Delegation of Safety Authorities
This memorandum serves as your delegation of specific authorities listed in the
attachment and supersedes those delegated by prior memoranda. This delegation is made
in accordance with Department of Energy (DOE) Order (0) 450.2, Integrated Safety
Management, appendix A, Delegations of Authority to Perform Safety Management
Functions, and the Office of Environmental Management (EM) Standing Operating
Policies and Procedures (SOPP) #44, Environmental Management Process for
Delegation of Safety Authorities.
Designated authorities assigned through rules and DOE directives are established to ensure
objective and consistent decision making by appropriate levels of line management. You
need to ensure that organizational lines of responsibilities, reporting, and communication for
safety are clear among your staff while retaining the responsibility for outcomes. If you have
any questions in executing your authorities, I encourage you to seek my input.
Unless otherwise specified, none of these authorities may be redelegated below the
Deputy Manager without my prior approval. However, these safety-related authorities
may be further delegated to Jay Mullis, Director of Engineering Division, during
extended times that you are out of the office. Re-delegations must be formally made in
writing and specific to the time you are out of the office. I am willing to consider further
delegations based upon review of a specific delegation plan that describes how each
authority or like authorities can be carried out while maintaining intended objectivity,
quality, and consistency with the EM program and DOE policies and goals. The
authorities listed in the attachment will expire on January 31, 2015.
