PROCEDURES FOR USING THE CENTER FOR NUCLEAR 2

WASTE REGULATORY ANALYSES. FOR WORK FOR THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND OTHERS WITHIN ITS AREAS OF SPECIAL COMPETENCY 1.

INTRODUCTION On October 15, 1987, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) contracted with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to establish the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA or the Center) as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC).

The Center was established to provide long-term continuity and conflict-of-interest-free technical assistance and research for NRC. in support of its High-Level Waste Management (HLWM) Program under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA). as amended. The Center is operated as a separate business unit of SwRI. a private, not-for-profit organization.

NRC is the sole sponsor of the Center. As the sole sponsor, it is NRC's responsibility to maintain funding continuity to help ensure Center management and NRC staff goals of achieving and maintaining both a high degree of technical competence and efficient use of technical resources.

It is in the interest of both NRC and the Center to maintain contractual continuity (scope of work and schedules) and funding stability, consistent with program needs. Department of Energy (DOE) schedules for development and operation of a high-level waste (HLW) repository, and budget appropriations. Although contractual continuity and stability of funding are essential, they cannot always be guaranteed.

Some year-to-year variation in funding and scope must be anticipated.

Center capabilities can make a contribution to entities other than NRC. and to technical areas other than HLW (both within and outside NRC).

Therefore, to alleviate the impact of year-to-year variat'ons. it is desirable for the Center to perform work for others, within its areas of spec.;l competency.

Further, it is anticipated that work for others will broaden staff knowledge and experience, provide opportunity to broaden and deepen the Center's core expertise that is used in service to NRC, and provide for more efficient use of Center resources, when NRC's HLWM requirements do not fully L.se the time and talents of core Center staff.

Work for others must be conducted in accordance with applicable Office of Federal Procurement Policy (0FPP) guidance. Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and other pertinent rules and procedures. Nothing in these implementing procedures is intended to alter the requirements of such rules and procedures.

ATTACHMENT 16-Revised 6/97

, 2.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this document is to establish the responsibilities and procedures whereby the Center may obtain authorization from its sponsor.

NRC, to perform work for others that is related to its primary pu'rpose.

scope, mission or special competency. and to ensure that:

(1)

Opportunities for the Center to conduct work. within its areas of l

l special competency, for NRC. outside the HLWM Program, or for any non-sponsor organization, are identified:

(2)

The anticipated benefits of such situations are maximized:

(3)

Possible adverse impacts of such use are properly evaluated and either avoided or effectively mitigated:

l (4)

Appropriate review of, and decision-making on, requests for such work. are provided in a timely manner: and (5)

The Center avoids conflicts of interest in performing such work.

l The scope of these procedures extends to all FFRDC work conducted for organizations other than the sponsor and for work for its sponsor.

within its areas of special competency. but outside its primary mission (i.e., NRC's HLWM Program, under the NWPA).

However. in order to avoid the potential for conflict of interest. the Center shall not undertake any work under these procedures for DOE. contractors under the DOE nuclear waste program, and States and affected Tribes that may participate in the process of siting developing, designing licensing, operating. or decommissioning the HLW repository, or associated interim storage facilities or sites.

l 3.

DEFINITIONS l

4.

RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1 The President of the Center is responsible for ensuring implementation of these procedures at CNWRA.

4.2 Center management is responsible for identifying and evaluating opportunities to conduct work for others, wherein such opportunities achieve the goals delineated in the " Introduction" to these Irocedures, and is also responsible for assessing and avoiding or mitigating any potential impacts that may result from any assignment of CNWRA personnel to conduct work for others.

4.3 Center management will ensure that a proper evaluation is performed of each request to conduct work for others, will assess related impacts and any potential conflict of interest, and will i

submit to the NRC Contracting Officer and the NRC CNWRA Program Manager, all information and analyses required herein, in accordance with these procedures.

4.4 The Work for Others Committee (WFOC) of the Center Review Group (CRG), which includes the NRC Contracting Officer. a representative from OGC. the Program Manager, and Deputy Program

i t

4 Manager, is responsible for evaluating the Center's request for authorization to perform work for others, against the. procedures contained herein and against the FAR criteria: for making recommendation to the Director. Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS). on the disposition of the request: and for assuring that total Center effort for work for others does not j

exceed 30% for non-government work of the Center's total fiscal l

year funding without prior notification to the Commission.

{

1 l

4.5 The NRC CNWRA Program Manager is responsible for the timely i

l evaluation of each request from the Center to perform work for l

others: for conferring about such work with NRC's Technical l

l 4.6 The NRC Contract'ing Officer is responsible for providing all contractual direction to the Center and is the only individual who can provide such direction and who can authorize the Center to perform work for others; for monitoring work for others by fiscal year and alerting the WFOC if the combined efforts associated with work for other approaches 30% for non-government work of the Center's total fiscal year funding; and for ensuring compliance with the constraints and criteria applicable to work placed with the Center, as provided in FAR Subsections 6.303. 17.504(e) and 35.017-3.

4.7 Any Federal agency proposing work to be performed. through an interagency agreement, within the Center's areas of special competency is responsible for making the determination required by FAR Subsections 17.504 and 17.503, and for providing, to the NRC j

Contracting Officer documentation that the requested work would i

not place the FFRDC in direct competition with domestic private 4

industry, as required by FAR Subsection 17.504(e) and a justification as required by FAR Subsection 6.303.

5.

PROCEDURES The extent of the Center's participation in work for others will depend on the nature of the work and when it is to be performed. capabilities of-the Center, and availability of Center resources. A written request for the Center to perform work for others within its areas of special competency may be initiated in one of three ways:

l a.

NRC could request Center assistance to perform work that is not l

directly related to NRC's HLWM Program under the NWPA:

b.

An organization other than NRC could request Center assistance to perform work that is related to the NWPA: or

m._.

l l-

! c.

An organization other than NRC could request Center assistance to perform work that is not directly related to the NWPA.

Work falling within these categories must be covered by one or more of the Center's areas of "saecial competency." and must be evaluated'by NRC. and authorized by tie Contracting Officer. The following process provides the mechanism for obtaining NRC's authorization to perform such work.

For the Center to perform work beyond that covered in its contract with NRC, the requesting U.S. Federal agency must concurrently submit to the NRC Contracting Officer and to the Center, for evaluation, a detailed statement of work. including scope, proposed period of performance, and estimated level of efforts.

If the requesting organization is other

]

l than a U.S. Federal agency, these materials will be submitted to the NRC Contracting Officer by the CNWRA.

In addition to the above, should the requesting organization be a U.S. Federal agency, it shall provide-to the NRC Contracting Officer. a justification, as required by FAR Subsection 6.303 for other than full and open competition, and documentation, as required by FAR Subsection 17.504(e), supporting the finding that the work will not place the Center in direct competition f

with domestic private industry.

l Should the requesting organization reside within NRC. the NRC CNWRA Program Manager shall forward the request for assistance, with the approval of the Director. NMSS. to the NRC Contracting Officer.

The NRC Contracting Officer will review this request, and prepare the necessary documentation as required by FAR 6.303.

Upon ap3roval of such documentation by the NRC Competition Advocate, t1e NRC Contracting

{

Officer will forward NRC's request for assistance to the Center.

In accordance with Section H.12. Other Contracts - Prior Notification, under the contract, the Center will evaluate the request for proposal and. if interested in performing the work, will request wiitten authorization f..m the NRC Contracting Officer (with a concurrent copy to NRC's CNWRA Program Manager) for acceptance. The Center's written request to perform work for others. either inside or outside of the NRC.

must be accom)anied by a justification for performing the work that addresses eac1 of the criteria listed below:

1.

The requested work is within the domain of one of the Center's "special competency" areas, consistent with FAR Subsection 35.017-3.

2.

The recuested work has undergone a conflict of interest review, and a cetermination has been made that the conduct of the proposed work would be in accordance with NRC's conflict of interest requirements.

(The NRC staff will conduct the conflict-of-i interest review and make the subsequent determination for work performed for NRC.)

3.

The requested work will-not negatively impact the long-term

-.- - - - - - - ~.- -.-_-.-.-- - -

1

' stability of staff and funding at the CNWRA and would, preferably.

increase that stability.

The expertise. including labor hours and Other resources required to conduct the work should be delineated.

i 4.

The requested work would not materially reduce the effectiveness i

of the CNWRA in carrying out its primary mission to provide support to NRC's HLWM Program (i.e., would not significantly i

impact costs, scope, or schedule of NWPA work assigned to the Center by NRC).

5.

The requested work would augment or help to maintain capabilities.

technologies, management methods and technical expertise of importance to NRC and its HLW mission.

J Costs related to p eparing Justifications for performing work and to developing proposa s in response to NRC request would be included in the

-Center's overhead pool.

Costs for responding to requests for work from outside NRC will be borne by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and will not be reimbursed by NRC.

Upon receipt of the Center's request for authorization to perform the-work, the NRC CNWRA Program Manager will distribute copies of the request and the justification to members of the WFOC. A meeting will be scheduled to. review the request and to make a recommendation within 10 calendar days from the date of recei]t. All justifications will be evaluated and authorized, based on tie requirements in the FAR.

i restrictions in NRC's contract with SwRI for operation of the Center, these procedures, and the priorities of the currently approved program and the proposed work.

Assuming that the justification package as submitted. is complete, the WFOC will arrive at a decision at that meeting as to whether to recommend approval of authorization to the Center to accept the work.

The NRC CNWRA Program Manager will submit the WFOC's recommendation, with the approval of the Director. NMSS to the NRC Contracting Officer.

For work outside of the NRC not exceeding $50.000, the approval of the Director. NMSS is not required. The NRC Contracting Officer will determine whether the requested action is.in compliance with the FAR and the contract terms and conditions, and will seek resolution of any contractual issues raised by the Center's request. After resolution, the NRC Contracting Officer will inform the Center of NRC's decision.

The NRC CNWRA Program Manager, after the Contracting Officer has provided authorization to the Center, will inform the Commission of all work'for others approved for placement at the Center.

For work for others. authorized by the NRC Contracting Officer. the

- Center will establish individual financial and labor resource tracking accounts.

Center management, the NRC Contracting Officer, and the NRC CNWRA Program Manager will ensure overhead and management costs are properly distributed.

Proposals for NRC work, that include the technical scope, schedules, and required resources, once accepted by the

. NRC Division requesting the work, will be incorporated into NRC's contract with SwRI and will become contractually binding.

In addition to management of the' Center's NWPA work for NRC the NRC staff will provide technical and direct management oversight of NRC work not performed under the NWPA, and to the extent practical (under Management and Staffing Award Fee Evaluation Criteria e.g.. the Center's ability to manage work for others without impacting NRC's HLWM Program), will consider Center performance on such work during the CRG's award fee determination. Technical and direct management oversight of non-NRC work will be provided by the requesting organization, and will not be considered by the CRG as part of the Center's award fee L

evaluation.

i Day-to-day technical and financial management of approved programs / projects will be performed by the Center and the requesting organization.

If, in the performance of work for others, a potential impact on currently approved NRC HLW Operations / Project Plans appears l

probable, an assessment shall be conducted by the Center in accordance with Center Administrative Procedure AP-009. " Work Authorization and Control." Such assessment will be consistent with the Center's process-for modifying approved tasks in progress, based on the significance of the impact that is anticipated, as provided for in AP-009 namely:

o Class 1 Modifications (i.e., those that require changes in cost.

1 l

schedule, or work scope) to NRC's HLWM Program, under NWPA.

necessitate submission of an impact assessment, and recommended modifications to the plans, to the NRC CNWRA Deputy Program j

Manager and NRC Contracting Officer, for review.

Approval must be i

obtained from the NRC Contracting Officer before commencement of

work, o

Class 2 Modifications (i.e.. those that do not require changes to cost, schedule. or work scope) are essentially administrative in nature and may be implemented with the mutual consent of the affected NRC Program Element Manager and the acknowledgment of the NRC CNWRA Deputy Program Manager.

Potential or actual impacts on HLWM Program work at the Center will be noted in the MAJOR PROBLEMS section of the Center's Program Managers Periodic Report.

At the NRC/CNWRA Annual Program Reviews, the President of the Center will advise NRC on the extent of ongoing work for others.

A brief assessment of-potential adverse impacts, if any, on the NRC HLWM Program, will be provided.

The NRC Contracting Officer will monitor the funding provided to the Center to perform work for others and will inform the CRG if the total fiscal year funding for such efforts approaches 30% for non-government work of the Center's total fiscal year funding. The CRG will recommend l

approval of requests to perform work for others that would cause total fiscal year funding for such work at the Center to exceed 30% for non-I government work only in exceptional circumstances.

If such approval is l

recommended. the NRC CNWRA Program Manager will so inform the

{

l Commission, prior to submitting the recommendation to the Contracting Officer for review and authorization.

6.

ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF RE0 VESTS BY NRC FOR PRESENTATIONS BY CNWRA STAFF The NRC Contracting Officer may authorize the Center to perform work for others when the Center is requested by other NRC offices to present papers relating to work that the Center has >erformed under this contract.

Documentation will be placed in tie file indicating that the five criteria cited above have been met.

7.

RECORDS The results of evaluations conducted in accordance with this procedure.

as well as the evaluation material supporting the results, shall be documented and retained in the project files at the Center and NRC.
