commitment tracking program to ensure that both the baseline and additional

activities described in the implementation plan are met on schedule and

continue to be met following the initial implementation. The implementation

plan shall contain a brief description of the implementing organization's

commitment tracking program.

4. SUBMITTAL OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

The implementing organization shall submit implementation plans to the

designated DOE Operations Office point-of-contact within the schedule

specified in the DOE requirements document. The Operations Office point-of-

contact shall time and date stamp the receipt of the implementation plan.

The implementing organization shall contact the Operations Office point-of-

contact in advance of the submittal date to determine the number of copies to

be submitted. Documents which are incorporated by reference shall be

submitted with the implementation plan unless other arrangements are made

with the Operations Office point-of-contact. In addition, if the implementation

plan is not a stand-alone document (able to be reviewed independent of other

documents), the implementing organization shall contact the Operations Office

point-of-contact prior to submittal of the implementation plan to discuss which

supporting documents are to be transmitted with the implementation plan or

made available for onsite review.
