PURPOSE. This Order establishes requirements for the management and operation of the Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Protective Forces (FPF) and Contractor Protective Forces (CPF) under the cognizance of DOE. 2. CANCELLATIONS. DOE Order 473.3A, Change 1, Appendix A, Federal Protective Force, and Attachment 2, Contractor Protective Force, dated January 2, 2018, are canceled. DOE O 470.4B, Change 2, Safeguards and Security Program, Appendix A, Section 1, Chapter III, Paragraph 4.b. and c., and Attachment 2, Section 1, Chapter III, Paragraph 4.b. and c. pertaining to performance test schedules are canceled. These requirements have been incorporated into this Order. DOE O 470.4B, Change 2, Safeguards and Security Program, Attachment 4, Department of Energy Tactical Doctrine, is canceled. These requirements have been incorporated into this Order. Existing equivalencies and exemptions must be reviewed to determine applicability under DOE O 473.2A. If applicable, the site must document the review was completed and the equivalency or exemption remains valid. 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 (CRD) 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contract unless and until the contract or regulatory commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements. 3.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. The requirements in this Order apply to all DOE elements with FPF or CPF unless exempted under paragraph 3.c.(6). The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will assure that NNSA employees and contractors comply with their respective responsibilities under this directive. Nothing in this Order/Notice 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 CRD (Attachment 1) sets forth requirements of this Order that must apply to contracts that include the CRD. DOE O 473.2A http://www.directives.doe.gov/ 2 DOE O 473.2A 8-30-2021 (1) The CRD must be included in contracts that involve CPF. Departmental elements must notify contracting officers of affected contracts to incorporate this directive into those contracts. (2) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for incorporating this directive into the affected contracts via the DOE Acquisition Regulations (DEAR) Clause 970.0470-2, Laws, Regulations, and DOE directives clause of the contracts. c. Equivalencies/Exemptions. Equivalencies and exemptions from the requirements of this Order are processed in accordance with DOE O 251.1, Departmental Directives Program, current version. (1) Equivalencies or exemptions from the requirements in this Order, must be supported by a vulnerability assessment (VA) or security risk assessment (SRA) when required by the assets being protected, or by sufficient analysis to form the basis for an informed risk management decision. This analysis must identify compensatory measures, if applicable, or alternative controls to be implemented.

(2) Equivalencies and exemptions from safeguards and security (S&S) requirements within DOE O 473.2A require formal consultation with the Office of Security. The Office of Security will respond to consultation requests within 45 business days from the receipt of the request. (3) All approved equivalencies and exemptions under this Order must be entered in the Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) database and incorporated into the affected site security plan(s) (SSPs). Approved equivalencies and exemptions become a valid basis for operation when they have been entered in SSIMS and documented in the appropriate SSP, and they must be incorporated into site procedures at that time. (4) DOE S&S program requirements may also be located or based on regulations issued by Federal agencies and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), or other authorities, such as Executive Orders or Presidential Directives. In such cases, the process for deviating from those requirements found in the source document must be applied. If the source document does not include a deviation process, the DOE Office of the General Counsel, or NNSA Office of the General Counsel (if an NNSA element is involved), must be consulted to determine whether the deviation from the source can be legally pursued. (5) Equivalency. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344, codified at 50 U.S.C. sections 2406 and 2511, and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy DOE O 473.2A 3 8-30-2021 Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) must implement and oversee all requirements and practices pertaining to this DOE Order for activities under the Director's cognizance, as deemed appropriate. (6) Exemption. The requirements established in this Order do not apply to Office of Inspector General (OIG) personnel. OIG arming and arrest authorities are established and administered by the Department of Justice in accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended [Public Law 95–452; 5 U.S.C. App] [As amended through P.L. 115–254, enacted October 05, 2018]. 4. REQUIREMENTS.
