Section 180c Ad Hoc Working Group Update November 3, 2016

Overview Section 180c of the NWPA (1982) provides technical assistance & training funds for first responders in states and for Tribes impacted by the transportation of spent nuclear fuel. DOE policy for implementation was published in the Federal Register in 2008. Early 2014 SRGs and states/tribes started process for DOE Exercise to test the 2008 policy. DOE primary goal - test the operability of the policy framework described in 2008 FRN.

Timeline May 2014 Formalize October 2014 Design December 2014 Initiate March 2015 Extension August 2015 Phase II March 2016 Conclude June 2016 Review

EX Goals Comparing policy options/implementation logistics Gain understanding & experience (simulation) Assess communications process Evaluate funding formula Assess incremental need analysis Test the grant application process & requirements

EX Outcome Summary Establish better expectations for outcomes for future exercise (time commitment & expertise) Better define training requirements for different public officials (participant diversity) Better explanation of application process and be less cumbersome (simplified) SME and participation with Merit Review Panel

EX Outcome Summary Cooperative Agreement versus Grant What can be facilitated at the state/tribe level DOE involvement Preference for just one 5 year grant for Assessing, Planning, and Training Need to cover cost of operational activities State participants fund requirements varied widely (Increment of need needs to be defined) 2008 FRN formula not tested

Next Steps (from Work Plan) Develop a grant application template that includes Route Maps Summary breakdown of government structure and responsibilities History of training/equipment for increment of need justification

Next Steps Develop a fact sheet for state/tribal government - management to support continued staff time Resolve the Funding Formula Develop proposed policy revision language (after resolving funding formula) Develop TEPP training modules in Spring 2017
