Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration P.O. Box 5400 Albuquerque, NM 87185 June 27, 2018 MEMORANDUM FOR JEFFREY FEIT OFFICE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE & NUCLEAR SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY FROM: DANIEL SIGG ~\ DEPUTY ASSOCIATE ADMINISTRATOR FOR SAFETY~ SUBJECT: Proposed Cancellation ofDOE-STD-1158-2010, Self­ Assessment Standard for Department ofEnergy (DOE) Contractor Criticality Safety Programs The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Safety submits DOE­ STD-1158-2010, Self-Assessment Standard for Department ofEnergy (DOE) Contractor Criticality Safety Programs, for cancellation in the RevCom system for the Technical Standards Program. DOE-STD-1158-2010 is a reference document and does not contain requirements that need to be made mandatory via DOE regulatory or contractual prov1s10ns. The standard contains generic lines of inquiry that can be used by Federal and contractor criticality safety practitioners to assess criticality safety programs performance against ANSI/ ANS-8.19-2005, Administrative Practices for Nuclear Criticality Safety. While retaining this information would be useful, DOE-STD-1158-2010 does not meet the criteria for a DOE standard as specified in Appendix A ofDOE O 252. lA. Specifically, the Standard does not: • provide specific standardized approaches, methodologies, technical criteria, or other information on accomplishing a task, developing a plan, and/or performing a calculation or assessment to implement a DOE requirement; nor • provide a common shared approach or methodology for implementing a DOE requirement such that its implementation is consistent across DOE programs and operations. The point of contact for this document is Lawrence J. Berg, NNSA Office ofNuclear Safety Services. Mr. Berg can be reached at (301) 903-0125 or via email at larry.berg@nnsa.doe.gov.
