  SSO Staffing Analysis  
Two alternatives are provided to determine SSO staffing for defense nuclear facilities at a site. One is adapted from the FR staffing process which uses the guidance in DOE-STD-1063-2011, Facility Representatives. The FR staffing process was modified to address the duties and responsibilities of SSOs described in DOE O 426.1, Federal Technical Capability and takes into account safety system characteristics, including system size, condition, and complexity, and other factors deemed pertinent. The other process considers the tasks and products needed for a facility's safety system oversight program and calculates the number of people needed to accomplish the oversight program. Either is acceptable for determining SSO staffing needs, and instructions and examples for both are provided at http://www.hss.energy.gov/deprep/ftcp/Workforce.asp.
