FRA Contractor Assurance System (CAS)
The FRA CAS is governed by Section H.13 of the FNAL prime contract, executed by the FRA Board of Directors and implemented throughout the FNAL organization. This system provides reasonable assurance that the objectives of the contractor management systems below are being accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the contract.
The Fermilab Assurance Council (AC) is a key element of the CAS. The members of the AC are Management System owners and/or major process owners. A major function of the AC is to identify and track issues that arise though an awareness of changes in the laboratory's operating environment, applicable laws and regulations, self-assessments and the various review processes of the laboratory. The AC executes this function through the FRA CAS Cycle, which defines AC oversight activities, meetings and processes leading to the annual Assurance Letter from the FRA Chairman of the Board to the DOE Contracting Officer.
