Technology Integration Programs: Fiscal year 1992 Regulatory Coordination Program Management and Implementation Plan

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5852022

One mission of the Office of Technology Development (OTD) Technology Integration Programs (TIPs) is to facilitate Integrated Demonstrations (IDs). TIPs Regulatory Coordination Program is critical to the success of OTD Technology Integration Programs because it ensures that all ID activities are implemented consistently with applicable regulations and that regulators participate in the implementation process. Through the TIPs Regulatory Coordination Program, OTD coordinates with other offices within DOE, and other Federal and state agencies, to resolve regulatory issues related to IDs. TIPs also assists the ID Coordinators (IDCs) in defining ID regulatory requirements and identifying barriers to compliance. This plan outlines the goals and objectives of the TIPs Regulatory Coordination Program, as well as actions needed for implementation. The program's overall goals are: (1) to provide regulatory guidance to IDs; (2) to attain and maintain awareness of current and emerging regulations and how they affect the IDs; and (3) to coordinate regularly with other Federal agencies to address common issues. TIPs has the following goals for Fiscal Year (FY) 1992: (1) to identify needs of IDCs for regulatory compliance of the IDs; (2) to identify and establish linkages with decision makers in the regulatory arena; and (3) to enhance the regulatory skills of ID personnel, based on risk-based decision making.
