment resources by avoiding duplicative
assessment efforts. Also facilitate the sharing of assessment information
across the NSE
2 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
(2) Promote the integration of assessments conducted by organizations
external to the Site Office with those conducted by the Site Office or site
contractors.
(3) Provide a means for identifying opportunities to gain efficiencies by
combining similar assessment activities.
(4) Provide a means for determining whether the number, type, and or
complexity of assessment activities are consistent with the contractor or
field element performance in the area being reviewed, the confidence in
the implementation of the Contractor Assurance System (CAS), the risk of
adverse performance on mission success, and the inherent risk of the area
and/or operation being reviewed.
Section 2
(5) Provide a tool for the Site Office Manager (SOM) to review the integrated
assessment activities across their site and to challenge the basis for any
proposed assessment activities that are not consistent with the above, and
or do not meet the NNSA oversight principles, included in NAP-21, prior
to approving the SIAP.
(6) Provide a tool for NNSA HQ managers to communicate to DOE oversight
organizations and other stakeholders the extent of integrated assessment
activities across the NNSA. This communication may influence the
selection of oversight activities conducted by these organizations and
promote the effective integration of oversight activities planned by these
organizations into the related SIAP.
5. REQUIREMENTS: This BOP outlines the process for SIAP development, update, and
reporting for each site. The SIAP subsumes formerly required assessment plans
developed external to the Site Offices such as functional management plans required by
previous revisions of NNSA SD 226.1.
a. Overall Process Description: The overall process sequence for development and
updating SIAP, through issuance of the annual report, is depicted in Figure 1
below.
3 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
Figure1. – Assessment Planning Process
The development of the SIAP normally starts in June with the Site Offices’
receipt of HQ initial planning guidance for the upcoming fiscal year. The Site
Office completes the development of a draft SIAP by integrating the assessments
identified from the site’s internal assessment selection process including self
assessments, assessments identified by HQ, and any shadow or joint assessments
identified based on a review of the contractor’s annual assessment plan. The Site
Office Manager (SOM) then approves the SIAP (Revision 0) by October 1, for
execution in the current fiscal year.
b. A first update of the SIAP is developed based on input from a HQ coordination
review of the SIAPs from all Sites and interactions with organizations external to
NNSA, which is intended to identify further opportunities for integration of their
planned assessment activities. This first update results in Revision 1 of the SIAP,
which is approved by the SOM in December. A second update of the SIAP is
performed to address changing conditions and to document the actual status of
4 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
planned assessments in the SIAPs. The second update results in Revision 2 of the
SIAP approved by the SOM in May.
c. The Site Office collects final status of the planned assessments in the SIAP at the
end of the fiscal year. This information is used to support a required SOM
Overview that outlines the rationale for any significant shifts in assessment
activity types and emphasis areas for the new fiscal year, compared to the plan
executed in the previous fiscal year.
d. The specific steps in the SIAP development and update process are described
below:
(1) Step 1 – HQ provides initial assessment and oversight planning input to
Site Offices: HQ designated points of contact (Integrated Assessment
POCs) provide initial assessment and oversight planning input to the Site
Offices. The initial HQ planning input includes enterprise-wide or site-
specific focus areas and known reoccurring assessments for the upcoming
year. The focus areas are intended as early planning aids that are expected
to be covered by either the contractor’s or Site Office’s assessment
activities. The responsibility for overall assessment planning remains with
the Field and HQ Organizations as described in section 3, a. This input is
provided by June 30 to support the development of the SIAP for the next
fiscal year.
Section 3
(a) The intended content of the initial HQ planning input is described
below:
1 Oversight Focus Areas
• Enterprise emphasis areas from the Office of the
Administrator and other senior leadership or;
• Function- or site-specific emphasis area based on
any known vulnerabilities or performance
weaknesses that pose a high risk to mission
execution for the upcoming year
2 Required Reoccurring Assessments
• Those assessments defined by statute, regulation or
DOE directive, and whose execution cannot be
delegated to the Site Office or contractor regardless
of contractor performance or line oversight
effectiveness
5 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
(b) This input is documented using the template provided as
Attachment 2, HQ Initial Assessment and Oversight Planning
Input Template.
(c) The NNSA Office of Nuclear Safety and Governance, NA-171
collects the inputs from the HQ organizations, and provides a
consolidated input to the Site Offices.
(2) Step 2 -- Site Office develops Revision 0 of the SIAP: The SOM then
approves the SIAP (Revision 0) by October 1. The approved SIAP,
Revision 0, is provided electronically to NA-171, for distribution to HQ
and external stakeholders. Sites have the option of incorporating the
contractor’s assessment plan in the SIAP or including it as an attachment
to the SIAP.
(3) Step 3 – HQ conducts a SIAP coordination review:
(a) The SOM provides NA-171 with a copy of the approved SIAP,
Revision 0, by October 15. The SOM also provides a SIAP annual
summary report that provides status of the previous fiscal year’s
SIAP and the basis for the level of and selection of Site Office
assessment and oversight activities in the current year SIAP. The
expectations for the content of this report are described in Step 8.
(b) NA-171 coordinates a review of the SIAPs and SIAP annual
summary reports with the NNSA Integrated Assessment POCs
Mission and Mission Support Managers. NA-171 develops the
guidance and internal timeline for this review.
(c) During this coordination review, the HQ Integrated Assessment
POCs are encouraged to share the NNSA integrated oversight
plans with stakeholders outside of NNSA. This would include the
independent oversight group in the DOE Office of Health, Safety,
and Security (HSS), the Office of Investigations in the DOE Office
of Inspector General (IG), and other DOE mission areas such as
Project Management within the Office of Engineering and
Construction Management - (OECM) and Environmental
Management (EM). These organizations could choose to meet
their needs by participating in or “shadowing” NNSA assessments
identified in the SIAPs, or requesting reports generated by NNSA
activities.
(d) Proposed changes resulting from this coordination review are
documented using the template provided as Attachment 3, HQ
SIAP Input Template.
6 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
(e) NA-171 reviews the inputs from the NNSA Integrated Assessment
POCs to determine if the input is consistent with the NNSA
operating principles and NAP-21. NA-171 provides a consolidated
set of inputs to each Site Office’s Point of Contact (POC) by
December 1.
(4) Step 4 -- SOM issues Revision 1 of the SIAP:
(a) The Site Office makes any necessary changes to its SIAP based on
the input provided in Step 3. Revision 1 of the SIAP, which
includes that input, is provided to the SOM for review and
approval by December 20.
(b) The approved SIAP, Revision 1, is provided electronically to NA-
171 for distribution to HQ and external stakeholders.
Section 4
(c) Note: In the event that a SOM disputes the need or basis for a new
assessment activity identified during the coordination review, the
SOM notifies NA-171 of the issue. If NA-171 cannot resolve the
issue, it will be elevated to the Deputy Administrator for Defense
Programs (NA-10) and, if necessary the Principal Deputy
Administrator, for resolution. If the issue is not resolved by
December 20, the SOM will approve Revision 1 of the SIAP and
any outstanding issues will be annotated in the approval.
(5) Step 5 -- Site Office provides a SIAP mid-year status: By April 15, the
Site Office provides NA-171 with the status, as of March 31, of the
planned assessment activities in the SIAP for each of the assessment types
included in Attachment 4, Enterprise Assessment Types. This status
includes the number of activities completed, cancelled, and deferred into
the next fiscal year, as well as the number of any new assessment activities
identified and approved by the SOM in each of the enterprise assessment
categories. The status also includes an updated schedule of all the Site
Office activities that HQ personnel were planning to participate in or
shadowing based on Revision 1 of the SIAP.
(6) Step 6 -- NA-171 coordinates HQ SIAP mid-year update:
(a) NA-171 distributes the SIAP Mid-Year Status for each Site to the
functional and topical Integrated Assessment POCs within NA-10
and outside of NA-10. NA-171 is responsible for providing
guidance for HQ review requirements and the corresponding
schedule.
7 BOP 10.003
01-18-12
(b) The HQ Integrated Assessment POCs review the status of planned
HQ and external oversight activities included in the approved
Revision 1 of the SIAP. The Integrated Assessment POCs also
provide an updated schedule for the remaining planned HQ
activities in Revision 1 of the SIAP.
(c) If an HQ POC identifies a need for a new assessment activity, this
is documented separately with a basis for the activity described and
a planned schedule identified. Any new HQ-led assessment
activity is documented in Attachment 3, HQ SIAP Input Template.
(d) NA-171 reviews the input provided by the HQ Integrated
Assessment POCs and provides the Site Offices a consolidated
update of planned activities in the SIAP, Revision 1, and any new
HQ-led assessments documented on the template provided in
Attachment 3. This input is required by May 15.
(7) Step 7—Site Office issues Revision 2 of the SIAP:
(a) As in Step 4, the Site Office incorporates changes using the
consolidated input from NA-171 and issues Revision 2 of the
SIAP, signed by the SOM, by May 30. If necessary, disputes are
resolved using the approach outlined in Step 4(c).
(b) The approved SIAP, Revision 2, is provided electronically to NA-
171 for distribution to HQ and external stakeholders.
(8) Step 8 — Site Office provides a SIAP end of year summary:
(a) The SOM provides NA-171 with the SIAP end of year summary
report by October 20.
(b) This report includes the status of the concluded year SIAP for each
of the enterprise assessment types. In addition to this summary,
each site provides the SOM’s overview of how the planned
assessment and oversight activities in the SIAP have been adjusted
for the upcoming year. This overview should include a high-level
assessment of the maturity of the contractor assurance system,
contractor performance, and field element oversight for each of the
applicable enterprise oversight areas, and the rationale for
significant changes in the number, type, and mix of assessment
activities in the SIAP compared to the previous year’s plan.
Examples would be an increase in assessment activity related to a
new mission or new vulnerability, or a decrease associated with
sustained good performance or a change in risk or requirements.
