National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) NA-125 Common Program Controls Plan, June 2025
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Stockpile Modernization (NA-125) follows a disciplined program controls system approach using EVM to reduce program risks and improve outcomes related to program execution and product delivery. The Common Program Controls Plan (CPCP) addresses applying the principles of EVM for implementation on modernization programs and uses a tailored implementation of the EIA-748 Standard for EVMS.
The CPCP identifies the NA-125 EVMS requirements for implementation by each applicable laboratory, plant, or site, and establishes requirements and formal procedures for planning, authorizing, reporting, analyzing, and controlling program work within technical, schedule, and cost constraints. The requirements in the document define a set of management practices. The NNSA expects each laboratory, plant, or site to follow their internal corporate EVM System Description procedures when implementing the requirements described in the CPCP. NNSA Federal Program Managers (FPMs) may tailor these requirements for their programs with concurrence from the NA-125 Assistant Deputy Administrator (ADA).
Each Federal Program Office (FPO) is required to perform monthly data integrity checks and quality assurance of submitted earned value and schedule data to ensure effective compliance with the CPCP EVMS reporting requirements. Anomalies and trends showing degradation of data integrity are summarized and communicated to the appropriate laboratory, plant, or site on regularly scheduled intervals, no more than quarterly, for corrective action when there are significant concerns as determined by the FPM. During program execution, representatives from the FPO may perform site visits or hold periodic teleconferences and meetings for selected areas of the EVMS and for quality assurance purposes, as required.
The CPCP discusses the EVMS reviews and assessments performed and describes the requirements for the five EIA-748 process areas of: 1) Organization, 2) Planning, Budgeting, and Scheduling, 3) Management Analysis and Reporting, 4) Accounting, 5) Baseline Revisions and Data Maintenance.
