Third Degree Sample Clauses

Third Degree. Performance failures that reflect a lack of focus on ESH&Q or failures to comply with an approved ISMS that may result in a negative impact to the public, worker or environment. The following performance failures, or events of similar import, are examples of performance failures that are considered third degree: (i) Multiple similar non-compliances identified by external oversight (e.g., Federal) that in the aggregate indicate a significant programmatic breakdown. (ii) Non-compliances or adverse performance trends that either have or may have negative impact to the public, worker, or environment or that indicate a programmatic breakdown. (iii) Failure to notify the Contracting Officer upon discovery of events or conditions where notification is required by the terms and conditions of the Contract. (iv) Failure to report required data accurately and in a timely manner. (v) Failure to implement continuous improvement in ESH&Q performance through effective utilization of ISMS processes, including timely submittal of meaningful performance objectives, measurements and commitments.

Third Degree. Performance failures that have been determined, in accordance with applicable law, regulation, or DOE directive, to have actually resulted in, or that can reasonably be expected to result in, undue risk to the common defense and security, and/or jeopardizes protection of the facility or Site security interests. The following are examples of performance failures or performance failures of similar import that will be considered third degree: (i) Loss, theft, diversion, or unauthorized disclosure of information classified as Confidential. (ii) Negligent weapons and firearms-related incidents involving protective force operations/personnel (e.g., unauthorized weapons discharge, personal wounding). (iii) Evidence that SNM data has been manipulated or falsified. (iv) Inventory differences of Category IV SNM beyond alarm limits where there is no evidence that the difference is created by loss, theft, or diversion. (v) Loss, theft, or diversion of Category IV quantities of SNM that is due to a failure or inadequacy of performance by the contractor. (vi) Five (5) or more incidents that involve a potential compromise of classified information and/or unsecured classified repository, in any three (3) month period, of any type. (vii) Receipt of any topical area rating of Unsatisfactory on any DOE Safeguards and Security survey, audit, and/or inspection. (viii) Failure to implement corrective action(s) in response to any third degree performance failure. (ix) Non-compliant or adverse cyber security performance that indicates serious cyber security program degradation (e.g., negative mission impacts or compromise of sensitive information [Sensitive Unclassified Information, Personally Identifiable Information, Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information], etc.).

Third Degree. Performance failures that have been determined, in accordance with applicable law, regulation, or DOE directive, to have actually resulted in, or that can reasonably be expected to result in, undue risk to the common defense and security. In addition, this category includes performance failures that result from a lack of contractor management and/or employee attention to the proper safeguarding of Restricted Data and other classified information. These performance failures may be indicators of future, more severe performance failures and/or conditions, and if identified and corrected early would prevent serious incidents. The following are examples of performance failures or performance failures of similar import will be considered third degree: (i) Non-compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and DOE directives actually resulting in, or creating risk of, loss, compromise, or unauthorized disclosure of Restricted Data or other information classified as Confidential. (ii) Failure to promptly report alleged or suspected violations of laws, regulations, or directives pertaining to the safeguarding of Restricted Data or other classified information. (iii) Failure to identify or timely execute corrective actions to mitigate or eliminate identified vulnerabilities and reduce residual risk relating to the protection of Restricted Data or other classified information in accordance with the contractor's Safeguards and Security Plan or other security plan, as applicable. (iv) Contractor actions that result in performance failures which unto themselves pose minor risk, but when viewed in the aggregate indicate degradation in the integrity of the contractor's safeguards and security management system relating to the protection of Restricted Data and other classified information.

Third Degree. Performance failures that reflect a lack of focus on improving WS&H. They include failures to comply with approved WS&H aspects of an ISMS that result in potential breakdown of the contractor's WS&H system. The following performance failures or performance failures of similar import will be considered third degree: (i) Failure to implement effective corrective actions to address deficiencies/non-compliance documented through external (e.g., Federal) oversight and/or reported per DOE Order 232.1A requirements, or internal oversight of DOE O 440.1A requirements.
