Chairman Patrick Wood III
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Energy's mission is to foster a secure and reliable
energy system that is environmentally and economically sustainable; to
be a responsible steward of the Nation's nuclear weapons; to clean up
the Department's facilities; to lead in the physical sciences and
advance the biological, environmental, and computational sciences; and
to provide premier scientific instruments for the Nation's research
enterprise.
The Department of Energy (DOE) was established by the Department of
Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7131), effective October 1, 1977,
pursuant to Executive Order 12009 of September 13, 1977. The act
consolidated the major Federal energy functions into one Cabinet-level
Department.
Secretary The Secretary decides major energy policy and planning
issues; acts as the principal spokesperson for the Department; and
ensures the effective communication and working relationships with
Federal, State, local, and tribal governments and the public. The
Secretary is the principal adviser to the President on energy policies,
plans, and programs.
Counterintelligence The Office of Counterintelligence develops and
implements an effective counterintelligence program to identify,
neutralize, and deter foreign government or industrial intelligence
activities directed at or involving Department programs, personnel,
facilities, technologies, classified information, and sensitive
information. The Office formulates all DOE counterintelligence policy
and coordinates all investigative matters with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
For further information, contact the Office of Counterintelligence.
Phone, 202-586-5901.
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Liaison The Office of the
Departmental Representative to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
Board (DNFSB) manages the Department's interaction with DNFSB as
mandated by law, including achievement of the mutual goal of ensuring
protection of public and employee health and safety and the environment
by appropriate and timely resolution of DNFSB recommendations and
concerns.
For further information, contact the Departmental Representative to the
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. Phone, 202-586-3887.
Intelligence The Office of Intelligence ensures that departmental
intelligence information requirements are met and that the Department's
technical, analytical, and research expertise is made available to
support U.S. intelligence efforts. The Office ensures effective use of
the U.S. Government's intelligence apparatus in support of the
Department of Energy's needs for information on foreign energy
situations and hostile threats, information on global nuclear weapons
development, nonproliferation, and foreign hydrocarbon, nuclear, and
other energy production and consumption.
For further information, contact the Office of Intelligence. Phone, 202-
586-2610.
Security The Office of Security develops strategies and policies
governing the protection of national security and other critical assets

energy data to assist government and nongovernment users in
understanding energy trends.
For further information, contact the Director, National Energy
Information Center. Phone, 202-586-6537.
Nuclear Security Programs
Nuclear Security The National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) was
created by Congress through the National Defense Authorization Act for
[[Page 218]]
Fiscal Year 2000 to bring focus to the management of the Nation's
defense nuclear security programs. Three existing organizations within
the Department of Energy--Defense Programs, Defense Nuclear
Nonproliferation, and Naval Reactors--were combined into a new,
separately organized and managed agency within the DOE, headed by an
Administrator who reports to the Secretary. The NNSA is responsible for
strengthening United States security through military application of
nuclear energy and by reducing the global threat from terrorism and
weapons of mass destruction.
For further information, contact the Associate Administrator for
Management and Administration. Phone, 202-586-8454.
Defense Activities The Office of the Deputy Administrator for Defense
Programs directs the Nation's nuclear weapons research, development,
testing, production, and surveillance program. It is also responsible
for the production of the special nuclear materials used by the weapons
program within the Department and the management of defense nuclear
waste and byproducts. The Office ensures the technology base for the
surety, reliability, military effectiveness, and credibility of the
nuclear weapon stockpile. It also manages research in inertial
confinement fusion.
For further information, contact the Associate Administrator for
Management and Administration. Phone, 301-586-8454.
Naval Reactors The Office of the Deputy Administrator for Naval
Reactors manages and performs research, development, design,
acquisition, specification, construction, inspection, installation,
certification, testing overhaul, refueling, operations procedures,
maintenance, supply support, and ultimate disposition of naval nuclear
propulsion plants.
For further information, contact the Deputy Administrator for Naval
Reactors. Phone, 703-603-5502.

and provides the infrastructure support for 10 national laboratories. In
terms of basic research, the Office of Science provides over 40% of
Federal support to the physical sciences (including 90% of Federal
support for high energy and nuclear physics), the sole support to select
sub-
[[Page 219]]
fields of national importance, such as nuclear medicine, heavy element
chemistry, and magnetic fusion, and support for the research of
scientists and graduate students located in universities throughout the
Nation. Office of Science support for major scientific user facilities,
including accelerators, synchrotron light sources, and neutron sources,
means that more that 18,000 scientists per year are able to use these
state-of-the-art facilities to conduct research in a wide range of
fields, including biology, medicine, and materials.
For further information, contact the Associate Director of Resource
Management. Phone, 301-903-4944.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
An independent five-member commission within the Department of Energy,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's responsibilities include
regulating transmission and wholesale sales of electric energy in
interstate commerce, certifying natural gaspipelines,regulating the
rates of natural gas pipelines and pipelines transporting crude oil and
oil products,and licensing non-Federal hydroelectric facilities.

Operations and Field Offices
The vast majority of the Department's energy and physical research and
development, nuclear weapons research and development, testing and
production, environmental restoration, and waste management activities
are carried out by contractors who operate Government-owned facilities.
Management and administration of Government-owned, contractor-operated
facility contracts are the major responsibility of the Department's
eight operations offices and two special purpose field offices.
Department operations offices provide a formal link between
Department headquarters and the field laboratories and other operating
facilities. They also manage programs and projects as assigned from lead
headquarters program offices. Routine management guidance, coordination,
and oversight of the operations and field offices is provided by the
Office of Field Integration. Daily specific program direction for the
operations offices is provided by the cognizant Assistant Secretary,
Office Director, or program officer.
