On Wednesday, May 18th, EM submitted a proposal to the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) for a proposed Headquarters (HQ) reorganization;

The proposed reorganization structures EM-HQ to align with how it executes and delivers the mission, promotes increased coordination and interaction between the Field and EM-HQ, and eliminates stovepipe organizations;

The proposed reorganization is designed to, increase operational efficiency,enhance economies of scale through the consolidation of work along functional lines, and improve alignment of critical mission-enabling business operations;

There will be no reduction-in-force, pay reductions, or downgrades for EM employees as a result of the reorganization.

In addition to gaining efficiencies by eliminating stovepipes and consolidating work along functional lines, the proposed reorganization also responds to external and internal drivers, including:

‒ DOE EM Accident Investigation Board’s Report, Radiological Release Event at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, calls for strengthened line oversight;

‒ Secretary’s Task Force Advisory Board on Technology Development defines a need to pursue technologies for breakthrough improvements;

‒ GAO’s biannual High-Risk List calls for improved major projects performance, and resource commitment to contract and project management problems;

‒ Commission to Review the Effectiveness of the National Laboratories Report calls for consistency in DOE laboratories oversight (applicable to Savannah River National Laboratory);

‒ The EM-Headquarters Organizational Culture Integrated Project Team action plan recommends enhanced accountability and a Field-based focus.
