CANCELLATION. DOE O 580.1, Chg 1, Department of Energy Personal Property Management Program, dated 05-08-08. Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual or regulatory obligation to comply with the directive. Contractor Requirements Documents (CRDs) that have been incorporated into a contract remain in effect throughout the term of the contract unless and until the contract or regulatory commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. Departmental Applicability. This Order applies to all DOE elements with personal property management responsibilities. Each organizational entity is responsible for ensuring personal property items that may reveal classified or controlled unclassified information (i.e., Official Use Only or Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information) are managed and controlled in accordance with the requirements found in other DOE directives or Agency regulations, to include those specified in the References section. The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must assure that NNSA employees comply with their responsibilities under this directive. Nothing in this directive 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 equivalencies/exemptions in paragraph 3.c., the Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) sets forth requirements of this Order that will apply to contracts that include the CRD. The CRD must be included in all contracts for the management and operation of Department-owned facilities. The CRD or its requirements must be included in non-Management and Operating 2 DOE O 580.1A 3-30-12 (M&O) contracts that require management of DOE-owned or leased personal property. c. This Order does not apply to classified property, nuclear weapons, nuclear material as listed in DOE O 474.2, intellectual property, internal use software, records and information, motor vehicles, or real property. d. Equivalencies/Exemptions for DOE O 580.1A. (1) Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 USC sections 2406 and

2511, and to ensure consistency through 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 Directive for activities under the Director's cognizance, as deemed appropriate.

Voluntary Consensus Standards. Voluntary Consensus Standards (VCS), such as ASTM International, or Industry Leading Practices (ILP), are to be used to the greatest degree practical for the management of personal property, as deemed appropriate by the Organizational Property Management Officer (OPMO). b. Identification. (1) Wherever practical, and in consultation with the OPMO, property must be identified or tagged as U.S. Government property (or U.S. DOE). (2) Goverment tags must be removed or permanently covered to the extent practical before formal release from DOE inventory. c. Accountable Property. (1) Accountable Property. Accountable personal property is any property item having an original unit acquisition cost of $10,000 or more, or meeting the sensitive property/High Risk Personal Property (HRPP) definitions, or precious metals. Accountable property records must be managed and maintained current in a property management system of record from inception to formal disposition and removal from DOE inventory. (2) Other Accountable Property. Accountable property records may also be established for items that do not otherwise meet the accountable property DOE O 580.1A 3 3-30-12 threshold or sensitive/high risk definitions or precious metals, when the OPMO has determined that, notwithstanding its acquisition cost, an item must be controlled and managed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss; or whenever required by law, policy, regulation, or agency direction. Examples of such property considerations include: (a) Property containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), as determined by the site’s cyber security Risk Management Approach or appropriate program management; and (b) Pilferable items, i.e., designated by each organizational entity, as especially subject to loss, and if unaccounted for, presents a significant concern for disruption to mission operations. (3) Capitalized Property. The capitalization threshold for items acquired prior to October 1, 2011 is $50,000. For items acquired on or after October 1, 2011, the threshold is $500,000. Capital equipment is to be managed in accordance with DOE Financial Management Handbook. (4) Accountable Records. Accountable property records must include, at a minimum, the following information: (a) Property Control Number (agency item unique identification), (b) Contract number or equivalent, (c) Receipt or acceptance date, (d) Description, (e) Manufacturer and model number, serial number and/or National Stock Number, (f) Unit acquisition cost (as appropriate, depreciated value), (g) Quantity and unit of measure (e.g., received, fabricated, issued, or on hand), (h) Owner (custodial or organizational), (i) Location, (j) Use status (active, storage, excess, retired, etc.), (k) High Risk designation, export control jurisdiction, and relevant export control regulation citation, as applicable, (l) Condition code.

4 DOE O 580.1A 3-30-12 d. Sensitive Property. (1) Each DOE element must develop and maintain a list of personal property items to be controlled as sensitive. A Sensitive Items List must be approved by the OPMO annually. Refer to the ―Sensitive Property‖ definition in Attachment 2. e. High Risk Personal Property. (1) This Order only applies to a specific subset of HRPP (reference 41 CFR 109) defined below. (2) Export Controlled HRPP is: (a) Property especially designed or prepared (EDP) for use in the nuclear fuel cycle illustrative list in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulation 10 CFR part 110, including items listed in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) Trigger List (International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Information Circular 254, Part 1). (b) Property listed on the Department of Commerce Control List (15 CFR part 774) because of dual-use applications in the design, development, production or use of weapons of mass destruction, and conventional weapons, including property as listed in the NSG Dual-Use List (IAEA Information Circular 254, Part 2), and the International Control Lists of the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, and the Wassenaar Arrangement. (c) Property listed on the Department of State U.S. Munitions List (22 CFR part 121), and the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, excluding nuclear weapon components or weapon-like components that contain nuclear material as listed in DOE O 474.2. (3) Firearms, Ammunition, Pyrotechnics, and Explosives. Organizations with approved use of firearm, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives, and their associated components must have processes in place to ensure the safe handling, storage, inventory control, and maintenance of this HRPP. Refer to Paragraph 4.i (Loaning Personal Property) for loaning of firearms. (4) HRPP must be identified at acquisition or, if modified, whenever it comes under U.S. export controls that makes it HRPP, and must be controlled through disposition. Additionally, any required reviews for classification and controlled unclassified information (i.e., Official Use Only and Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information) must be conducted in accordance with the applicable DOE directives and Agency regulations, to include those specified in the References section. DOE O 580.1A 5 3-30-12 (5) For the purposes of this Order, nuclear weapon components or nuclear weapon-like components that do not contain nuclear material listed in DOE O 474.2, and Trigger List items that are to be permanently buried must follow the requirements in DOE O 471.6 and other applicable agency directives. Items buried must be reported as ―retired‖ in the property system of record. f. Precious Metals Management. Protocols for the control, utilization and disposition of precious metals must include the establishment of stringent physical protection from receipt to final disposition. (1) Unused or unneeded precious metals are to be returned to the DOE applicable business center.

(3) When requested, provide the DOE applicable business center a forecast of anticipated withdrawals and returns of precious metals. g. Administratively Controlled Items.

Administratively controlled items, although not accountable property, merit deliberate internal controls to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized removal, and abuse. h. Physical Inventories. Properly planned and executed physical inventories serve to continuously monitor property condition and operational availability, and validate accountable property record accuracy. The scheduling, type, method, and scope of the physical inventory process is to align with management expectations and risks. (1) Physical inventories of Sensitive Property and Precious Metals must be conducted at least annually with an inventory accuracy expectation of 100%. The inventory method selected is to be approved by the OPMO. (2) HRPP must be inventoried at least annually. However, when a complete physical inventory (existence testing) is not appropriate, a sampling method can be used on a graded approach based on the assessed risk (safety considerations, restricted access, exposure to contamination, etc.). Inventory method must be approved by the OPMO and take into consideration the property condition, classification, and location (excludes firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives). 6 DOE O 580.1A 3-30-12 (3) Firearms, ammunition, pyrotechnics, and explosives must be inventoried at least annually. However, the OPMO may elect to use inventory protocols outlined in DOE O 473.3, Protection Program Operations, Appendix A, Section F,7, ―Inventory of Firearms, Ammunition, Pyrotechnics and Explosives. (4) Capital Accountable Property with an original acquisition cost of $500,000 or greater must be inventoried at least annually with an accuracy expectation of 100%.
