What if Im a Subject Matter Expert (SME) Rather Than a Team Member and I Don Agree with the Teams Recommendation?
During the WSS development process, stakeholders, subject matter experts, and other interested parties who are not members of the ID Team, Confirmation Team, or Convened Group may review the proposed WSS set and have concerns and issues. If one of these reviewers believes that the proposed WSS set does not provide adequate ES&H protection, that person may write up his/her issue as a “Difference of Opinion” and submit it to the process leader for referral to the Confirmation Team or Approval Authorities. If the person is a DOE or contractor employee, he should also notify his management of his concerns and provide them with a copy of the Difference of Opinion write-up.
