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 explosives safety oversight professional. This FAQS should be referenced and used to develop vacancy announcements, interview questions, and other criteria associated with the recruitment, selection, and internal placement of personnel who are assigned this FAQS. APPLICABILITY The DOE Order (O) 426.1, Department of Energy Federal Technical Capabilities, requires FAQS to be developed in specific areas as a tool. FAQS documents assist DOE Program and Field Offices with implementation of their organization specific TQP. The Explosives Safety FAQS establishes common performance competencies for all DOE personnel who perform explosives safety oversight duties and responsibilities. Program and Field Offices must use this FAQS without modification or addition to the performance competency knowledge requirements. Consistently using FAQS allows DOE elements to easily transfer the qualifications listed here. Personnel who complete the competencies in this FAQS demonstrate that they possess the minimum knowledge and skills for DOE's explosive safety duties. The FAQS list serves as documentation of their skill.

DOE O 426.1 requires organization-specific qualification standards to supplement this FAQS and establish unique performance competencies at the organization (headquarters, field element, site, or facility) level. IMPLEMENTATION This FAQS is derived from an Explosives Safety Job Task Analysis (JTA). It 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 in order to demonstrate the performance competency has been met. Evaluation guides have been developed that provide the expected level of knowledge that personnel assigned this FAQS must obtain for each related knowledge requirement and for designated qualifying officials (QOs), who are responsible for verifying the attainment of these DOE-STD-8002-2023 2 knowledge requirements. The evaluation guides for this FAQS are available through the National Training Center (NTC) TQP support site at: https://ntc.doe.gov/sites/tqp/tqpportal/TechnicalQualificationResources/Forms/Resources.asp x. Equivalencies should be used sparingly and with the utmost scrutiny to maintain the intent of the TQP. Equivalencies may be granted for individual competencies based on objective evidence of previous education, training, certification, or experience. Objective evidence includes a combination of transcripts, certifications, and (in some cases) a knowledge sampling through a written and/or oral examination. Equivalencies shall be granted in accordance with the TQP plan of the site/office/Headquarters organization qualifying the individual. When competencies are evaluated by a QO or immediate supervisor who is not qualified in this FAQS, an individual who is qualified in the FAQS should be consulted before equivalencies are granted. For all equivalencies, the supporting knowledge and/or skill statements and mandatory performance activities should be considered before granting equivalency for a competency. The performance competencies in this FAQS include DOE-unique knowledge requirements. The participant must obtain and then apply these requirements to specific job tasks that are identified as MPAs in this FAQS. The overall objective of the MPAs is to determine whether an explosives safety subject matter expert (SME) can apply the knowledge to satisfactorily perform the associated job task. This FAQS is comprised of required common explosives safety SME knowledge competencies with topical area performance competencies. For initial qualification, all Federal explosives safety SMEs assigned this FAQS must demonstrate attainment of the knowledge in the “Required Performance Competencies” section. If any duties change, supervisors should follow the requirements in DOE Order 426.1 to determine if the participant may be assigned any other applicable technical qualification standards. The MPAs listed in this FAQS must be satisfactorily performed only once. If any of the evaluation criteria are not satisfactorily met during a performance of the MPA, the designated QO may require the participant to perform the MPA again. In these cases, satisfactory completion of the MPA only needs to be documented once. Some of the MPAs in this FAQS may already be included in organization-specific qualification standards. In these cases, the designated QO needs to verify the documentation prepared by the participant then document the accommodation as a part of this FAQS or during completion of the organization-specific qualification standard.

Participants should perform the MPAs listed in the FAQS in their normal work environment. In cases where participants cannot perform the MPAs exactly as written in their normal work environment, supervisors may use other options to facilitate completion of the MPA requirements within the required timeframe. This could include performance of the MPA in a simulated environment or 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 accommodations in the MPA must be documented by the designated QO with approval of the supervisor and local Federal Technical Capabilities Panel (FTCP) agent. https://ntc.doe.gov/sites/tqp/tqpportal/TechnicalQualificationResources/Forms/Resources.aspx https://ntc.doe.gov/sites/tqp/tqpportal/TechnicalQualificationResources/Forms/Resources.aspx DOE-STD-8002-2023 3 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 426.1, DOE Federal Technical Capabilities. Each performance competency includes knowledge requirements or MPAs that need to be completed in order to demonstrate 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 or the following methods listed in DOE O 426.1: • Documented evaluation of equivalencies • Completion of approved training courses (see Appendix A) that confirm attainment of specific knowledge requirements 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 satisfactorily 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 explosives safety SME FAQS qualification card in the electronic Technical Qualification Program (eTQP) at https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov. After verification that all the performance competency knowledge requirements and the MPAs in this FAQS have been attained, an explosives safety SME participant must satisfactorily complete the final qualification activity requirements identified in DOE O 426.1 and any other applicable organization-specific requirements before being designated as a qualified explosives safety SME. INITIAL QUALIFICATION AND CONTINUING TRAINING Appendix A, Initial Qualification Training Recommendations, includes a list of National Training Center (NTC) and other training courses that support attainment of the required performance competencies for explosives safety SME and specialist participants. Appendix B, Continuing Training Recommendations, states that explosives safety SME personnel shall participate in a continuing training and qualification program. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Position-specific duties and responsibilities for the explosives safety SME are contained in organization-specific qualification standards and position descriptions. The following are typical duties and responsibilities expected of the explosives safety SME: • Analyze documents related to explosives safety; https://etqp.ntc.doe.gov/ DOE-STD-8002-2023 4

• Monitor day-to-day program activities; • Support DOE/National Nuclear Security Administration Explosives Safety Committee (NNSA ESC) responsibilities; • Conduct oversight activities to support periodic contractor performance evaluations; • Provide subject-matter expertise as requested. BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE The knowledge requirements and MPAs identified in the FAQS were based on the assumption that participants have the preferred education and experience level identified below. Based on input from the supervisor and QO, personnel assigned to complete this FAQS may need additional developmental assignments and training. The preferred education and experience for an explosives safety SME are as follows: 1. Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a science-related field. An advanced technical degree and/or a specialization in energetics is considered an advantage. And/or 2. Experience: Industrial, military, Federal, state, or other directly related background that has provided specialized experience in explosives safety or operations. Specialized experience can be demonstrated through possession of the competencies outlined in this standard. REQUIRED PERFORMANCE COMPETENCIES The performance competencies contained in this FAQS include knowledge requirements that are in addition to (and distinct from) the knowledge requirements contained in the General Technical Base (GTB) Part A and B Qualification Standard (QS). All explosives safety SME personnel completing initial qualifications 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 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 broken into 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, use the most recent revision. However, explosives safety SME FAQS participants and QOs should also refer to the versions of requirements included in the local contract during the attainment and verification 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.
