Responsible Contractor's ORR Plan-of-Action

DOE-STD-3006-95

The DOE Operations Office will review the responsible contractor's proposal and recommend

approval or modification to Headquarters who will approve or, modify and approve, the contractor's

proposal. Once approved by Headquarters, the contractor's proposal will be provided to the

contractor for action and to appropriate internal and external oversight agencies for their information.

4.2.2 Responsible Contractor's ORR Plan-of-Action. Four to six months before the projected

date for the contractor's ORR, the contractor will prepare and submit for approval the ORR plan-of-

action. In the event the requirement for an ORR is identified less than four months before the

estimated start, the ORR plans-of-action must be expeditiously developed, reviewed, and approved so

that the ORR schedule is maintained. The plan-of-action will provide the proposed ORR breadth

(Sections 5.1.7 and 5.9.1 discuss methods for breadth definition), the prerequisites for starting the

ORR, ORR schedule including estimated start date and duration, the proposed ORR team leader, and

any other information required by DOE 0 425.1 and information unique to the proposed ORR. The

responsible contractor's submitted ORR plan-of-action will be reviewed by the Operations Office

manager or designee and approved or forwarded to the designated approval authority with a

recommendation for approval. A copy will be sent to the Office of Environment, Safety and Health

(EH) for review and comment as well. The designated approval authority will approve the

contractor's plan-of-action and return it for execution with copies to appropriate internal and external

oversight organizations.

4.2.3 DOE ORR Plan-of-Action. Following receipt of the responsible contractor's plan-of-action,

the Operations Office management organization will prepare the DOE ORR plan-of-action. The DOE

ORR plan-of-action will include in the breadth all areas appropriate to the responsible contractor

plan-of-action plus a thorough review of the DOE management organization for capability to oversee

the facility operations to be started. The DOE ORR plan-of-action will include prerequisites, team

leader designation, breadth of the DOE ORR (Section 5.4 and Appendices 1 through 3 provide

additional details on determination of the breadth), estimated schedule and duration, and additional

information required by DOE 0 425.1. The DOE ORR plan-of-action will be formally transmitted via

management to the appropriate approval authority with a copy to EH for review and comment. Once

approved, the DOE ORR plan-of-action is provided to appropriate oversight organizations.
