LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 24 2 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION 2.1 LLNL Organization Structure Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC operates LLNL for the DOE/NNSA under Contract DE AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) between LLNS and DOE. The LLNL organization chart applicable to this Emergency Plan is shown on Figure 2.1. 2.1.1 Emergency Management Program Responsibilities The Laboratory Director, who reports to the LLNS Board of Governors, is responsible for the safe operation of LLNL. The Director has the authority and responsibility to ensure the Laboratory complies with applicable DOE Orders, as well as other Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. The Director has delegated responsibility for operational activities, including emergency management, to the Deputy Director. The Operations and Business (O&B) Principal Associate Director is responsible for management oversight of LLNL’s facility operations programs and integration with other O&B activities, including emergency management. The Department Head for the EMD is responsible for the direction of LLNL’s comprehensive emergency management and response program and serves as the Emergency Management Program Administrator under DOE Order 151.1D. The Department Head is also the Functional Area Manager for the Emergency Management Functional Area at LLNL. Under LLNL's management system, the Functional Area Manager is responsible for assessing and measuring the effectiveness of functional processes - in this case, emergency management - throughout the Laboratory. DOE Order 151.1D is one of more than 200 standards/regulations (e.g., National Fire Protection Association [NFPA], Code of Federal Regulations [CFR], DOE directives) deemed applicable to LLNL that fall within the Emergency Management Functional Area and the responsibility of the Emergency Management Functional Area Manager. When decisions related to the Emergency Management Functional Area will have a significant or broad impact on other Functional Areas or the Laboratory at large, the Functional Area Manager is responsible for presenting the proposed changes to the O&B Principal Associate Directorate’s Operations Review Board, and then to the Institutional Operations Review Board. The Institutional Operations Review Board, which is represented by all key programs at LLNL, then facilitates the negotiation and decision-making process for approving policy implementation while balancing institutional risk. The PPD Manager, reporting to the Department Head of EMD, is responsible for the daily activities of the PPD, including administration of programmatic activities necessary for LLNL to comply with DOE Order 151.1D. The PPD Facilities and Equipment Specialist is responsible for the readiness and maintenance of the EOC, the alternate EOC, and other special projects as assigned by the PPD Manager.
