What are DOE Directives?
Click the following for the DOE Directives System and Oak Ridge Office brochure. DOE uses documents called Directives to provide formal and organized communications on its policies and directions. Directives include the following types of documents: • Policies are issued by the Secretary. They state philosophy and values for the conduct of DOE work. • Orders, Manuals, and Notices establish requirements, procedures or responsibilities. They are mandatory for DOE employees but apply to contractors only to the extent specified in a contract. Orders are intended to contain broad expectations with substantial flexibility for implementation. Notices contain temporary or time-sensitive information and may be issued quickly when it is important to issue a Directive without full coordination. Manuals may be issued when there is a need for more detailed procedural requirements. • Guides and Technical Standards contain acceptable methods for implementing requirements contained in other Directives
