DOE-STD-1151-2002 viii INTENTIONALLY BLANK DOE-STD-1151-2002 1 FUNCTIONAL AREA FACILITY REPRESENTATIVE PURPOSE The Department’s Federal Technical Capability Program Policy for Defense Nuclear Facilities, DOE P 426.1, issued by the Secretary in December 1998, commits the Department to continuously strive for technical excellence. The Federal Technical Capability Manual, DOE M 426.1-1, describes the Technical Qualification Program, and includes the development and revision of Qualification Standards. In support of this goal, the competency requirements defined in the Technical Qualification Standards should be aligned with and integrated into the recruitment and staffing processes for technical positions. The Technical Qualification Standards should form the primary basis for developing vacancy announcements, qualification requirements, crediting plans, interviewing questions, and other criteria associated with the recruitment, selection, and internal placement of technical personnel. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) minimum qualifications standards will be greatly enhanced by application of appropriate materials from the Functional Area Qualification Standards. This Technical Standard provides criteria and information specific to Facility Representative Functional Area Qualification as defined in the Federal Technical Capability Manual, DOE M 426.1-1. Facility Representative Program specific information is identified in Facility Representatives, DOE-STD-1063-2000. This Technical Qualification Standard is not intended to replace the OPM Qualifications Standards or other Departmental personnel standards, rules, plans, or processes. The primary purpose of the Technical Qualification Program is to ensure that employees have the requisite technical competency to support the mission of the Department. The Technical Qualification Program forms the basis for the development and assignment of DOE personnel responsible for ensuring the safe operation of defense nuclear facilities. APPLICABILITY The Facility Representative Functional Area Qualification Standard establishes common functional area competency requirements for Department of Energy Facility Representative personnel who provide assistance, direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities impacting the safe operation of DOE’s most hazardous facilities. The Facility Representative Functional Area Qualification Standard has been developed as a tool to assist DOE Program and Field offices in the development and implementation of the Technical Qualification Program in their organization. Program and Field Offices with Defense Nuclear Facilities are expected to use this Functional Area Qualification Standard as-is. Program and Field Offices with hazardous facilities that are not Defense Nuclear Facilities are encouraged to use this Functional Area Qualification Standard as is, but may modify or eliminate competencies as necessary. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the competency requirements contained in this Functional Area Qualification Standard ensures that Facility Representative DOE-STD-1151-2002 2 personnel possess the requisite competence to fulfill their functional area duties and responsibilities. Office/Facility-Specific Qualification Standards supplement this Facility Representative Functional Area Qualification Standard and establish unique operational competency requirements at the Field Element, site, or facility level.

IMPLEMENTATION This Functional Area Qualification Standard identifies the technical competency requirements for Facility Representative personnel. Although there are other competency requirements associated with the positions held by Facility Representative personnel, this Functional Area Qualification Standard is limited to identifying the specific technical competencies. The competency statements define the expected knowledge and/or skill that an individual must meet. Each of the competency statements is further explained by a listing of supporting knowledge and/or skill statements. The Federal Employee Training Manual, DOE M 360.1-1B, describes that the supporting knowledge and/or skill statements are provided as guidance to describe the intent of the competency statements. They are not requirements and they do not necessarily have to be fulfilled to meet the intent of the competency. However, to maintain consistency across the DOE complex, all Facility Representative candidates at Defense Nuclear Facilities should demonstrate the knowledge/skill statements in this Standard. The competencies identify a familiarity level, a working level, or an expert level of knowledge; or they require the individual to demonstrate the ability to perform a task or activity. These levels are defined as follows: Familiarity level is defined as basic knowledge of or exposure to the subject or process adequate to discuss the subject or process with individuals of greater knowledge. Working level is defined as the knowledge required to monitor and assess operations/activities, to apply standards of acceptable performance, and to reference appropriate materials and/or expert advice as required to ensure the safety of Departmental activities. Expert level is defined as a comprehensive, intensive knowledge of the subject or process sufficient to provide advice in the absence of procedural guidance. Demonstrate the ability is defined as the actual performance of a task or activity in accordance with policy, procedures, guidelines, and/or accepted industry or Department practices. Headquarters and Field Elements shall establish a program and process to ensure that Facility Representative personnel possess the competencies required of their position. That includes the competencies identified in this Functional Area Qualification Standard or similar Standards developed by the organization. Documentation of the completion of the requirements of the Standard shall be included in the employee's training and qualification record. DOE-STD-1151-2002 3 Equivalencies may be granted for individual competencies based upon an objective evaluation of the employee's prior education, experience, and/or training. Equivalencies shall be granted in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Program or Field Office. The supporting knowledge and/or skill statements, while not requirements, should be considered before granting equivalency for a competency. Training shall be provided to employees in the Technical Qualification Program who do not meet the competencies contained in this Functional Area Qualification Standard. Departmental training will be based upon appropriate supporting knowledge and/or skill statements similar to the ones listed for each of the competency statements. Headquarters and Field Elements should use the supporting knowledge and/or skill statements as a basis for evaluating the content of any training courses used to provide individuals with the requisite knowledge and/or skill required to meet the Functional Area Qualification Standard competency statements.

EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS Attainment of the competencies listed in this Functional Area Qualification Standard should be documented by a qualifying official, immediate supervisor, or the team leader of Facility Representative personnel using any of the following methods: • Documented evaluation of equivalencies • Written examination • Documented oral evaluation • Documented observation of performance REQUALIFICATION, PROFICIENCY, AND CONTINUING TRAINING The guidance and requirements associated with Facility Representative Requalification, Proficiency, and Continuing Training are found in Facility Representatives, DOE-STD-1063- 2000, Section 5.10. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The typical duties and responsibilities expected of personnel assigned to the Facility Representative Functional Area are found in Facility Representatives, DOE-STD-1063-2000, Section 5.2. Position-specific duties and responsibilities for Facility Representative personnel are contained in their Office/Facility-Specific Qualification Standard or Position Description, or other appropriate documentation. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE The education and experience requirements for entry into the Facility Representative Program are found in Facility Representatives, DOE-STD-1063-2000, Section 5.8. DOE-STD-1151-2002 4 REQUIRED TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES The competencies contained in this Standard are distinct from those competencies contained in the General Technical Base Qualification Standard. All Facility Representatives must satisfy the competency requirements of the General Technical Base Qualification Standard prior to or in parallel with the competency requirements contained in this Standard. Each of the competency statements defines the level of expected knowledge and or skill that an individual must posses to meet the intent of this Standard. The supporting knowledge and/or skill statements further describe the intent of the competency statements. Note: When regulations or Department of Energy directives or other industry standards are referenced in the Qualification Standard, the most recent revision should be used. DOE-STD-1151-2002 5 1.
