The National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Pantex Facility is this Nation's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility. The nature of such work necessitates the development and implementation of protection strategies based upon the Department of Energy's (Department) Design Basis Threat process. Facilities such as Pantex develop Site Safeguards and Security Plans to describe the physical protection programs, evaluations of risk, and identified facility targets associated with the threat.

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has decided to adopt a policy on the agency’s long- term power supply role after fiscal year (FY) 2011. This policy is intended to provide BPA’s customers with greater clarity about their Federal power supply so they can effectively plan for the future and, if they choose, make capital investments in long-term electricity infrastructure. This Long-Term Regional Dialogue Policy (Policy), which is the result of a Regional Dialogue process that began in 2002, is described more fully in a separately issued Administrator’s Record of Decision (ROD) that addresses the legal and policy rationale supporting the administrative decisions in the Regional Dialogue.

Testimony on issues pertaining to contract management at the Department of Energy. More than any other civilian agency in the Federal government, the Department of Energy places significant reliance on contractors. There are about 15,000 Federal employees at the Department. In contrast, there are approximately 100,000 contract employees plus a significant number of subcontract employees, who operate the Department’s National Laboratories, production facilities, and environmental remediation projects. The operations performed by contractors consume at least three-quarters of the Department’s budget. As we have reported annually, managing this type of operation is one of the most pressing management challenges facing the Department. This challenge permeates almost every aspect of the Department’s programmatic and administrative activities, including the National Nuclear Security Administration.
