This document describes guidelines and procedures to be followed by DOE contractor and federal PA offices. It covers media relations, Freedom of Information Act requests and emergency public information.
Public affairs officers at each of the site offices are in most cases the first point of contact for contractor communications staffs in all functions covered by this protocol document. Site PA officers will coordinate with the DOE headquarters offices of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Affairs, although direct contact between contractor PA and Headquarters may also be required.
