PURPOSE. This supplemental directive (SD) provides the framework, required elements, and business processes the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will utilize to develop, implement, and maintain an efficient and sustainable records management program as required by Department of Energy (DOE) Order (O) 243.1B, Records Management Program. 2. CANCELLATION. BOP-004.001, NNSA Records Management Business and Operating Policy, dated 11-24-2003. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. NNSA Applicability. This SD applies to all NNSA Elements. NNSA Elements consist of Headquarters (HQ) and field offices (FO) which report directly to the Office of the Administrator. A complete list of current NNSA Elements is identified in Section 5.a.(1) of this SD. b. Contractors. Does not apply to contractors. DOE O 243.1B, Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) sets forth requirements to be applied to NNSA contractors that create, receive, use, maintain, disseminate, and/or dispose of Federal records. All records created and received in the performance of the contract, except those designated as contractor- owned, are DOE/NNSA records. See 48 CFR 970.5204-3 Access to and Ownership of Records. This SD may be used as a reference for new and existing NNSA programs and/or contracts that cite compliance with DOE O 243.1B, CRD, to achieve continuity and consistent implementation of the NNSA Records Management (RM) Program throughout the Nuclear Security Enterprise. c. Equivalency. 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 through 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. BACKGROUND. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) shares responsibility with Federal agencies to ensure that each agency create and preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency. The Archivist of the United States, as head of NARA, provides direction, guidance, assistance, and oversight through issuance of records management regulations and standards applicable to all Federal 2 NNSA SD 243.1 09-03-2014 agencies through Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 12, Subchapter B, Records Management. The DOE Chief Information Officer (CIO), through the Departmental Records Officer (DRO), develops and administers DOE policies, directives, and oversight through DOE O 243.1B, Records Management Program, as amended. DOE O 243.1B identifies the records management compliance elements and requires all DOE Elements including NNSA to develop, implement, and maintain a records management program. The program must ensure effective records lifecycle management that documents the actions and decisions in support of agency operations and business functions.

Section 2

SD 243.1 defines how NNSA will establish and implement a sustainable records management program as required by 36 CFR, Chapter 12, Subchapter B and DOE O 243.1B. It is not the intent or purpose of this SD to restate requirements and responsibilities previously defined in DOE O 243.1B. Processes, instructions, and tools to ensure consistent application and implementation of the NNSA Records Management (RM) Program are provided as appendices to this SD and referenced throughout the document. Additional guidance, tools, instructions, and implementation resources are provided in the NNSA Records Management Handbook (RMH 243.1). RMH 243.1 was developed using government standards, industry best practices, and extensive subject matter expertise. RMH 243.1 is not required but highly recommended for efficiency and sustainability of the NNSA RM Program. Also, this SD and the RMH 243.1 provide a majority of the course material(s) for required records management training. RMH 243.1 is located on the NNSA Records Management intranet site. 5.

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK NNSA SD 243.1 Appendix 2 09-03-2014 AP2-1 APPENDIX 2 - RECORDS MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM The NNSA Program Records Official (PRO) is responsible for the development, administration, and/or coordination of records management specific training. Records management training will be administered at a level commensurate with the role and responsibilities within the Records Management (RM) Program. The standard training frequency for all roles will encompass initial and annual refresher training. The training curriculum will be developed and updated on an annual basis to incorporate changing requirements or processes. Training delivery methods will also vary to include classroom (exercises/instructor led), video teleconference, computer-based training, webinars, pamphlets, and slide-show presentations. This appendix outlines the training categories, frequency, and delivery methods for which training will be administered. RM training is developed based on the individual’s level of involvement in the RM Program. For example, the in-depth requirements applicable to a Records Management Professional (RMP) require detailed hands-on training, exercises, and knowledge proficiency to implement the program within their organization. The general employee however, requires a high-level understanding of the requirements to adequately create, protect, and maintain records as well as coordinate with the appropriate RMP as necessary. 1. TRAINING CATEGORIES. a. Manager/Supervisor. The Manager/Supervisor training will provide an overview of high level management requirements, convey the benefits of an efficient records management program, as well as detail the potential consequences of an inefficient records management program. b. Records Management Professional. RMP training is required for individuals with specific records management functions and responsibilities. The initial detailed training will focus on the specific RMP functional areas, hands-on exercises, and provide take-away materials for future use and reference on all aspects of life- cycle records management. Annual refresher training will target areas of program improvement as well as newly identified requirements. c. General Employee. General Employee training is required for all federal employees on an annual basis. It provides a refresher overview of records management, their responsibilities, and any existing or newly identified requirements. d. New Hire Orientation. New Hire Orientation training is required for all Federal new hire employees to provide a brief overview of records management and their responsibilities. Appendix 2 NNSA SD 243.1 AP2-2 09-03-2014 2. TRAINING FREQUENCY. The frequency of training is determined upon the level of involvement and direct impact to the success of the RM Program. Table 1 identifies the training frequency for each role by the category of training. The NNSA PRO will administer “Ad-Hoc” training to targeted groups, as necessary when new requirements and/or functional responsibilities are identified.

The type of media used with each category of training will be identified as the training curriculum is developed and updated on an annual basis. As an example, a pamphlet may initially be incorporated into the new hire orientation materials; however, in the future, another delivery method may be deemed more appropriate (i.e. Computer- Based Training (CBT), PowerPoint, etc.). Potential delivery methods for training include:  Classroom Training & Exercises/Instructor Led  Video Teleconference (VTC) Training & Exercises/Instructor Led  Computer-Based Training (CBT)  Webinars  Desk-Side Assistance  Pamphlets/Handouts  Slide-Show Presentations  NARA Training Courses (where appropriate) THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK NNSA SD 243.1 Appendix 3 09-03-2014 AP3-1 APPENDIX 3 - RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL APPOINTMENT PROCESS The first phase to implement a sustainable Records Management (RM) Program is to appoint the necessary Records Management Professionals (RMP). RMPs are the required personnel resource(s) necessary to effectively coordinate and implement federal, Department and/or agency specific records management requirements within their organization. The individuals appointed as RMPs coordinate records management activities between the NNSA Program Records Official (PRO) and their organizations. This appendix identifies the process to appoint RMPs for NNSA organizations. RMP appointments will consist of a minimum of a Records Management Field Officer (RMFO) for each NNSA Field Office (FO), a Records Liaison Officer (RLO) for each NNSA Headquarters (HQ) Program Office and Records Management Coordinators (RMC) at a sufficient number to provide adequate RM resources for the organization. The number of RMCs necessary for an organization will vary depending on the number of employees, geographical location, and volume of records created and maintained by the organization. The recommended ratio, for most organizations, is to appoint one RMC for every 30 employees. RMP appointments are processed through the completion and submission of the following form(s):  NNSA F-243.01 – RMFO Appointment & Acknowledgement Form  NNSA F-243.02 – RLO Appointment & Acknowledgement Form  NNSA F-243.03 – RMC Appointment & Acknowledgement Form RMP appointment forms are located on the NNSA Records Management internet site or by submitting a request to the RPO group email NNSARecordsManagement@nnsa.doe.gov Figure 1 illustrates the RMP appointment process, responsibilities, and actions necessary to identify and appoint RMPs.

Consistency allows the RM Program to efficiently incorporate changes in requirements and technology to allow for a sustainable and stable program. The NNSA Records Management Handbook (RMH 243.1) covers the full spectrum of activities from records analysis, inventory, file plans, document naming, folder structure, file cleanout, and disposition. Utilizing the “Implementation and Maintenance” section of RMH 243.1 is strongly recommended but is not required. Organizations that choose not to follow the guidance provided in RMH 243.1 for implementation and maintenance are still required to meet minimum requirements as identified in DOE O 243.1B to include development of organization specific file plans and/or inventories for all hardcopy and electronic information being created and/or maintained by the organization. Organizations must submit their file plans/inventories to the NNSA Program Records Official (PRO) for review and approval on an annual basis. At a minimum file plans/inventories must capture the following information:  Record series title and description for all records created/maintained by the organization  Inclusive dates (beginning and end) for each record series (category)  Location of records to include physical and electronic storage locations  Name(s) of individuals responsible for the record(s)  Access restrictions  Identification of essential (vital) records Figure 2 illustrates the actions required to implement and maintain the NNSA RM Program within each organization.

The Federal Continuity Directive (FCD-1) was developed to provide operational guidance and direction on the development of continuity plans and programs for the federal government in accordance with NSPD-51/HSPD-20. In compliance with these two directives and FCD-1, DOE Order 150.1, Continuity Programs, the DOE/NNSA Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan (hereinafter, the “COOP Plan”) was developed to provide the framework to implement COOP policies, requirements and responsibilities at the Department. The FCD-1 and the COOP Plan identify the protection and ready availability of essential records, databases, and hardcopy documents, needed to support Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs), Mission Essential Functions (MEFs), and Essential Supporting Activities (ESAs) as one of the critical elements in successful continuity planning. Essential records management requirements are defined in 36 CFR 1223, Managing Vital Records, that require federal agencies to develop an essential records program to identify, protect, and manage essential records in compliance with all the elements identified in the FCD- 1, Annex I, Essential Records Management. DOE O 243.1B integrates essential records management requirements with the other required elements of the DOE records management program. Organizations must identify and define the records needed to ensure essential functions and operational responsibilities are continued under security emergency, continuity events, or other emergency conditions and to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and those affected by Government activities. 1. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Essential records include any records required to accomplish essential functions during and after a continuity event, or as part of recovery from a disaster. Essential functions are defined as a subset of government functions and activities that are determined to be critical and must be continued in a continuity situation and in planning for reconstitution. Essential functions are categorized as:

Section 11

a. Mission Essential Functions (MEFs). Limited set of Department and Agency- level government functions that must be continued after a disruption of normal activities. MEFs provide essential services, exercise civil authority, maintain the safety of the general public, and sustain the industrial/economic base during disruption of normal operations. b. Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs). Government functions that must be performed to support or implement the performance of MEFs before, during, Appendix 5 NNSA SD 243.1 AP5-2 09-03-2014 and in the aftermath of a continuity event. c. Essential Supporting Activities (ESAs). Activities performed by an agency or department that support the accomplishment of the Department’s PMEFs and MEFs. 2. ESSENTIAL RECORDS CATEGORIES The majority of records an organization might identify as essential records would be applicable to ESAs and encompass emergency operating records and legal and financial rights records. a. Emergency Operating Records (EOR). Emergency Operating Records (EORs) are specific program records needed to continue the most critical agency operations, as well as related policy or procedural records that assist agency staff in conducting operations under emergency conditions and for resuming normal operations after an emergency. Examples of EORs include:  Emergency plans and directives;  Databases essential for the continued function and/or reconstitution during and after a continuity event;  Orders of succession;  Delegations of authority;  Staffing assignments;  Policies and procedures;  Security clearance rosters;  Office evacuation blueprints and maps for emergency access/egress;  System manuals for critical electronic databases and local area networks (LANs); and  Combinations and/or keys to get into locked areas. b. Legal and Financial Rights Records (LFRR). Legal and Financial Rights Records (LFRRs) are critical to carrying out the essential legal and financial functions, and essential to the protection of the legal and financial rights of individuals who are directly affected by the organization’s activities. These records include those with such value that the loss would significantly impair the execution of essential organization functions to the detriment of the legal or financial rights and entitlements of the organization and the affected individual(s). Examples of LFRRs include:  Accounts receivable files;  Contracting and acquisition files;  Official personnel records; NNSA SD 243.1 Appendix 5 09-03-2014 AP5-3  Social security records;  Payroll records;  Retirement records;  Insurance records; and  Property management and inventory records. 3. REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. a. Records Management Professionals. (1) Coordinate with designated COOP Coordinator/Emergency Management Personnel as applicable to ensure compliance with organization continuity and emergency management requirements. (2) Ensure essential records are identified on file plans/inventories to include locations, access instructions, and any potential access restrictions. (3) Ensure inventory of all essential records is incorporated in the applicable COOP implementation plans and a copy readily available at the Alternate Operating Facility (OAF). (4) Ensure essential records, in all media, are readily available at the AOF through the most efficient and effective means available to include hardcopy originals, duplicates, electronic backups and any equipment necessary for access.

Section 12

(5) Ensure essential records and associated inventories are reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Reviews must be documented to identify the date of the review and the name(s) of personnel conducting the review. b. NNSA Program Records Official. As required by DOE O 243.1B, the NNSA Program Records Official (PRO) will provide a consolidated essential records inventory to the Continuity Program Office and/or Emergency Management Program on an annual basis. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK NNSA SD 243.1 Appendix 6 09-03-2014 AP6-1 APPENDIX 6 - RECORDS MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM Assessments of the NNSA Records Management (RM) Program are required to ensure NNSA records and information assets are adequately identified and protected throughout their lifecycle. The Records Management Assessment Program (RAMP) is designed to provide an evaluation of the records management program to determine effectiveness, efficiency, and compliance with requirements. Assessments provide a baseline of the current state of records management, within a specific area or organization, and provide a roadmap of improvement and/or greater efficiencies for the future. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requires all federal agencies to conduct records management assessments to determine whether they are compliant with statutory and regulatory records management requirements. The results from the government- wide assessment, combined with the agency assessments, provide the necessary data to develop strategies to enhance training, implementation, and continuous improvements. Assessments are conducted by, and applicable to, a number of different organizations and geographical locations. For example, Self-Assessments, Program Assessments, Site Assessments, Departmental Assessments, and External Assessments conducted by external entities such as the Inspector General (IG), Government Accounting Office (GAO), or a NARA conducted assessment. The two assessment methods covered in this appendix are the organization self-assessments performed on an annual basis and scheduled program assessments conducted by the NNSA Program Records Official (PRO). 1. ANNUAL SELF ASSESSMENTS. Self-assessments will be conducted by each organization on an annual basis as part of the implementation and maintenance process described in Appendix 4 of this SD. Self- assessments take the place of the Records Program Office (RPO) validation conducted after initial development and implementation of the records management program by the Records Management Professional (RMP) within their applicable organization(s). Refer to Appendix 4, Figure 2 and Table 3 to depict where self-assessments are required as part of the implementation and maintenance process. Blank self-assessment forms are located on the NNSA Records Management internet site or sending a request to the RPO group email NNSARecordsManagement@nnsa.doe.gov. 2. PROGRAM ASSESSMENTS The NNSA PRO is required to assess records management practices of NNSA HQ and Field Offices (FO) for which they have been assigned oversight responsibility at least every three (3) years. The evaluation(s) of the records management program and practices establish the baseline results to determine compliance with requirements, identify best business practices within the organization, and identify any potential areas of improvement. Appendix 6 NNSA SD 243.1 AP6-2 09-03-2014

Section 13

The PRO will conduct the program assessment based on the process flowchart outlined in Figure 3. The assessment results will be documented and provided to the organization for review and clarification. Once comments are received, the PRO will provide a final report of the findings and any corrective actions. The organization is expected to implement corrective action within the timeframe recommended. Figure 3-NNSA RMAP Process Flow Table 4 provides a description of the high-level actions associated with the NNSA RMAP.
