SUMMARY OF CHANGES. Converted BOP-40.001C to a Supplemental Directive. Revised the Purpose, Background, and Requirements. Restructured the lines of succession for NA-20, NA-80, and NA-GC-1; added line of succession for NA-30; modified the titles for positions under NA-MB-1. 5. BACKGROUND. Presidential Policy Directive 40 (PPD-40), National Continuity Policy, directs the Secretary of Homeland Security through the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate the implementation, execution, and assessment of continuity activities among executive departments and agencies. Federal Continuity Directive 1 (FCD-1) implements this requirement by establishing the framework, requirements, and processes to support the development of departments and agencies continuity programs and by specifying and defining elements of a continuity plan. Among the requirements for an agency’s continuity plan is the establishment of a line of succession. Orders of succession are formal and sequential listings of positions (rather than specific names of individuals) that identify who is authorized to assume a particular leadership or management role under specific circumstances. This SD fulfills NNSA’s requirement to establish a line of succession for both the Administrator and for the program offices within NNSA. 2 SD-150.1 6-30-17 6. REQUIREMENTS. a. Any official performing the essential functions pursuant to this succession order, during the period of service under this order, will exercise all authority vested by law in the identified position necessary to ensure NNSA essential functions are performed. b. No individual serving in an acting capacity in one of the positions identified below is included in this line of succession unless specifically designated in writing. The order of succession will skip any individual in an acting capacity and move to the next individual that is not in an acting capacity. c. The line of succession included herein does not preclude the Administrator,

Principal Deputy Administrator, Deputy Administrators, Associate Administrators, or the General Counsel, as appropriate, from designating in writing an official chosen to perform selected routine responsibilities while temporarily on scheduled travel or leave. d. In the event that NNSA’s main facility is compromised and Headquarters personnel are unavailable or incapable of deploying to the Germantown Alternate Operating Facility, the Devolution of Control and Direction contained in the DOE Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan will become effective. In this situation, Headquarters senior leadership, their responsibilities, and essential functions will devolve to a position at a designated Devolution of Operations site, as identified with an asterisk (*) in the Lines of Succession below. If a site or position has not been identified, the NNSA Albuquerque Complex is the NNSA Devolution Site. 7. LINES OF SUCCESSION. a. Administrator.
