Request to Revise DOE O 5500.11, "Power Marketing Administration Emergency Management Program"	The Power Marketing Administration (PMAs) have expressed interests in updating the emergency management requirements that affect their operations. Additionally, DOE O 5500.11 is included in the list of directives that must be reviewed and revised this year under the requirements of DOE O 251.1B. Since DOE O 5500.11was published in 1994, emergency management requirements within DOE and programs across the nation have moved to comprehensive, "all hazards" approach.
