Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Washington, DC 20585 November 6, 2007 MEMORANDUM FOR MANAGER, LIVERMORE SITE OFFICE REVITALIZATION MANAGER, LOS ALAMOS SITE OFFICE MANAGER, NEVADA SITE OFFICE MANAGER, P ANTEX SITE OFFICE MANAGER, SANDIA SITE OFFICE MANAGER, SAVANNAH RIVER SITE OFF CE MANAGER, Y-12 SITE OFF!fff FROM: Martin J. Schoenbauer / (/_\ Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator ---------- SUBJECT: for Operations DELEGATION OF APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE JJv.IPLEMENTA TION PLANS (MIP) The purpose ofthis memorandum is to document delegation of approval authority for the MIP as prescribed in DOE Order 433.1A, Maintenance Management Program for DOE Nuclear Facilities. Over the past few years, Site Office Managers have been approving MIPs based on fonnal and infonnal guidance from NN~A headquarters. While this is consistent with my expectations, recent reviews ofNNSA Federal organizatiQns identified the lack of documented delegation authority as being inconsistent with the language in the 2007 revision of DOE Order 433.1 A. Therefore, I delegate approval authority for MIPs to the addressed Site Office Managers. It is my expectation that Site Office Managers ensure MIPs prioritize investments for mission critical and mission dependent facilities.
