Sianificant 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.

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 performance should be modified.

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

1.

Quarterly self-assessments of aerformance by each Regional Division.

The assessments will include tie establishment of performance indicators and measures based on the Operating Plan agreed u Office and based on the Agency's Strategic Plan. pon with the ED0's The assessment results will be reported to the Regional Administrator and discussed during the Region II management retreats.

l 2.

Targeted evaluations in areas where there is potential for performance problems. These areas are selected to aid in the early detection and l

3revention of problems. The group assigned to perform these audits will l

ae 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).

1 b.

Review of the Radiation Safety Officer function in the Region.

l 70

)

l c.

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

Review of' the quality of the issued inspection reports from

'e.

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.

PART B:

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

a.

Supervisor to Emolovee Ratio

^

'The current Region 11 supervisor to employee ratio is 1 to 8 and thus meets NRC's goal.

Region II plans to continue maintaining this ratio.

Twice each year. Region II management will evaluate the effectiveness of 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 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 II makes every effort to reduce its number of GG-14s and above by reviewing each vaca vi position by senior managers to determine if the backfill o

needs to ve 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 su>ervisory positions and that significantly skew our "GG-14 and above" num)ers. As discussed during the recent Region II 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 by backfilling only the most crucial GG-14 mission-related positions. Once the Staffing Plan 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 I

The Region does not )lan initiatives other than implementation of those promulgated by the C11ef Information Officer.

d.

FTE Staffvear Manaaement Throughout the Fiscal Year 1997, the Region took initiatives to reduce the FTE from a ceiling of 223 for FY 1997 to a ceiling of 219 for FY98.

The Region maintained a steady yet conservative staffing approach to ensure that mission needs and staffing goals were met without exceeding 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.

e.

Proposed Contractual Pro.iects The Region plans none of these during the Operating Plan period.

f.

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

Supervisors Review:

Charles Hosey Comments: The scope of the new owner's operations was not described very well other than to indicate an increase in the patient workload since the last inspection. The previous owner died in May 1995, and the practice was sold to the new owner shortly thereafter. The inspection was made specifically to review the new owner's operations and compliance with regulations.

SUBJECT:

ACTIONS TAKEN IN R PONSE TO FINDINGS OF THE INTEGRATED MATERIALS PERFOR CE EVALUATION PROGRAM REVIEW 0F REGION II During the week of February 9-13. 1998. the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program Review'of Region II was conducted.

Attached are the Region's actions in response to the recommendations and suggestions provided by the review team during the exit meeting on February 13. 1998.

The team was very professional and conducted an excellent exit meeting.

Please pass on my thanks to George Deegan. team leader Should you have any questions. please give me a call.

Attachment:

As stated cc w/att:

H. Thompson. DEDR D. Cool. NMSS E. Ten Eyck. NMSS G. Deegan NMSS (

l i

)

r ACTIONS TAKEN BY REGION II IN RESPONSE TO IMPEP FINDINGS REPORTED DURING EXIT MEETING Recommendation 1: Region II will assure its inspectors make use of survey instruments calibrated at proper frequencies.

Region'II has reminded Division of Nuclear Materials Safety (DNMS) staff of the requirement to use survey instruments calibrated at the frequency required for the typc c' 1icensee being inspected (e.g., instruments calibrated within six months for radiography licensees).

In addition. Region II has developed an instrument calibration and inventory program using Microsoft Access to assist in the management of the survey instrument program. This program will be implemented by A)ril 30, 1998.

This program will provide a report which lists instruments t1at are due for calibration in the next three months so they can be retrieved from inspectors and removed from service for calibration before the calibration due date.

The Region will also post, by March 31. a notice in the instrument storage area reminding inspectors to check the i

calibration date on the instrument to ensure that it will remain in calibration during the inspection.

Recommendation 2:

Region II will develop and implement an effective.

periodic, in-depth peer review type of quality assurance program for licensing l

actions.

l Region II will issue a Regional Office Instruction (ROI) by April 15, 1998.

l which will establish a peer review for completed licensing actions.

This ROI i

will require semi-annual reviews of completed licensing actions by license reviewers and DNMS managers.

The review will focus on appropriateness of license conditions used and documents referenced, grammatical / clerical errors, deficiencies in the application for licensing action, appropriate checklist and completeness of licensing file and quality of the review (i.e.. did the licensing action accurately reflect what the licensee / applicant requested).

The first licensing Peer Review will be conducted by April 30. 1998.

Recommendation 3:

Region II will ensure that the fuel cycle inspection program is not adversely affected when the current IFS program for tracking inspection results is terminated.

Region II will begin using the NMSS Fuel Cycle Inspection Management System to track inspection results on or before May 1.1998. If this system cannot handle the volume. the Region will consider incorporating the information contained in the IFS system in the Site Integration Matrix System or will develop a Microsoft Access-based program to replace tre 1FS system.

Suaaestion 1:

Region II will use the inspectior, Geld notes pilot format developed for nuclear medicine license inspections for other categories of

. inspections in order to provide a greater description of licensee operations.

As directed in previous correspondence from NMSS Region II will continue to j

use the Field Notes contained in approved inspection procedures.

However.

until the new procedures are issued. Region II will stress to inspectors the need to provide greater description of the licensee's operations in the field notes using the nuclear medicine pilot format as an example.

2 Suaaestion 2:

The former standard licensee condition No. 166 (maintenance of decommissioning records) will no longer be applied to new Region II licensees, and be removed from current licenses.

The Region has discontinued using license condition No. 166 in new licenses issued.

In addition the license condition will be removed from licenses as amendments or renewals of existing licenses are issued.

Suacestion 3: NMSS will clarify the " Milestone 22" issued by memorandum to the Regions.

The issue relates to the appropriate date to enter in the Licensing Management System (LMS) for the issuance of the licensing action.

Since the IMPEP.

Region II has begun entering in LMS the date of the management review as the i

date when the licensing action was completed.

Succestion 4:

Region II will consider altering the language of ROI 1030 to allow more flexibility in handling phone calls from allegers.

Region II has determined that ROI 1030 provides the appropriate instructions for members of the staff in the handling of allegations.

DNMS management will reemphasize to DNMS staff that, where possible, incoming calls from allegers should be referred to the Senior Allegations Coordinator or other technical 1

members of the Enforcement and Investigations Coordination Staff.
