DIRECTOR \ \0 \J'J .....-' OFFICE OF ACQUISITION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUBJECT: Directives Certification Statement I CHRONOLOGY RECEIVED 1/11£(1'/ OUT FOR REVIEW h/;rjt'l ORB DISCUSSION /'z.-jtrr(I<1 Department of Energy (DOE) Order 484.1, Reimbursable Work For the Department of Homeland Security has been reviewed by my organization and deemed to be in compliance with related Departmental Directives, Secretarial Delegations, organizational structure, budget guidelines, regu lations, standards, OMB guidance, relevant memoranda of und erstanding and public laws. In addition, this directive is not found to cause undue burden (i.e., significant cost impacts, overly prescriptive, redundancy, or excessive reporting requirements) on Departmental elements and contractors. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U. S. C 189) authorizes th e Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to access DOE's laboratories and other sites to further DHS mission objectives. To ensure the availability of DOE capabilities under existing site contracts on March 1, 2003, the Secretary of Energy, and the Secreta ry of Homeland Security entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), dated February 28, 2003. The MOA, among other things, implements provisions of the Act specifying that, notwithstanding any other law govern ing the administration, mission, use or operation of any DOE national laboratories or sites, DOE may accept and perform work for DHS at those laboratories and sites, consistent with the resources provided, and perform the work on an equal basis w ith other missions at the site and not on a non-interference basis with other missions ofthe site. DOE Notice 481.1 was approved on February 28, 2003 to establish DOE-wide policies, procedures and responsibilities in the performance of reimbursable work for DHS. The Order ensured compliance with the Homeland Security Act and implemented the MOA requirements as we ll. On August 17, 2006, DOE Order 484.1 replaced the Notice to institutionalize DOE policies on this subject. Since that time DOE has managed DHS funded activities in accorda nce with the DOE Order. * Printed with soy ink on recycled paper I certify that this directive is accurate and continues to be relevant and appropriate for use by the Department. Please contact Andrew Scott Geary (202) 586-1507 of my staff for additional information. 2 ~ ~ con~ Nonconcur: ________ Date: /-(l=/S
