Environmental Reporting Topics Steve Woodbury Office of Nuclear and Environmental Policy, HS-24 November 2006

Overview of Topics  New HSS Organization  EMS Reporting  Pollution Prevention Reporting  OMB Scorecard

New HSS Organization  Contains most staff and functions of the former  Office of Environment, Safety and Health  Office of Security and Safety Performance Assurance Security  Some functions and staff were reassigned to other Offices  Glenn Podonsky is the new Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer, reporting directly to the Secretary/Deputy Secretary

Goals  Strengthen health, safety and security at DOE  Provide enhanced support to program and field offices  Strengthen capacity to address Department-wide issues  Better integrate ES&H with security oversight and management  Glenn Podonsky has re-emphasized that when he speaks of ‘safety’ he intends to encompass ‘environment, safety and health’

Major ES&H Functions Major ES&H functions remain, though they have been reorganized:  HS-10 Office of Health and Safety  HS-20 Office of Nuclear Safety and Environment  HS-30 Office of Corporate Safety Analysis  HS-64 Office of ES&H Evaluations

EMS Reporting – Content  EMS reporting for 2006 – 2008 is based on a Questionnaire developed by the Interagency Working Group  Three sets of questions: I.Ongoing implementation and continual improvement of EMS II.Impact of EMS on operations and compliance III.Open-ended narrative questions: benefits, obstacles, lessons-learned

EMS Reporting – Process  We will use a web-based reporting system, hosted by FedCenter  Program Office EMS points-of-contact are identifying site-level contacts  FedCenter will issue passwords  Site contacts will respond to questions  Program Office points-of-contact can review  EPA will be provided with summary data, not site-level responses

EMS Reporting – Schedule  Information is due before the end of December  Site-level responses to Part I will be rolled up to an Agency score.  These scores will be reflected in the OMB Stewardship scorecard in January  Non-reporting sites will be scored as the lowest score. Please be sure you report.  By October 2007, we will report on a Fiscal Year, not Calendar Year basis. HS-21 will issue guidance soon on the transition (2006 or 2007).

P2 Reporting  DOE Order Chg 2  Pollution Prevention Environmental Management System (EMS) requirements  New Pollution Prevention and Sustainable Environmental Stewardship (P2SES) goals and accompanying strategies  New P2SES goals are qualitative rather than quantitative and linked to site EMS activities  Track well with OMB environmental scorecard

P2 Reporting (cont)  On-line Pollution Prevention Tracking and Reporting System (PPTRS) updated for ’06  Like goals, new performance measures are qualitative and tied to EMS activities  PPTRS provides one-stop system for tracking and reporting on site pollution prevention activities including participation in voluntary Federal environmental initiatives such as the Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC)

Overview OMB Scorecards Overview  OMB Scorecards  Energy Management  Transportation Management  Environmental Stewardship  Environmental Stewardship Criteria  How the Process Works  What it Means for DOE Sites

OMB Scorecard Criteria  Criteria for Status are listed as “Standards for Success”  OMB’s templates for the three scorecards are available at
