Functional

Description

Area Code

ERWM

Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Provisions associated

with (1) remedial actions under the Comprehensive Environmental

Restoration, Compensation, and Liability Act, (2) corrective actions under a

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permit, (3) remedial actions under

the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, and (4) cleanup

under the Toxic Substances Control Act. This area also includes

decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) activities for operational and

excess contaminated facilities, maintenance of facilities in a safe and

environmentally sound condition prior to and after restoration or D&D

activities, and management of DOE radioactive, mixed, infectious, solid and

hazardous waste and waste related activities.

FIRP

Fire Protection Provisions to: (1) minimize the potential for occurrence a

fire, (2) ensure that a fire does not cause an on-site or off-site release of

radiological and other hazardous material that will threaten the public health

and safety or the environment, (3) maintain an acceptable level of life safety

for workers in the event of a fire emergency, (4) minimize potential for undue

fire-related hazards to the public, (5) avoid delays or impact to vital DOE

programs as a result of fire and its effects, and, (6) ensure the integrity of

process control and safety systems from damage by fire or related perils.

HFAC

Human Factors Provisions which incorporate human characteristics into the

design of systems, equipment, and facilities. This area includes design

criteria expressed as requirements and guidelines, as they apply to those

who will operate, control, maintain, supply or transport the material. It

encompasses environmental considerations such as limits for maximum

exposure, human performance, habitability, and vulnerability.

HRES

Human Resources Provisions for handling personnel activities associated

with employment, compensation, and benefits.

INFT

Information Technology Provisions to support those technologies, including

computing resources, telecommunications, and software, (except for

classifier procedures) associated with information management. This area

also includes activities associated with application portability, graphical user

interface, and document interchanges to support an open systems

environment.

MNTY

Maintenance Provisions to maintain material conditions in a manner which

supports safe and efficient operation. This area does not include the

requirements for performing specific activities, but does include the

identification of DOE and industry practices for the conduct of maintenance

activities.

MGMT

Management Provisions to develop and maintain DOE programs, ensure

adequate guidance and oversight for the implementation of these programs,

and maintain a commitment of resources to perform the required program

functions. Management systems establish programs that are typically

applicable to all organizations at the facility, site or activity.
