Appendix B Actions and Assigned Responsibilities for Stakeholder Involvement in the N&S Process at The Savannah River Site

APPENDIX B

ACTIONS AND ASSIGNED RESPONSIBILITIES FOR

STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT IN THE N&S PROCESS AT THE

SAVANNAH RIVER SITE

NOTE: This Savannah River Site (SRS) example which demonstrates considerable outreach to

stakeholders and interested parties was developed to support the SRS Pilot project to validate

the Necessary and Sufficient Closure Process. Since that time, the use of the term

"Stakeholder" has been modified. The SRS example includes DOE, contractor and public

groups under the general category of stakeholder. The Pilots and subsequent WSS

Applications have clarified that the term "Stakeholder" should be limited to involvement of non-

DOE or contractor groups. Public interest groups or unions are examples of stakeholders. The

definition of "Stakeholders" provided in the Glossary is consistent with the provisions of the

Federal Advisory Committee Act which establishes controls for participating in Federal policy-

making bodies. DOE and contractor personnel groups that are involved in the identification,

approval or implementation of standards should be included as participants in the N&S Closure

Process. The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, due to their legislative mandate, are

included as Interested Parties.
