1 Yes $0 $0 Agency Response Dated May 5, 2026: The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has updated Management Directive (MD) 14.2, Relocation Allowances. As part of this effort, OCFO staff collaborated with the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer to revise the relocation process for greater efficiency. OCFO will ensure that MD 14.2 fully incorporates these revisions and remains compliant with applicable federal guidance. In our correspondence dated November 18, 2025, we indicated that the update would be completed by March 31, 2026. However, the timeline was extended due to delays in the management concurrence process and is expected to be distributed for a review with a request for comments from the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer and the Office of the Inspector General.
This final review for concurrence should remediate the remaining recommendations issued by the OIG in OIG 22-A-05.
Estimated Completed Date: May 31, 2026.
OIG Analysis: The proposed actions meet the intent of the recommendation. The OIG will close the recommendation
once the NRC issues the updated agency guidance.
