November 16, 2018 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. Brett M. Baker Assistant Inspector General for Audits FROM: Mary C. Muessle, Director /RA/
Office of Administration
SUBJECT:
STAFF RESPONSE TO THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERALS AUDIT OF THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OVERSIGHT OF THE AGENCYS FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER CONTRACT (OIG-18-A-17)
The following provides a status of planned actions to recommendations 1 and 4 in the subject audit report.
Recommendation 1:
Develop and implement procedures to use the Contracting Officer Representative (COR)
Invoice Review Checklist (cost-reimbursement type contracts/ordersrequired for all contracts and orders exceeding $1 million) for all Federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) invoices to ensure they are prepared in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) billing instructions for cost-reimbursement type contracts.
Response
On June 13, 2018, in the training provided to FFRDC CORs, the CORs were instructed to use this checklist for all invoices related to the FFRDC contracts, regardless of dollar value. This was formalized on September 20, 2018, when the Office of Administration (ADM) updated the procedures for use of the COR Invoice Review Checklist and made the checklist mandatory for all task orders issued under the FFRDC contracts.
Recommendation 4:
Revise the NRC billing instructions for cost-reimbursement type contracts to include language prohibiting the contractor from billing rates that have not been incorporated into the contract by written modification.

Dr. B. Baker Response:
ADM revised the NRC billing instructions for cost-reimbursement type contracts on September 20, 2018, to include language prohibiting the contractor from billing rates that have not been incorporated into the contract by written modification.
