In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 United States Code (U.S.C.) 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 Directive for activities under the Director's cognizance, as deemed appropriate. 4. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. This SD revises the Requirements section and restructures the lines of succession for the Administrator, NA-10, NA-30, NA-40, NA-50, NA-70, NA-80, and NA-EA. This SD modifies position titles throughout those organizations, as necessary. 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 150.1A 09-06-19 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 who 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. 7.
