The sponsor is responsible for coordinating the development and/or review of this QS by subject matter experts to ensure the technical content of the standard is accurate and adequate for Department-wide application for those involved in the program. The sponsor, in coordination with the FTCP Panel, is also responsible for ensuring this qualification standard is maintained current. The following subject matter experts participated in the development and/or review of Part A, Knowledge Requirements, of the GTB QS: James O’Brien AU-30 Rex Borders NA-SH-50 Donald Brady SFO Kim Delman NA-SH-50 Stephen Domotor AU-20 Jody Eggleston NA-SH-50 Joseph Robbins NA-GC William Schleyer NA-SH-50 David Chaney NA-SH-50 Earl Hughes AU-32 Patricia Worthington AU-10 Jeanette Yarrington AU-10 The following subject matter experts participated in the development and/or review of Part B, Oversight Performance, of the GTB QS: Albert MacDougall EA-50 Mary Helen Hitson NA-NPO Michael Berkenbile EM-RL Dennis Yates EM-SRS Karl Moro SC-Chicago Kermit Bunde NE-ID Ralph Garcia EA-22 Jeff Snook EA-31 DOE-STD-1146-2017 1 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY GENERAL TECHNICAL BASE QUALIFICATION STANDARD PURPOSE The primary purpose of the Technical Qualification Program (TQP) is to ensure employees have the requisite technical competency to support the mission of the Department. The TQP forms the basis for the development and assignment of DOE personnel responsible for ensuring the safe operation of defense nuclear facilities. The technical qualification standards are not intended to replace the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualifications standards or other departmental personnel standards, rules, plans, or processes. However, the technical qualification standards should form the primary basis for developing vacancy announcements, qualification requirements, crediting plans, interview questions, and other criteria associated with the recruitment, selection, and internal placement of technical personnel. This General Technical Base (GTB) Qualification Standard (QS) includes two parts. The GTB Part A, Knowledge Requirements (referred to as GTB Part A) is intended to provide a common base of DOE specific technical knowledge that is needed for further functional area qualifications within the TQP. The GTB Part B, Oversight Performance, (referred to as GTB Part B), establishes performance competencies for conducting oversight duties and tasks that are common across all the functional areas within the TQP. Therefore, GTB Part B includes mandatory performance activities (MPAs) that must be completed to demonstrate the satisfactory performance of common oversight tasks. GTB PART A, KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABILITY The GTB Part A establishes common technical competencies for all DOE personnel who provide assistance, direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities that could impact the safe operation of DOE’s defense nuclear facilities. GTB Part A has been developed as a tool to assist DOE Program and Field Offices in the development and implementation of the TQP in their organization. It is intended to provide a common knowledge base for further functional area qualifications.

For ease of transportability of qualifications between DOE elements, Program and Field Offices must use this qualification standard without modification or addition to technical competency statements and supporting knowledge requirements. Needed additional office/site/facility specific technical competencies should be handled separately. It should be noted that technical competencies related to management and leadership, general technical knowledge, regulations, departmental requirements and program implementation, administrative capability, and oversight are embodied in the competencies in this standard. All these factors have a bearing on safety. Although the focus of this standard is technical competence, good communication, recognized credibility, ability to listen and process information, and the ability to guide an effort to get it right the first time are recognized as important competencies impacting safety. DOE-STD-1146-2017 2 IMPLEMENTATION The technical competencies in the GTB Part A provide a base level of technical knowledge across a broad range of topics for DOE personnel in the TQP. The technical competencies include supporting knowledge requirements that are intended to provide exposure to the subject or process adequate to discuss the subject or process with individuals of greater knowledge. Functional Area Qualification Standards (FAQS) build on this broad level of knowledge in specific topics and include unique performance tasks. Since oversight tasks are common to all DOE personnel in the TQP additional knowledge and MPAs related to oversight are addressed in the GTB Part B. The term “must” denotes a mandatory requirement, “should” denotes a recommended practice that is not required, and “may” denotes an option in this standard. Headquarters and field elements must establish a program and process to ensure DOE personnel possess the competencies required by their position and the technical competencies identified in this qualification standard. Documentation of the completion of supporting knowledge requirements for the technical competencies in GTB Part A must be included in the employees’ training and qualification records. Training must be provided to employees in the TQP who do not have the technical competencies identified in this FAQS. The DOE NTC has developed a computer based online training course, SAF-101DE, GTB Part A that covers all the supporting knowledge requirements in this qualification standard and includes knowledge checks for each of the related technical competencies. This training is found on the NTC website at http://ntc.doe.gov. Managers and personnel should use the online training course, SAF-101DE, to support obtainment of the technical competencies in this QS. However, supervisors may identify additional training as needed to support completion of this QS. EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS Attainment of the technical competencies listed in this qualification standard must be documented in accordance with the TQP plan or policy of the site/office/headquarters organization qualifying the individual and the requirements in DOE O 360.1C, Federal Employee Training, and DOE O 426.1A, Federal Technical Capability Program. The FTCP Panel (referred to as the Panel) has determined that satisfactory completion of individual sections of SAF- 101DE meets the intent of a written test to demonstrate completion of the supporting knowledge requirements for the technical competencies in this QS. The completion of supporting knowledge requirements contained in this QS should be documented using the GTB Part A, Knowledge Requirements, Qualification Card in the Electronic Technical Qualification Program at https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov. Qualifying officials may sign off each technical competency separately based on satisfactory completion of the individual sections of the GTB Part A online training course or sign off the entire qualification card based on satisfactory completion of the entire GTB Part A online training course.

Field element managers/headquarters program managers must qualify candidates as possessing the technical competencies in this QS. Therefore, depending on the experience and knowledge of each TQP candidate the qualifying official or supervisor may determine that written or oral examinations in additional to completion of the GTB Part A online course are needed prior to signing off individual technical competencies or the entire GTB Part A qualification card. http://ntc.doe.gov/ file:///C:/Users/uc95t353/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/IHG3Q7G2/in https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov/ DOE-STD-1146-2017 3 INITIAL QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING Qualification of personnel to the GTB Part A QS must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of DOE O 426.1A, Federal Technical Capability Program. There are no continuing training requirements associated with the GTB Part A QS. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES There are no duties or responsibilities associated with the GTB Part A QS. BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE There are no background or experience recommendations associated with the GTB Part A QS. REQUIRED TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES Each technical competency includes the specific knowledge an individual must possess to meet the intent of this qualification standard. The level of expected knowledge for each technical competency statement is described by supporting knowledge requirements. Note: When regulations, DOE directives, or other industry standards are referenced in this standard, the most recent revision should be used. It is recognized that some TQP personnel may oversee facilities that utilize predecessor documents to those identified. In those cases, such documents should be included in local qualification standards. NUCLEAR FUNDAMENTALS 1. Personnel shall demonstrate knowledge of basic nuclear theory and principles.

DOE-STD-1146-2017 17 GTB PART B, OVERSIGHT PERFORMANCE APPLICABILITY The GTB Part B QS establishes common performance competencies for all DOE personnel who provide assistance, direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities that could impact the safe and secure operation of DOE’s defense nuclear facilities. This QS has been developed as a tool to assist DOE Program and Field Offices in the development and implementation of the TQP in their respective organizations. GTB Part B is intended to be completed following completion of GTB Part A for all new TQP candidates. GTB Part B is not required for currently qualified staff.

For ease of transportability of qualifications between DOE elements, Program and Field Offices must use the GTB Part B without modification or addition to the performance competency supporting knowledge requirements. Additionally, to encourage transportability, Program and Field Offices should complete the MPAs in this QS without modification. However, in some situations, modifications to the MPAs may be needed to reflect local practices. For example, supervisors may determine that some of the MPAs in GTB Part B are not applicable to personnel in support or matrix roles. In these situations supervisors should determine and document completion of appropriate activities based on the individuals specific oversight duties and responsibilities. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the performance competencies contained in GTB Part B ensures personnel possess the knowledge and skills to fulfill fundamental oversight duties and responsibilities common to the DOE enterprise. Additionally, needed office-/site-/facility-specific qualification standards, handled separately, supplement this QS and establish unique performance competencies at the headquarters or field element, site, or facility level. IMPLEMENTATION The tasks and supporting knowledge requirements covered in the GTB Part B were derived from the NTC oversight curriculum process map that was initially developed through a job task analysis conducted with input from several DOE and NNSA sites. Representatives from DOE program offices validated the NTC oversight curriculum process map and grouped the tasks into the performance competencies included in this QS. Appendix B is a crosswalk of the tasks in the oversight curriculum process map to the performance competencies and related MPAs in GTB Part B. Since the GTB Part B was developed to address fundamental oversight tasks some higher level performance competencies such as developing program measures, oversight data analysis and trending, and conducting corrective action effectiveness reviews will be incorporated into appropriate Functional Areas Qualification Standards (FAQS). Each performance competency includes supporting knowledge requirements and any MPAs that need to be completed in order to demonstrate the performance competency has been met. The NTC has developed an oversight performance qualification evaluation guide that is available for personnel assigned the GTB Part B and qualifying officials responsible for verifying the obtainment of required performance competencies. The oversight performance qualification evaluation guide provides the expected level of knowledge for each of the supporting knowledge requirements. Local terminology and procedures should be used as appropriate when addressing the supporting knowledge requirements in the GTB Part B. DOE-STD-1146-2017 18 Personnel are required to complete the MPAs in the GTB Part B in the primary functional area 1they are assigned oversight responsibilities. For example, a person assigned the Nuclear Safety Specialist FAQS and who is responsible for oversight of the nuclear safety basis program should perform the MPAs in this QS during oversight of the implementation of the safety basis program. Since technical knowledge in an assigned functional area is necessary to complete the MPAs in this QS, personnel should complete applicable competencies in their primary FAQS prior to performing the MPAs in GTB Part B. Personnel assigned oversight responsibilities in several functional areas may be assigned more than one FAQS or site/program-specific qualification standard. However, they are only required to complete the MPAs in the GTB Part B one time in any of the functional areas they are assigned oversight responsibilities.

The GTB Part B includes evaluation requirements that describe the general criteria for successfully demonstrating completion of each MPA. MPA evaluation checklists will be developed by the NTC that provide more detailed criteria for successfully completing the MPA evaluation requirements. These MPA evaluation checklists will be available for qualifying officials and/or supervisors to verify and document satisfactory completion of the MPAs. The MPA evaluation checklists may be modified locally to include local terminology and performance expectations for the MPAs. The NTC evaluation guides and MPA evaluation checklists are available through the NTC TQP support site at: https://ntc.doe.gov/student/stp/techqualprogram. Equivalencies should be used sparingly and with the utmost rigor and scrutiny to maintain the spirit and intent of the TQP. Equivalencies may be granted for individual performance competencies or supporting knowledge requirements and/or MPAs based on objective evidence of previous experience. Examples of objective evidence for completing equivalencies includes a combination of transcripts, certifications, job history, work products, and in some cases, a knowledge sampling obtained through written and/or oral examinations. Equivalencies must be granted in accordance with the TQP plan of the site/office/headquarters organization qualifying the individual. All the supporting knowledge requirements and any MPAs should be met before granting an equivalency for an entire performance competency. EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS Completion of performance competency knowledge requirements and MPAs listed in the GTB Part B must be documented in accordance with the TQP plan or policy of the site/office/headquarters organization qualifying the individual and the requirements in DOE O 360.1C, Federal Employee Training, and DOE O 426.1A, Federal Technical Capability Program. 1 The term functional area includes the broad areas of environment, safety, security, health and business and financial systems listed in DOE Policy 226.2, Policy for Federal Oversight and Contractor Assurance Systems and the operational aspects of environment, safety, and health; safeguards and security; cyber security; and emergency management included in the scope of DOE O 226.1B, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy. For example, functional areas would include safety management programs such as conduct of operations and maintenance, topical areas in safeguards and security such as information and physical security, safety management systems such as integrated safety management and quality assurance, program areas such as waste management and worker safety and health, and mission specific programs implemented by the various DOE program offices. https://ntc.doe.gov/student/stp/techqualprogram DOE-STD-1146-2017 19 Supervisory verification of obtainment of all performance competencies, in accordance with the TQP plan or policy of the site/office/headquarters organization, satisfies final qualification requirements for the GTB Part B. It is preferred that personnel are given opportunities to demonstrate completion of the MPAs in an actual work setting in the specific functional area to which they are assigned oversight responsibilities. The MPA evaluation checklists are available for QOs/supervisors to use to document satisfactory completion of each MPA during site-specific oversight activities. At a minimum, candidates must demonstrate satisfactory completion of each MPA at least once.

Personnel attending the NTC instructor-led oversight courses will be evaluated on their ability to satisfactorily perform all the MPAs identified in this QS in a training environment that closely models an actual work setting. The course instructors will use the MPA evaluation checklists to document the satisfactory completion of the MPAs addressed in the specific course. In cases where there may be limited opportunities to perform the identified MPAs in an actual work setting within the required qualification timeframe, supervisors have the option of using satisfactory completion of the MPAs in the simulated classroom environment to demonstrate completion of the related MPA. INITIAL QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING Qualification of DOE oversight personnel must be conducted in accordance with the Requirements of DOE O 426.1A, Federal Technical Capability Program. Headquarters and field elements must establish a program and process to ensure DOE personnel possess the needed knowledge and skills to meet the performance competencies identified in GTB Part B. Documentation of the obtainment of the performance competencies in this QS must be included in the employee’s training and qualification records. Satisfactory attainment of performance competencies contained in this QS should be documented using the GTB Part B QS in the Electronic Technical Qualification Program at https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov. Training must be provided to employees in the TQP who do not meet the performance competencies contained in GTB Part B. Training may include, but is not limited to, formal classroom and computer-based courses, self-study, mentoring, on-the-job training, and special assignments. Departmental training must be based on the knowledge requirements and performance of specific job tasks related to each performance competency statement. Headquarters and field elements should use the performance competency knowledge requirements as a basis for evaluating the content of any training. The NTC has developed a comprehensive oversight curriculum to support the qualification and training of DOE oversight personnel. The oversight curriculum provides a standardized method for personnel to obtain the supporting knowledge requirements and perform the MPAs for each performance competency in this QS. Information on the oversight curricula is available on the NTC website at https://ntc.doe.gov. The use of the NTC oversight curricula is encouraged to provide personnel across the Department with a standardized level of oversight knowledge and performance. DOE oversight personnel should maintain proficiency in the performance of oversight tasks identified in this QS through satisfactory performance of normally assigned oversight job tasks. For tasks that are infrequently performed or where there are no site-specific opportunities for actual performance, personnel may use exercises conducted by the NTC during formal file:///C:/Users/uc95t353/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/IHG3Q7G2/in https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov/ https://ntc.doe.gov/ DOE-STD-1146-2017 20 classroom training or use locally developed exercises as part of continuing training to maintain proficiency. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The GTB Part B addresses the common oversight duties and responsibilities associated with line management oversight of DOE mission work. The oversight tasks and related knowledge requirements and MPAs were derived from the NTC oversight curriculum process map and validated by team of subject matter expects representing all DOE program offices. Location specific duties and responsibilities for DOE oversight personnel are contained in office, site, or facility-specific qualification standards and/or position descriptions. A crosswalk of the oversight tasks to the Performance Competencies and MPAs in this QS is included in Appendix B. BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE There are no background or experience recommendations associated with the GTB Part B. The GTB Part B was designed to be completed following or in parallel with completion of any assigned functional area or other qualification standard which may have specific education and or experience requirements. REQUIRED PERFORMANCE COMPETENCIES The performance competencies contained in this standard include supporting knowledge requirements that are distinct from knowledge requirements contained in the GTB Part A. Also the performance competencies in this QS build on the knowledge requirements contained in competency 24, Oversight, of the GTB Part A. Therefore, all DOE oversight personnel should complete the GTB Part A prior being assigned the GTB Part B. Since technical knowledge in an assigned functional or program area is necessary to complete the MPAs in this QS, personnel should also complete applicable competencies in their assigned FAQS prior to performing the MPAs in the GTB Part B. Each performance competency defines the expected level of knowledge and performance an individual must possess to meet the intent of this standard. Each performance competency is further described by supporting knowledge requirements, and if necessary mandatory performance activities, that describe the task(s) that must be demonstrated to meet the intent of the related performance competency.
