*Notice of Intent to Revise DOE Order 225.1A, "Accident Investigations, 11-26-97"*	This memorandum provides justification for a revision to DOE O 225.1A. Major changes in this Order revision include (1) giving line managers the responsibility to appoint Federally-led accident investigation boards and eliminating the differentiation between Type A and Type B accidents (2) modifying the categorization algorithm to promote more timely decision-making; (3) giving line managers the responsibility for implementing corrective action systems to address identified deficiencies; (4) and clarifying line manager responsibilities for conducting extent conditions reviews. Historically, HSS has been responsible for appointing and leading independent accident investigations under this Order. As the numbers of the most severe accidents (Type A) have decreased and the investigation capabilities of the Program and Field Elements have increased, the need for HSS to independently lead investigations has diminished. The responsibility will be transferred to the responsible Heads of Programs Elements; the current Order provision that provides HSS with the authority to appoint an accident investigation board "as deemed-appropriate" is not anticipated to change.	Memo	Charles B. Lewis (301) 903-0502 charles.lewis@hq.doe.gov	HS	06/04/2010

The standard will be developed in parallel, to be issues as the same time as the revised Order. The standard will not be invoked as a requirement.	Memo	Charles B. Lewis (301) 903-0502 charles.lewis@hq.doe.gov	HS	06/04/2010
*Notice of Intent to Cancel Department of Energy Guide 226.1-1, "Safeguards and Security Oversight and Assessment Implementation Guide"*	DOE G 226.1-1 was identified during the Health, Safety and Security policy reform review for cancellation. As stated in the Department's directive system (DOE O 251.1C), guides provide and acceptable, but not mandatory, means for complying with requirements in orders and rules. This guide contains no requirements but does not provide useful information and best practices for implementing a Department-wide oversight process to protect the public, workers, environment, and national security assets effectively through continuous improvement	Memo	Larry D. Wilcher (301) 903-5108 larry.wilcher@hq.doe.gov	HS	03/12/2010

Justification for Cancellation of the Department of Energy Policy 450.3, "Authorizing Use of the Necessary and Sufficient Process for Standards-based Environment, Safety and Health Management,"	This memorandum provides justification for the cancellation of Department of Energy (DOE) Policy (P) 450.3, Authorizing Use of the Necessary and Sufficient Process for Standards-based Environment, Safety and Health Management. The Necessary and Sufficient process for standards-based environment, safety, and health (ES&H) management ways developed in the mid-1990"s as one means of addressing the selection of ES&H standards to applicable work conditions. Since 1996, two approved tailoring processes have been used with the Department to evaluate the hazards associated with the work and identify the appropriate set of standards, practices, and controls, These processes are the Work Smart Standards (WSS) and the Standards/Requirements Identification Document (S/RID), which are defined in separate DOE Policy, DOE Manual, and three DOE Guides. Considering these evolutions and consistent with the Secretary's September 10, 2007, direction, DOE P 450.3, along with its associated Manual and guidance documents, is no longer needed. This memorandum requests cancellation of these directives. The Department remains committed to using integrated management systems to ensure adequate protection for workers, the public, and the environment. cancellation of these directives should not restrict, or otherwise impact, the use of the S/RID process where appropriate. DOE P 450.3 will be cancelled. Existing DOE directives and DEAR clauses provide the structure for the identification of an adequate, tailored set of work requirements and standards. Accordingly, no new policy will need to be issued.	Memo SC Executive Summary	Dr. Bill McArthur (301) 903-6061 bill.mcarthur@hq.doe.gov	HS	03/25/2010

Considering these evolutions and consistent with the Secretary's September 10, 2007, direction, DOE P 450.3, along with its associated Manual and guidance documents, is no longer needed. This memorandum requests cancellation of these directives. The Department remains committed to using integrated management systems to ensure adequate protection for workers, the public, and the environment. cancellation of these directives should not restrict, or otherwise impact, the use of the S/RID process where appropriate. DOE M 450.3-1 will be cancelled. Existing DOE directives and DEAR clauses provide the structure for the identification of an adequate, tailored set of work requirements and standards. Accordingly, no new policy will need to be issued.	Memo SC Executive Summary	Dr. Bill McArthur (301) 903-6061 bill.mcarthur@hq.doe.gov	HS	03/25/2010

*Request to Cancel DOE O 1340.1B, "Management of Public Communications Publication and Scientific, Technical and Engineering Publications"*	The Office of Public Affairs conducted a thorough review process to evaluate whether DOE O 1340.1B should be renewed, updated or canceled. As part of this review process, the Director of Public Affairs convened a meeting with press and management staff to discuss the Order. At this meeting, press staff explained that DOE public communications are now primarily reviewed at the program office level and that when policy issues and questions arise, program office's public affairs teams will consult PA as needed. PA requests that DOE O 1340.1B be canceled for the following reasons: (1). This directive was issued over 17 years ago, in January 1993. At that time, the Office of Public Affairs included two components - a press office and a public information office. The public information office was solely responsible for reviewing DOE public communications publications. This office was removed about five years ago. (2). Public Affairs and communications officers within the program offices have been reviewing publications produced by their offices and consulting with PA as needed. The best practices memorandum will clarify these responsibilities.	Memo SC Executive Summary	Dan Leistikow (202) 586-0361 dan.leistikow@hq.doe.gov	PA	06/03/2010
Notice of Intent to Cancel DOE O 1450.4, "Consensual Listening-in to or Recording Telephone/Radio Conversations"	After significant consultation with the Privacy office, General Counsel, and others, the OCIO concluded it does not have the legal standing to authorize the use of non-consensual listening tools. Should a DOE element need to use this tool in the future, the element would be responsible to coordinate such action with GC and other interested parties prior to requesting the OCIO provide technical support. The OCIO expects the only impact with the cancellation of this Order is a need to update DOE M 470.4-2A, Physical Protection which references this order. This Manual itself is scheduled to become an order. DOE M 470.4-7 also references this order, however, it is being proposed for cancellation.

*Revision of DOE Order 5480.19, "Conduct of Operations Requirements for DOE Facilities"*	The Order has been revised, renamed, and renumbered. It is now DOE Order 422.X, Conduct of Operations, and is ready for DOE-wide review in RevCom. The proposed revision to the Order clarifies and refines DOE and contractor requirements and provides a contemporary CRD. The proposed revision to the Order was developed in accordance with the DOE Project Plan for Review of the HSS Safety Directives, approved in January 2008, and supports the principles governing Department Directives, as defined by the Secretary's memo of September 10, 2007, and subsequently incorporated into DOE O 251.1C, approved in January 2009.

*Notice of Intent to Revise Secretary of Energy Notice 35-91, "Nuclear Safety Policy"*	SEN-35-91 was identified as one of four SENs recommended for cancellation in a memorandum from Camille Beben, Directives Review Board Liaison, Office of Information Resources, dated July 2, 2009. It was recommended for cancellation because it was more than four years old and had never been reviewed and certified to verify its continued relevance. Following receipt of this memorandum, the Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS), in coordination with the Chief of Nuclear Safety (CNS) and the Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety (CDNS), reviewed SEN-35-91 and concluded, as discussed below, that it continues to have relevance and that the policy needed to be updated rather than cancelled. SEN-35-91 states the Department of Energy's (DOE's) basic nuclear safety policy from which specific nuclear safety rules, order, standards, and other requirements follow. Although the title indicates the document is a policy, it uses "must" and "shall" statements to establish important high-level nuclear safety requirements for nuclear safety programs that DOE and its contractors are to establish (e.g., technical competence and safety oversight). As specified in SEN-35-91, these high-level requirements have been implemented in DOE Directives and Standards, and can be converted to appropriate policy statements in the revision.
