Emergency Management FAQS
PURPOSE
Section 2
Functional area qualif ication standards (FAQS) establish common performance competencies in
key nuclear facility functional areas for personnel in the DOE Technical Qualif ication Program
(TQP). This FAQS establishes a common set of performance competencies to ensure
designated personnel have the technical competency to perform the duties and responsibilities
of an emergency management oversight professional.
The content of this FAQS should be referenced and used as appropriate to develop vacancy
announcements, interview questions, and other criteria associated with the recruitment,
selection, and internal placement of personnel assigned to this FAQS.
APPLICABILITY
The DOE O 426.1B, Federal Technical Capabilities, requires FAQS to be developed in specific
areas as a tool to assist DOE program and field offices with implementation of their organization
specific TQP. The Emergency Management FAQS establishes common performance
competencies for all DOE personnel who perform emergency management oversight duties and
responsibilities. For ease of transportability of qualif ications between DOE elements, program
and field offices must use this FAQS without modification or addition to the performance
competency knowledge requirements. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the
performance competencies in this FAQS ensures personnel possess the minimum requisite
knowledge and skills to perform emergency management oversight duties and tasks common to
the DOE enterprise. DOE O 426.1B requires organization specific qualif ication standards to
supplement this FAQS and establish unique performance competencies at the organization
(headquarters, f ield element, lab, plant, site, or building) level.
IMPLEMENTATION
This FAQS, derived from an emergency management job task analysis, is comprised of
performance competencies based on task performance. Each performance competency
includes knowledge requirements and any mandatory performance activities (MPAs) that need
to be completed to demonstrate that the performance competency has been met. Evaluation
guides provide the expected level of knowledge that personnel assigned this FAQS must obtain
for each related knowledge requirement. Designated qualifying officials (QO) who are
responsible for verifying the attainment of these knowledge requirements also use the
evaluation guides. The evaluation guides for this FAQS are available through the National
Training Center (NTC) TQP support site at https://ntc.doe.gov/sites/tqp/SitePages/Home.aspx.
https://ntc.doe.gov/sites/tqp/SitePages/Home.aspx
DOE-STD-1177-2024
3
The performance competencies in this FAQS include DOE-unique knowledge requirements that
the candidate must obtain and then apply to specific job tasks that are identif ied as MPAs in this
FAQS. The overall objective of the MPAs is to determine whether an emergency management
professional can apply the related knowledge to satisfactorily perform the associated job task.
This FAQS is comprised of required common emergency management knowledge
competencies followed by appendices with topical area performance competencies. For initial
qualif ication, all federal emergency managers assigned this FAQS must demonstrate attainment
of the knowledge in the “Required Performance Competencies” sections. If any duties change,
supervisors should ensure that the participant is assigned other applicable appendices.
Section 3
The MPAs listed in this FAQS are required to be performed only once. If, during performance of
an MPA, any of the evaluation criteria is not met, the designated QO may require the candidate
to perform the MPA again. In this case, satisfactory completion of the MPA only needs to be
documented once. Some of the MPAs in this FAQS may already be included in an organization-
specific QS. In this case, the designated QO needs to verify the documentation prepared by the
candidate and then document the accommodation as part of this FAQS or during completion of
the organization specific qualif ication standard.
Candidates should perform the MPAs listed in the FAQS in their normal work environment, such
as in assigned facilities or areas where the associated mission work is being accomplished.
Supervisors may use other options to facilitate completion of the MPA requirements in cases
where candidates cannot perform the MPAs exactly as written, such as in their normal work
environment within the required qualif ication timeframe. This could include performance of the
MPA in a simulated environment or by making minor accommodations to the MPA or MPA
evaluation criteria to fit local conditions and limitations as agreed upon by the QO. The reason
for any accommodation in the MPA must be documented by the designated QO and include
approval of the supervisor and local FTCP Agent.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
Attainment of the performance competency knowledge requirements and MPAs listed in this
FAQS must be documented per the TQP plan or policy of the specific organization qualifying the
individual and the requirements in DOE O 426.1B, Federal Technical Capabilities.
Each performance competency includes knowledge requirements or MPAs that need to be
completed to demonstrate that the performance competency has been met. Attainment of the
performance competency knowledge requirements or MPAs listed in this FAQS must be verified by a
designated QO using one (or a combination) of the following methods listed in DOE O 426.1B:
• Satisfactory completion of a written examination.
• Satisfactory completion of an oral evaluation.
• Documented evaluation of equivalencies.
• Completion of approved training courses that confirm attainment of specific knowledge
requirements.
DOE-STD-1177-2024
4
A designated QO must also verify successful completion of the MPAs in this FAQS. The QO
must verify that the evaluation criteria, including any organization specific requirements, were
met during observation of the MPA and/or review of the results of the MPA.
Satisfactory attainment of the performance competency knowledge requirements and MPAs
contained in this FAQS must be documented using the Emergency Management Oversight
FAQS qualif ication card in the electronic Technical Qualif ication Program (eTQP) at
https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov.
After verif ication of attainment of all the performance competency knowledge requirements and
the MPAs in this FAQS, an emergency management candidate must satisfactorily complete the
final qualif ication activity requirements identif ied in DOE O 426.1B and any other applicable
organization specific requirements before being designated as a qualif ied emergency
management professional.
INITIAL QUALIFICATION AND CONTINUING TRAINING
Appendix A, Initial Qualification Training Recommendations, includes a list of NTC and other
training courses that support attainment of the required performance competencies for
emergency management professionals and specialist participants.
Section 4
Appendix B, Continuing Training Recommendations, states that emergency management
personnel must participate in a continuing training and qualif ication program.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Position-specific duties and responsibilities for emergency management are contained in
organization-specific qualif ication standards and position descriptions.
The following are typical duties and responsibilities expected of emergency management
oversight personnel:
• Analyze documents related to emergency management.
• Monitor day-to-day program activities.
• Conduct oversight activities to support periodic contractor performance evaluations.
• Provide subject-matter expertise as requested.
Technical support duties are dependent on the level of subject-matter expertise of the individual
and the needs of the organization and will not be addressed by any performance competencies
in this FAQS. Position-specific duties and responsibilities for emergency management should be
included in other qualif ication standards and position descriptions.

personnel completing initial qualif ication must satisfy the knowledge requirements of the GTB
Part A QS and the knowledge requirements and MPAs in the GTB Part B QS prior to (or in
parallel with) attaining the knowledge requirements for the performance competencies in this
FAQS. Each performance competency defines the expected level of knowledge and
performance an individual must attain to meet the intent of this standard. Each performance
competency is further described by knowledge requirements and, if necessary, MPAs that
describe the task(s) that must be demonstrated to meet the intent of the related performance
competency.
Note 1: When regulations, DOE directives, or other industry standards are referenced in this
FAQS, the most recent revision should be used. However, emergency management FAQS
participants and QOs should also refer to the versions of requirements included in the local
contract during the attainment and verif ication of related knowledge requirements. Any
applicable knowledge requirements in predecessor documents that are not included in this
FAQS should be included in the organization-specific QS or continuing training program.
