How is DOE FOCI policy reviewed within the FOCI operations community?
In August 2007, the FOCI operations community participated in a detailed review of current FOCI policy as part of the Office of Health, Safety and Security’s Zero Based Policy Review. FOCI subject matter experts from across the DOE complex were members of a working group that evaluated all the requirements in current directives, determined whether a need existed to retain and/or modify the requirement, and restructured the residual policy into a new modified set. Upon completion of the requirements review by the working group, four DOE field offices critiqued the draft policy and assessed the impact of implementing the policy in their respective programs. The FOCI requirements resulting from the August 2007 review have not yet been finalized and are currently under evaluation by the Office of Security Policy within HSS.
