INTRODUCTION l

The Region II Operating Plan provides the major planned accomplishments of the Region for Fiscal Year 1998. It also Fiscal ' ear 2000. The plan reflects tiearovides projected resources through the guidance provided by the EDO in an l August 26. 1997 memorandum. The plan will be used to provide overall '

direction for Regional operations. It is structured to show a direct linkage to the goals and strat5gies described in the NRC Strategic Plan (NUREG-1614 j

Vol.1. September 1997) and FY1999 Performance Plan (Issued Septettber 1997). i The Operating Plan is divided into two major parts: Part A is divided into two sections.Section I lists the planned accomplishments with performance l

output measures and targets that will be conducted in the Region. They are {

organized first by Program Area. Within each Area, the planned I accomplishments are listed under each FY1999 Performance Plan Goal and Strategic Plan Strategy so that the reader and user can visualize a direct link to the goals and strategies.Section II lists the significant regulatory effectiveness / excellence initiatives that will be conducted by the Region.

Part B provides the Regional / Organization Activities planned by the Region.

i Sionificant Reculatory Effectiveness / Excellence Initiatives Region II's plans for self-assessing our performance during Fiscal Year 1998 are provided below. Foremost in our assessment plan has been the use of quarterly self-assessments by each Regional Division.

Our assessment plan includes audits of specific areas. We plan to invite participation in these by other Regional and Program Offices. Our plan also includes continued participation in Agency performance reviews such as the

' IMPEP of Agreement States in other Regions. IMPEP of other Regional materials and fuel facility programs, operator licensing, and allegations.

i Reaion II Performance Assessment Plan For FY 98 Obiective The objective of the assessment plan is to (1) provide a systematic approach to. evaluate strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of programs assigned to the Region and (2) provide input into decisions where the i performance should be modified.

! Process / Goals The process in FY 98 will consist of the following planned assessments: '

1. Quarterly self-assessments of ]erformance by each Regional Division.

l The assessments will include tie establishment of performance indicators l and measures based on the Operating Plan agreed u

Office and based on the Agency's Strategic Plan. pon with the E00's The assessment results will be reported to the Regional Administrator and discussed during the Region 11 management retreats.

l i 2. Targeted evaluations in areas where there is potential for performance l

problems. These areas are selected to aid in the early detection and j i

i

]revention of problems. The group assigned to perform these audits will !

]e proactive in seeking the participation from other Regional and '

Program Offices. The evaluations for FY 98 will include:

a. Review of the security and handling of financial assurance ,

l documents (Reference MD 8.12). I i

b. Review of the Radiation Safety Officer function in the Region. l l

l l

70

c. Review of the allegation process and the quality and timeliness (

allegation closures (Reference MD 8.8).

d. Review the progress toward implementing the results of the NRR sponsored job task analysis for DRP functions in the Regions.

'e; Review of' the quality of the issued inspection reports from perspective of whether focused on performance, appropriate message, and enforcement actions supported (Reference Manual Chapter 0610 and the Enforcement Manual).

f. Followup review of the implementation of the Regional Security Plan.

g. Followup review of the issuance of exemptions.

, PART B:

l REGIONAL MANAGEMENT /0RGANIZATION ACTIVITIES The following provide the targets for the activities indicated:

a. . Supervisor to Emolovee Ratio

'The current Region II supervisor to employee ratio is 1 to 8 and thus meets NRC's goal. Region 11 plans to continue maintaining this ratio. )

Twice each year. Region II management will evaluate the effectiveness of l

the organizational structure to determine if further reductions can be made in the future without negatively impacting mission accomplishment.

b. Positions'at" Grades GG 14 and Above l

The Region plans to pa'rtner the Staffing Plan that will meet the Agency s 42 percent goal.in this area by the end of FY99. Region Il makes every effort to reduce its number of GG-14s and above by reviewing l

each vacated position by senior managers to determine if the backfill needs to be'a GG-14. Since the Regional reorganization in FY 1996 resulted in eliminating section chief positions. Region II has had six GG-15s that are not in supervisory positions and that significantly skew l our "GG-14 and above" numaers. As discussed during the recent Region II i

l Management Retreat, thirty-six staff will be eligible for optional ,

retirement between now and the end of FY 1998. 22 of whom are at the GG-14'and above. Consequently. Region II will be able to reduce the total number of GG-14s and above" positions b most crucial GG-14 mission-related positions. Once y backfilling only Plan the Staffing the for FY99 is approved. Region II will replace the GG-14 positions with

.GG-13s in' cases where not indicated as a permanent GG-14.

c. IT Initiatives The Region does not )lan initiatives other than implementation of those promulgated by the C11ef Information Officer l d. FTE Staffvear Manacement t Throughout the Fiscal Year 1997, the Region took initiatives to reduce i

the FTE from a ceiling of 223 for FY 1997 to a ceiling of 219 for FY98.

i The Region maintained a steady yet conservative staffing approach to ensure that mission needs and staffing goals were met without exceeding i the FY 1998 FTE ceiling. At the beginning of FY 1998, the Region had 221 employees on board. Given the attrition rate of approximately 3 percent, this level of staff will prepare the Region to meet operational needs without exceeding the FTE allocation of 219 for FY98.

l e. Procosed Contractual Pro.iects The Region plans none of these during the Operating Plan period. l

f. Guidelines for EE0 and Affirmative Action in Operatino Plans The Region, in conjunction with the Office of Small Business and Civil Rights, proposes the following planned activities or areas of emphasis i
