AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: INITIATED BY: www.directives.doe.gov Office of Health, Safety and Security MANUAL Approved: 11-5-08 CONTRACTOR PROTECTIVE FORCE U.S. Department of Energy Office of Health, Safety and Security DOE M 470.4-3A DOE M 470.4-3A 1 11-5-08 CONTRACTOR PROTECTIVE FORCE 1. PURPOSE. This Manual establishes the requirements for the management and operation of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contractor protective forces (PFs). 2. CANCELLATIONS. DOE M 470.4-3, Chg 1, Protective Force, Attachment 2 Contractor Requirement Document (CRD) only (except Section C) dated 3-07-06. Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual obligation to comply with the manual. CRDs that have been incorporated into or attached to a contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. DOE Elements. The requirements in this Manual apply to DOE elements that have oversight of site and facility management and operations and offices that administer contracts for DOE PF and PF firearms programs for the purposes of protecting Safeguards and Security (S&S) interests, including those created after the Manual is issued. (Go to http://energy.gov/organization/orgchart.htm for the current listing of Departmental elements). The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will assure that NNSA employees comply with their respective responsibilities under this Manual. Nothing in this Manual will be construed to interfere with the NNSA Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65 to establish Administration-specific policies, unless disapproved by the Secretary. b. DOE Contractors. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 3c, the CRD (Attachment 1) sets forth requirements that apply to site/facility management contracts that include the CRD. c. Exclusions. (1) In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors will implement and oversee all requirements and practices pertaining to this Manual for activities under the Deputy Administrator’s cognizance. (2) Requirements in this Manual and the CRD that overlap or duplicate requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) related to radiation protection, nuclear safety (including quality assurance), and safeguards and security of nuclear material, do not apply to the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of the Office of Civilian 2 DOE M 470.4-3A 11-5-08 Radioactive Waste Management facilities. This exemption does not apply to requirements for which the NRC defers to DOE or does not exercise regulatory jurisdiction. (3) DOE offices, facilities, and property protection areas that do not contain any element identified as a Safeguards and Security interest (DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References; DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management) may be exempt from the requirements of this Manual; however, they must meet or exceed General Services Administration minimum security standards.

Section 2

(4) The Department intends that the highest level of protection be given to security interests and activities whose loss, theft, compromise, and/or unauthorized use would seriously affect national security, the environment, Departmental programs, and/or the health and safety of the public or employees. Therefore, field elements, such as the Power Marketing Administrations, that do not possess arming and arrest authority under the aegis of either section 161k. of the Atomic Energy Act or section 661 of the DOE Organization Act and that perceive a need to arm their security officers, may do so provided they comply with the requirements of the jurisdiction in which their officers will operate. Until such time as affected field elements are accorded DOE arming and arrest authority, and consistent with statutory authorities and local determinations based on risk and/or vulnerability assessments, selected provisions of this manual may be used as a guide when approved by the head of the field element or his/her designee. 4. REQUIREMENTS. a. Establish and maintain standardized requirements for management direction, training program administration, maintenance of qualifications, and execution of operations for the various contractor PF activities within DOE. b. Effect the policy in DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security Management (ISSM) Policy, by integrating PF into DOE operations as determined by DOE line management, and according to sound risk management practices. (1) DOE P 470.1 is the Department’s philosophical approach to the management of the S&S Program. A principal objective of the ISSM Program is to integrate S&S into management and work practices at all levels, based on program line management’s risk management-based decisions, so that missions may be accomplished without security events such as interruption, disruption, or compromise. DOE M 470.4-3A 3 11-5-08 (2) This approach includes individual responsibility and implementation of the security requirements found in this Manual. c. Establish and maintain minimum requirements for the arming of DOE contractor PF personnel and firearms operations. 5. RESPONSIBILITIES. a. DOE Line Management. (1) Provide guidance and oversight to site and facility management and operations offices that administer contracts for DOE PF and PF firearms programs for the purposes of protecting S&S interests. (2) Implement the requirements in paragraphs 4a through 4c. b. Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters Departmental Elements. Review procurement requests for new non-site/facility management contracts that involve classified matter, or nuclear materials, and contain DEAR clause 952.204-2, Security Requirements, and, if appropriate ensure that the CRD of this Manual is included in the contract. Notify contracting officers of site/facility management contracts affected by the requirements of this Manual to include the CRD. c. Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests who want to incorporate the requirements of this Manual in new non-site/facility management contracts, as applicable. When so notified, include the CRD to this Manual in affected site/facility management contracts. 6. DEFINITIONS. Terms commonly used in the program are defined in the S&S Glossary located in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References. In addition to those in the Glossary, the following definitions are provided for use in this Manual.

KUPFER Acting Deputy Secretary DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page i (and Page ii) CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for complying with the requirements of this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) and flowing down CRD requirements to subcontractors at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure contractor compliance. Whenever a DOE Order, Notice or Manual is referenced within the CRD, the intent

Section 4

is to include reference to the CRD of that directive. This CRD is issued to identify requirements applicable to contractors. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contractors must adhere to the same Protective Force (PF) program standards for protecting safeguards and security (S&S) interests including, but not limited to nuclear weapons, explosives, and components; special nuclear material; vital equipment; classified matter; assets; facilities; and other areas of interest to the S&S Program such as DOE elements and their personnel. All requirements in this CRD apply to contractors that have responsibilities for administering the DOE PF and PF Firearms Programs for the purpose of protecting S&S interests. The requirements in this CRD must flow down to all subcontractors with responsibilities for administering the PF and PF Firearms Programs. When a union is the bargaining representative of PF personnel, the contractor should be aware that it may be obligated to bargain about certain effects of implementation of this CRD, as required by the National Labor Relations Act. A violation of the provisions of this directive relating to the safeguarding or security of Restricted Data or other classified information may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of section 234B of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282b). The assessment of civil penalties assessed under 42 U.S.C. 2282b are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties for Classified Information Security Violations, (10 CFR Part 824). 1. Terms commonly used in the program are defined in the S&S Glossary located in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References. In addition to those in the Glossary, the following definitions are provided for use in this Manual. a. Tactical Response Force (TRF) Facility: A facility or site required by DOE M 470.4-1, Program Planning and Management, to field a TRF employing a strategy that includes recapture/recovery and fresh pursuit capabilities. TRF facilities include those with Category I quantities of special nuclear material (SNM); credible roll-up of SNM to a Category I quantity; or those facilities that meet or exceed the Level 2 criteria for chemical, radiological, or biological thresholds specified in the current DOE Design Basis Threat. b.

In accordance with Integrated Safeguards and Security Management practices and in support of the Department of Energy (DOE) Safeguards and Security (S&S) Protection Program Management requirements, Protective Force (PF) programs, functions, or activities must incorporate basic planning principles to ensure they accomplish their intended purpose. a. Mission. PF programs/elements, regardless of size, must clearly identify the mission to be fulfilled by the organization. Broad mission statements may be supported by establishing more specific goals and objectives for the PF element to achieve. b. Resource Requirements. PF programs/elements must document the resource

Section 8

requirements necessary to accomplish mission objectives successfully. Sources of these requirements may include Federal laws and regulations; DOE directives; site security plans (SSPs); protection strategies; operational needs; production, inspection, or transportation schedules; and investigative work load projections. Resource requirements may be identified as, but not limited to, the following: (1) The number of projected posts/patrol hours to be operated by security officers (SOs)/security police officers (SPOs) on a fixed facility, and (2) Equipment items necessary to support such operations. c. Authorizations. Authorizations may be identified by full-time equivalents (FTEs), the total number of personnel needed, total number of direct labor-hours, and/or quantities of equipment items to perform work. Authorizations necessary to fulfill resource requirements are determined by factoring in considerations such as, but not limited to: (3) established shift schedules, (4) training requirements, (5) relief factors, (6) travel distances, (7) operational effectiveness, (8) unit readiness, (9) performance testing, and (10) equipment maintenance. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page I-2 11-5-08 d. Actuals. PF programs/elements must maintain a process that monitors and periodically reports actual personnel and sensitive equipment items currently on hand. Actuals differ from authorizations in that actual on-hand numbers of personnel will generally fall short of authorizations; however, on occasion, situations may require that actuals exceed authorizations. Approval to temporarily exceed personnel authorizations must be obtained from DOE line management. e. Funding. PF programs/elements must develop funding requirements that provide direct relationships between costs and identified personnel and equipment authorizations. Funding requirements must also incorporate and adjust for the difference between authorized and actual figures. This methodology constitutes a zero-based budgeting process that ensures mission objectives drive funding requirements. 2. OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE AND WRITTEN DIRECTIVES SYSTEM. To ensure that PF missions/functions are accomplished as intended, sufficient operational guidance must be provided through the establishment and maintenance of a formalized written directives system. a. Development. Written plans, post orders (POs), general orders (GOs), and procedures covering PF routine, emergency, and administrative duties; tactical deployment, and other operational requirements must be developed and must ensure PF assignments are oriented to allow maximum concentration of resources in a tactical posture. Plans, POs, GOs, and procedures must be clear, concise, and current. b. Plans. Required protection strategies; tactical response options, actions, and times; and other applicable response requirements must be addressed in response plans. Tactical Response Force (TRF) facilities must concentrate tactical resources on or around target locations. Tactical response plans will locate protective forces either in direct defense of target locations or in appropriate ready response positions that offer immediate response to target locations. Response plans will be developed in support of tactically cohesive units; i.e., two or more SPOs with an identified leader. Required PF plans include: (1) Security incident response plans (SIRPs) covering response requirements

Section 9

to security incidents; adversary intrusion of a facility/site; and defense against adversary use of weapons, explosives, and chemical/biological weapons (CBW) as described in the current DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy. SIRPs must provide specific response directions and required actions to PF personnel for applicable containment, denial, recapture, recovery, and pursuit strategies and to support interruption/neutralization operations before completion of adversary task times. When a site/facility vulnerability assessment (VA), performance test (PT), and/or SSP dictates a recapture strategy, PF DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page I-3 personnel must have the ability to gain entry to the target facility in accordance with SSP/VA timelines. (2) SIRPs must be coordinated with site/facility emergency response plans and should address items such as: (a) Establishment of unified command for security incidents; (b) Designation of an overall incident commander (for the emergency) and incident command structure including, for example, roles and responsibilities for categorization, classification, and protective actions; (c) Integration of security response with site/facility protective actions such as evacuation, take cover, or shelter-in-place; and (d) Transition to normal emergency management command structures following termination of the security event. (3) Security contingency response plans covering PF work stoppages, PF recall measures, and response actions of local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies (LEAs) as documented by vulnerability analysis must be developed. Recommended format and content are contained in DOE G 473.2-1, Guide for the Establishment of a Contingency Protective Force. c. Target Folders. Target folders must be developed and maintained by TRF sites and/or those with radiological sabotage concerns. Target folders should be sufficient to provide information necessary to assist the PF and outside agencies in conducting interagency compatible tactical operations. [A sample target folder is provided on the DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS) website www.hss.energy.gov.] d. Procedures. Administrative, training, and other non-response-related operational requirements must be addressed in procedures. e. Non-DOE LEA Support. If local, State, or Federal LEAs are used to protect security interests and/or to respond to security incidents, sites must establish cooperative agreements, e.g., Memoranda of Understanding outlining the specific support to be provided. These agreements must be documented in the appropriate security plan and reviewed annually. f. Configuration Control. The written directives system must incorporate a controlled and documented process that ensures that changes to operational guidance are adequately reviewed and approved by authorized safety and PF management representatives. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page I-4 11-5-08 g. Availability. Written directives must be available to PF personnel for reference and guidance in the performance of routine and emergency duties. When plans and procedures contain classified matter, reasonable measures must be implemented to afford routine access to this guidance by appropriately cleared PF personnel with a valid need to know. h. Review. Written operational and emergency response guidance, procedures, and cooperative agreements must be reviewed to ensure they are current when

Section 10

response requirements, duties, or administrative requirements are changed, or at least annually (at least every 12 months). Annual or special reviews must be documented to show the name of the reviewer and the date the review was completed. Any revisions or changes made to written guidance as a result of the review must be highlighted or marked in such a manner to ensure PF personnel are aware of those revisions and changes. 3. DOE CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT. a. PF Positions. PF positions include contractor positions used in either armed or unarmed status for the purpose of protecting and/or investigating offenses against DOE assets including facilities, personnel, sensitive materials, and other property. Detailed requirements for the PF positions identified below are contained within this CRD: (1) SOs are unarmed contractor employees who conduct security duties at DOE facilities. SOs are not authorized to carry firearms and are not empowered with any arrest authority. (2) Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1047, Limited Arrest Authority and Use of Force by Protective Force Officers, delineates SPOs’ responsibility at DOE facilities [other than the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)] to enforce specified laws regarding Government property and criminal provisions of the Atomic Energy Act. Such SPOs may, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 1047, be given additional local law enforcement responsibility on a site-specific basis. 10 CFR Part 1049, Limited Arrest Authority and Use of Force by Protective Force Officers of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, delineates SPO responsibility at the SPR to enforce Federal criminal laws to protect SPR Government property and personnel. SPOs must possess the individual and team combat tactical skills necessary to protect S&S interests from an armed terrorist threat, to include theft or sabotage of nuclear weapons or special nuclear material (SNM), and other hostile acts that may cause adverse impacts on national security, the health and safety of employees, the public, or the environment. There are three separate and distinct SPO positions/job classifications, which are fully described in this CRD. (3) Armed SPOs must be assigned to protect security areas that: DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page I-5 (a) receive, use, process, or store Category I or II quantities of SNM (see DOE M 470.4-6, Nuclear Material Control and Accountability); (b) manufacture, store, or test nuclear weapons, nuclear test devices, or complete nuclear assemblies; (c) represent a target for sabotage (e.g., radiological or toxicological) reference DOE M 470.4-2, Physical Protection; and (d) contain a unique capability in DOE that must be protected for purposes of program continuity or to preclude an unacceptable impact on national security, the health and safety of DOE and contractor employees, the public, or the environment when the need has been so designated by DOE line management. b. Pre-Employment Screening. Screening (e.g., employment references, criminal background, credit, medical, and physical fitness) must be conducted to select individuals with potential to qualify for PF positions. c. Job Analyses. Job analyses (JAs) (e.g., a list of common tasks required for PF assignments) must be prepared and reviewed annually (at least every 12 months) for positions directly related to protective operations. JAs must be used as basic

Section 11

input documents to local training requirements. JAs must address site-specific requirements for activities that have not been standardized and issued by the DOE National Training Center (NTC). d. Human Reliability Program. Human Reliability Program positions must be identified in accordance with 10 CFR Part 712 (see 10 CFR Part 712, Human Reliability Program) and approved by DOE line management. In addition to those categories of positions listed in 10 CFR Part 712.10(a)(1) through (3), armorers with unescorted access to PF firearms must be enrolled in the HRP. e. Training. See 10 CFR Part 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests; DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management; and this CRD. f. Records. See 10 CFR Part 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests, Schedule 18 of the General Records Schedule (GRS), or the DOE Records Schedules. g. Reporting Requirements. Supervisors in the PF command structure and the manager in charge of onsite PF operations must ensure that any suspected criminal violations are reported in accordance with DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management, and, where appropriate, DOE O 231.1A, Environment, Safety and Health Reporting. All contract protective force employees, must comply with DOE O 221.1A, Reporting Fraud, Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page I-6 11-5-08 Waste and Abuse and DOE O 221.2A, Cooperation with the Office Of Inspector General. h. Implementation. Contractors must obtain DOE line management approval for procedures to implement paragraphs 3a through 3c above and the Career Progression Plan outlined in Chapter III of this CRD, based on internal organization (e.g., personnel, human resources, training, and labor relations) and collective bargaining agreements in effect. 4. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. PF personnel must comply with the Departmental medical, physical fitness, and firearms qualifications and training requirements as appropriate in 10 CFR Part 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests. a. Security Clearance. (1) PF personnel must possess a security clearance commensurate with the highest level of classified information or matter to which they have, or potentially have, access. Security clearances must be obtained in accordance with DOE M 470.4-5, Personnel Security; (2) SPOs must possess L or Q security clearances; (3) SPOs with access to nuclear weapons, nuclear test devices, or complete nuclear assemblies; Category I and II quantities of SNM; fully automatic weapons; or who are assigned to offensive posts must possess Q security clearances; and (4) All PF personnel with security clearances are subject to the Department's random drug testing requirements. b. Medical, Physical Fitness, Firearms, and Training Standards. (1) Security Officers. SOs must meet the training, qualification, and medical requirements in 10 CFR Part 1046, Subpart B, Protective Force Personnel. (2) Security Police Officers. SPOs must meet the medical, physical fitness, firearms, and training and qualifications requirements in 10 CFR Part 1046, Subpart B, Protective Force Personnel. (a) SPO-I. Physical fitness standard of a 0.5-mile run in 4 minutes and 40 seconds and a 40-yard prone-to-running dash in 8.5 seconds. (b) SPO-II/III. Physical fitness standard of a 1-mile run in 8 minutes and 30 seconds and a 40-yard prone-to-running dash in 8 seconds. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1

Section 12

11-5-08 Page I-7 (3) Maintaining Physical Fitness Standards. Contractor PF personnel must maintain the physical fitness standards in 10 CFR Part 1046. Randomly selected SPOs will be required to demonstrate they meet physical fitness qualification standards during an inspection, survey, review, audit, or other situation as directed by DOE line management. Failure to meet the physical fitness standard will be treated as if the individual failed the first attempt during annual qualification. In the event of a failure, the requirements in 10 CFR 1046, Subpart B, Protective Force Personnel must be followed. (4) Confidentiality of Medical Information. The Department of Energy Designated Physician will notify protective force (PF) management of medical work restrictions. PF management must approve and implement site specific plans to ensure confidentiality of PF medical information. This plan must restrict access to only those with a need to know the information and must identify those individuals by organizational position or responsibility. The plan must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. c. Special Skills Qualifications. (1) Site-specific conditions may justify requirements for PF personnel to possess qualifications for special skills (e.g., security helicopter operations, ascending and descending techniques, mechanical and explosive tactical entry techniques, CBW countermeasures, hostage negotiation, precision rifleman/forward observer team, communications, exercise controllers/evaluators, remotely operated weapons systems or alarm station monitoring). (2) Responsible managers must ensure that personnel assigned to these duties are trained, formally evaluated, and certified, if required, by an appropriate accrediting authority before performing those duties. (3) Certifications required by specific job functions (e.g., a Federal Aviation Administration license for pilots) must be kept current. The employing organization for each individual must maintain a record of qualification and/or certification. d. Firearms. (1) No person will be authorized to carry a firearm as a PF officer until the individual is qualified in accordance with the approved firearms qualification standards. Approved DOE firearms qualifications courses that have gone through the official approval process established by the Office of Security Policy are located on the HSS/NTC websites Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page I-8 11-5-08 (www.hss.energy.gov and www.ntc.doe.gov). SPOs authorized to carry firearms must comply with the firearms requirements outlined in this CRD. (2) Each SPO must qualify with each firearm that is reasonably expected to be used during duty assignment on the qualification course indicated in the DOE-approved firearms qualification courses and any applicable approved site-specific supplemental qualification course. (a) Initial firearms qualifications and semi-annual requalifications must be accomplished in accordance with requirements of 10 CFR Part 1046. (b) Before any range activity, each SPO must be given a briefing on the basic principles of firearms safety. However, a firearms safety briefing is not required for each qualification course using the

Section 13

same firearm after the initial safety presentation for that firearm. (c) Failure to qualify, as set forth in 10 CFR Part 1046, will result in suspension of the authority to carry firearms and make arrests. The remedial firearms training program will comply with 10 CFR Part 1046 as will any subsequent loss of SPO status due to failure to meet these standards. 1 The total number of initial requalifications and remedial requalification attempts may not exceed four in each semiannual requalification cycle. 2 Upon qualification in this final attempt, reinstatement may be effected where site-specific employment conditions, position availability, and procedures permit. Any subsequent application for rehire will require training as provided to any other initial applicant for an SPO position. 3 The PF range master will designate, in writing, the firearms instructors who are authorized to certify the validity of the scores achieved during qualification attempts. (3) PF organizations that do not fire individually issued firearms during qualification must have written procedures authorizing the specific model and associated features of all firearms used. Contractors must obtain approval from DOE line management for these procedures. (4) Requalification may occur at any time during the requalification month. If an SPO does not requalify before or during the requalification month, the individual’s authority to carry firearms and make arrests must be suspended until requalification is completed. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page I-9 (5) An SPO may be required to demonstrate the ability to meet qualification standards during an inspection, survey, review, audit, or other situation directed by DOE line management. Failure to meet the performance standard will be treated as if the individual failed the first attempt during semi-annual qualification. Procedures in paragraph 4d(2)(c) above must be followed in the event of a failure. e. Authority to Carry Firearms. (1) The employing organization must maintain written documentation indicating each individual who is authorized to carry firearms and make arrests without warrant while performing official duties. (2) Firearms instructors who are not currently assigned SPO duties may carry firearms when performing their instructional duties if authorized by DOE line management. These instructors must pass the firearms qualification courses for assigned firearms and for firearms that are the subject of instruction. 5. CREDENTIALS AND SHIELDS. Credentials and shields are issued to qualified DOE contractor personnel to identify the bearer as having the authority to perform assigned official duties. The design of all S&S credentials and shields used by contractor PFs must be approved by the Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer, and where applicable, DOE line management. a. Types of Credentials and Shields. (1) Contractor Security Credential. This credential is issued to DOE contractor employees conducting security interviews, investigations, inquiries, inspections, and/or surveys as official duties or functions. (2) Contractor Badges and Shields. This encompasses all contractor badges/shields that have been approved by the Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer. Each shield must bear a serial number imprinted on its face. The credential must bear the shield number. (3) SPO with Shield (Armed). This credential is issued to DOE contractor

Supervision of PF personnel must be provided to the extent required to ensure optimal performance of duties. (1) Shift Supervisory Requirements. There must be full-time supervision at sites where more than six PF personnel are assigned per shift. (2) Other Supervision Means. Various means and devices, such as telephone or radio contact or contact by another supervisor who is physically closer to the post, may be used as supplements to supervision or, in the case of small facilities or remote areas, to supplant supervision to ensure that the

Section 16

necessary areas are patrolled and other security functions are performed. (3) Post Inspections. Supervisors must physically inspect, or contact by telephone or radio, PF posts in accordance with 10 CFR Part 1046, Appendix B, B(7)(b)3. (4) Tactical Performance Oversight. At TRF facilities, supervisors must monitor the tactical readiness of all PF personnel under their supervision. The supervisor must conduct frequent on-shift training events or drills to evaluate the effectiveness of PF tactical capabilities. All tests and associated results, including remediation as applicable, must be documented and available for management review. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page I-13 (and Page I-14) c. Unit Organization. At TRF facilities, the PF organizational structure must be configured into tactically cohesive units. Each unit must have appropriate operational command, control, and communication systems. Security Incident Response Plans must be developed around the tactical unit response concept rather than individual response positions. The tactical unit must promote maximum effectiveness in protecting the most valuable Departmental assets from an armed terrorist threat. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page II-1 CHAPTER II – TRAINING 1. TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION. a. Training must be conducted in accordance with, by, and through a Department of Energy (DOE) National Training Center (NTC)-approved program to be conducted in accordance with the Training Approval Program (TAP) as required by DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management. Training must be provided to ensure performance of assigned functions and tasks under both normal and emergency conditions. b. Training requirements for each position are contained in their respective chapters within this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD). (1) Contractors responsible for protective force (PF) personnel must establish a formal qualification program to meet qualification requirements that ensure PF members are competent to perform the tasks within their assigned responsibilities. (2) The qualification requirements will be supported by a formal training program that develops and maintains the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to perform assigned tasks. The qualification and training programs will be based on criteria established by the DOE NTC as outlined in DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management; this CRD; and 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests. (3) The cognizant security authority must establish additional PF training criteria as needed by site-specific requirements. (4) The DOE NTC will determine the NTC courses that may be conducted at field sites by assessing a site’s capability to conduct training to ensure all applicable training objectives and requirements will be met. (5) Such determination will be made using a standard evaluation system/format developed by the DOE NTC. (6) Such certification will be valid for 3 years and is automatically revoked when it is determined that the onsite courses do not meet requisite training requirements. This determination may be made through various means [e.g., results from an annual site PF program certification/re-certification review, annual and/or special safeguards and security (S&S) surveys/self-assessment activities, or Office of Security Evaluations

Section 17

inspection]. The revocation will remain in effect until the site is found to be in compliance with the requirements. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page II-2 11-5-08 2. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. a. General. The formal training and qualification program must: (1) Be based on a valid and complete set of job tasks, with identified levels of skills and knowledge needed.

DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page III-1 CHAPTER III – PROTECTIVE FORCE ADMINISTRATION 1. GENERAL PROTECTIVE FORCE POSITIONS. Protective force (PF) positions include both armed and unarmed positions for the purpose of protecting Department of Energy (DOE) assets including facilities, personnel, sensitive materials, and other property against threats identified in DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy. a. Security officers (SOs) are unarmed contractor employees who conduct security duties at DOE facilities. SOs are not authorized to carry firearms and are not empowered with any arrest authority. b. Security police officers (SPOs) are armed contractor employees who require firearms/arrest authority pursuant to section 161k. of the Atomic Energy Act [42 U.S.C. 2201(k)] or section 661 of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7270a) as an official function or duty. c. SPOs are categorized according to a three-level system (SPO-I, -II, and -III) that tailors training requirements to assigned duties. Job analyses (JAs) must ensure

Section 24

that individual and unit tactical combat skills are included as part of assigned duties for SPOs located at Tactical Response Force (TRF) facilities. Contractors must obtain DOE cognizant security authority approval for JAs to ensure that the knowledge, skills, and abilities address the duties of each SPO job assignment and support the primary mission of successfully defeating the armed terrorist threat. 2. CAREER LONGEVITY PLAN. The career longevity plan is focused on supporting PF employees who must maintain medical and physical fitness standards required to field a TRF at facilities employing strategies that require recapture/recovery and fresh pursuit capabilities. The plan is intended as a tool to aid in selecting personnel from existing resources for less strenuous positions in support of implementing the DOE Tactical Doctrine prescribed in DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management. Local collective bargaining unit provisions and union seniority will govern the specific application of this tool. a. Security Police Officer-II. (1) To promote career longevity, SPO-II will be the entry level protective force position for new hires at TRF facilities. New hires will begin employment meeting the highest level of medical and physical fitness standards within the PF. (2) The TRF-1 course will address all SPO-II tasks required to prepare them for duty. (3) An SPO-II may staff an SPO-I post; however, an SPO-I may not staff an SPO-II post. SPO-IIs may apply for available SPO-I or SO vacancies. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page III-2 11-5-08 (4) Failure to maintain minimum firearms qualification scores or training does not qualify an SPO-II for consideration for an SPO-I or SO vacancy. (5) Failure to maintain minimum firearms qualification scores or training will be grounds for removal from SPO status. b. Security Police Officer-III. (1) A person who has successfully completed TRF-1 training may then be eligible for selection to fill SPO-III vacancies. (2) New employees may be hired to fill SPO-III vacancies directly; however, they must complete TRF-1 training before progressing to the SPO-III course (TRF-2). (3) If personnel are being hired to fill an SPO-III vacancy, stipulations may be established and enforced regarding successful completion of both the TRF-1 and TRF-2 courses for continued retention. (4) Once qualified as an SPO-III, personnel must maintain SPO-III qualifications unless they apply and are selected for an SPO-II vacancy. (5) Failure to maintain minimum firearms qualification scores or training and the absence of an SPO-II vacancy for which they are qualified will be grounds for removal from SPO status. (6) SPO-IIIs may apply for SPO-II, I, and SO vacancies. c. Security Police Officer-I. At TRF facilities where SPO-I positions have been validated, they are recommended as career progression opportunities for SPOs who can no longer maintain SPO-II and SPO-III medical and physical fitness standards. d. Security Officer. At TRF facilities where SO positions have been validated, they are recommended as career progression opportunities for SPOs who can no longer maintain SPO medical and physical fitness standards. 3. EQUIPMENT. a. PFs must be equipped and provided with the necessary resources to effectively, efficiently, and safely perform both routine and emergency duties in daylight or under reduced visibility conditions.

Only ammunition approved for use by the range master may be used within the LFSH. c. Targets and Bullet Traps. Various types of targets may be used within the LFSH. Target placement must meet the requirements of this Section. A target or target system that fails these requirements may not be used within the LFSH. Targets should be placed on bullet traps so the maximum effective area of the trap is used to contain rounds to prevent rounds from penetrating the trap’s construction joints. (1) Three-Dimensional Targets. Three-dimensional targets may be used with the approval of the range master. Firing angles must be verified by the lead instructor to ensure rounds are contained within approved bullet traps or backstops. (2) Bullet Traps. Bullet traps must be approved by the range master before use within the LFSH. Any bullet trap that appears to be in need of repair should not be used during live-fire training. Bullet traps must be angled at least 7 degrees from vertical to the potential shooting position and positioned so that a shooter cannot engage a target at less than a 60-degree horizontal angle. Blinders, obstructions, or other means may be used to obtain this angle limitation. Bullet traps and targets will not be positioned to allow a shooter to fire outside LFSH limitations. d. Diversionary Devices. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page IX-11 (1) Shooters must wear fire-resistant gloves during diversionary device deployment. (2) Full-charge diversionary devices must not be deployed into occupied rooms or hallways. (3) Functional reduced-charge diversionary devices may be deployed into occupied areas during training activities. (4) Instructions on the approved procedures for the safe handling of dud diversionary devices will be provided to all participants and will be followed at all times. e. Reduced Lighting Operations. For reduced lighting operations, ensure that: (1) The LFSH lighting system is operational; (2) The shooters’ lighting systems are operational; (3) Chemical light sticks or other effective means are available for identification of both shooters and instructors. Chemical lights for instructors must be a different color from those worn by shooters so instructors may be easily identified; and (4) The assault is practiced during lighted conditions before conducting the assault under no- or low-light conditions. f. Elevated Observation Control Platform. All LFSHs must be equipped with an EOCP to maintain positive observation of live-fire activities. g. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). All personnel using an LFSH must adhere

Section 46

to risk controls identified in LFSH training course risk analyses, to include PPE requirements. h. Weapons Loading and Unloading. Weapons loading and unloading must be done under the supervision of an instructor at a specially designated area in the vicinity of the LFSH. 6. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIREARMS QUALIFICATION. The following general instructions must be followed during firearms qualification courses. a. Shooters must maintain silence on the line so they can hear and interpret range commands. b. All range commands or questions to the line must be issued by the lead instructor. c. Shooters must not move off the line or pick up any equipment or brass until the line is declared safe and the line is told to act by the lead instructor. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page IX-12 11-5-08 d. Shooters on the line must commence firing on command only. Shooters must cease fire immediately when commanded to do so. e. A shooter on the line holding a firearm must always maintain the muzzle pointed downrange or in a depressed low ready position as directed by the lead instructor. f. Shooters must fire all rounds at the center of mass of the target presented to them, unless otherwise directed. g. Shooters must always wear approved sight and hearing protection. h. Shooters may touch the trigger only when the sights of the firearm are aligned with the target. Until then, the shooters must keep their trigger fingers extended straight alongside the receiver or frame. i. Shooters must not attempt to catch brass or to eject brass into collection containers. j. Shooters must reload using ammunition pouches, speed loaders, magazines, or magazine pouches that are provided and/or worn on duty. Pouches or carriers that require snaps or other closures must be in the snapped or closed position before initiation of a stage. k. The lead instructor must ensure the firing line is clear of debris (e.g., magazines, brass, and ammunition boxes) and equipment to prevent injury to shooters moving from one position or distance to another. l. If a shooter experiences a malfunction during a course, he or she must attempt to clear the malfunction using proper clearing methods. If the shooter properly clears the malfunction and the threat remains, the shooter will complete the course of fire. If the threat is no longer visible, an alibi is provided. m. If a shooter experiences a malfunction during a course and does not attempt to clear that malfunction using proper clearing methods, an alibi will not be provided. n. Shooters with an alibi must be allowed to complete a string. o. Adjustable sights on all non-individually assigned firearms must be set in a standard manner so all shooters know the point of impact and can make aiming adjustments quickly and consistently to permit accurate initial fire. p. The lead instructor may authorize firearms or magazines to be fully loaded, unless otherwise specified, for all stages/strings; however, the shooter must clear the chamber between stages when the next stage begins at a half load. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page IX-13 (and Page IX-14) q. Firearms shall be placed in a safe condition, e.g., selector lever placed on safe, mechanical safety engaged or de-cocked as appropriate, after every string unless otherwise directed by the lead instructor. r. Shooters must place a shoulder-fired firearm to the shoulder and align the sights

Section 47

with the target for every string unless the stage specifies another position (i.e., the low ready). s. When required, shooters must use only approved flashlights with a pressure switch that turns the flashlight on when pressed and off when released. t. When firing for qualification, SPOs according to SPO level, must wear all equipment required by this CRD and site-specific requirements for duty and tactical responses. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-1 CHAPTER X – FIREARMS OPERATIONS 1. BASIC CONSIDERATIONS. a. General. (1) Specific site policies and procedures covering the safe transportation, handling, use and storage of live ammunition, blank ammunition, chemical munitions, and pyrotechnic devices used in firearms operations must be developed. (2) Each Department of Energy (DOE) cognizant security authority must require that analyses be performed to determine what ammunition and firearms can be used safely. (3) All personnel covered by this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) must be required to comply with the personal protective equipment and safety rules in effect at each workplace. (4) Duty firearms must be in serviceable condition at all times. Semiautomatic pistols must be carried with a round in the chamber. Other duty and auxiliary firearms configurations (loaded or unloaded) must be as specified by the DOE cognizant security authority. b. Post and Patrol Activities. (1) Routine loading or clearing of firearms must take place only in an approved area or when the barrel of the firearm is in or pointing toward a bullet containment device. An approved procedure must be developed for loading and clearing firearms under field conditions when no bullet containment device is available. (2) Routine loading and clearing of all firearms must be witnessed by a supervisor or a designated DOE National Training Center (NTC)-certified firearms instructor. (3) If the presence of alcohol or drugs is detected on an individual, they must be denied the issuance of a firearm and/or disarmed and removed from duty. (4) All duty firearms must be carried in the manner approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. Unless otherwise stated, from check-in to check-out a handgun must be holstered, and a rifle, shotgun, or submachine gun must be carried on an appropriate sling with the muzzle pointed up or down, except when the firearm is designed to be carried in a different manner or operational conditions dictate otherwise. Firearms must not be carried with a finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page X-2 11-5-08 (5) When firearms are transported in vehicles, watercraft, or aircraft and are not carried by an individual, they must be mounted in an appropriate rack or container with the firing chamber empty. During normal operations, long guns (e.g., rifles, shotguns, submachine guns) must not be carried with a round in the firing chamber. Long guns must never be placed in post or vehicle racks or carriers with a round in the firing chamber. c. Firearms, Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, and Explosives. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be available in sufficient quantity to permit protective force (PF) personnel to act according to response plans. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be of a type suitable for the intended use, deployed in a manner commensurate with that use, and controlled in

Section 48

a manner consistent with DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual, and paragraph 3c(3) below. The firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives used must pose the minimum danger to personnel and facilities commensurate with the success of the PF mission. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be carried and transported safely and securely. Any discharge of a firearm for other than training purposes must be reported (See DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management). d. Sights. All unassigned firearms with adjustable sights must have the sights set in a manner to ensure that PF personnel who may use these firearms know the point of impact and can make point-of-aim adjustments quickly and consistently to permit accurate initial fire. For duty weapons sight adjustment and bullet impact must be verified semiannually (at least every 6 months) by live fire or using a sighting device that simulates bullet impact. Such sighting devices must be approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. e. Spare Firearms. Each site must demonstrate that there are sufficient spare firearms of each type deployed onsite to satisfy all contingency/response plans and training requirements. f. PF Firearms, Ammunition, and Explosives. Firearms, ammunition, and explosives used by PF must be based on consideration of DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy, assigned missions, the Site Security Plan (SSP) and vulnerability assessment (VA), and approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. Use of explosives is addressed in DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual. g. Firearms Trigger Safety Locks. (1) Trigger safety locks must be issued to any contractor employees issued firearms who are permitted, for any reason, to take the firearms offsite; and may not maintain continuous possession of the firearms. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-3 (2) A trigger safety lock must be installed and locked any time a firearm is taken offsite and out of the immediate physical possession or immediate control of the individual to whom the firearm was issued. (3) Any firearm shipped or transported offsite (e.g., via Federal Express, in checked baggage, etc.) must be locked with a trigger safety lock or placed in a locked container. Firearms shipped in bulk must be secured in a locked or banded container. Firearms that cannot fire live ammunition [i.e., engagement simulation systems (ESSs) including dedicated blank-fire, multiple integrated laser engagement system and dye-marking cartridge (DMC) firearms] are not required to be individually locked with a trigger safety lock but must be secured in a locked or banded container. h. Firearms Modifications. Modifications to firearms must be conducted by a DOE-certified armorer. (1) Approved Modifications. Contractors must request and receive written approval from the DOE cognizant security authority before a DOE firearm (live-fire or ESSs firearm) may be modified. Modifications of the DOE Firearms Modification List (FML), as approved by the Office of Security Policy, may be made after the DOE cognizant security authority has granted approval. The current DOE-approved FML is maintained by the Office of Security Policy and located on the Health, Safety and Security (HSS)/NTC websites www.hss.energy.gov and www.ntc.doe.gov. (2) Non-Approved Modifications. (a) Contractor requests for modifications not on the FML must be

Section 49

submitted in writing to the Office of Security Policy with the following: 1 a general description of the modification; 2 the purpose/objective of the modification; 3 a detailed, step-by-step description of the process used to make the modification, with mechanical and/or illustrative drawings; 4 a description of the post-modification testing to be conducted; and 5 the number of firearms to be modified. (b) The request will be forwarded to the NTC for review by its armorer section. The NTC will provide written comments and/or a recommendation to the Office of Security Policy and the DOE cognizant security authority. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page X-4 11-5-08 (c) Upon review and concurrence, based on the NTC’s recommendation, the modification may be approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. Once approved, the modification must be submitted to the Office of Security Policy for inclusion in the FML. (3) ESS Firearms Modifications. (a) Contractors must not reactivate dedicated ESS firearms for live-fire usage without the approval of the DOE cognizant security authority. (b) If a factory “drop-in” kit is used to modify a firearm to use DMC, a DOE-certified armorer specifically trained in the installation of such a kit must conduct the modification. (c) Contractor must submit proposed modifications of ESS firearms to change their function in any way or to enhance their safety to the Office of Security Policy for approval through the cognizant security authority. The provisions of paragraph 1h(2), above, apply. 1 Weapons with modifications that have not been approved in writing by the Office of Security Policy must not be issued for use. 2 The current list of DOE-approved ESS firearms and modifications, “Firearms Modification List,” is provided on the HSS/NTC websites atwww.hss.energy.gov and www.ntc.doe.gov. (d) ESS firearm modifications include any changes made to a firearm system, magazine, clip, feeding assembly, or blank-fire adaptor. 2. AUTHORIZED FIREARMS. Commonality of firearms enhances the efficiency of standard and centralized training and enables inter-site assistance in the event of a security incident or other situation requiring supplemental or replacement forces. a. The following weapons constitute DOE-authorized firearm systems: (1) handgun: semi-automatic, 9mm or greater. (2) duty rifle: M-16 family of rifles and variants, 5.56mm or greater. (3) shotgun: 12 gauge. (4) precision rifle: 7.62mm or greater. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-5 (5) 40mm grenade launcher: Military Model 203 and variants; multiple grenade launchers; Military Model 79 and variants. (6) belt-fed machine guns: 5.56mm or greater. b. Because multiple agencies and contracts are involved in a centralized procurement, where possible, the Office of Health, Safety and Security will coordinate the acquisition of weapons. Existing procurement contracts and Federal interagency support agreements will be used. Otherwise, the DOE cognizant security authority is responsible for coordinating the procurement of site weapons. (1) Replacement of current inventories with authorized weapons is intended to occur as firearms become due for replacement. (2) The firearms authorized in paragraph 2a, above, provide the needed capability for the majority of Departmental missions within site-specific conditions; however, operational, safety, or other requirements may

Section 50

dictate the need for an alternative firearm. (3) Contractor deviations from or additions to this list must be submitted for approval by the Office of Health, Safety and Security, or the Associate Administrator for Defense Nuclear Security, as applicable. If unable to obtain any needed firearms through interagency agreements pursuant to the Economy Act, contractors will comply with the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Subpart 6.3. 3. STORAGE OF FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, PYROTECHNICS, AND EXPLOSIVES. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be stored safely according to a security plan approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. They may be stored under the direct control of PF personnel. Alternatively, they may be stored in a vault-type room if an intrusion detection system is installed to detect penetration and the alarm response capability is such that unauthorized removal is unlikely. a. Bulk Storage. Bulk quantities of ammunition, pyrotechnics, or explosives that are not used routinely, and/or are stored for long periods of time, must be stored in facilities that meet design criteria specified in DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual. These storage facilities must be located within a designated security area. b. Storage Containers. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be stored in General Services Administration-approved firearms storage containers that are bolted or otherwise secured to the structure or under alarm coverage. Where the weight of the storage container would deter its removal, the requirement to bolt or secure it does not apply. Firearms that are not in such containers or under alarm coverage must be locked in racks, chained, or cabled to prevent unauthorized removal. Racks securing unattended firearms that are not Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page X-6 11-5-08 under alarm coverage must be designed to prevent removal via partial disassembly of the firearm. c. Storage of Ammunition. Applicable requirements for the storage of commonly used PF munitions can be found in DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual and in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 6055.9-STD, DoD Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards. (1) Storage Structures. Refer to DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual for guidance on design of structures for storing munitions. (2) Hazard Class and Hazard Division. For the purpose of placarding, the United Nations Organization or the National Fire Protection Association hazard classification systems must be used. (3) Storage of Small Arms Ammunition. Articles in Hazard Class/Division 1.4 and Storage Compatibility Group S are considered as inert for storage purposes and require only appropriate fire-protection requirements for distance separation as long as they are stored only with inert items or other 1.4 S items. This applies only if the Hazard Class/Division 1.4 and Storage Compatibility Group S articles remain in their original packaging containers. When stored with items in a Storage Compatibility Group other than S, normal quantity-distance requirements must be observed (see Chapter II, Section 17 of DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual). Live ammunition and ESS-related ammunition (i.e., blank fire, DMC, dummy rounds, etc.) must be stored separately. Separate storage could be placing live and ESS ammunition in separate, secured storage

Section 51

containers in the same location or storing them in separate locations. d. Firearms Storage. (1) Firearms not identified for duty or contingency use and having a valid justification for retention must be stored in a manner that will prevent deterioration due to environmental conditions. (2) Offsite storage of firearms must be specified and authorized by a DOE cognizant security authority. (3) Dedicated ESS firearms must be stored separately from live firearms. Separate storage may be attained by placing live firearms and ESS firearms in separate, secured storage containers in the same location or by storing in separate locations. e. Approved Ammunition. (1) Ammunition and explosives used by PF personnel must be based on consideration of DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-7 Policy assigned missions, the SSP and VA, and approved by the DOE cognizant security authority. (2) Ammunition used for duty, live-fire training and qualification, ESS training and other non-lethal training must be of high quality and factory new. Reloaded, reprocessed, or military surplus ammunition must not be used. Ammunition must not be unboxed and placed in bulk containers. f. On-Post Firearms, Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, and Explosives. Auxiliary firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives that are maintained at posts for use during response to security incidents must be under the direct control of, and readily accessible to, on-duty PF personnel. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be secured in such a manner that they are inaccessible to, and cannot be removed by, persons passing through or by the post. g. Pre-positioned Pyrotechnics and Explosives. In support of PF response plans and strategies, limited quantities of pyrotechnics and explosives may be pre-positioned at approved locations (e.g., PF posts, response vehicles, etc.). Pre-positioned pyrotechnics and explosives must be kept in their original containers unless operational and response requirements dictate otherwise. These pyrotechnics and explosives must be readily accessible to authorized PF personnel and secured in such a manner that they are inaccessible to, and cannot be removed by, persons passing through, by, or in the post. PF personnel charged with the responsibility of employing and overseeing the storage of pyrotechnics and explosives must be trained in their use and storage (See DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual). 4. SAFE TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING OF MUNITIONS. a. Transportation of Munitions. (1) Transportation of munitions on public highways must be governed by DOT regulations [49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 173, Shippers–General Requirements for Shipments and Packaging]. For transportation purposes only, munitions must be given DOT hazard class designations. (2) Transportation of munitions onsite must be performed commensurate with the requirements contained in Chapter II, Section 16, of DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual. Munitions not in original DOT containers must be transported in containers specified in the above Manual. (3) PF duty vehicles are authorized to transport the quantity of munitions needed to support approved contingency plans and to execute PF duties. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page X-8 11-5-08 (4) Whenever possible, support munitions required for defense against hostile

Section 52

forces should be pre-positioned in readily accessible magazines. (5) PF vehicles loaded with a combination of up to 25 pounds net explosive weight of Hazard Class/Division 1.1 and 1.2 munitions are exempt from explosives quantity-distance requirements when executing approved contingency plans or PF duties. (a) Vehicles so loaded must not be used for administrative purposes. (b) Vehicles so loaded must be separated from inhabited facilities and property lines by a minimum of 125 feet when temporarily out of PF service. (c) Vehicles so loaded must be downloaded into properly sited magazines or approved facilities when parked for periods in excess of one PF shift. (6) Operation of explosives-loaded vehicles must be restricted to onsite locations unless involved in a pursuit role. (7) The explosives must be secured within the vehicle to prevent movement and to preclude unauthorized removal. (8) These vehicles must be downloaded into properly sited magazines or approved facilities before repair or maintenance. (9) Munitions in the vehicle must not be exposed to temperatures that exceed the criteria stated on the material safety data sheet or manufacturer’s recommendation. Appropriate safety precautions will be taken to ensure munitions are not exposed to extreme temperatures. (10) PF personnel may be allowed to carry on their person Hazard Class/Division 1.1 and 1.2 munitions issued to them for use in the execution of approved contingency plans without regard to explosives quantity-distance requirements. b. Handling of Munitions. (1) Munitions must be protected from abnormal stimuli or environments such as impact, shock, high temperatures, or open flames. (2) Smoking must be prohibited when handling, transporting, or storing munitions. Matches, lighters, other fire-, flame-, or spark-producing devices must not be taken into a munitions storage area; appropriate signs or markings must be posted at such areas. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-9 5. FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION. Firearms available for duty or contingency operations must be inspected by a DOE-certified armorer before initial use and at least every 6 months thereafter to determine their serviceability. Firearms must be cleaned and maintained in a manner that meets or exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendations. a. Authorization. An armorer certified by the NTC is the only individual authorized to perform the following firearms activities. (1) Semiannual (at least every 6 months) inspections. (2) Any firearms repair. (3) Any firearms modification or component alteration. (4) Any disassembly beyond the manufacturer’s recommended “field strip” for cleaning purposes. b. Inspection Criteria. (1) All duty firearms and those used by training and/or qualifications must be inspected semiannually (at least every 6 months) by a DOE-certified armorer. Inspections must consist of a detailed disassembly of the firearm’s components. The armorer must inspect the components for excessive wear, cracks, or breaks. In addition, the armorer must ensure the firearm meets all manufacturing tolerances relevant to the maintenance of that firearm guaranteeing safe and reliable firearm function. A bench function check will not constitute an inspection. (2) The armorer must inspect and conduct test firings of a firearm following any unusual operation of, occurrence with, or functional repairs made to

Section 53

that firearm. Functional repairs are those that affect the safe operation or reliability of the firearm. Any firearm that has experienced an unusual operation must be tagged “out-of-service” and segregated from operational firearms until certified by the armorers as being safe to operate. (3) The armorer must maintain accurate individual records for all firearms including manufacturer, model type or number, serial number, inspection dates, and the nature and date of any repair or modification. Records of any unusual occurrence and subsequent inspection/test firing must be maintained in accordance with prescribed authorized schedules. (4) For safe operations, the minimum trigger pull for firearms must not be less than the requirement specified by the manufacturer. (5) Stored firearms must be inspected before return to active inventory. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page X-10 11-5-08 (6) Duty ammunition must be exchanged for fresh ammunition annually (at least every 12 months) except where impractical due to the prohibitive costs for replacement ammunition (e.g., 40mm and armor piercing rounds). Duty ammunition is that which is loaded in a weapon or magazine. c. Test Firing. (1) The armorer must coordinate test firing of any firearm following unusual operations or occurrences. (2) All firearms must be test-fired following the repair or replacement of components listed in the DOE Armorers’ Technical Guide that involve the functioning of the weapon. The need for test firing of firearms following other repairs must be according to local site standard operating procedures or left to the discretion of the armorer. d. ESS Weapons. (1) Armorers working on ESS weapon systems must familiarize themselves with all DOE documentation that deals with deploying the weapons. They must also know their site’s specific rules pertaining to ESS weapon use. (2) Armorers who work on ESS firearm systems must learn the various modifications on these firearms through NTC on-the-job training, training provided through the Armorers Quality Panel, or both. (3) Only DOE-certified armorers may install DMC conversion kits. (a) DMC conversion kits must be installed and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. (b) Before use, the armorer must ensure that the conversion kit is properly installed, the bore is free from fouling, and the components are in good working order. 6. PYROTECHNICS AND EXPLOSIVES INSPECTION. Pyrotechnics, explosives, and any associated equipment available for use during routine or contingency operations must be inspected by qualified PF personnel before each use and at least every 3 months to ensure they are properly stored, stable, and within current shelf-life and use requirements. Pyrotechnic and explosives inspections are further addressed in DOE M 440.1-1A, DOE Explosives Safety Manual. 7. INVENTORY OF FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, PYROTECHNICS, AND EXPLOSIVES. Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives inventories must be maintained to allow efficient and effective arming and training of PF personnel. DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page X-11 (and Page X-12) a. Live-Firearms Inventory. Due to the remote location of some training facilities, some site inventories may require live-fire weapons for training and qualification. Therefore, additional inventories of firearms may be maintained to support live firearms training activities. All issued firearms must be inventoried by a number

Section 54

count at the beginning of each shift. All firearms in storage must be inventoried by a number count weekly. An inventory of all firearms, listing the type of firearm, the manufacturer, and its serial number must be conducted monthly. Firearms that are not identified for duty or contingency use may be inventoried by container in the event a complete container inventory has been conducted previously and the container is secured by a serial-numbered security seal. b. Dedicated ESS Firearms Inventory. Departmental safety instructions require that firearms used for ESS activities be permanently modified and not routinely transferred between live and non-lethal uses. Additional inventories of dedicated ESS firearms may be maintained to support ESS training activities. Dedicated ESS firearms must be inventoried by a number count before and after each use. An inventory of dedicated ESS firearms listing the type of firearm, the manufacturer, and its serial number must be conducted monthly. ESS firearms that are not in continual use may be inventoried by container in the event a complete container inventory has been conducted previously and the container is secured by a serial-numbered security seal. c. Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, and Explosives Inventory. Ammunition must be inventoried annually (at least every 12 months). Pyrotechnics and explosives must be inventoried monthly. Pre-positioned pyrotechnics and explosives must be inventoried by a number count at the beginning of each shift. Pyrotechnics and explosives stored in bulk, which are not identified for duty or contingency use, may be inventoried by container if a complete container inventory has been conducted previously and the container is secured by a serial-numbered security seal. d. Inventory Shortages. After conducting a preliminary inquiry involving an indication of an unaccounted for, missing, or stolen firearm; any quantity of explosive; any live ammunition, .408 CheyTac caliber or larger (including 40mm HE/HEDP/TP); 100 rounds or more of ammunition smaller than .408 CheyTac caliber; or any pyrotechnic, ammunition, or training device not legal for civilian sale, purchase or use, PF management must immediately report such a shortage to the DOE cognizant security authority, who must report to the DOE Headquarters Operations Center within 24 hours. The DOE cognizant security authority must then prepare and transmit an Incident of Security Concern report (see DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management). DOE M 470.4-3A Attachment 1 11-5-08 Page XI-1 CHAPTER XI – FIREARMS QUALIFICATIONS 1. SCOPE. a. Firearms qualification courses located on the Health, Safety and Security (HSS)/National Training Center (NTC) www.hss.energy.gov and www.ntc.doe.gov are approved by the Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer for firearms qualification and requalification to ensure that protective force (PF) personnel are uniformly qualified with the firearms and munitions they are authorized to carry. The courses evaluate basic shooting skills with various authorized firearms. Additional requirements for firearms training and qualifications are set forth in 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1046, Physical Protection of Security Interests, and this Contractor Requirements Document (CRD). b. The courses provide the specific implementation of 10 CFR Part 1046, Physical

Section 55

Protection of Security Interests, which requires PF personnel to have the level of skills and knowledge needed to perform all essential functions associated with PF job responsibilities. Site-specific conditions and the deployment of firearms may justify requirements for developing and implementing supplementary special firearms training and qualification courses (e.g., aerial firing platforms, executive protection, vehicle mounted firearms, fragmentation grenades). c. PF personnel will achieve high standards of marksmanship and proficiency in related shooting skills to successfully complete the firearms qualification courses. Periodic training must supplement all approved courses. Shooting skills are enhanced by training and testing knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), as appropriate (e.g., firearms manipulation; target discrimination; the engagement of moving, multiple, and reactive targets; and shooting under stress). The firearms qualification courses located on the HSS/NTC websites may be used for training and must be used to determine whether PF personnel are qualified to be armed with a particular firearm. d. All firearms qualification courses must be conducted by firearms instructors certified by the NTC for instruction in the various firearms used during the specific courses (e.g., a submachine gun qualification course must be conducted by an instructor certified at the Advanced Firearms Systems Instructor Certification level). 2. REQUIREMENTS. Armed PF personnel must qualify semiannually (at least every 6 months) with assigned firearms on the applicable DOE firearms qualification courses. a. Security Police Officer-Is. (1) SPO-Is assigned a handgun must, at a minimum, fire the DOE approved standard day and reduced lighting handgun qualification courses. Attachment 1 DOE M 470.4-3A Page XI-2 11-5-08 (2) SPO-Is assigned a handgun and rifle must, at a minimum, fire the DOE approved standard day and reduced lighting handgun and rifle qualification courses. b. Security Police Officer-IIs assigned a handgun and rifle must, at a minimum, fire the DOE approved standard Day Handgun and Day Rifle Qualification Courses or an approved day combined handgun/rifle qualification course; and the DOE approved standard Reduced Lighting Handgun and Rifle Qualification Courses. c. Security Police Officer-IIIs. (1) SPO-IIIs assigned a handgun and rifle must, at a minimum, fire the DOE approved standard Day Handgun and Day Rifle Qualification Courses, the SPO-III Day Combined Handgun and SPO-III Day Combined Sub-Machinegun (SMG)/Rifle Qualification Courses, or an approved day combined handgun/rifle qualification course; the DOE approved standard Reduced Lighting Handgun and Rifle Qualification Courses, and the live-fire shoot house (LFSH) Closed Door Skills Test Qualification Course.
