Assurance Security Some functions and staff were reassigned to
other Offices Glenn Podonsky is the new Chief Health, Safety
and Security Officer, reporting directly to the Secretary/Deputy Secretary

program and field offices Strengthen capacity to address
Department-wide issues Better integrate ES&H with security
oversight and management Glenn Podonsky has re-emphasized that
when he speaks of ‘safety’ he intends to encompass ‘environment, safety and health’
Major ES&H Functions
Major ES&H functions remain, though they have been reorganized:
HS-10 Office of Health and Safety HS-20 Office of Nuclear Safety
and Environment HS-30 Office of Corporate Safety
Analysis HS-64 Office of ES&H Evaluations
EMS Reporting –Content
EMS reporting for 2006 – 2008 is based on a Questionnaire developed by the Interagency Working Group
Three sets of questions:
I. Ongoing implementation and continual improvement of EMS
II. Impact of EMS on operations and compliance
III. Open-ended narrative questions: benefits, obstacles, lessons-learned
EMS Reporting –Process
We will use a web-based reporting system, hosted by FedCenter
Program Office EMS points-of-contact are identifying site-level contacts
FedCenter will issue passwords Site contacts will respond to questions Program Office points-of-contact can review EPA will be provided with summary data, not
site-level responses
EMS Reporting – Schedule
Information is due before the end of December 2006.
Site-level responses to Part I will be rolled up to an Agency score.
These scores will be reflected in the OMB Stewardship scorecard in January 2007.
Non-reporting sites will be scored as the lowest score. Please be sure you report.
By October 2007, we will report on a Fiscal Year, not Calendar Year basis. HS-21 will issue guidance soon on the transition (2006 or 2007).
P2 Reporting
DOE Order 450.1 Chg 2 Pollution Prevention Environmental Management
System (EMS) requirements New Pollution Prevention and Sustainable
Environmental Stewardship (P2SES) goals and accompanying strategies
New P2SES goals are qualitative rather than quantitative and linked to site EMS activities
Track well with OMB environmental scorecard
P2 Reporting (cont)
On-line Pollution Prevention Tracking and Reporting System (PPTRS) updated for ’06
Like goals, new performance measures are qualitative and tied to EMS activities
PPTRS provides one-stop system for tracking and reporting on site pollution prevention activities including participation in voluntary Federal environmental initiatives such as the Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC)
