Section 2
g. Updated Attachment 2: Definitions.
6. BACKGROUND. The FY 2014 NDAA required NNSA to develop a plan to improve
and integrate the FI of the nuclear security enterprise, including improving the structure
for the allocation of work; developing a clear and consistent cost structure for each
program; identifying programs of record and base capabilities for programs; monitoring
those programs during execution; and using the data collected to analyze programs and
compare the cost of work across the nuclear security enterprise. The FY 2017 NDAA
further required NNSA to implement a common financial reporting system. In response
to these two bills, NNSA established the PDFI role to implement enterprise-wide FI. The
roles and responsibilities of the PDFI are executed by the Director for the Office of
Business Systems and Integration. NNSA plans to achieve enterprise-wide FI by
collecting standardized financial management data; increasing the transparency of
financial accountability; and improving cost analysis, comparability, and reporting
consistency among programs and M&O contractors.
Exhibit 1: Financial Integration Summary
Exhibit 1 depicts the three stages of FI. The first stage is to collect reliable and accurate
FI data from NNSA M&O contractors and, where appropriate, DOE M&O contractors or
other NNSA federal contracts. The second stage is to transmit FI data to the NNSA
program office information technology systems to track project and program execution.
In the third stage, all FI data will be made available to NNSA program, field, and
functional offices to analyze.

4. COMMON COST ELEMENT DATA COLLECTION.
Introduction.
Section 5
NNSA uses program-specific work breakdown structures (WBSs) to report on the scope
and cost of work. NNSA has also introduced the use of common methods of cost
collection by defining common cost elements to collect detailed direct and indirect costs
mapped to a WBS. NNSA is following best practices of WBS development as described
in the Government Accountability Office Cost Estimating and Assessment Guide (GAO-
20-195G) for reviewing and developing a program-specific WBS that conforms to a
common framework.
Financial integration is designed to capture data sets of direct and indirect costs managed
by NNSA’s M&O contractors.
The model consists of common cost elements that are directly mapped to the WBS,
reconciled to Standard Accounting and Reporting System (STARS), and systematically
loaded into the Department of Energy (DOE) Chief Financial Officer’s (CFO) Integrated
Data Warehouse (IDW) on a monthly basis. FI requirements include the ability to
consistently report cost elements and support any additional FI reporting requirements.
The monthly collection of cost data enhances NNSA’s ability to perform analyses on
costs within programs and across contractors.
Over time, cost elements may be added or removed, as necessary.
5. COMMON COST ELEMENTS.
a. Direct Cost Elements.
• Direct Labor and Fringe
o Craft
o Technical, Engineering, and Scientific
o Managerial and Administrative
• Travel
• Materials & Supplies
• Subcontracts
• Staff Augmentation
• Recovery of Service Center Costs (Recharges)
• Other Direct Costs
NNSA NAP 412.1A Attachment 1
12-16-24 AT1-3
b. Overhead (Indirect) Cost Elements.
• Site Support
• Program Office Support
• General and Administrative
• New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax
• Fee
• Laboratory-directed Research and Development
• Plant-directed Research and Development
• Site-directed Research and Development
• Other Indirect Costs
6. PROCESS.
NNSA and non-NNSA M&O contractors must transmit data to the DOE CFO’s
integrated data warehouse CostEX system, as directed by a Contracting Officer, or
Contracting Officer’s Representative if delegated. This data will include monthly cost
data by WBS, budget and reporting code, fund value, cost element, and any other fields.
M&O contractors must reconcile data to STARS prior to transmission. If the
transmission values do not reconcile to STARS, the FI team must reject the file. M&O
contractors are then required to resolve all reconciliation discrepancies and retransmit the
file to the IDW CostEX system. In the event M&O contractors anticipate updating
STARS data due to STARS errors or other reasons, M&O contractors must transmit a
current month data file that matches the current STARS data submitted. Corrections to
the cost data will then be included in the following month’s cost data file submittal
consistent with the updated STARS submittal.

ATTACHMENT 2: DEFINITIONS
Note: This attachment applies to National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) federal and contractor personnel.
Management and operating (M&O) contractors and NNSA program offices must use the
following cost element definitions for financial integration (FI). The Financial Integration
Executive Committee will reaffirm or modify the list of definitions and terms at least once
annually.
Section 6
a. Non-NNSA. Department of Energy (DOE) M&O contractors that receive some funding
from NNSA, program, field, and functional offices. It is necessary for NNSA to obtain
data specified in this policy to achieve enterprise-wide standards of cost collection
methods and lead to improved transparency of financial information and consistent
reporting.
b. Cost Elements. Cost Elements track the type of costs and form categories of costs that
are independent from external or financial reporting requirements but help management
track costs according to internal accounting policies. Examples include labor, purchases,
travel, and chargebacks.
Source: Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Financials, Cost Element Accounting.
c. Costs. The amount accrued or due for: 1) services performed by employees, contractors,
vendors, carriers, grantees, lessors, and other government funds; 2) goods and tangible
property received; and 3) programs for which no current service performance is required,
such as annuities, insurance claims, benefit payments, and loans.
Source: DOE Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Accounting Team.
d. Direct Labor and Fringe. Costs directly related to the creation of a product or execution
of a program that is an expense that can be completely attributed to the production of
specific goods or services. Direct Labor must be personnel that are performing directly
on a project or program as specified in the work authorization or program implementation
plan for the fiscal year. Direct Labor does not include labor charged indirect or to a
Service Center. These labor costs will be captured in the Overhead or Service Center
categories. Direct Labor and Fringe benefit costs will be reported under the following
categories:
(1) Craft Labor: pipefitters, mechanics, electricians, carpenters, machinists, welders,
plumbers, steelworkers, operators, maintenance personnel, and security police
officers.
(2) Technical, Engineering, and Scientific Labor: various types of engineers,
physicists, biologists, chemists, metallurgists, computer scientists, industrial
hygienists, security system technicians, and supporting technical assistants.
Attachment 2 NNSA NAP 412.1A

(3) Managerial and Administrative Labor: program management, project
management, project controls, security schedulers and assistants, administrative
assistants, and clerical workers. Includes all other labor categories not included in
previous categories.
Source: NNSA Financial Integration Team Cost Element.
e. Encumbrance/Commitment (fully burdened). Commitments (encumbrances) represent
the unpaid balance of awarded subcontracts. The monthly financial reports should
contain only the total unpaid portion of all commitments through the reporting period.
Subcontracts that are either in the planning or formative stages should not be reported as
commitments until the contract has been awarded. Reported amounts should include all
Commitment Overhead charges, which represent the estimated M&O contractor fees on
the unpaid portion of awarded contracts.
