5. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. This SD replaces NNSA SD 470.4-1, Defense Nuclear
Security Federal Oversight Process, with requirements and responsibilities, including
those for headquarters and field office personnel, for federal S&S oversight at NNSA
facilities in accordance with the NNSA Governance & Management Framework and
NNSA SD 226.1C, NNSA Site Governance.
6. BACKGROUND. Four DNS positions constitute the program office and jointly fulfill
program office oversight roles:
a. Chief of Defense Nuclear Security (CDNS)/Associate Administrator for DNS
b. Deputy Associate Administrator for DNS
c. Director, DNS Office of Security Operations and Programmatic Planning
Section 2
d. Director, DNS Office of Personnel and Facility Clearances and Classification.
7. REQUIREMENTS. All S&S programs, practices, and procedures developed within
NNSA must be consistent with all DOE and national requirements (e.g., Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, Executive Orders, U.S. Code, Code of Federal Regulations). Routine S&S
oversight activities are defined at the Program, Functional, and Field levels to achieve
consistency with the NNSA Governance & Management Framework while also allowing
for flexibility in oversight application to account for the unique needs and priorities of
individual sites. Where applicable, communications between program, functional, and
field offices must follow the process specified in Appendix A.
a. Program Office Oversight. The program office must conduct oversight by
carrying out the following activities:
(1) Operational Awareness.
(a) Identify NSE S&S program priorities, issues, and trends using
complex-wide operational awareness data that has been collected,
filtered, and analyzed by functional and field offices.
(b) Identify the data type and frequency required for maintaining
operational awareness over S&S program execution across the
NSE, in collaboration with functional and field offices.
NNSA SD 226.1-2 3
05-25-21
(c) Maintain complex-wide operational awareness by leveraging
analytical products that functional offices create, which are based
on information provided by field oversight activities, according to
programmatic guidance and S&S mission objectives.
(2) Contractor Assurance Verification. Program-level contractor assurance
verification is enabled by field offices, which collect and verify contractor
assurance data, and functional offices, which identify trends within their
competencies across sites.
(a) Monitor contract partner performance on scope, cost, and schedule
using contractor assurance data and associated field office analysis.
(b) Provide continuous feedback on contractor assurance system
activities in coordination with the field office.
(3) Assessments.
(a) Identify the scope and schedule of DNS-led programmatic
assessments where warranted, either by statute or on the basis of
mission risk.1
(b) Coordinate with functional offices and field management to
schedule assessment activities using the Site Integrated
Assessment Plan (SIAP) drafting and review process.
(c) Establish a process, in conjunction with functional and field
offices, by which to assess the implementation of delegated
Officially Designated Federal Security Authority (ODFSA) and
NNSA Chief Security Officer (CSO) authorities. This process and
the results are shared with all functional and field offices.
(4) Planning.
(a) Establish S&S performance objectives and other evaluation criteria
for contractors that evaluate contractor performance, in
coordination with functional and field offices, for use in the
Corporate Performance Evaluation Process.
(b) Evaluate site- and NSE-wide S&S topics identified by functional
offices each fiscal year as candidates for focused assessment
during the upcoming fiscal year and develop site- and enterprise-
wide recommendations on these topics.
1 This SD does not govern DNS participation in assessments directed by external entities (e.g., U.S. Department of
Energy Office of Enterprise Assessments).
4 NNSA SD 226.1-2
05-25-21
(c) Coordinate and transmit program-level recommendations for
focused assessment activities to field offices for incorporation into
the SIAP development process.
Section 3
(d) Review finalized SIAPs and field assessment lists prioritized by
the functional offices. Develop field assessment participation
schedules for each functional office.
(e) Provide schedules for functional office participation in field
assessments to field offices.
(5) Documentation and Communication of Oversight Activities.
(a) Document oversight activities in accordance with standard
operating procedures.
(b) Communicate programmatic priorities, trends, and issues to
functional and field office management and other relevant program
offices within the NSE.
(c) Follow established protocols to communicate with contractors
regarding oversight expectations and performance and include
relevant program, functional, and field office stakeholders.
b. Functional Office Oversight. The functional office comprises federal personnel
assigned by the program office to support the implementation of federal S&S
oversight. The functional office serves as the conduit between the field offices
and the program office supporting the latter by evaluating S&S program
execution in conjunction with field offices and identifying enterprise-level trends
within each S&S functional area using data provided by field offices. The DNS
functional office includes functional area managers and site operations officers.
Functional office personnel perform defined regulatory functions and oversight
support in consultation with the program office and field offices. Oversight
support is provided in accordance with guidance, strategy, and priorities set by the
program office and is carried out in concert with the field office to collect and
analyze the data necessary to meet program office expectations. Activities
performed by functional office personnel working in the field to augment field
S&S oversight capabilities are considered to be field oversight activities.
Functional office oversight must be implemented through the following
activities:
NNSA SD 226.1-2 5
05-25-21
(1) Operational Awareness.
(a) Maintain complex-wide operational awareness within each
functional area by leveraging information provided by field
oversight activities in accordance with programmatic guidance and
S&S mission objectives.
(b) Identify NSE-wide S&S program priorities, issues, and trends
within each functional area and report the results to relevant
program offices to be evaluated for applicability in future field
oversight activities.
(2) Contractor Assurance Verification. Primarily a field office activity;
however, functional offices may need to collaborate with field offices to
review collected contractor assurance data that supports a functional
review of enterprise-wide trends, based on priorities established by the
program office.
(3) Assessments. Support program-level assessments (i.e., those related to
delegated ODFSA responsibilities) based on scope and schedule where
warranted, either by statute or on the basis of mission risk associated with
a security event or emerging security concern. Program-level assessments
focus on evaluating the effectiveness of field office oversight of contractor
performance in delegated areas.
(4) Planning.
(a) Use operational awareness data and lessons learned to identify site-
and NSE-wide S&S topics prior to the end of the third quarter of
each fiscal year, for potential focused assessment during the
upcoming fiscal year. Identified focus areas are provided to the
program office to be evaluated for transmission to the field office.
Section 4
(b) Review finalized SIAPs. Provide the program office with a
prioritized list of focused field office assessments in which the
functional office has been requested to support or participate, or in
which the functional office would like to participate.
(5) Documentation and Communication of Oversight Activities.
(a) Document oversight activities in accordance with standard
operating procedures.
(b) Communicate with field offices, including all stakeholders,
regarding oversight expectations and desired performance in
accordance with established protocols.
6 NNSA SD 226.1-2
05-25-21
(c) Communicate the purpose and results (including trends and issues)
from functional office analyses of operational awareness data (e.g.,
incidents of security concern monthly reports) to relevant program
and field offices.
(d) Include relevant field office personnel in all communications
between functional offices and contractors.
c. Field Office Oversight. Field offices are part of federal line management and
perform oversight activities to evaluate contractor performance and manage risk-
enabling contractors to execute NNSA mission work effectively, efficiently, and
within the bounds of regulatory compliance.
In conducting their oversight activities, field offices maintain day-to-day
operational awareness of contractor activities leveraging contractor assurance
system data and implementing formal assessments. Field offices communicate
performance information to field management, functional, and program offices to
support enterprise-level programs and risk decisions. Field office oversight
implementation is tailored to the level of risk associated with each functional
office relevant to the facility or site.
The field office must conduct oversight by carrying out the following activities.
(1) Operational Awareness Activities (OAAs).
(a) Conduct OAAs and provide local site management an
understanding of day-to-day contractor performance of ongoing
operations at the site.
i. OAAs can include activities such as attending contractor
meetings, reviewing data and metrics, reviewing
management reports, and observing contractor work
activities.
ii. OAAs can be planned or conducted ad hoc to meet field,
functional, or program-level objectives.
(b) Evaluate OAA data to determine local trends that may need further
evaluation.
(c) Provide functional offices with data used by the functional office
to maintain operational awareness.
NNSA SD 226.1-2 7
05-25-21
(2) Contractor Assurance Verification.
(a) Review contractor assurance system S&S performance and data
communication.
(b) Evaluate the effectiveness of contractor assurance systems using
program identified NSE-wide S&S program priorities, issues, and
trends.
(c) Apply results from local contractor assurance system analyses to
plan future oversight activities.
(d) Communicate local site trends and insights from contractor
assurance activities to field management and the program office.
This information will be shared with appropriate functional offices
for evaluation of complex-wide issues or trends.
(e) Determine timelines for closure of federally identified issues that
are commensurate with the mission risk posed by the issue.
(3) Assessments. Field offices participate in internal and external assessments
to determine contractor performance in the implementation of a specific
functional area, sub-area, or activity at a particular point in time. Types of
assessments include security surveys, shadow assessments, and self-
assessments. Assessments are planned in advance and are listed in each
field office’s SIAP.
Section 5
(a) Coordinate and consolidate assessments to meet identified
functional and program office needs.
(b) Identify schedules and resource needs during the assessment
planning process.
(c) Conduct program-level assessments with support from functional
subject matter experts as necessary.
(4) Planning.
(a) Utilize field procedures to conduct a risk-based review of oversight
areas for use in SIAP development. Include function or site-
specific emphasis areas from any known vulnerabilities or
performance weaknesses that pose a high risk to mission execution
for the upcoming year.
(b) Consider program office recommendations for focused
assessments when developing the SIAP.
8 NNSA SD 226.1-2

NNSA SD 226.1-2 Appendix A
05-25-21 APA-1
APPENDIX A: NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION INCIDENT
REPORTING GUIDELINES AND EVENT NOTIFICATION MATRIX
1. INTRODUCTION. The following event notification guidelines are a set of business
rules intended to provide a clear process for notifying key Department of
Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) personnel in a timely
manner of incidents involving the security of nuclear weapons, special nuclear material,
or incidents affecting NNSA personnel, facilities, or property. Recent events in which
established protocols were followed revealed a disconnect between the established
notification processes and actual expectations. This notification matrix will eventually be
incorporated into DOE policy.
2. PROCESS.
a. Notification Timelines. The notification timelines provide an expectation for
notifying key DOE/NNSA personnel in a timely manner, depending on the
dynamics of the event. There is no expectation for this notification process to
take precedence over the immediate handling of the incident by the local
leadership team. In all instances, addressing the incident is always the primary
concern of local management; when the situation permits the following timelines
will be followed:
(1). Immediate Notifications (IMNOT). Notify key headquarters DOE/NNSA
personnel immediately of an event that falls into this notification category.
Time lapse from discovery of the incident to notification to Chief of
Defense Nuclear Security (CDNS) should not exceed one hour.
Notification requirements must provide minimal details (who, what, when,
where, and how) to ensure key personnel have situational awareness of the
event and are able to brief external stakeholders and leadership as
required. Immediate notifications require telephonic contact with key
personnel or designee at the contact numbers provided. Follow-up
notifications should be made as details become available or as requested.
(2). Next Business Day or Night Note. Incidents in this category should be
briefed to key Headquarters NNSA personnel or designee via telephonic
contact or written correspondence (email), via a night note or the next
business day. The correspondence should provide all known details (who,
what, when, where, and how) and current status of the incident.
Section 7
b. Notification Responsibility. Notification to key headquarters DOE/NNSA
personnel or designee of any reportable event is the responsibility of the Field
Office Manager and staff as directed locally. The key personnel or designee
receiving the notification will convey the information to the next level of
leadership as required.
Appendix A NNSA SD 226.1-2
APA-2 05-25-21
c. Notification Matrix. The notification matrix is a situational document that
provides incidents and events for which key DOE/NNSA personnel, external
stakeholders, and leadership requires notification from the responsible field
element, within the designated timeline. The field elements should use a
conservative decision-making approach for any incident or event not contained in
the notification matrix.
d. NNSA Event Notification Checklist. The NNSA event notification checklist
provides guidance of required information sets that must be included in the
notification to DOE/NNSA personnel or designee.
NNSA SD 226.1-2 Appendix A
05-25-21 APA-3

APPENDIX C: DEFINITIONS
a. Assessment. An oversight activity planned and documented in a Site Integrated Assessment
Plan and conducted to determine contractor performance in the implementation of a specific
functional area, sub-area, or activity at a point in time.
b. Contractor Assurance Verification. A federal oversight activity undertaken to observe or
leverage a contractor’s own oversight processes in support of operational awareness.
c. Field Office. An NNSA organization responsible for administering performance-based
contracts with NNSA contractors to deliver on objectives set by program offices,
authorization or approval of contractor activities in accordance with delegated authorities and
DOE/NNSA policy, and serving as the U.S. Government’s representative at each laboratory,
plant, or site (as applicable).
d. Functional Office. An NNSA headquarters organization that is responsible for enabling
mission work by providing expertise, advice, and counsel to program offices, senior
management, and field offices in accordance with roles established by DOE/NNSA policy
and performing defined regulatory functions and oversight support in consultation and
coordination with program and field offices.
e. Governance. The system of management and controls executed in the stewardship of the
organization. NNSA implements governance through a collaborative partnership between
federal and contractor organizations to accomplish a common mission while still preserving
the federal independence needed to function in NNSA’s self-regulatory role.
f. Officially Designated Federal Security Authority. ODFSAs are federal employees who
possess the appropriate knowledge and responsibilities for each situation to which they are
assigned through delegation. Delegation authority for these positions is originated according
to direction from the accountable Program Secretarial Officer (or the Secretary or Deputy
Secretary for Departmental Elements not organized under a Program Secretarial Office), who
also provides direction for which of the ODFSA positions may be further delegated. Each
delegation must be documented in written form.
g. Operational Awareness. Awareness maintained by federal oversight personnel of program
scope, relationships, site resources and capabilities necessary to support program activities
and associated risks (e.g., safeguards and security; environment, safety, and health;
emergency management; and nuclear operations).
Section 11
h. Program Office. An NNSA headquarters organization that is responsible for overseeing
appropriated funding and executing program management functions. Programs are national
in scope and span multiple NNSA sites.
i. Site Integrated Assessment Plan. A document developed for each NNSA laboratory, plant, or
site, in accordance with NNSA SD 226.1C, that identifies a comprehensive transparent plan
for federal assessment activities for a given fiscal year.

dual purpose of gathering information about the area being assessed and for contractor
assurance verification.
