About...

Associate Administrator for
Management and Administration

Mission

Provide timely, cost-effective, and efficient administrative and financial support for NNSA headquarters staff.

Functions

M&A customers include executives, managers, and employees across all units of the NNSA complex. Its core functions are the following:

  • Design and administer the corporate planning, programming, budgeting, and evaluation (PPBE) system
  • Provide NNSA corporate systems and policies to manage NNSA's human resources
  • Develop and implement NNSA corporate information policy and requirements to ensure that NNSA staff have the necessary tools and practices to manage information in a cost-effective, efficient, and secure manner
  • Provide general administrative services and logistical support for NNSA headquarters operations
  • Develop and implement NNSA-wide procurement policies and procedures, provide advisory assistance to components on contracting matters, and monitor NNSA compliance with those policies and procedures

Internal and External Relationships - M&A will work closely with all NNSA components to ensure that they get the support they need to adopt consistent business practices. M&A will be the primary link to the DOE-CFO organization and OMB. M&A will encourage participation by the components in the development of new business practices to ensure that the new practices meet components' needs.

Changes in Structure and Staffing - Management and Administration will comprise the following six offices: (1) Office of Human Resources; (2) Office of the Chief Information Officer; (3) Office of Procurement and Assistance Management; (4) Office of Administrative Services; (5) Office of Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation; and (6) Diversity Programs. M&A will consolidate administrative functions performed by both DP and NN, as well as manage several additional functions (such as personnel and procurement) required to maintain a semiautonomous agency. There are five offices and one smaller unit in Management and Administration. M&A will have a staff of approximately 110 federal and rotational assignment employees. NNSA employees who now perform M&A functions in the program components will move into M&A. Chart 3 shows the Planned Organization of the Associate Administrator for Management and Administration:

a. Office of Human Resources (HR)

Mission - Work as strategic partners with the program and support component managers to ensure that NNSA's human resources management policies and practices facilitate the effective management of the entire NNSA workforce.

Internal and External Relationships - The CIO will act as principal information management and information technology advisor to the NNSA Administrator and other senior managers. The CIO will work with DOE-CIO to ensure that NNSA has developed procedures for implementing DOE policy. The CIO will coordinate with the NNSA cyber security experts in NSSP in the development of a shared vision and corporate policies for NNSA's federal and M&O contractor information activities and champion NNSA's policies to allow the effective management of information and to provide for corporate systems that add value to the businesses of the NNSA.

The CIO will assist, as needed, the Office of Administrative Services in its coordination with the DOE-CIO Offices of Operations, Engineering, and Customer Service to provide network and telecommunications engineering and management services for NNSA programs, initiatives, and activities. The CIO will maintain liaison with, and coordinate and prepare NNSA positions and status reports for, the federal Chief Information Officer Council, OMB, GAO, Congress, and other organizations

Functions - The CIO will define the information and information technology architecture and related needs of all offices within NNSA headquarters, field elements, and Management and Operating (M&O) contractors. Customers include the Administrator, senior managers, field offices, and program and support components.

Core functions include the following:

  • Chief Information Officer - Provides central oversight and, where appropriate, management of information resources activities within the NNSA headquarters, field offices, and M&O contractors
  • Business Applications - Ensures that the Administration's recorded information is managed in an economical, effective, and efficient manner throughout its life cycle in support of mission accomplishment and accountability
  • Operations, Engineering, and Customer Service - Provides advice and technical support to the Office of Administrative Services to ensure delivery of vital information management and information technology services in support of NNSA enterprise requirement

Changes in Structure and Staffing - The majority of CIO functions will require new positions to be created to meet the semiautonomous requirements for NNSA. Several positions will be filled from the consolidation of NNSA employees who now perform CIO functions in the program components.

c. Office of Procurement and Assistance Management (PAM)

Mission - Develop and oversee implementation of DOE and NNSA-specific policies, procedures, programs, and management systems pertaining to procurement and financial assistance, real and personal property management, and related activities.

Functions - PAM will focus on setting NNSA procurement policy, identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation, and monitoring transactions to identify and resolve system and process problems. The office oversees NNSA headquarters and field procurement staff (heads of contracting activity) and the major facility contractors' purchasing systems. PAM will rely on DOE-PAM for execution of NNSA headquarters transactions and for NNSA-unique policy deployment. Its customers include managers, directors, and staff across all units of the NNSA complex.

PAM's core functions include the following:

  • Serve as the principal procurement advisor to the NNSA Administrator and assist the heads of all NNSA elements regarding procurement and acquisition management
  • Serve as NNSA's Competition Advocate and ensure full and open competition in the procurement of goods and services in accordance with Public Law 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act

PAM will also have a close relationship with NNSA's Office of Field Operations Support and Office of Project Management and Engineering Support to ensure that procurement policy is reasonably consistent with the operational needs of the field sites. Oversight and monitoring will be accomplished by using DOE-PAM performance-based and on-site techniques used agencywide (which may be necessarily tailored for NNSA's unique needs).

Changes in Structure and Staffing - New positions will be created to meet the semiautonomous requirements for NNSA, some of which may be filled through consolidation of current NNSA and DOE resources. New staff recruitment will be focused on expanding expertise in large-scale acquisition as it relates to the PPBE-style budget environment and advancing innovative practices in federal procurement management, particularly performance-based incentive contracting.

d. Office of Administrative Services (ADMIN)

Mission - Oversee and coordinate general administrative services and logistical support for NNSA headquarters, and ensure that such services are provided to the Administrator and to the NNSA program and staff offices.

Functions - The reorganization plan assumes that NNSA will utilize many of the existing services already provided by the DOE's Office of Administrative Management and Support. These functions comprise primarily central mail receipt and distribution, transportation and domestic travel, engineering and facilities services, and other services as required by NNSA. In addition, it is assumed that the administrative support capabilities currently in DP and NN are needed there and will therefore remain in those organizations. However, for those offices that do not have in-house support capabilities, the Administrative Support Staff will ensure that such services are provided. This will ensure that NNSA employees do not experience any deterioration of services.

The primary role of Administrative Services is coordination and facilitation. Its customers are NNSA headquarters organizations. Its core functions are the following:

  • Serve as the primary interface and liaison between NNSA and the DOE headquarters offices that provide administrative services to NNSA and its program and staff offices

. Office of Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation (PPBE)

Mission - To provide direction, advice, and maintenance regarding processes and systems that facilitate NNSA's planning and budget activities.
Functions - The PPBE Office comprises the Program Analysis and Evaluation (PA&E) Division and the Budget Division. Customers of this office include the Administrator, Deputy and Associate Administrators, NNSA program managers, and the Management Council.

Core functions of PPBE include the following:

  • Develop and implement the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation System (PPBES) for the NNSA
  • Serve as principal advisor to the Administrator and other NNSA officials on NNSA financial issues
  • Provide direction and oversight for budget formulation, presentation, and funds administration processes
  • Provide direction and oversight for the PPBES implementation
  • Maintain all systems and databases necessary to support the Future Years Nuclear Security Plan (FYNSP)
  • Provide independent financial analysis in support of NNSA resource allocation decisions

The Program Analysis and Evaluation (PA&E) Division provides independent, analytic advice in support of the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process to support NNSA objectives. PA&E supports the NNSA as an independent organization under the Director of PPBE. PA&E's primary responsibility is to provide its customers-NNSA program managers, Deputy and Associate Administrators, and the Administrator and his Management Council-with expert independent, analytic advice regarding the following:

  • Development and evaluation of program alternatives and the cost-effectiveness of nuclear defense systems, nonproliferation projects, and the infrastructure necessary to support national defense objectives
  • Optimization of resources through complexwide integration and risk mitigation strategies
  • Major systems-acquisition analysis and support recommendations

f. Diversity Programs

Mission - Advise NNSA officials about the effects of NNSA policies, regulations, and other actions on NNSA's minority employees, and develop ways to increase participation of small and disadvantaged businesses in the Administration's programs and procurement opportunities

The above exceprt of the Intelligence Community.gov's original listed press publicity page backgrounds the overhaul of internal review within the Intelligence Community that Dick Cheney's influence helped to shape within the DCI. Adding Energy Dep't to the IN was the swing vote to override all opinion within the framework of review for what would be presented to the President to shape policy.

PAM, under the NNSA, in the Dep't on Energy, most likely the introductory characters were in place under the diversity program. Cheney is an energy baron's wet dream, he changed how the balance of review was seated to favor his odds, and used politically correct language to justify the personnel overhauls...
