Briefing on Guidance Streamlining Initiative Meeting: The Technical
Guidance Division. Office ofNudear and National Security Information
(ONNSI), briefed the Acting Director and the Acting Deputy Director of ONNSI
on the Guidance Streamlining Initiative meeting at the DOE Nevada Operations
Office during the week ofJanuary 22. Over 20 classification and computer
experts from the field and Headquarters organizations attended the Las Vegas
meeting. The field representatives were briefed on guidance streamlining and the
group worked to define effective streamlining processes and guidelines for
carrying out classification guidance streamlining. The group suggested that a
more ronnal working group with a charter be fonned to develop effective
processes and guidelines by streamlining classification guidance in one technical
area. In addition to supporting guidance streamlining, the streamlined topics
being developed will be used in ongoing guide revisions in the Technical
Guidance Division. The group planned to meet again in late April to complete the
work.
