Chg 2 (LtdChg): 8-11-2023
SUBJECT: LIMITED/ADMIN CHANGE TO DOE O 200.1A, INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
EXPLANATION OF CHANGES. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation
protocol and capable of providing an almost unlimited number of available IP addresses. IPv4
has been in use since 1983 and the global demand for IP-enabled assets is outpacing capacity.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Memorandum M-21-07, Completing the
Transition to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), November 19, 2020, to address this issue by
communicating requirements and setting forth guidelines for the Federal government to
transition to an IPv6-only environment.
OMB M-21-07 requires DOE to issue an agency-wide IPv6 policy. DOE O 200.1A, Information
Technology Management, was selected for the inclusion of this IPv6 policy. The Order will
supersede current interim policy memorandum titled, Department of Energy Complete Transition
to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Interim Solution, issued May 28, 2021.

systems that are not compatible
with IPv6-only implementation
due to the age and configuration
of the system.
c. Increased Risk Exceptions.

implementing IPv6-only would
significantly increase the risk to
current architecture or systems.
When these systems reach end-
of-life, there will be a plan for
future systems to be IPv6-only

(IPv6) Compliance. Nothing in

National Security Decision
Directive-189 (NSDD-189), the

OPEN Government Act of 2007
(Public Law No: 110-175) and
the OPEN Government Data
Act (Title II of the Foundations
for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act, Public Law

This CRD is consistent with the
federated nature of the DOE
governance model and the roles
and responsibilities as they
relate to Management and
Operating (M&O) Contract
Partners (DOE P 112.1, DOE
Roles and Responsibilities –
National Laboratories, current
version).
a. The Contractor must
institute an IPv6 program
consistent with Departmental
Element and Site Office federal
direction to implement OMB
Memorandum M-21-07,
Completing the Transition to
Internet Protocol Version 6
(IPv6), to transition DOE
information systems to operate
solely using the IPv6 Internet
addressing protocol. The
contractor’s IPv6 program must
meet the requirements in
Paragraph 2.b., below.
b. Consistent with OMB
M-21-07 and subsequent IPv6
guidance, all existing IPv4
equipment and systems will be
upgraded to IPv6-only, and all
new acquisitions of IP-enabled
assets for Federal information
systems will be IPv6 compliant
to improve operational
efficiency, provide the general
public with continued access to
citizen services, ensure the
Federal government is capable
of accessing IPv6-only services,
and to keep pace with and
Page Paragraph Changed To
Section 6
leverage this evolution in
networking technology.
(1) For IPv6 compliance:
(a) Exemption. National
Security Systems, as defined in
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) Special
Publication (SP) 800-59,
Guideline for Identifying an
Information System as a
National Security Ssystem, are
exempted or excluded from
implementation of this order.
(b) Exceptions. In unique
circumstances where
requirements for IPv6-only
operation may be delayed for
some period or indefinitely,
exceptions may be made.
Exceptions to IPv6-only
requirements or schedule should
follow DE approval processes
and will be submitted to the
Office of the DOE CIO for
awareness, reporting, and
adjudication as needed.

categories are exceptions that
may be documented using this
process:
a Break Mission

where current operations make
it logistically impossible to
implement IPv6-only
operations.
b Technically

Information systems that are not
compatible with IPv6-only
implementation due to the age

c Increased Risk
Exceptions. Situations in which
implementing IPv6-only would
significantly increase the risk to

current architecture or systems.
When these systems reach end-
of-life, there will be a plan for
future systems to be IPv6-only
compliant.
(2) Implementation Plans.
Detailed implementation plans
for IPv6-only operation (and
subsequent plan updates) must
be submitted to the DEs for
Labs, Sites, and facilities that
acquire and operate Federal
information systems with IP-
enabled assets. The plans must
incorporate an intent to acquire
IPv6-compatible equipment
whenever it is available to meet
requirements for specialized IT
(e.g., scientific and operational-
technology equipment and
devices), and to transition
general-purpose IT to IPv6
operation within the schedule
established by OMB.
(3) Acquisitions. For
specialized IT, distinct from
general-purpose commodity IT,
the following acquisition
requirements apply to the extent
that IPv6-compliant equipment
is available. Exceptions must be
documented and justified in the
procurement requests. For
general-purpose IT and
networking acquisitions,
availability of IPv6-compliant
acquisition options is assumed,
and compliance is expected.
(a) All hardware and system
acquisitions, except for the
exceptions noted above, made
after inclusion of this clause
into the pertinent contract, that
are Internet Protocol (IP)-aware
or perform IP functions, must
be capable of operating in an
IPv6-only mode.
Page Paragraph Changed To
(b) All software developed
or acquired, except for the
exceptions noted above, after
inclusion of this clause into the
pertinent contract, that
incorporates direct IP-
addressing or functionality,
must also be capable of
operating in an IPv6-only mode.
(c) Hardware and system
acquisitions and software
development, except for the
exceptions noted above, should
all meet the requirements of the
U.S. Government v6 Profile
(USGv6), defined in the most
current version of NIST SP 500-
267.
