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

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

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.

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

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

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?
