What Performance Indicator data is used to provide indication of the Facility

Representative program status? What trending and analysis is done on

Performance Indicator data? How is this information used? [Section 5.8.1

and Appendix A]

What incentive programs are in place and used effectively for the Facility

Representative position? [Section 5.7.6]

Do these programs make the Facility Representative position desirable and

career enhancing? [Section 5.7.6]

5. Performance assessment and feedback program in place.

How often does the Field Element conduct self-assessments of the entire

Facility Representative program? [Section 5.8.2 ]

Are peer reviews incorporated into the self-assessment process? [Section

5.8.3]

How does the Cognizant Secretarial Officer ensure that program performance

assessments are accomplished, and any indicated corrective actions are

completed? Mechanisms could include providing a representative to

participate in assessments. [Section 4.2 .3]

How well does the self -assessment program ensure that the evaluators have

adequate knowledge and experience to conduct meaningful reviews? Based

on self-assessment reports, have adequate reviews been conducted to be

able to properly evaluate the assigned area of assessment and have the self-

assessments generated meaningful recommendations for improvement and

corrective actions? [Section 5.8 .2 and Appendix B]

Did the Field Element Manager pursue improvements to the Facility

Representative program resulti ng from self-assessments of the program?

[Sections 4.2.4 and 5.8 ]

How are the Facility Representatives kept informed on changes to their

facilities and their operating practices? [Section 5.4.4 and 5.5.6 ]

How are lessons learned from facility events disseminated to Facility

Representatives? [Section 5.5.6 and Appendix D]

How are applicable lessons learned from facility events at other DOE facilities

sought and disseminated to Facility Representatives? [Sections 5.8.4 and

Appendix D]

APPROACH

The approach to be used in performing the Facility Representative Program

assessment is expected to vary between Field Elements. In order to obtain a

valuable assessment of the program, the following methodology is presented.

Documentation. Much information can be determined in advance of the

assessment by careful review of program documentation. This can include:
