Waste Management Five-Year Plan. The ADSs provide details by major projects
and support all other budget submittals. The ADSs are updated annually as
part of the Five-Year planning effort.
3.3 DETAIL PLANNING
The DRCP management initiates its detailed planning for the upcoming
fiscal year during the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This
planning begins by integrating guidance funding levels with long-range plan
objectives to establish project priorities. The priorities along with
workscope definitions are transmitted to ERG by GAAs. The CAAs are prepared
by the activity manager and approved by the DRCP manager and the program
business representative. The CAAs are sent to the appropriate cost account
managers (CAM) to generate the CAPs. The CAMs are responsible for work
package and task package development. The CAAs and CAPs are approved by the
DRCP manager before initiating work on October 1 of the fiscal year. (See
Figure 3 for the rollup process.)
The detailed planning and budgeting begin at the lowest level; that is,
with each task-package manager providing the respective input into the
development of the work package. The work package managers follow sequence by
providing their input into the development of the cost accounts. This
'rollup" process continues to the program level. These data are inputed into
the Financial Data System (FOS) in a development mode until managements
reaches a concensus and approves the workscope and schedules. Once the funded
activities are approved and their total budget ties with the given funding
parameters for the upcoming fiscal year, the planned activities are ready for
monitoring and reporting of cost and schedule status information.
4.1 ASSUMPTIONS
4.0 MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ASSUMPTIONS, CRITERIA, AND PRIORITIES
The program costs, management, and technical strategies presented in
this plan are based on the assumptions listed below. These assumptions are
based on experience gained in previous S&M, decommissioning work, engineering
studies, and facility characterization.
The following assumptions are consistent with the guidance provided by
RL. A change in any of the assumptions would result in the need to reevaluate
this plan. The DRCP assumptions are as follows:
The S&M requirements affecting safety and the environment have the
highest priority and will be funded ahead of any other program
activity. Additional maintenance activities are supported
relative to the potential health risk involved and cost
effectiveness.
