GENERAL GUIDANCE

Document identification. Standardization documents are assigned a Functional Area

4.1

identifier from the list in Appendix A. This list is an updated version of the DoD Standardization

Areas, as identified in SD-1, modified for DOE technical standards. If applicable, DOE Technical

Standards may be assigned a more detailed FSC or FSG number, as presented in DoD

Handbook H2-1, in place of the Functional Area identifier. Following are some examples:

a standard on "Fire Protection" would be cataloged under Functional Area "FIRP";

a standard on "Training" would be categorized under Functional Area "TRNG";

a standard on "Packing of HEPA Filters" would be catagorized in the more specialized

Federal Supply Class "FSC 4460."

The DOE Technical Standards Style Guide defines the usage of applicable FSC, FSG, and

Functional Area assignments and specifies that they appear in the lower right corner of a DOE

standard, specification, handbook, or TSL. All DOE Technical Standards are listed in the

Department of Energy Standards Index, DOE-TSL-1, and include this assigned Functional Area,

FSC, or FSG classification as a part of the listing.

4.2

Identification of Points of Contact. The following paragraphs of this TSL further

identify the various points of contact for the DOE Technical Standards Program as of August 1,

2002. Points of contact within DOE as well as a link to points of contact within DoD are

identified.

4.2.1

DOE Technical Standards Program Office. Points of contact in the DOE

Technical Standards Program Office (TSPO), including the Technical Standards Program

manager and TSPO staff members, are presented in Appendix B.

4.2.2

DOE Topical Committees. The chairpersons of the DOE topical committees

are points of contact. These committees and their chairpersons are listed in Appendix C. The
