FAQS Streamlining Working Group Evaluation Results Al MacDougall DOE National Training Center (EA-50) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) Working Group Team Members ■ Jim Todd – NNSA – SFO ■ Karl Moro – SC – Chicago ISC ■ Ted Pietrok – SC – PNSO ■ Mark Brown – EM – ID ■ Brian Stickney – EM – RL FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 2 FAQS Evaluated ■ Technical Program Manager – DOE-STD-1178-2004 ■ Deactivation and Decommissioning (D&D) – DOE-STD-1166-2003 ■ Environmental Compliance (EC) – DOE-STD-1156-2011 ■ Environmental Restoration (ER) – DOE-STD-1157-2002 ■ Waste Management (WM) – DOE-STD-1159-2003 FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 3 Evaluation Criteria 1. Functional Area integral to safety of typical nuclear facilities ▪ Functional areas included in DOE Guide 226.1 Line Management Oversight of DOE Nuclear Facilities ▪ Safety Management Programs identified in 10 CFR 830 DSA Safe Harbors ▪ Safety Management Programs identified in 10 CFR 851 FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 4 Evaluation Criteria–cont. 2. Functional Area is common across all program offices at HQ and Field Offices 3. Functional Area contains a majority of performance competencies unique to DOE ▪ Unique DOE processes and knowledge requirements are identified in the FAQS 4. Functional Area has an office or lead sponsor of the FAQS that has a vested interest in the maintenance of the FAQS and the qualification of assigned personnel ▪ e.g. criticality safety and facility representatives FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 5 Working Group FAQS Evaluation Results Each working group member evaluated each FAQS using the established criteria, and then selected one of the following three options for the FAQS: 1. Retain and update to performance competencies using the systematic approach to training. 2. Retain but do not convert to performance competencies. 3. Cancel and archive FAQS. FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 6 Working Group FAQS Evaluation Results–cont. Using the criteria, the working group consensus recommendations are: ▪ Retain and update the WM FAQS ▪ Retain but do not update the EC FAQS ▪ Archive the TPM, D&D, and ER FAQS FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 7 Archived FAQS ■ What is the status of personnel who are in TQP who are qualified to an FAQS that is subsequently “archived” – They are still qualified – NTC will evaluate eTQP to see how this would affect reporting – Supervisors could elect to assign them a JSQS when that option is officially available – Proficiency and performance competencies maintained through continuing training and job assignments FTCP F2F – Dec 12-13, 2017 8 DECISION POINT ■ Does the FTCP Panel agree with the Working Groups recommendation to Archive the TPM, D&D, and ER FAQS and retain the WM and EC FAQS? ■ Are there any alternate viewpoints from the Panel or Working Group Members?
