1.  **[Introduction]{.smallcaps}**

    1.  **[purpose]{.smallcaps}**

This document presents the organization's plan to implement the
requirements of the System Engineering NPR.

2.  **[Scope]{.smallcaps}**

The scope of this document contains the plan for demonstrating
compliance with the SE NPR requirements.

3.  **[Background]{.smallcaps}**

*[D]{.smallcaps}escribe basic product lines for the Center and the scope
of application of NPR requirements.*

4.  **[Designated Governing Authority]{.smallcaps}**

*This section describes the criteria or methodology that the Center will
use to determine who the designated governing authority will be for
various classes or categories of projects performed at the Center. One
philosophy might be, for example, for projects under \$10 million, the
DGA will be at the division level.*

2.  **[Reference Documents]{.smallcaps}**

*Enter such documents as existing Center requirement documents and work
instructions that reflect implementation of the requirements of the
NPR.*

3.  **[Compliance with SE NPR]{.smallcaps}**

    1.  **[Description of Center Compliance Methodology]{.smallcaps}**

*This section would include general textual descriptions on how the
organization will approach compliance with the requirements in the SE
NPR.*

*Definition of the population that these requirements apply to and how
they will be trained at the Center would also be included in this
section.*

*Estimates of the cost to implement these requirements can also be
included in this section.*

2.  **[Compliance Matrix]{.smallcaps}**

**Table 3-1 provides the cross-reference of the SE NPR requirements with
Center documentation.**
