The Appendices contain the references, definitions, a flowchart depicting safety management functions and authorities, and acronyms. 5. REQUIREMENTS. This NNSA Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual (NNSA FRAM) defines NNSA expectations regarding organizational accountability for safety management. These expectations are derived from Department of Energy (DOE) directives and NNSA Supplemental Directives (listed in Appendix A), DOE M 411.1C, Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual (DOE FRAM), and other assignments and delegations made by the Administrator. Some of the functions and authorities delineated in the NNSA FRAM may be delegated within respective organizations and to other NNSA organizations where permitted, with the noted exceptions for those of the Administrator and the Principal Deputy Administrator. Delegations to non-NNSA entities or substantive changes to FRAM functions require approval from the Administrator.

Section 2

DOE M 411.1-1C requires that Under Secretaries and Secretarial Officers develop their own FRAMs. This NNSA FRAM meets that requirement for NA-10 and NA-20. NNSA managers assigned safety management functions, responsibilities, or authorities in the NNSA FRAM must develop implementing processes for their assigned safety management functions. The NNSA FRAM must be maintained and updated as necessary. 6. CONTACT.

D-1 NA-1 SD 411.1-1C 1 02-15-08 1.0 INTRODUCTION The National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual (FRAM) assigns responsibilities that are established by the Department of Energy (DOE) Directives System (Policies, Orders, Manuals, Notices), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Federal Statutes, Acts, Executive Orders, and other authorities. It complies with the Secretary’s direction concerning safety management responsibilities, assigns safety responsibilities and authorities in the DOE FRAM, DOE M 411.1-1C, Safety Management Functions, Responsibilities and Authorities Manual to NNSA officials, and documents NNSA’s roles and responsibilities in implementing safety management.

Section 3

Safety is managed through: a. promulgating and implementing safety requirements through policy statements, Federal rules, DOE Orders, Manuals, NNSA Supplemental Directives, and lower-tier documents; b. ensuring proper implementation of requirements through DOE/NNSA oversight activities; c. other supporting activities that establish or maintain safety capabilities, such as training and qualification, lessons learned, and corrective action implementation; d. embracing internal and external assessments so that continuous improvement can be realized; and e. clearly delineating and maintaining lines of responsibility. NNSA is responsible and accountable for planning, implementation, and assessment of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship program and nuclear nonproliferation activities. To accomplish NNSA’s mission, the safety management functions, responsibilities, and authorities for protecting the public and the environment and for ensuring the health, safety, and security of workers are founded upon the Integrated Safety Management (ISM) Guiding Principles and Core Functions. While considering the seven Guiding Principles of ISM, several assumptions were used in developing this FRAM that form the basis of NNSA’s safety management approach to its mission, including work to maintain a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile. These assumptions are: 1. Development of the budget is part of the process that balances priorities among environment, safety, security, and program needs. The budget formulation and execution functions will be integrated at Headquarters (HQ). All NNSA offices will be involved in budget formulation and content. 2. All legal requirements for environment, safety, and health (ES&H) and regulatory compliance must be met. 2 NA-1 SD 411.1-1C 02-15-08 3. The NNSA Program Offices have the authority, and are accountable, for defining and managing all program work, establishing funding priorities, and setting performance objectives for the complex’s weapons programs and nuclear nonproliferation activities. 4. Federal oversight will be accomplished as close to the work as practical and as required by DOE O 226.1A, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, and the NNSA FRAM. 5. Responsibility is retained by the delegator, and authority may be delegated to the extent feasible, based upon the delegator’s discretion that the delegate has the capability to accomplish the task. Overall safety of NNSA sites and activities comprises two elements: nuclear safety and ES&H, which are defined in Appendix B. The NNSA Administrator has delegated most of the line management responsibility for ES&H to the field and to the Program Offices, but retains accountability and provides management oversight (see Appendix C, Safety Management Functions and Authorities). However, in the case of nuclear safety, physical security, and cyber security, the Administrator has retained the line management responsibility for establishing policy and requirements and has delegated the responsibility for implementing standards to the field and programmatic level.

Section 4

Each organization within NNSA must establish and document how the specific functions and authorities assigned in this FRAM and DOE M 411.1-1C, the DOE FRAM, are properly discharged. These implementing processes or business operating plans must capture the safety management functions and authorities necessary to comply with DOE P 111.1, Departmental Organization Management System, and other DOE directives, government agency regulations, and safety management mechanisms. They also describe the organization and its line management and clearly identify any authority that has been transferred to or from another organization. The format of these implementing processes is not prescribed so that each organization may develop a format most suitable and effective for its needs. Finally, when developing implementing processes for FRAM responsibilities, each office should review Section 4.0, Line Management Responsibilities, and other sections, such as Section 4.1 on the Administrator, that may impact its work. 2.0 SCOPE The NNSA Safety Management FRAM applies to all NNSA organizational elements, with the exception of the Naval Reactors Program. For projects subject to external regulations, those regulations take precedence. For example, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, applies to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-licensed facilities, while 10 CFR Part 830 Subpart A, Quality Assurance Requirements, applies to nuclear facilities that are not licensed by the NRC. This FRAM assigns safety management functions, responsibilities, and authorities that have been established by the DOE FRAM and the Administrator. NA-1 SD 411.1-1C 3 02-15-08 3.0 CHANGE CONTROL This document is a Manual in the NNSA Supplemental Directives System and will be updated when NNSA alters its organizational responsibilities or as otherwise required. The FRAM will be posted on the NNSA website at http://www.nnsa.doe.gov/docs/reports. 4.0 NNSA LINE MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES NNSA HQ’s interface with the field is the Field Element Manager. Within NNSA, the Field Element Managers are usually the Site Office Managers; sometimes this term can also refer to the Service Center Director. This interface for program matters, including nuclear safety and ES&H, operates through the appropriate Deputy Administrator. Additional interfaces exist, as necessary or required, in the Office of the Administrator and, specifically, the Principal Deputy Administrator, Central Technical Authority (CTA), the Senior ES&H Advisor, and the Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety (CDNS). Safety management responsibility for work done by DOE and other non-NNSA tenants remains with NNSA line management. All work done at a site, therefore, must be performed within the safety envelope approved by the Site Office Manager or Service Center Director. While shutdown authority rests with all Federal personnel if a clear and present danger exists, it resides chiefly with the Site Office Manager or Service Center Director in other situations. NNSA HQ develops policy with input from the field and provides guidance to the field. NNSA HQ ensures that strategies, plans, and operations for implementing its programs are coordinated, integrated, and consistent with the NNSA Strategic Plan, policies, and priorities. NNSA HQ personnel perform line management functions that provide ongoing and continuous interactions with the Site Office Managers and the Service Center Director regarding mission-related work, commitments, and resource allocations.

The state of being liable for explanation to a superior NNSA official for the exercise of authority. Ultimate accountability is to the Secretary, who may delegate authority or share responsibility for specified actions. The person receiving the authority is accountable to the delegator for the proper and diligent exercise of that authority. Responsibility differs from accountability in that a responsible official "owns" the function for which he or she is responsible; it is an integral part of his or her duties to see that the function is properly executed, to establish criteria for the judgment of excellence in its execution, and to strive for continuous improvement in that execution. A responsible official is associated with the outcomes of the exercise of authority, whether it was delegated or whether the delegate properly followed guidance. Accountability, on the other hand, involves the acceptance of the authority for execution (or for further delegation of components of execution) by using guidance and criteria established by the responsible authority. Authority. The permission afforded by law, regulation, directive, or delegated by NNSA Senior Management enabling an NNSA employee to perform a function or reach and implement a decision. Contracting Officer. A DOE official holding the authority to make purchases or contract for goods and services in excess of $25,000. Contracting officers are appointed using Standard Form 1402, following procedures in DOE O 541.1B, Appointment of Contracting Officers and Contracting Officer Representatives. Delegation. Written permission, granted by a responsible authority to another NNSA employee, to perform a specific function on behalf of that responsible authority, usually containing guidance on the manner in which the authority is to be used. By delegation, the responsible authority cannot diminish his or her responsibility for the consequences of the exercise of the authority. ES&H. See definition under “Safety” below. Function. An action or activity undertaken by an NNSA employee in performing or contributing to the performance of work in compliance with component 3 of DOE P 450.4, Safety Management Policy. This component defines five core functions for integrated safety management, each of which includes several derivative functions that are to be applied with a degree of rigor appropriate to the type of activity and hazards involved.

Section 29

Line Management. DOE line management refers to the management chain with responsibility for the site. This chain typically extends from the responsible site organization (e.g., site office or field office) to the responsible program office through the Under Secretary and ultimately to the Deputy Secretary and Secretary of Energy. It pertains to the NNSA Site Office or Headquarters element manager who has direct responsibilities for protection of employees, the public, and the environment at the NNSA facility or operation. The line manager is directly responsible for developing, approving (when delegated such authority by NA-1 or the CTA), planning, implementing, tracking, and reporting corrective actions. The cognizant line manager B-2 NA-1 SD 411.1-1C 02-15-08 is also responsible for initiating action to elevate issues to a higher authority for resolution when necessary. Nuclear Safety. For the purposes of this Manual, nuclear safety is defined broadly to include facilities and activities, nuclear explosive safety, and programs that require controls to ensure adequate protection of workers, the public, and the environment from exposure to ionizing radiation or radiological materials. These facilities, activities, and programs are subject to the nuclear safety management rule (10 CFR Part 830). Responsibility. The state of being liable for the outcome of the exercise of an authority granted by law, regulation, or directive. Safety. The term “safety” is used synonymously with environment, safety, and health (ES&H) to encompass protection of the public, the workers, and the environment. Safety is a dynamic non-event; a stable outcome produced by constant adjustments to system parameters. To achieve stability, change in one system parameter must be compensated for by changes in other parameters, through a process of continuous mutual adjustment. Safety Management Function. An activity that may affect the safety and health of workers, the public, or protection of the environment [DOE P 450.4]. Safety Management Systems. Provide a formal, organized process whereby employees plan, perform, assess, and improve the safe conduct of work. The Safety Management System is institutionalized through DOE directives and contracts to establish the Department-wide safety management objectives, guiding principles, and core functions. The Safety Management System consists of six components: (1) objectives, (2) guiding principles, (3) core functions, (4) mechanisms, (5) responsibilities, and (6) implementation. These are explained in detail in DOE P 450.4, Safety Management Systems, and their implementations are outlined in the associated Guides. Senior Procurement Executive. The Director of Acquisition and Supply Management is responsible for ensuring that each member of the acquisition workforce is certified to the career level appropriate to the grade they occupy or to their responsibilities, in accordance with DOE O 361.1A. Site Office. The NNSA organization, located at a given site, having responsibility for directing and conducting oversight of contractor operations associated with that site. Site Office Manager. The NNSA employee who has overall responsibility for a Site Office. The Site Office Manager usually serves as the formal contracting officer for the contracts at the site.
