are normally assigned to the Manager of the cognizant DOE Operations Office who is generally

known as the Approval Authority. As described in the FRAM, the documentation of the ISMS

and the description of how ISMS will be integrated into work practices must be submitted to the

Approval Authority for review. Per FRAM 9.2.2.6, the Approval Authority must decide whether

the ISMS Description should be reviewed by a team, and, if a team is needed, select the Team

Leader. The review process is called "verification" and is required in FRAM 9.5.2. General

guidance for conducting ISMS verifications is found in Appendix E of Volume II of the ISMS

Guide, DOE G 450.4-1. This handbook supplements this guidance and provides additional

information useful to the Team Leader and the team assigned to conduct ISMS verifications.
