Independent Assessment of Headquarters Line Management Oversight of Emergency Management Programs
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) independently assessed Headquarters line management’s emergency management oversight. Specifically, this assessment evaluated the effectiveness of the Office of Environmental Management (EM), the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and the Office of Science (SC) in implementing the oversight requirements of DOE Order 151.1D, Comprehensive Emergency Management System, and DOE Order 226.1B, Implementation of Department of Energy Oversight Policy, and the implementation of those processes by selected field elements (FEs) from February to June 2022. The assessment also evaluated the effectiveness of certain oversight roles (e.g., readiness assurance) implemented by the NNSA Office of Emergency Operations (NA-40) across DOE as the Office of Primary Interest for emergency management.
