Responsibilities for DOE lessons learned activities are provided in the Functions, Responsibilities

and Authorities Manuals (FRAM). Support for implementing and improving DOE and contractor

lessons learned activities is available through the DOE Headquarters Lessons Learned Lead Office

(Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH)), the Society for Effective Lessons Learned Sharing

(SELLS), the Energy Facilities Contracting Group (EFCOG) ISM Working Group, and the

Enhanced Work Planning Executive Committee. The Headquarters Lead Office will monitor

implementation of this Technical Standard and compile recommendations for any subsequent
