(5) Affected laboratory/plant/site management contractors are responsible for notifying subcontractors of the requirements of the CRD. c. Equivalencies/Exemptions for DOE O 475.3. (1) Equivalencies and exemptions to this Order are processed in accordance with DOE O 251.1, Departmental Directives Program, current version. (2) In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order (EO) 12344, codified at 50 USC sections 2406 and 2511 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy/DOE Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) will implement and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to this Order for activities under the Director's cognizance, as deemed appropriate. 4. REQUIREMENTS. a. It is Departmental policy that all DOE intelligence and counterintelligence activities must conform to the applicable provisions of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended; EO 12333, United States Intelligence Activities, as amended, and such Executive Orders as may supersede it; Department of Energy Procedures for Intelligence Activities; and all other applicable laws, Executive Orders, regulations, and directives (see section 7, References). In accordance with EO 12333 section 1.7(i)(1-2), the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (IN) duties and responsibilities include:

(1) Collecting (overtly and through publicly available sources), analyzing, producing, and disseminating intelligence and counterintelligence information to support national and Departmental missions; and (2) Conducting and participating in analytic or information exchanges with foreign partners and international organizations in accordance with EO 12333 sections 1.3(b)(4) and 1.7(a)(6). b. The Head of the Departmental Element (HDE), or designee, must notify the CO and other appropriate subject matter experts in the organization that this Order applies to an existing contract or to a solicitation for a future contract. For existing contracts, the HDE must designate appropriate representatives to work with the CO to develop an appropriately tailored set of standards, practices, and controls. (1) For existing management and operations (M&O) contracts, after being notified by the HDE or designee, the CO must provide the contractor with the opportunity to assess the effect of incorporating the CRD on contract DOE O 475.3 3 02-23-2026 cost, funding, schedule, and technical performance, and to provide input on the appropriately tailored set of requirements for the contract. All associated activities will be accomplished in a timely manner and, if applicable, in accordance with the timelines established in Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) 970.5204-2. The CO will incorporate the CRD without alteration. (2) For existing non-M&O contracts, after being notified by the HDE or designee, the CO must provide the contractor the opportunity to assess the effect of incorporating the CRD on contract cost, funding, schedule, and technical performance, and to provide input on the appropriately tailored set of requirements for the contract. Non-M&O contracts do not give the CO the unilateral right to modify them, except within the limitations established in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Therefore, the CO must attempt to incorporate the CRD bilaterally. If attempts to negotiate the requirement into the contract bilaterally are not successful, the CO must consult with the Head of Contracting Activity (HCA), Headquarters program office, and General Counsel. The CO must incorporate the CRD without alteration unless the CRD or Order permits alteration and the appropriate process is followed. 5. RESPONSIBILITIES. a.
