1.0 Introduction

This subject area addresses the Office of Science (SC) approach to identifying, assessing, and commenting on requirements applicable to the SC mission within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). SC utilizes Management System Owners (MSOs) to manage requirements within assigned functional areas. The appointment of an MSO is made based on an individual's technical expertise and leadership capabilities. Each MSO is further supported by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across the SC organization to ensure varying perspectives are considered in either the review of draft or emerging requirements and/or the development of implementing procedures. Within the Office of SCience Management System (SCMS), all requirements generally applicable to SC organizations and/or its contractors are mapped to individual Management Systems and therefore assigned to a specific MSO to address. Mapping of requirements to individual Management Systems/MSOs is maintained by the SCMS Operations Center. Sources of requirements may include but are not limited to:

Federal Laws and Regulations,
Rules promulgated by DOE (Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]),
DOE Directives,
DOE Technical Standards that are mandated by DOE Directives, and
DOE memoranda, as deemed applicable through the SCMS process.
