PROPOSED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES CONTROL Personnel and Organization Staff has completed an analysis of the requirements for chemical substances control. It was concluded that designation of a Program Manager would be the least costly and disruptive means for improving coordination among involved activities and would help to surface crucial issues. The Program Manager would have a small staff to assist in collection of data, preparation of reports, bulletins, liaison and other assigned functions (computer systems). Organizationally, an E&SES location was recommended. (Pig. 21) Jn view of budget Constraints, it has been agreed that the existing Com pliance and Liaison Department would perform the program management function. The Department Manager should be responsible for implementing control strategies and coordinating Company response to potential and promulgated toxic substance regulation. Initial assignments include revising Directive B-101 to clarify responsibilities and expand operations' role, assuring that Operating Components and Staffs issue facing documents to B101, establishing a financial measurement of the compliance effort, assuming development direction and control for the computer information system and implementing the workplan as directed. Although additional budget is not now requested, the transfer of a currently budgeted MR employe from Engineering Staff to ESES with the MATS computer development budget component has been mutually arranged. The ongoing responsibilities of the Compliance and Liaison Department Manager will be to coordinate the product/facility/manufacturing/health/ environment response of the Company to changing regulations. This will include comments to government agencies regarding proposed regulation, forecasting/ regulatory impact, direction and control of the information systems required, and compliance assurance. It is recommended that the Carcinogen in the Workplace Task Force be discontinued and that the Engineering and Research and the Manufacturing 8nd Supply Subcommittees name os a joint working group a Hazardous Substances Control Committee. This Committee should be composed of responsible executives from the areas shown on the facing page (Fig. 22). It is further recommended that the Committee be chaired by the E&SES representative. . 8001 1889 -13 - May 27, 1980 ppnrT Tppn pv pr*pr
