Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

Annual Performance Results and Targets
The Department is in the process of updating its strategic plan, and has been actively engaging
stakeholders including Congress. The draft strategic plan is being released for public comment
concurrent with this budget submission, with the expectation of official publication this spring. The
draft plan and FY 2012 budget are consistent and aligned. Updated measures will be released at a later
date and available at the following link http://www.mbe.doe.gov/budget/12budget/index.htm.
FY 2010 Accomplishments
• The first two NNSA-specific policy letters for Information Security and Physical Protection were
signed by the Administrator on July 2, 2010, as part of the Zero-Based Security Review (ZBSR), to
eliminate unnecessary costs, improve our ability to develop clear and consistent security
requirements, identified enterprise-wide acceptable levels of risk, and maintain the effectiveness of
the site-level security program.
• Advanced implementation of a Common Procurement and Equipment Standardization program
through establishment of a “Security Commodity Team,” consisting of contractor, federal, and union
representatives from each NNSA and DOE field site, which will be the mechanism for discussion,
research, evaluation, and selection of security equipment to be standardized across the enterprise.
• Completed a year-long effort, as part of the ZBSR, to improve the quality and consistency of the
site-level vulnerability assessments by focusing on improving the rigor and formality of the analysis
process at each site, working with the sites to identify better and more cost effective security
upgrades, and employing risk management in the development of the site security strategy.
• Initiated an effort to implement a Defense Nuclear Security Enterprise Wide Physical Security
Technology Management Plan which will address the current infrastructure, modernization,
standardization and implementation of all physical security systems, (i.e. access systems, alarm
systems, detection/deterrent systems, etc).
• Graded Security Protection Policy Implementation Assistance Visits (GSP-IAV) were conducted at
each of the Category I sites, as part of the ZBSR. Peer reviews were also performed by the
Department of Defense, the United Kingdom and the Office of Health, Safety and Security. These
efforts drove changes in the site protection strategies that have resulted in cost reductions.
Significant Program Shifts
The Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS) and the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) agreed to transfer the management and operations of the Local Area Network Material
Accountability System (LANMAS) to NNSA. The LANMAS is a software application provided by the
Office of Health, Safety and Security to DOE and NNSA sites and facilities to use as the core of their
nuclear accountability systems. The purpose of the transfer is to locate management of the software in
the program office that is the largest user. Since NNSA facilities are direct users of the system, they
have a greater knowledge of the enhancements, corrections and upgrades needed for the software, as
well as the costs and benefits of funding the enhancements. The NNSA has direct lines of
communications with these facilities and a better knowledge of the operational impacts of changes to
software design features or platforms. The FY 2012 request reflects this functional transfer.
