Approval Process for OSR Reports

DOE-STD-3015-2004

facilitate productive NEO observations.

OSR deliberations follow the same process as a NESS, which is described in Section

8.2.4.3. OSR report generation follows the same process as a NESS, which is

described in Section 8.2.4.4. OSR feedback follows the same process as a NESS,

which is described in Section 8.2.4.5.

8.3.5 OSR REPORTS

The requirements for an OSR report are identical to the requirements for a NESS

report, which is defined in Section 8.2.5.

8.3.6 APPROVAL PROCESS FOR OSR REPORTS

The requirements for approval of an OSR report are identical to the requirements for

approval of a NESS report, which is defined in Section 8.2.6.

8.4 NCE PROCESS

In an NCE, the NESSG determines if a proposed change, or new information, reduces

assurance of meeting any of the three DOE NES Standards and other NES criteria.

8.4.1 NCE PLANNING

Because change proposals, or NCEs of new information, vary widely in complexity,

the level of effort and degree of detail needed for effective planning will also vary.

The need for a formal planning meeting is determined through advanced planning

discussions between the change proposal organizations, or organizations providing

new information, and the NNSA-SC/NESD. If necessary, the NNSA-SC/NESD

conducts a planning meeting, as appropriate. To ensure a common understanding of

the approach being taken for the NCE, the planning will:

a. Define the scope and objectives of the NCE.
