DATA COLLECTION FOR COST ESTIMATING
PURPOSE. To define requirements and assign responsibilities for the collection of data
items needed in support of cost estimating.
AUTHORITY. 50 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2411, Director for Cost Estimating and
Program Evaluation, and 10 U.S.C. 499a, Collection, storage, and sharing of data relating
to nuclear security enterprise and nuclear forces.
CANCELLATION. None.
APPLICABILITY.
a. Federal. This National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Policy (NAP)
applies to all federal elements.
b. Contractors. This NAP applies to all Management and Operating (M&O)
contractors performing work under the NNSA.
c. Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by
Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 U.S.C. 2406 and 2511, and to ensure
consistency throughout the joint Navy/Department of Energy (DOE) Naval
Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors
(Director) will implement and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to
this Directive for activities under the Director’s cognizance as deemed
appropriate.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES. Not applicable.
BACKGROUND. 50 U.S.C. 2411 assigns the responsibility for conducting independent
cost estimates on Major Atomic Energy Defense Acquisition Programs1 (MAEDAPs) to
the Director of Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation (CEPE). 50 U.S.C. 2537
requires the NNSA to submit independent cost estimates on these programs to the
congressional defense committees and to the Nuclear Weapons Council.
The development of comprehensive, accurate, and credible cost estimates is dependent on
historical cost, technical, and schedule data items. Examples of these data items include
raw cost accounting data, earned value reports,2 and integrated master schedules.3 CEPE
routinely requests these data items from the program offices and the M&O contractors
when conducting studies and cost estimates. To ensure that these data items are collected
on a continuous basis to support future cost estimating requirements and updates, this
policy outlining requirements and responsibilities has been established. This policy does
1 The term Major Atomic Energy Defense Acquisition Program is defined in paragraph (h)(2) of 50 U.S.C. 2411.
This definition is also provided in Appendix 2 of this NAP.
2 See Appendix 2 for definition
3 See Appendix 2 for definition

not impose requirements to develop new data items. The specific data items described in
the appendix and attachment already exist within either the program offices or the M&O
contractors.
50 U.S.C. 2411 also assigns requirements for data collection and accessibility to the
Director of CEPE. The data collection requirements outlined in this policy contribute to
that statutory requirement.
REQUIREMENTS. This NAP details federal requirements (provided as Appendix 1)
and establishes contractor requirements (provided as Attachment 1).
Section 2
a. All MAEDA programs and projects must comply with the data requirements
outlined in Appendix 1 and Attachment 1.
b. On an annual basis, the Director of CEPE and relevant program offices must
reach written agreement as to which non-MAEDA programs or projects are
subject to the reporting requirements outlined in Appendix 1 and Attachment 1.
c. Requirements for data collection must be designed and tailored to maximize data
collection efficiency by both federal and M&O contractor staff. Alternative
methods of data collection or process improvements designed to increase
efficiency must be brought to the attention of the CEPE Director.
d. All data collected by CEPE must be made available to all elements of the nuclear
security enterprise4 unless legal, proprietary, or security restrictions exist that
prevent the sharing of data.
e. The Director of CEPE and program offices must share, in a timely manner, cost,
programmatic, and technical data relating to programs and projects of the nuclear
security enterprise and nuclear forces with the Department of Defense, Director of
Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (DOD/CAPE) unless legal, proprietary,
or security restrictions exist that prevent the sharing of data. The Director of
CEPE and program offices must provide data to DOD/CAPE only upon receipt of
a written request for specific data from the Director of CAPE. The Director of
CEPE may also provide Financial Integration data to DOD/CAPE.
RESPONSIBILITIES.
a. Director, Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation (CEPE):
(1) Establish lines of authority within CEPE for the direction and
management of data collection.
4 The full legal definition of the term nuclear security enterprise can be found in 50 U.S.C. 2501.

Project Directors any errors or issues associated with submitted data items. Any
corrected versions of the identified data items must be provided to CEPE.
b. Only data items that already exist within a program or project office are required
to be submitted. The program or project should not create any data item solely for
the purposes of satisfying the data collection requirements outlined in this NAP.
Any data item listed in the tables that is not already produced through existing
management requirements or management best practices must be identified to
CEPE.
c. Where existing data sources/databases and data reports are able to satisfy any data
item listed in Tables 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, the Federal Program Manager and Federal
Project Director must submit a proposal to CEPE. Proposals for streamlining data
requirements through process improvement are also encouraged. Proposals must
be in the form of a memo signed by the Federal Program Manager or Federal
Project Director and submitted to the Director of CEPE and must include the
following:
(1) Federal Program or Project Name;
(2) Data Item;
(3) Process steps, timeline, and resource requirement (measured in
labor hours) for the Federal Program/Project Office to prepare and

APPENDIX 2: DEFINITIONS
1. Acquisition Program – Of defined duration, a funded effort from conceptualization,
initiation, design, development, test, contracting, production, deployment, logistics support,
modification, and disposal to provide a new, improved, or continuing weapon and weapons
system or other product to satisfy NNSA mission requirement or capability gap, intended for
use in, or in support of, NNSA missions.
2. Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) – The costs actually incurred and recorded in
accomplishing work performed.
3. Budget at Completion (BAC) – The total authorized budget for accomplishing the project
scope of work. It is equal to the sum of all allocated budget plus any undistributed budget
(Management Reserve is not included). The Budget at Completion will form the
Performance Measurement Baseline, as it is allocated and time-phased in accordance with
project schedule requirements.
4. Baseline – A quantitative definition of cost, schedule, and technical performance that serves
as a base or standard for measurement and control during the performance of an effort; the
established plan against which the status of resources and the effort of the overall program,
field program(s), project(s), task(s), or subtask(s) are measured, assessed, and controlled.
Once established, baselines are subject to change control discipline.
5. Budgeted Cost for Work Performed (BCWP) – The value of completed work expressed in
terms of the budget assigned to that work.
6. Budgeted Cost for Work Scheduled (BCWS) – Time-phased Budget Plan for work currently
scheduled. Also referred to as Planned Value.
7. Capital Asset Project – A project with defined start and end points required in the acquisition
of capital assets. The project acquisition cost of a capital asset includes both its purchase
price and all other costs incurred to bring it to form and a location suitable for its intended
use. It is independent of funding type. It excludes operating expense funded activities such
as repair, maintenance, or alterations that are part of routine operations and maintenance
functions and do not exceed the general plant project threshold.
Section 7
8. Control Account (CA) – The point at which budgets (resource plans) and actual costs are
accumulated and compared to earned value for management control purposes; a natural
management point for planning and control that represents work assigned to one responsible
organizational on one work breakdown structure element. .
9. Earned Value Management (EVM) – A project performance method that utilizes an
integrated set of performance measurements (e.g., scope, schedule and budget) to assess and
measure project performance and progress, and estimate cost and schedule impacts at
completion.
Appendix 2 NAP 413.1
AP2-2 06-03-19
10. Estimate at Completion (EAC) – Actual cost of work completed to date plus the predicted
costs and schedule for finishing the remaining work. The current estimated total cost for
project authorized work. EAC equals the actual cost to a point in time plus the estimated
costs to completion. (EAC = ACWP + ETC)
11. Federal Program Manager (FPM) – An individual in the headquarters organizational element
responsible for managing a program and, until designation of the FPD, its assigned projects.
They ensure that all the projects are properly phased, funded over time, and that each project
manager is meeting key milestones. They are the project manager's advocate, ensure proper
resourcing, and facilitate the execution process. They predict programmatic risks and put
mitigation strategies in place so that projects are not affected.
12. Federal Project Director – the individual certified under the Department’s Project
Management Career Development Program as responsible and accountable to the Project
Management Executive or Program Secretarial Officer for project execution.
Responsibilities include developing and maintaining the Project Execution Plan; managing
project resources; establishing and implementing management systems, including
performance measurement systems; and approving and implementing changes to project
baselines.
13. Independent Cost Estimate (ICE) – A cost estimate prepared by an organization independent
from the government line manager’s authority and the contractor organization responsible for
the project or program, using the same detailed technical and procurement information to
develop the program or project estimate in accordance with the Government Accountability
Office (GAO) best practices.
14. Independent Cost Review (ICR) – An evaluation of a program’s or project’s cost estimate
that examines the reasonableness of the estimate quality, assumptions, and risks, also
prepared by an organization independent from the government line manager’s authority and
the contractor organization responsible for the project or program.
15. Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) – A time-based schedule containing the networked,
detailed tasks necessary to ensure successful program/contract execution.
16. Major Atomic Energy Defense Acquisition (MAEDA) Program – An atomic energy defense
acquisition program of which the total project cost is more than $500 million or the total
lifetime cost is more than $1 billion. The term major atomic energy defense acquisition
program does not include a project covered by DOE Order 413.3B (or a successor order) for
the acquisition of capital assets for atomic energy defense activities.
17. Management Reserve (MR) – An amount of the total contract budget withheld for
management control purposes by the contractor. Management reserve is not part of the
Performance Measurement Baseline.
Section 8
18. Summary Level Planning Package (SLPP) – An aggregation of work for far-terms efforts
which can be assigned to reporting level WBS elements but not to the control account level
and are therefore not “undistributed budget”.
NAP 413.1 Appendix 2
06-03-19 AP2-3
19. Undistributed Budget (UB) – A temporary holding account for authorized scope of work and
its budget that has not been assigned to a control account or summary level planning
package. This is a part of the PMB and is contractor controlled.
20. Variance at Completion (VAC) – The difference between the Budget at Completion and the
Estimate at Completion (VAC = BAC – EAC).
21. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) – A numeric structure incorporating logic to capture
scope, cost, and schedule of work. The WBS mentioned in this document will be
standardized and common across the nuclear security enterprise and will include Work for
Others and other Department of Energy programs to identify total site costs and scope. A
program WBS provides a framework for program and technical planning, cost estimating,
resource allocations, performance measurements, and status reporting. The WBS should
define the total system to be developed or produced; display the total system as a product-
oriented family tree composed of hardware, software, services, data, and facilities; and relate
the elements of work to each other and to the end product.

NAP 413.1, DATA COLLECTION FOR COST ESTIMATING
INTRODUCTION. Through already existing government requirements or contractor
management best practices, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
Management and Operating (M&O) contractors routinely create data items that are of use
to cost estimators. This attachment identifies those data items and requires the M&O
contractors to submit them to the Office of Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation
(CEPE) according to a specific schedule.
REQUIREMENTS. The following requirements apply to all MAEDA programs and
projects. For all other (Non-MAEDA) programs or projects, the following requirements
do not apply unless the Director of CEPE has 1) identified the Non-MAEDA program or
project as a relevant source of data; 2) informed and engaged with the responsible federal
or contractor organizations to discuss the data need.
a. Submit all data items listed in Tables 1-1 (Contractor Data Requirements) and 1-2
(Additional contractor data requirements applicable to Kansas City National
Security Campus only) according to the periodicity and format specified in the
table. CEPE will verify that the format and content meet the requirements. Upon
review, CEPE will communicate to the M&O contractors and associated Federal
Program or Project Manager any errors or issues associated with submitted data
items. Any corrected versions of the identified data items must be provided to
CEPE.
Section 9
b. The M&O contractor must notify CEPE if any data item listed in Tables 1-1 and
1-2 is already delivered to the government per an existing government
requirement according to the prescribed periodicity and format. CEPE will then
contact the government office receiving the data item to verify that CEPE can
gain access to the data item through that office.
c. With the exception of the material requirements summary (MRS), submit data
items listed in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 as raw data extracts, using native categories and
data structures, pulled directly from existing enterprise systems and other
management tools. The M&O contractor should note that the CEPE prefers the
data not to be mapped to any prescribed format. If the MRS data does not already
exist, the M&O contractor is not required to create this item solely for the
purposes of satisfying the data collection requirements outlined in this NAP.
d. The contractor is responsible for flowing down the requirements of this CRD to
major subcontractors and vendors5 and ensuring that the major subcontractors and
vendors comply with the requirements.
5 A major subcontractor or vendor is defined as any subcontractor or vendor estimated to exceed $20M in costs over
the life of the program.
