  3. Actions Taken to Date • DOE ad-hoc team developed to conduct a “Gap Analysis” of DOE Order 420.2B and existing rules, guidance, and standards • Team includes SC-31 and representatives from the ISCs and two Site Offices (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Brookhaven Site Office) • DOE ad-hoc team in the final stages of completing the “Gap Analysis” • 420.2B requirements compared against 10 CFR 835 and 851, General Counsel Guidance etc. • Will provide a roadmap for streamlining requirements • “Gap Analysis” will serve as the technical basis for Order revisions • Contractor involvement • Two representatives will be added to the ad-hoc team after completion of the “Gap Analysis” • Chief Operating Officer Representative and Chief Research Officer Representative • Contractor representatives will provide feedback on the “Gap Analysis” and input from the contractor perspective
