                             TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

1.   NEGOTIATION FOR RATES OR SERVICES.  Relief from rates, classification
     rules, or carrier's regulations affecting shipments of materials which
     appear to warrant adjustment shall be sought by negotiation through
     established carrier channels.  Discriminatory costs, rules, or
     regulations, which result in unreasonable transportation costs, impede
     the movement or timely delivery of Departmental materials, or impose
     prejudicial restrictions or requirements on Departmental shipments,
     provide the basis for initiation of such negotiations.

     a.   Content of Rate Proposals.  Requests for adjustments should
          include the following justifying factors as appropriate:

          (1)  Description of commodity.

          (2)  Value of packaged shipments or released valuation.

          (3)  Manner of shipment.

          (4)  Kind of container to be used.

          (5)  Density per cubic foot.

          (6)  Size and shape of article.

          (7)  Susceptibility to damage.

          (8)  Average carload or truckload weight.

          (9)  Type of carrier equipment required.

          (10) Special services incident to shipment, such as attendants.

          (11) Estimated volume of movement.

          (12) Length of haul.

          (13) Regularity of movement (whether constant or sporadic).

          (14) Name of origin and destination.

          (15) Comparison of the proposed rate with existing rates on the
               same commodity within the same general territory or a
               statement concerning the similarity of the commodity to other
               commodities on which rates exist.

          (16) Statement of unreasonableness or inadequacy of existing rates
               or other tariff provisions.

          (17) Evaluation on which existing rates are based.

          (18) Statement as to competition with other modes of
               transportation.

     b.   Procedures for Handling Rate Requests.

          (1)  When it is believed that other field elements would have an
               interest in a rate proposal determination, the proponent
               field element shall furnish a copy of the proposal to EM-1
               for review.  Copies also should be furnished to those
               organizations which might be interested in the proposed
               negotiations.

          (2)  Upon receipt and review, interested offices shall advise the
               proponent office and EM-1 of the extent of their interest and
               the desired degree of participation in the negotiations.

          (3)  If it develops that several field elements are interested, a
               coordinated proposal (with full supporting data) must be
               forwarded by the proponent office through the appropriate
               channels to EM-1 for coordination and appropriate action.

     c.   Application of Rates or Services.  Rates or services obtained
          through negotiations shall be applied to DOE and DOE contractor
          shipments where applicable.

2.   SECTION 10721 FREIGHT RATE QUOTATIONS.  Section 10721(b)(i) of the
     Interstate Commerce Act permits carriers to provide free or reduced
     rates for transportation services to Government agencies, and others.
     The negotiation of reduced rates and specialized services under Section
     10721(b)(1) can often effect overall cost reductions to DOE programs,
     while at the same time preserving compensatory rate levels of
     participating carriers.  The possibility of establishing Section 10721
     rates, rules, and regulations quickly and without advance notice, even
     retroactively when appropriate without legal impact on commercial rates
     of longstanding nor protest by other shippers, should be considered.
     See paragraphs 1a(1) through (14) of this chapter for content of
     proposals and general procedures for handling rate requests.

3.   CARRIER REQUESTS FOR OPERATING AUTHORITY.  All participation in
     proceedings with the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Civil
     Aeronautic Board shall be with the advice and concurrence of the Office
     of the General Counsel.  Heads of Field Elements may indicate a need
     for transportation service through submission of written statements to
     the regulatory agency concerned or by other appropriate procedures.  A
     copy of each submission and supporting testimony shall be forwarded to
     EM-1.

4.   COMPLIANCE WITH TRANSPORTATION LAWS OR REGULATIONS.

     a.   General Requirements.  DOE shipments shall comply with all laws
          and regulations notwithstanding the Department's national security
          exemption stated In Chapter II, paragraph 1c of this Order.
          Requests for waivers may be submitted to the cognizant regulatory
          authority pursuant to a determination by the Head of the field
          element of the need of such waiver.

     b.   Radioactive and Other Hazardous Materials.  State and local laws
          which are unduly restrictive may require the assertion of the
          constitutional immunities of the Federal Government.  Any
          assertion against a State or local jurisdiction requires the
          concurrence of the Office of the General Counsel or the cognizant
          field counsel.

     c.   Size and Weight Limitations for Highway Shipments.  Motor carrier
          shipments shall conform to State and local laws, regulations, and
          ordinances relating to weight and size limitations.  No vehicular
          movement which exceeds any State's legal weight or size limitation
          shall be undertaken over public highways unless prior permission
          is formally granted by the state concerned.  The Department or
          Department's contractor support of a carrier requesting such
          permission may be furnished only after a determination that it is
          not practical to divide the load into smaller lots or feasible to
          move the material by other means of transportation.

     d.   Waivers and Exemptions.

          (1)  Requests for transportation waivers and exemptions from
               Federal laws and regulations, must be made by the head of the
               field element to EM-1 for coordination and submission to the
               appropriate regulatory agency.  The Deputy Assistant
               Secretary for Military Application (DP-20) and the Deputy
               Assistant Secretary for Naval Reactors (NE-60) have the
               option to place their requests directly with the appropriate
               regulatory agency, keeping EM-1 informed of such action. This
               is in exception to DOT exemptions for hazardous materials,
               which are coordinated by EH-1.

          (2)  Heads of Field Elements may file for waivers and exemptions
               from State and local laws, ordinances, and regulations direct
               with the appropriate agency, keeping EM-1 and DC-1 informed.

5.   CONSIGNMENT OF SHIPMENTS.  Commercial bills of lading, air bills, and
     other commercial documents covering shipments made by or to Department
     contractors shall provide for consignment of the shipments from or to
     either the United States Department of Energy "in care of" the
     Department's contractor or the Department contractor "for the United
     States Department of Energy."

6.   DEMURRAGE AND DETENTION.  To assure prompt release of carrier's
     equipment (particularly special capacity, heavy-duty, or other
     equipment in short supply), and to avoid demurrage and detention
     charges, a diligent effort shall be made to load, unload, and release
     freight equipment within the prescribed free time.  Rail "average
     demurrage agreements" should be entered into when the volume of rail
     traffic justifies such an arrangement.

7.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY FOR SHIPMENT.

     a.   False billing or improper classification of freight is prohibited
          by law.  The Interstate Commerce Act prescribes fines and
          penalties (applicable to shippers and carriers) for such
          falsification.

     b.   Each shipment shall be described on the bill of lading or other
          shipping document as specified in the governing freight
          classification, carrier's tariff, or rate tender.  Broad
          descriptions which are not provided in tariffs (such as
          "government supplies") shall not be used.  Trade names may be used
          in connection with published nomenclature when it is believed such
          use will clarify the proper classification.

     c.   Shippers who offer radioactive materials, other hazardous
          materials, or hazardous wastes subject to Department of
          Transportation or Environmental Protection Agency regulations
          shall describe and classify these articles on manifests and other
          shipping papers as prescribed in the applicable regulations.
          Persons who knowingly deliver any hazardous material under a false
          or deceptive description, marking, or other declaration are
          subject to criminal penalties under the Hazardous Materials
          Transportation Act, Public Law 93-633.

8.   PREMIUM TRANSPORTATION.

     a.   Premium transportation shall be used only when the additional cost
          is clearly justified.  When premium transportation (including
          exclusive use of vehicle) is used for shipments weighing 500
          pounds or more, a written statement supporting the use of such
          transportation shall be retained in an appropriate file.

     b.   Exclusive use of a vehicle shall be requested only when justified
          -- for security, safeguards, or programmatic reasons, because of
          the nature of the commodity being shipped, or because of a
          provision in the Certificate of Compliance, the Department of
          Transportation exemption, or other applicable regulations. Freight
          bills, or bills of lading covering such shipments, shall be
          annotated to indicate both that' exclusive use of vehicle was
          requested and was furnished by the carrier.

9.   CONSOLIDATION OF SHIPMENTS.  Shipments should be consolidated into
     larger shipping quantities or units whenever such arrangements will
     result in transportation or administrative economies.  In determining
     whether separate shipments may be advantageously consolidated,
     consideration shall be given to established stopoff privileges for
     partial loading or unloading at intermediate locations, inclusion of
     small lots in the same car or trailer with carload or truckload
     quantities, and possibly using freight forwarder service.
     Opportunities for consolidation between the various field elements
     should be considered.  Other factors which must be considered when
     applicable are nuclear criticality safety, radiological safety,
     safeguards requirements, security Interest, supporting
     telecommunications, and programmatic requirements.

10.  TRANSPORTATION DATA.

     a.   Shipment Mobility/Accountability Concept (SMAC).  This system,
          located at the DOE Oak Ridge Field Office, accumulates
          transportation data and other related data for Departmental
          activities.  It is a valuable transportation tool for both
          Headquarters and field elements.  SMAC data is utilized in risk
          analysis studies, rate negotiations, replying to Congressional and
          Freedom of Information inquiries and in the development of routing
          models for DOE's hazardous and radioactive materials.  The SMAC
          also provides a control system to avoid duplicate freight bill
          payments.  All field elements will participate in SMAC by
          providing shipment data unless exempted by EM-1. Those exempted
          from participation will submit an annual transportation report as
          prescribed in subparagraph c below and will provide transportation
          data as required on an ad hoc basis.

     b.   Data Input Schedule.  The SMAC receives input data on a monthly
          basis by the 11th working day of each month for shipments made
          during the previous month.  Quarterly submissions, while not
          encouraged, will be accepted.  Contact point on all matters
          involving SMAC is the Chief of Transportation, DOE Oak Ridge Field
          Office.

     c.   Annual Transportation Report.  The annual transportation report
          submitted by the field elements and the Director of Administrative
          Services (AD-60) shall include the following data elements:

          (1)  Hazardous and Radioactive Materials Shipments.

               (a)  Total transportation costs by hazard class or
                    radioactive type, e.g. limited quantity, low specific
                    activity, Type A, Type B and large quantity by mode;

               (b)  Total tons by class or type by mode; and

               (c)  Number of shipments by class or type by mode.

          (2)  Non-Hazardous Materials Shipments.

               (a)  Total transportation cost by mode;

               (b)  Total tonnage by mode; and

               (c)  Number of shipments by mode.

          (3)  All Materials Shipments.

               (a)  Costs for claims, demurrage or detention.

               (b)  Costs of Departmental traffic staffs (including
                    contractors) and associated person-years of effort
                    expended.

     d.   Reporting Data.  Reports shall be prepared and forwarded to reach
          the Headquarters Transportation Management Division (EM-561) no
          later than 60 days after the end of a fiscal year.

11.  SHIPMENTS BY AMERICAN OR FOREIGN FLAG CARRIERS.  The use of United
     States flag vessels and air carriers for any Government financed
     movement of freight is required by statute (46 U.S.C. 1241 and 49
     U.S.C. 1517) when such vessels and air carriers are available.  When a
     foreign flag vessel or air carrier is substituted, an explanatory
     certificate or memorandum must be included in the shipment file with a
     copy used to support the foreign flag carrier's freight bill.  A
     facsimile of the type of certificate required is shown in 4 CFR Part
     52.2.  Under this same part, the Comptroller General has the authority
     to disallow any expenditure for foreign flag service not so justified.

12.  CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSPORT VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT.

     a.   Application.

          (1)  Public Vehicle.  Interpretation of this definition has varied
               from time to time.  In order that vehicle (rail or highway)
               be considered as a public vehicle, it must meet both the
               conditions of either ownership or lease and the condition of
               use by the Government in a nonrevenue-producing operation.
               It is not sufficient for the transportation operation to be
               "supervised" or "controlled" by the United States Government.
               The operation must be outside of the definitions of common,
               contract, or private carriers engaged in commerce, as defined
               in Section 203(a) of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 United
               States Code 303).  Examples:

               (a)  Trucks and automobiles owned by the DOE, with title
                    vested in the Government, are operated by Department
                    contractors (such as Martin Marietta Energy Systems at
                    the DOE Oak Ridge Field Office, Westinghouse Savannah
                    River Company at the DOE Savannah River Field Office,
                    and Sandia at the DOE Albuquerque Field Office).  The
                    vehicles are driven by contractor employees, acting on
                    behalf of the Department.  This activity is ancillary to
                    the primary function of the contractor of performing
                    research and development.  The contractor's
                    transportation activities are nonrevenue-producing and
                    the contractor is not engaged in commerce.  Such
                    vehicles are public vehicles.

               (b)  The Department leases cars and trucks from a commercial
                    vehicle rental company.  The vehicles are assigned
                    exclusively to the Department, and the vehicles are
                    operated and maintained either by the employees of the
                    Department or the contractor or DOE contractor as in
                    paragraph 12a(1)(a), above.  Such vehicles are public
                    vehicles.

               (c)  A field element or a contractor engages the services of
                    a commercial carrier to transport an intersite shipment
                    of classified materials offsite, between facility X and
                    facility Y.  The Department provides escort cars driven
                    by Department or contractor employees.  The truck is
                    driven by an employee of the carrier.  This is a
                    commercial trucking operation involving for-hire
                    carriage in which the operator of the truck is engaged
                    in a revenue-producing operation.  The truck is a
                    for-hire vehicle, not a public vehicle.

               (d)  A Department-owned semitrailer is loaded with
                    Government-owned property by a Department contractor.  A
                    commercial carrier is engaged to provide a tractor and
                    driver to haul the semitrailer from National Laboratory
                    X to National Laboratory Y.  This movement is a
                    commercial operation and the carrier is engaged in a
                    revenue-producing operation.  The truck, including the
                    semitrailer, is a for-hire vehicle, not a public
                    vehicle.

               (e)  A special train is made up of twelve Department-owned
                    rail cars including two Department-owned escort rail
                    cars.  A locomotive owned and operated by a rail carrier
                    is used to pull this special train.  The train crew is
                    employed by the rail carrier.  These transportation
                    activities are revenue producing.  None of the rail cars
                    including those owned by the Department are public
                    vehicles, and the movement constitutes for-hire
                    carriage.

          (2)  Government Aircraft.  Ownership of an aircraft is not a
               factor in determining whether the aircraft is considered a
               Government aircraft, not subject to the regulations of the
               Federal Aviation Administration of the Department of
               Transportation.  The application of the term "Government
               aircraft" depends solely on the dedication of the use of the
               aircraft to the service of the Government and the control
               exercised by the Government over the crew, maintenance, and
               dispatch of the aircraft.  See 49 CFR, Part 175.5, for
               details.  Examples:

               (a)  Department-owned aircraft operated by a commercial air
                    carrier.  The aircrafts are used exclusively in the
                    service of the Government.  The carrier is engaged in a
                    revenue-producing operation in air commerce.  The
                    aircraft is a Government aircraft.

               (b)  An aircraft owned by an air carrier assigned for
                    Government shipments under a contract which stipulates
                    the aircraft is reserved for exclusive use of the
                    Government during the life of the contract.  The
                    aircraft is a Government aircraft.

               (c)  The same aircraft described above is also operated by
                    the air carrier under contracts with several other
                    government agencies which permit use, but the carrier is
                    under contractual obligation to operate the aircraft
                    only for Government uses and not commercial.  The
                    aircraft is a Government aircraft.

               (d)  An aircraft operated by an air carrier under contract
                    with the Department for routine daily shuttle flights
                    between National Laboratory X and National Laboratory Y.
                    On some daily flights only Government freight and
                    official Department or other Government passengers are
                    carried.  On other daily flights, revenue passengers
                    (e.g., dependent, vendors) are carried as an authorized
                    contractual service to those passengers due to the
                    remoteness of National Laboratory Y.  Such alternative
                    or optional use of the aircraft, or of mixed government
                    and commercial shipments on the same aircraft, is deemed
                    to be air commerce.  The aircraft is a civil aircraft,
                    not a Government aircraft, even while employed for
                    Government shipments or carriage of Government employees
                    on official business.

               (e)  An aircraft operated by an air carrier under contract
                    with the Department for occasional shipments of
                    Government property between National Laboratory X and
                    National Laboratory Y.  The contract permits use of the
                    aircraft for commercial purposes when not engaged under
                    contract with the Department.  The aircraft is a civil
                    aircraft, not a Government aircraft, even while employed
                    for Government shipments.  If the aircraft was modified
                    specifically to accommodate Departmental needs and is,
                    in fact, not operated for other than Departmental
                    purposes, the aircraft is a Government aircraft.

     b.   Determination of Classification.  It is the responsibility of the
          program office director or field element head to determine whether
          a vehicle or aircraft is public, Government or for-hire.  The
          above guidelines shall be considered in making the decision.
          Doubtful cases should be referred to EM-1 who will obtain the
          necessary interpretation from the appropriate authority.

13.  MILITARY AIR TRANSPORTATION.

     a.   Conditions and procedures pertinent to the use of military air
          transportation service to handle shipments for the Department and
          its contractors are outlined below.  These procedures are not
          applicable to shipments of nuclear explosives and components
          within the purview of the Division of Naval Reactors and the
          Office of Military Applications.

     b.   Use of the Department of Defense (DOD) air transportation systems
          shall be in accordance with that Department's regulations (Air
          Force Regulation 76-38 Attachment 5).  The DOD will handle
          Department of Energy and its contractors' shipments when the air
          transportation required is of official concern to, and is to be
          paid for (directly, or by reimbursement to the contractor) by the
          DOE.  DOE shipments of programmatic interest (official concern)
          but which are to be made by other than the DOE or its contractors,
          may also be handled by the DOD, if the DOE certifies that such
          transportation is in the national interest.  Use of military air
          transportation for DOE activities is premised on a situation in
          which commercial air transportation is neither readily obtainable
          nor satisfactorily capable of meeting program requirements.
          Except for the Deputy Assistant Secretaries for Naval Reactors and
          Military Application programs, requests for obtaining military air
          transportation service shall be made through EM-1 and shall
          include program division certification that such transportation is
          in the national interest, and that commercial air transportation
          is not readily obtainable nor satisfactorily capable of meeting
          program requirements.  The following information is required by
          EM-1 prior to the submission of DOE requests for special airlift
          air missions from the DOD.

          (1)  Overall Security Classification of Special Airlift Air
               Mission.  (Special weapons movement will carry a minimum
               classification of restricted data to identify movement.)

          (2)  Mission Number.  Assigned by the Department of Defense.

          (3)  Priority.  Assigned as explained in Attachment 6 of Air Force
               Regulation 76-38.

          (4)  Unit and Project Name (or Nickname).

          (5)  Route (all of the following to be identified by airfield;
               that is, Anderson Air Force Base, Guam vice Guam):

               (a)  Onload.

               (b)  Enroute stops.

               (c)  Offload.

          (6)  Dates.  Do not request specific times unless absolutely
               necessary, are than one onload or offload, give availability
               desired pickup and delivery of each.

               (a)  Availability.

               (b)  Date pickup is desired.

               (c)  Date delivery is required.

          field element will furnish the above information as well as a
          certification that such transportation is in the national
          interest, and the name of the nongovernmental agency, company, or
          individual responsible for reimbursing the Department of Defense.

14.  INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

     a.   Consistent with the Government's self-insurance policy, funds
          shall not be expended to insure property against loss, damage, or
          destruction while in transit.  In instances where the governing
          tariff limits the carrier's liability to a value per pound or a
          value per shipment and provides an additional charge for shipments
          exceeding that value, declare the highest value which the carrier
          will honor without additional charge or enter "no value declared"
          (NVD) if the limiting value is unknown.  Similarly, when rates or
          classification ratings vary according to a declared value, declare
          the maximum value applicable to the lowest published rate or
          rating.

     b.   Rates on a few commodities are based on actual value requiring
          that the actual value be declared.  Declaration of full value on
          shipments on nonradioactive precious metals in certain
          circumstances is discussed on page II-4, paragraph 3b(5).

                                 CHAPTER II

                          TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS

1.   WAIVERS AND STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS FROM FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

     a.   Exemptions from General Services Administration Transportation
          Regulations.  The Department and its contractors' transportation
          and traffic management activities have certain exemptions from the
          Federal Property and Administrative Act of 1949, as amended
          (Public Law 152, 81st Congress, 63 Stat., 377) at title II,
          section 201(b) which provides "The Administrator (GSA) shall as
          far as practicable-provide any of the services specified ... to
          any other Federal agency ... upon request."  Title VI, section
          502(d), of the same Act provides "nothing in this Act shall impair
          or affect any authority of ... (13) the Atomic Energy Commission
          (AEC)."

          (1)  Title 41 CFR, Part 109-40, "Transportation and Traffic
               Management," iterates the applicability of and departure from
               41 CFR, parts 101 et seq., for the Department of Energy and
               its cost-type contractors in conducting transportation and
               traffic management type activities.  There is no specific
               exemption from GSA's Centralized Household Goods Traffic
               Management Program.  (41 CFR, part 40.203-4(a).)

          (2)  Traffic Management and Transportation Operations functions
               existed in the Atomic Energy Commission; therefore, such
               functions are vested in the Department pursuant to the Energy
               Reorganization Act and the DOE Organization Act (Public Law
               95-91).

     b.   Exemptions from Nuclear Regulatory Commission Packaging and
          Transportation Regulations.  The Department's nuclear facilities
          and operations, including packaging and transportation functions,
          are generally exempt from Commission regulations and requirements
          as reflected in 10 CFR parts 30.12, 40.11, and 70.11.

          (1)  Section 104 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public
               Law 93-438) abolished the Atomic Energy Commission and
               transferred to the Energy Research and Development
               Administration all functions and responsibilities not
               specifically assigned to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
               Section 301 of the Department of Energy Organization Act of
               1977 (Public Law 95-91) transferred the Energy Research and
               Development Administration responsibilities to the Department
               of Energy.

          (2)  The Department's nuclear materials transportation operations,
               unless otherwise exempted, shall be in compliance with the
               appropriate Federal regulations, or as a minimum, provide
               equally effective levels of shipment safety and security
               protection.  Deviations from such regulations, except as
               authorized by DOE Orders shall be reported in advance to EM-1
               with appropriate justification, for coordination at the
               Headquarters level.

          (3)  An important consideration for transportation operations and
               associated requirements is to ascertain the point of custody
               transfer or passage of title in making nuclear materials
               shipments to or from Commission licensed facilities.  The
               point at which custody transfers or title passes shall be
               identified in the contract between the Department, or its
               license exempt contractors, and the licensees.  This
               determination is required to establish custody or ownership
               of materials in transit, and the application of associated
               rules and regulations.

     c.   National Security Exemption.  Title 49 CFR, part 173.7(b), of the
          Hazardous Materials Regulations, Department of Transportation,
          states:  "Shipments of radioactive materials, made by or under the
          direction or supervision of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) or
          the Department of Defense (DOD), and which are escorted by
          personnel specifically designated by or under the authority of
          those Agencies, for the purpose of national security, are not
          subject to the regulations in parts 171-178."  Any questions
          concerning the applicability of National Security Exemption for
          specific DOE shipments, shall be referred to EM-1 for resolution
          with other Departmental entities at the Headquarter's level.

2.   PACKAGING AND MARKING OF MATERIALS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

     a.   Properly preparing materials for transportation is the
          responsibility of the shipper.  Proper preparation enables the
          materials to reach destination in good order.  Except for those
          goods which can be shipped in bulk or loose, goods should be
          packaged in material of sufficiently substantial construction to
          withstand the ordinary hazards of transportation.  Both packaged
          and loose materials must be marked to assure prompt, safe, and
          correct delivery.  Minimum packaging and marking requirements for
          materials in transportation are contained in the "Freight
          Classifications" of the various modes of transportation.
          Noncompliance can result in penalty rate assessments, denial of
          claims or both when materials are damaged in transit.  More
          detailed guidance regarding packaging and marking of specific
          items may be developed locally as necessary.

     b.   The packaging, marking, labeling, and placarding regulations of
          the Department of Transportation applicable to all shippers, are
          contained in 49 CFR parts 171-179.  Noncompliance with these
          regulations carry both civil and criminal penalties.  Reporting
          requirements for hazardous material incidents are those listed on
          page II-13 paragraph 7d.

3.   PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTING PRECIOUS METALS.

     a.   Radioactive Precious Metals.  Radioactively contaminated precious
          metals will be shipped in full compliance with applicable
          regulations governing radioactive shipments.

     b.   Nonradioactive Precious Metals.  The following applies only to
          precious metal shipments which are not radioactively contaminated.

          (1)  Packaging.  Precious metals should be packaged in a strong,
               leak tight inner container and then placed with cushioning
               into an overpack such as a 3-, 5-, or 10-gallon metal can or
               suitable wooden box.  If the configuration of the material
               prohibits the use of the aforementioned packaging, then a
               suitable leak-tight substitution of strong fabrication may be
               used.  The overpack in all packaging configurations shall be
               banded or sealed in such a manner as to deter entry into the
               package.

          (2)  Modes of Transport.

               (a)  The following modes are approved for the transportation
                    of precious metals that do not exceed the value
                    limitations established in subparagraph (3)(a).

                    1    Signature Security Service - Federal Express or
                         other comparable carriers with similar security
                         service approved by the appropriate field element
                         transportation manager.

                    2    Registered Mail - return receipt.

               (b)  In the event that the packages exceed the size and
                    weight limitations that the modes described in
                    subparagraph (2)(a) are able to accommodate, or exceed
                    the value limitation provided in subparagraph (3)(a),
                    the following modes should be considered:

                    1    Existing DOE contract carriers.

                    2    Commercial security-type carriers (i.e., Brinks,
                         Wells Fargo).

                    3    Other specialized systems approved by the field
                         element transportation managers.

          (3)  Value of Shipments.

               (a)  Generally, shipments shall not exceed $50,000 (current
                    market value) per day for each carrier from each
                    Departmental facility.

               (b)  In the event an individual shipment or the total per day
                    shipments of a single carrier will exceed $50,000
                    (current market value), approval will be requested from
                    the appropriate field element transportation manager at
                    least 48 hours prior to the anticipated shipping date.

          (4)  Shipping Descriptions.  For the purpose of preparing bills of
               lading and air waybills, nonradioactive precious metals are
               to be classed as "METALS, NOT OTHERWISE INDEXED (NOI)."

          (5)  Insurance.  In accordance with the Federal Property
               Management Regulation 101-40.104, a value normally will not
               be declared nor insurance obtained other than that which
               normal freight charges would provide for the description
               appearing on the shipping document.  Full value will be
               declared when the shipment is made via modes approved under
               subparagraph (2)(b).

4.   LOADING METHODS AND TIEDOWN REQUIREMENTS.  Various methods may be used
     to meet the regulatory requirements for loading, blocking, bracing, and
     tiedown of the many types of freight.  The most successful programs are
     usually accomplished through close cooperation between shipper and
     carrier with close adherence to applicable carrier tariff requirements,
     Association of American Railroads loading rules, and the requirements
     of 49 CFR, part 393.

     a.   Responsibilities.  Commercial air carriers load, block, brace, or
          otherwise restrain freight which they transport.  Motor freight
          and rail carriers have the same responsibility for freight of a
          size which can be loaded by one man, otherwise the shipper will
          elevate and position the freight on or into the vehicle as
          directed by the carrier.  The shipper is responsible for loading,
          blocking, bracing, or otherwise restraining freight loaded on or
          in a railcar or motor vehicle if rates are predicated on
          "shipper's load and count."  However, for all modes when the
          freight consists of hazardous materials, it is incumbent upon the
          shipper to assure that such freight is loaded and restrained
          properly.

     b.   Acceptable Practices.  The following represents a composite of
          acceptable practices which should be applied to assure a
          successful program.

          (1)  Loading.

               (a)  The vehicle selected shall be appropriate for the
                    weight, concentration, and center of gravity of the
                    load.  This is a joint responsibility of the shipper and
                    carrier.

               (b)  Before a shipment is loaded upon a transport vehicle,
                    the shipper shall visually survey the equipment
                    externally to determine its general operating condition,
                    its capability to transport the shipment, the existence
                    of appropriate restraint devices in good condition, and
                    assure the estimated gross weight of the shipment does
                    not exceed the authorized carrying capacity of the
                    conveyance.

               (c)  Reasonable precautions such as wheel chocking shall be
                    taken to prevent motion of the conveyance during the
                    loading or unloading process.

               (d)  It is the shipper's responsibility to give the carrier
                    prior notification of overweight or overdimensional
                    shipments.  The carrier is responsible to ensure that
                    highway weight and clearance restrictions are met.

               (e)  The loading device used to load or unload a shipment
                    shall be appropriate for the dimensions and weight of
                    the package.  Loading devices which may possibly damage
                    any packages of a shipment shall not be used.

               (f)  Heavy containers not shipped on specially designed
                    vehicles shall have skids or load spreaders to maintain
                    load distribution within the area load-rating of the
                    vehicle, or to less than 500 pounds per square foot,
                    whichever is less.

               (g)  The shipment must be positioned on the conveyance in
                    such a way that the weight is equally distributed over
                    the width and length of the conveyance.  For rail and
                    motor freight shipments, the load should be positioned
                    as equally as possible among the vehicle's axles.  The
                    location of attachment points for tiedown members shall
                    be selected accordingly.  Proper placement of the load
                    on the vehicle to avoid exceeding maximum allowable axle
                    loadings is the responsibility of the carrier.

               (h)  The ends, side, or doors of conveyance shall not be
                    relied upon to prevent shifting of heavy loads unless
                    they are specifically designed for this purpose.

          (2)  Blocking and Bracing.  Packages shall be blocked and braced
               on or in the conveyance to prevent shifting or changing of
               position during normal transportation conditions, and to
               remain stable after the restraints are removed.  For motor
               freight, carriers and shippers shall observe the provision of
               49 CFR 393.104.

          (3)  Tiedown Assemblies.

               (a)  For motor freight, carriers and shippers shall observe
                    the provisions of 49 CFR 393.100-102 to restrain cargo.

               (b)  Elastic properties should be considered when selecting
                    material for use in a tiedown system.  For example, wire
                    rope is preferable over chain because it is more
                    flexible and better able to withstand the shocks of
                    transportation.

               (c)  Only tiedown materials with a strength rating (working
                    and/or ultimate) established and documented by the
                    manufacturer shall be used.  The following shall not be
                    used as components of a tiedown system:

                    1    Plastic or fiber rope.

                    2    Any material with unknown strength.

                    3    Any damaged material.

               (d)  The principal tiedown forces should be transmitted to
                    the vehicle frame and not to the wood or metal decking.

               (e)  The strength of the tiedown attachment points on the
                    conveyance should be greater than or equal to the
                    strength of the tiedowns themselves.  In the case when
                    the strength of the tiedowns exceeds or equals the
                    structural design limits of the conveyance itself, the
                    strength of the tiedown attachment points on the
                    conveyance is limited to the structural design strength
                    of the conveyance.

               (f)  Flexible tiedowns (wire rope, strap, chain, etc.) should
                    be free from contact with any other stationary objects
                    when taut to prevent chafing and damage during
                    transport.  Tiedown assemblies must be appropriately
                    preloaded and secured so that they will not become loose
                    during restraints are removed.  The base of the load
                    should be blocked in place.

               (g)  Engineered tiedowns, such as rigid clamping with bolts
                    and structural shapes, may be preferable over flexible
                    tiedowns for heavy weight, high center of gravity, or
                    high consequence packages.

               (h)  For domestic rail shipments, the carrier shall observe
                    the provisions of the Association of American Railroad
                    Circulars providing rules for the loading, blocking, and
                    bracing of freight.  Circulars are available for the
                    various types of rail cars in service.

               (i)  Exposure of the tiedown components to dirt, weather
                    extremes, water, or corrosives may reduce their
                    strength, so these conditions should be avoided if
                    possible.  Use caution to avoid kinking, crimping, or
                    splaying wire rope.  Repairs shall not be attempted on
                    wire rope, straps, or chains, unless a documented rating
                    of the strength can be established by test following the
                    repair.

               (j)  The load shall be inspected thoroughly by the shipper
                    and carrier prior to release of the shipment.  The
                    shipper should ensure that the carrier recognizes his or
                    her responsibility to check the tiedowns periodically
                    during transit, and tighten them as necessary.

5.   CARGO SECURITY.

     a.   General.  The various types of protective services may be found in
          carrier tariffs or negotiated as required under section 10721 of
          the Interstate Commerce Act.

     b.   Type of Services Available.  The following protective services
          generally may be obtained from common carriers:

          (1)  Airlines.

               (a)  Signature Service.  Some airlines provide
                    person-to-person tally and signature while a shipment is
                    in the custody of the airlines.

               (b)  DOE Armored Courier Service.  DOE shipment couriers
                    accompanying the cargo will be carried by some airlines
                    under conditions specified in their tariffs.

          (2)  Motor Carriers.

               (a)  Sealed Van Service.  This service provides for sealing
                    the transport van or closed truck at point of origin.

               (b)  Exclusive Use Vehicle.  The assigned vehicle is loaded
                    only by the consignor, and unloaded only by the
                    consignor or consignee.  Exclusive use also may include
                    sealed or locked van provisions.

               (c)  Signature Service.  Some motor freight carriers provide
                    person-to-person tally and signature while a shipment is
                    in their custody.

          (3)  Sealed Railroad Car Service.  This service provides for
               sealing of freight cars at point of origin with railroad or
               DOE seals.  It is also advisable to equip cars with special
               locking devIces to protect compartments from theft or
               pilferage.

          (4)  United States Mail.  Special protective services available,
               and instructions, are set forth in the DOE 1410 directive
               series, and in the United States Postal Service Regulations,
               39 CFR.

     c.   Security Requirements for Materials in Transit.

          (1)  The principal hazards to the security of materials in transit
               are espionage, sabotage, collusion, theft, damage, improper
               routing, and misdelivery.

          (2)  Shipments of classified materials, and unclassified special
               nuclear materials, must meet the applicable requirements of
               DOE 5632.1B and DOE 5632.2A.

          (3)  Shipments of high-value materials, not covered under DOE
               5632.1B and DOE 5632.2A, shall be made in a manner which will
               provide cargo security commensurate with their value.  These
               materials include items which have a high strategic,
               intrinsic, or operational value, and which must be delivered
               in a timely manner.  The packaging and transporting of
               precious metals shall be in compliance with page II-3,
               paragraph 3.

          (4)  Where practicable, the number of individual high-value items
               of cargo to be tendered for transportation should be reduced
               by consolidating individual packages into larger shipment
               units, giving due regard to nuclear criticality safety limits
               for radioactive materials.  The following are examples of
               acceptable methods of consolidation:

               (a)  Palletization and banding.

               (b)  Crating.

               (c)  Overpacking in freight container of a suitable size.

          (5)  Shippers shall ascertain, prior to shipment of high-value
               materials that the specified protective services can be
               provided continuously for the shipment until receipt by the
               consignee.

          (6)  Care should be taken to assure that classified information is
               not revealed on shipping documents or on labels on packages
               which are used pursuant to the Department of Transportation's
               Hazardous Materials Regulations.  Appropriate freight
               descriptions and procedures should be worked out with
               interested carriers which are commensurate with the sensitive
               nature of the shipment and which will afford an equitable
               return to the carrier for the services performed.  For
               shipments of precious metals, utilize instructions provided
               on page II-4, subparagraph 3b(4).

          (7)  Depending upon the strategic nature and value of the
               materials shipped, a communications plan, as appropriate,
               shall be noted on each bill of lading indicating emergency
               actions to be taken and include, as a minimum, who to notify
               in event of accident, loss or theft, or any unusual event
               threatening the security of the materials while in transit,
               and how this notification is to be accomplished.

     d.   Endorsement on Bills of Lading for Rail Shipments.  For shipments
          requiring escort personnel one bill of lading may be prepared for
          both the shipment and the transportation of the escort personnel.
          In such cases, the maximum number of escort personnel shall be
          shown and the following notation placed directly below the number:

               "Carriers will make collection by filing a single bill
               covering freight and service charges, for the carriage of up
               to (insert maximum number) attendants.

          This is not to preclude, where appropriate, the use of Government
          Transportation Requests (GTR), SF 119, in providing transportation
          of escort personnel.

     e.   Failure to Provide Protective Services.  When protective services
          specified by the shipper either are not provided or are inadequate
          or unsatisfactory, every effort should be made to resolve the
          matter by local negotiations between the carrier and the DOE
          office or DOE contractor noticing the deficiency.  If the latter,
          the concerned DOE office must be kept currently informed and
          should assist, upon request, in the negotiations with the carrier.
          If, in a particular instance, the remedial action by the carrier
          is not satisfactory to the responsible field element, the official
          will send a written summary of the case to EM-1 for appropriate
          handling.

     f.   General Cargo Security Advisory Standards.  The Department of
          Transportation has published several documents which provide
          general guidance in the field of cargo security:

          (1)  A comprehensive listing of cargo theft prevention measures
               intended to assist transportation management in developing an
               effective security system.

          (2)  Guidance and assistance for shippers and receivers in the
               development of a cargo security program.

          (3)  A partial inventory of available security equipment and
               systems, for application in the prevention of cargo theft.

6.   CUSTOMS CLEARANCE OF IMPORT SHIPMENTS.

     a.   Determination of Dutiable Status.  Articles imported into the
          United States are classified under the provisions of the Tariff
          Schedules of the United States as being duty free or subject to
          the payment of respective rates of duty.  Because of the numerous
          changes which have been and are being made in the schedules since
          the Tariff Act became effective, the United States Tariff
          Commission periodically issues, for the purpose of convenience and
          clarity, a publication entitled "Tariff Schedules of the United
          States Annotated," from which may be determined the current
          dutiable status of imported merchandise.  Copies may be obtained
          from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office,
          Washington, DC 20402.

     b.   Showing Description and Value on Customs Documents.  It should be
          recognized that commodity descriptions may be different on the
          shipping papers and the customs documents.  The description
          appearing on the shipping papers must comply with the carriers
          tariff provisions and other regulatory agencies, whereas the
          description appearing on the customs documents must comply with
          the Customs Tariff; otherwise, clearance may be delayed by the
          United States Customs Service.  The United States appraising
          officers are required by law to establish a value for imported
          goods.  The true purchase price (including terms of sale) shall be
          shown by the importer and, where possible, the current market
          value at the time of export from the country of exportation.  It
          is essential that a specific value be declared on all Departmental
          imports.  The importer is responsible for entering the merchandise
          at the appropriate value and is not bound by any information
          secured from the appraiser.

     c.   Imports with Security Interest.  When it is necessary for security
          reasons to conceal identity or prevent publication of import
          statistics covering commodities being entered, EM-1 in
          coordination with EH-1 will, upon request, make special
          arrangements with the United States Customs Service and Bureau of
          the Census.  In such cases, the request should include all
          available pertinent information, including commodity description,
          country of origin, date of departure from origin port, port of
          entry, and name of carriers.  Activities involving the United
          Kingdom Cooperation authorized pursuant to sections 144b and c of
          the Atomic Energy Act will be processed by the Deputy Assistant
          Secretary for Military Application.  Also see Public Law 95-242,
          "Import/Export of Nuclear Materials," when applicable.

     d.   Duty-Free Imports.  Government Agencies are eligible for duty-free
          entry of scientific instruments and apparatus.  U.S. Customs form
          DIB-338P, "Request for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments
          or Apparatus," available from the United States Customs Service,
          shall be used for the application of duty-free entry.  The
          application requires demonstration that there is no equivalent
          item manufactured in the United States of America.

7.   CHECKING VEHICLES AND PACKAGES FOR DAMAGE AND LEAKAGE.  Good practice
     dictates that packages of hazardous materials are inspected promptly
     upon receipt for damage or other evidence of possible leakages to
     assure that any potential public exposure to contamination will be
     identified and appropriate action can be taken.  Procedures developed
     for this purpose follow:

     a.   Early Pickup and Monitoring.

          (1)  The procedures in subparagraphs (2), (3), and (4), below, are
               not required for shipments consisting solely of packages
               which are not labeled with a Department of Transportation
               hazardous materials label or contain only special form
               radioactive materials.

          (2)  All shipments of hazardous materials received from carriers
               shall be inspected promptly and carefully for damage and
               leakage after they are delivered by the carrier, and, if
               practicable, before the delivery truck departs.  Where the
               DOE consignee is responsible for picking up the shipment from
               the carrier's terminal facility, the packages shall be picked
               up as expeditiously as possible, after notification by the
               carrier of its arrival and checked for leakage.

          (3)  Any package of hazardous material suspected to be damaged or
               leaking shall be checked for external surface contamination.
               If the package is contaminated externally, and, in the case
               of radioactive materials, above the "significant removable
               contamination" limits specified in 49 CFR, part 173.397, it
               will be assumed that the delivering vehicle and areas in
               which the package was loaded, unloaded, or stored are
               contaminated also.

          (4)  If it is known, assumed, or suspected that the delivering
               vehicle is contaminated, the delivering carrier and all
               intermediate carriers shall be notified immediately so that
               potentially contaminated vehicles can be withdrawn from
               service and checked.  Loading docks and terminals through
               which the package(s) passed in transit, along with other
               accompanying packages, also shall be surveyed.  Vehicles
               onsite should be detained by the DOE consignee until surveyed
               and decontaminated if necessary.  The carriers are
               responsible for arranging for contamination surveys on
               intransit docks and terminals.  Guidance for reporting
               occurrences is contained in DOE 5000.3A.

     b.   Hazardous Materials Contamination.  Monitoring and decontamination
          of a commercial carrier's vehicles, of the consignee's terminal
          facilities and any other accompanying packages contaminated by
          hazardous material during transportation, are the responsibilities
          of the carrier and the shipper as may be provided by special
          agreements between the carrier and the shipper.  The Department's
          consignee is responsible only for monitoring and decontamination
          at the consignee's facility, but these activities may include the
          carrier's vehicle, if necessary, for the protection of health and
          safety.  When radioactive material is involved, the carrier may
          request DOE radiological emergency advice and assistance in
          evaluating the possibility that other transportation vehicles,
          terminals, intermediate carriers, or places enroute may have been
          contaminated.  The DOE consignee may request or initiate
          radiological emergency assistance if there is a need to protect
          the public health and safety.

     c.   Emergency Response.

          (1)  DOE has a national radiological assistance plan for dealing
               with the unlikely event of a radioactive material release
               while in transit.  Under this plan, DOE will make available
               from its resources, radiological advice and assistance as
               appropriate to protect the public health and safety or to
               cope with radiological hazards.  DOE personnel will respond
               to requests from NRC licensees, Federal State, and local
               authorities and private persons or companies, including
               carriers.  Assistance can be obtained from one of eight DOE
               regional coordinating offices.  A list of these offices and
               their geographical areas of jurisdiction are shown in
               Attachment II-1.

          (2)  The chemical Industry also maintains a Chemical
               Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC), telephone
               800-424-9300, which is a clearinghouse for information and
               assistance on all types of chemical spills including
               radioactive.  When the material has radioactive properties,
               the Center activates the DOE regional coordinating office
               having jurisdiction.

          (3)  All DOE-owned shipments of radioactive and other hazardous
               materials, substances, and wastes will comply with the DOT
               requirements for Emergency Response Information cited in 49
               CFR, Subpart G, Sections 172.600-172.604.

     d.   Reporting Requirement.  Carriers are responsible for reporting
          hazardous materials leakages, or suspected radioactive
          contamination, to the DOT in accordance with Title 49, CFR, parts
          171.15, 171.16, and 171.17.  The DOE consignee is responsible for
          providing the carrier with information necessary to make that
          report.  DOE consignees will request a copy of the report from the
          carrier as a courtesy.  When the report is received by the
          consignee, copies are to be forwarded to EM-1.  DOE consignees are
          also required to report accidents and incidents involving DOE
          shipments to DOE Headquarters in accordance with DOE 5000.3A.
          Carrier personnel involved in a reportable accident are required
          to notify their own supervisory personnel.  Local police, fire, or
          other emergency officials are notified as necessary.  The
          carrier's procedures usually require that both the consignor and
          the consignee be notified.  When notified, DOE organizations or
          contractors should assist the carriers as much as possible.
          DOT/EPA has a 24-hour telephone for the mandatory reporting of
          hazardous materials Incidents, (800) 424-8802.  The EPA incident
          reporting requirements on hazardous substances, Title 40 CFR Part
          302.6, specify "the persons in charge of facilities" will initiate
          such reports.

8.   SHIPMENT NOTIFICATION POLICY.  It is the policy of the DOE, applicable
     to all contractor shippers, to provide advance written notification on
     all shipments of unclassified high-level radioactive waste and spent
     nuclear fuel to the designated representatives to the States through
     which any such shipments will pass.  For the purposes of this policy,
     the definitions of irradiated reactor fuel or "spent fuel" and
     "high-level radioactive waste" are those found in DOE 1540.4.

     a.   DOE Unclassified Spent Fuel.

          (1)  The notification must be in writing and sent by registered
               letter, return receipt, to the office of each appropriate
               Governor or Governor's designee.  A notification delivered by
               mail must be postmarked at least 7 days before transport of a
               shipment within or through the State.  A notification
               delivered by messenger must reach the office of the Governor
               or Governor's designee at least 4 days before transport of a
               shipment within or through the State.  A list of the mailing
               addresses of Governors or Governor's designees has been
               provided to the Manager of each DOE Field Office.  Updates of
               this list are to be published each year in the June 30 issue
               of the Federal Register.  Shippers unable to obtain the
               latest Federal Register listing locally should contact the
               Transportation Management Division (EM-561).

          (2)  The notification must include the following information:

               (a)  The name, address, and telephone number of the shipper,
                    carrier, and receiver.

               (b)  A description of the shipment as specified by the DOT in
                    49 CFR, Parts 172.202 and 172.203(d).

               (c)  A listing of the routes to be used within the State.

               (d)  The estimated date and time of departure from the point
                    of origin.

               (e)  The estimated date and time of entry into the Governor's
                    State.

               (f)  The estimated date and time of departure from the
                    Governor's State (in such cases where the destination is
                    not within the State).

               (g)  A statement that the information is required by DOE to
                    be protected against unauthorized disclosure.

          (3)  A DOE shipper shall notify, by telephone or other means, a
               responsible individual in the office of the Governor or the
               Governor's designee of any schedule change that differs by

9.   SHIPMENT CAMPAIGN PLANS.

     a.   For all Departmental shipments of highway route-controlled
          quantities of radioactive materials, or like quantities by rail or
          barge, a shipment plan will be submitted to EM-561 for all such
          shipping campaigns 45 days in advance of such shipments.

     b.   Single shipments without any expectation of follow-on shipments
          are exempt from this requirement.  Also exempt are all weapons and
          special nuclear material shipments transported in safe-secure
          trailers.

     c.   The shipping plan will include material type, shipping dates,
          estimated number of shipments, mode of transport, carrier proposed
          routes, package or cask description, and cargo security
          arrangements if required.  Should any of the shipping plan data be
          classified, submission of the plan should be in complete
          compliance with applicable Departmental directives on the
          transmission of such data.  Should only a portion of the plan be
          classified, those portions should be specifically identified.
