Department of Energy Washington, DC 20585 January 29, 2014 MEMORANDUM FOR SUSAN CANGE DEPUTY MANAGER OAK RIDGE OFFICE FROM: SUBJECT: MATTHEW MOUR J A1 ~J/h.1~ DEPUTY ASSIS;;/{ tffi'tRETARY OR SAFETY, SECURITY, AND QUA:8 TY PROGRAMS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 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. @ Printed with soy ink on recycled paper EMERS-2014-012901 Page 1 of 5 (01/2014) WhitleyW Text Box 2014-012901 If you have any questions, please contact me, at (202) 586-5151.
