Implementing Procedures.

DOE-STD-3006-2000

5.3.1.2 Implementing Procedures. Prepare implementing procedures as necessary to carry out the

requirements of the readiness review process in accordance with the requirements of DOE O 425.1B and

the principles of this standard. Where the Secretarial Officer intends to delegate the approval

responsibility for specific actions or individual circumstances, the delegation should be specified in the

implementing procedures to be provided by formal letter or memorandum. These implementing

procedures may be included in the FRAM.

5.3.1.3 Approve Responsible Contractors Startup Notification Report. This report should be

received periodically from each responsible contractor with recommended actions by the Operations

Office manager. DOE Headquarters management should receive and approve it, or approve with

modifications. Copies of the approved report are returned to the responsible contractor via the

Operations Office with additional copies sent to all interested internal and external oversight

organizations. When restart authority is delegated to the field, responsible headquarters line managers

should review the SNR for information. This review is one element of headquarters oversight.

5.3.1.4 Approve the ORR Plan-of-Action. Each new start or restart requires both a contractor and

DOE ORR plan-of-action. Since each new start or restart is unique, the plan-of-action specifies the

details of the new start or restart process based on the specific circumstances and in accordance with

DOE O 425.1B. The authorization authority is designated in the SNR.

5.3.1.5 Distribute ORR Plan-of-Action. The approved ORR plans-of-action are the basis for ORR

activity in the restart or startup process. It must therefore be distributed to all interested individuals and

organizations.

5.3.1.6 DOE ORR Preparation Support. Support preparation of the DOE ORR in accordance with

the provisions of the ORR plan-of-action. If the ORR Team Leader is from Headquarters, support the

preparation and planning for the ORR including preparation of the DOE ORR Implementation Plan.

Provide support for conduct of the DOE ORR. Observation of the ORR process in the field as well as

review of the ORR reports should be one element of headquarters oversight.

5.3.1.7 Authorize Start of DOE ORR. The designated authorization authority reviews the

responsible contractor's Readiness to Proceed Memorandum and contractor ORR report, including the

Operations Office endorsements and if acceptable, grant approval to commence the DOE ORR.
