Environment & Community Matters

D uring the months of April and May, EH&S staff participated in several events in the communi-ty. They participated an E-Waste recycling event, which was held here at CMSD. The event

brought in a grand total of 4,218 pounds. They also attended the Earth Day event at the San Diego County Administration building, which was held by the Industrial Environmental Association (IEA) where April McGinley accepted the “Pioneer Award” on behalf of CMSD. This award marks the accomplishments over the years to lessen CMSDs footprint on the environment. To quote April, “It’s great to know that Conti-nental Maritime of San Diego is dedicated to continual improvement and is reminded of great achieve-ments, like being the first zero discharge shipyard in the country. At CMSD, we are committed to keeping our community clean and safe, for both our neighbors and the wildlife of San Diego. As a member of the Industrial Environmental Association, we make environmental stewardship a top priority.” Paul and April even participated in the “Creek to Bay” cleanup event, which was put on by I Love A Clean San Diego. Check out some photos from these events.

New Benefit at CMSD (complies with new California labor law)

Continental Maritime of San Diego (CMSD) takes pride in providing superior benefits. The Vacation/PTO is one of the best in San Diego and provides time for illness and vacation. California’s new Healthy Workplaces/Healthy Families Act of 2014 – Paid Sick Leave will go into effect on July 1, 2015.

As of July 1st, California employees meeting specific guidelines will be given a minimum of 3 days (24 hours) paid sick leave for each year. CMSD’s Vacation/PTO policy already exceeds these requirements. However, Management has decided to give every qualified employee 3 days (24 hours) sick leave on July 1st and then on the 1st of every calendar year thereafter. It is not an accrual, does not carry over, nor will it be paid out. It is separate from the earned/accrued PTO. It will end on December 31st of every year. At the beginning of every January, employees will receive the 24 hours in accordance with CMSD’s Leaves of Absence Procedure.

We are in business to “Be the Best Partner in the Port” and that is regarding every aspect of business. It means partnering with our customers, vendors and employees. This is just one more way we can all work together.

For more information and a detailed description go to the “JKT” system and view Leaves of Absence HRP-007. If there is no computer access where you’re located, see your supervisor or HR for a copy.

“Tougher Than Steel” campaign by HII

Recently there have been some filming crews in in the yard including a couple of representatives from Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII). Did you know... they were here working on the “Tougher Than Steel” campaign? HII started this campaign last year with their staff and decided to expand it to all their subsidiaries. If you go to the HII website, you will be able to see all the video interviews they have done so far. The video interview for CMSD will appear mid-May. The person chosen to represent CMSD in the video was Roberto Perez of the Pipe Shop. You will also see a full-page ad in the Union Tribune. So, keep an eye out for the ad and keep checking the website for the interview. You never know, you might see yourself in the video.

Reminder from Accounting

ALL EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A DAILY BREAKDOWN OF

HOURS IN E-TIME

Know the requirements for proper time charging and procedures as explained in

Section 2.4 of BIMS ACW-401 Labor Charges.

Employees must record their time DAILY and accurately.

Employees must complete and submit their timecard by the end of their work week for their Man-

ager’s approval.

Production employees must verify and sign Production Control Daily Timesheets provided by their

Supervisor.

Supervisors must ensure their direct reports understand and follow the time reporting require-

ments.

When entering time, you are charging either “Direct” or “Indirect.” Another name

for “Indirect” is “Overhead.”

Direct charges are costs directly associated with a specific project or job on a Government con-

tract.

Indirect charges are costs not directly associated with a single Government contract.

Indirect charges may be grouped as “Allowable” or “Unallowable.”

Allowable costs can be charged to Government contracts if they are reasonable and necessary for

our business and permitted under the cost accounting regulations.

Unallowable costs cannot be distributed to Government contracts. Examples include costs asso-

ciated with lobbying, SHIPPAC events, advertising efforts, holiday parties, etc.

If you are not sure about how to charge your time properly, don’t guess.

ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR!

In reporting your time, you are certifying that it accurately reflects how your time was spent during the day.

Your reputation, as well as the Company’s, is on the line. Charge Your Time Correctly!!

Employee of the Month

M eet James Poulson. He start-ed at CMSD in 2004 as a

Helper in the Boiler shop. Now he is a Journeyman.

James’ career goal is to “continue to learn new things.” He says his family, friends and peers would describe him as “quiet and hardworking.” James’ mentor has been Earl Pheal.

James’ manager, Sam Nichols, believes that James’ biggest assets to the compa-ny are his “dependability and attention to detail.” When asked to describe

James in three (3) words Sam said, “Dependable, Efficient and Quality.” Out of the six (6) company val-ues, Sam feels James best represents “Performance.”

Sam will tell you that James has gone the extra mile while demonstrating his leadership skills by “assisting the foreman in oversight and managing personnel for repairs to the USS BOXER. He also as-sisted in training personnel in boiler repairs (handhole seat grinding, tube removals, brickwork repairs and refractory replacement). James also assisted in conducting repairs previously never conducted by the waterfront community (DFT manifold replacement).” Sam says, “James was basically the last man standing for repairs to boilers on the USS BOXER. He is always willing to conduct any repairs required to complete the job.”

In his spare time, James likes to read science fiction and fantasy books.

Way to go James! Keep up the good work.

Spotlight Employee of the Month

M eet Fermin Solorio Jr. Fermin is one of our Journeyman in the Boil-

er Shop. He joined the company in 2003.

CMSD is Fermin’s first job. His job consists of being a “brick layer and a mechanic. Fermin repairs boilers, distilling plants, coolers and other items.” A goal of Fermin’s would be to learn other trades and to excel in them all.

Fermin tells us “he likes to plan ahead on a job before he starts it.” He continues admitting that [he] “will also do whatever it takes to get the job done right.” Fermin feels he contrib-

utes to CMSDs values by “leading by example, showing and teaching what he knows about boilers, taking responsibility in all jobs and always being safe while working.”

Fermin says, “being recognized by the Navy for a job well done on the USS BOXER and USS ESSEX” makes him proud to do his job.

Sam Nichols, Fermin’s supervisor, tells us that Fermin’s biggest asset to the company is his “constant de-pendability.”

While working the USS ESSEX, Sam says Fermin demonstrated his leadership skills by “assisting in the oversight and management for the Boiler Shop personnel while working on replacing the Emergent Su-perheater tubes. This was done while under extreme scrutiny from the entire water front community.”

When asked to describe Fermin in three (3) words Sam said, “Dependable, Conscientious and Efficient.” Out of the six (6) company values, Sam feels Fermin best represents “Performance.”

When Fermin is not at work, he spends quality time with his wife and child. They always look for some-thing to do, like camping, going to the movies or rid-ing motorcycles.

Way to shine Fermin! Keep up the good work.

News from the IT Department

I n 2013, US Intelligence officials warned that cyber attacks have replaced terrorism as the top

threat to our county. Cyber attacks sponsored by foreign governments or certain groups have

been called the “Advanced Persistent Threat” or APT.

Advanced, because they use sophisticated, never before seen system exploits to take over com-

puters (that we call a “zero day” attack);

Persistent, in that the attackers do not go away, but keep sending waves of attacks to our compa-

ny hoping that one will succeed.

All they need is just one attack to succeed to quickly establish a foothold in the network. Their goal is

not to disrupt or deny services but to siphon information over time. Because CMSD is a defense con-

tractor, we are a prime target for APT. Every computer user is our IT Security team member. We rely

on your vigilance and sensible approach at using computer information resources.

What can you do to help: The primary means of attack begins with an email. This source makes up 91%

of cyber attacks. Be cautious when clicking links or attachments. Questions you should ask: is the

email from someone you know? Were you expecting the email? Is this email work related? Be careful

of what information you share when using social networks. Comply with information system policy and

rules of behavior. The following is a partial list of good behaviors:

1. Protect access to your workstation(s) when not in use by locking the system manually before

leaving the area. Never leave your unlocked workstation unattended.

2. Log off your workstation prior to leaving for the day.

3. Immediately report incidents or suspected incidents to Helpdesk.

4. Use company email and internet access for company business only .

5. Notify Helpdesk when access to the network, or to specific network resources, is no longer re-

quired.

6. Never share user account or passwords with anyone.

7. Return all data, information, files, drawings, designs, electronic models, and other electronic in-

formation (no matter how created or stored) in your possession or under you control belonging

to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Huntington Ingalls Industries Incorporated and their re-

spective affiliates, parents, successor, and assigns immediately upon termination of your employ-

ment.

8. Do not connect personal electronic devices to company workstation or network.

Clearance Process FAQs

What is a security clearance?

A security clearance is a determination by the United States Government that a person or company is eligi-

ble for access to classified information. The term “eligibility for access” means the same thing as security

clearance and appears in some Government record systems. There are two types of clearances: Personnel

Security Clearances (PCLs) and Facility Security Clearances (FCLs).

What are the security clearance levels?

Security clearances can be issued by many United States Government agencies, including the Department

of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy (DoE), the Department

of Justice, and the Central Intelligence Agency. DoD, which issues more than 80% of all clearances, and

most other agencies have three levels of security clearances:

Confidential

Secret

Top Secret

DoE primarily issues “L,” and “Q” Access Authorizations, which are roughly equivalent to Secret and Top

Secret clearances, respectively.

What are the steps to getting a Personnel Clearance (PCL)?

For DoD clearances a cleared contractor or Government agency identifies an employee with a need to have

access to classified information. Once identified, the contractor’s Facility Security Officer (FSO) or the

Government agency’s Security Officer (SO) submits an investigation request through the Joint Personnel

Adjudication System (JPAS) and ensures that the employee completes a clearance application in the Elec-

tronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP). The FSO or SO then reviews, approves, and

forwards the completed e-QIP to the DoDCAF for their approval, issuance of an interim clearance, and re-

lease to Office of Personnel Management (OPM). OPM conducts an investigation and sends the results of

the investigation to DoDCAF. DoDCAF either grants a clearance or issues a Letter of Intent to deny clear-

ance. Clearances for other federal agencies are processed in essentially the same manner, but can involve a

different Investigation Service Provider (ISP).

How is security clearance investigations carried out?

A National Agency Check (NAC), police record checks, and credit check are components of all clearance

investigations. When possible these are done centrally by an Investigation Service Provider (ISP), like

OPM. Some police record checks must be done locally by field investigators. For investigations requiring

other record checks, reference interviews, and/or a Subject Interview, tasking is sent from the ISP simulta-

neously to field investigators (either federal agents or contract investigators) in all locations involved. If the

investigation develops information that requires further action in another location, tasking is sent from the

investigator that developed the information to another field office. Investigative reports are electronically

10

News from Security (continued) submitted as the work is completed. When all reports have been received at the ISP, the case is reviewed

for completeness, and then forwarded to the appropriate Central Adjudication Facility (CAF).

What type of information is requested on a security clearance application?

The application form, Standard Form 86—SF86 (Questionnaire for National Security Positions), requires

personal identifying data, as well as information regarding citizenship, residence, education, and employ-

ment history; family and associates; and foreign connections/travel. Additionally, it asks for information

about criminal records, illegal drug involvement, financial delinquencies, mental health counseling, alco-

hol-related incidents and counseling, military service, prior clearances and investigations, civil court ac-

tions, misuse of computer systems, and subversive activities. The number of years of information required

on the form varies from question to question—many require 7 years, some require 10 years, and others are

not limited to any period of time.

How long does a clearance remain in effect?

Generally as long as cleared individuals remain employed by a cleared contractor or government agency

and are reasonably expected to require access to classified information, their personnel security clearance

will remain in effect, provided they comply with Periodic Reinvestigation requirements.

What do the terms “active,” “current,” and “expired” mean?

People either have a clearance or they don’t have a clearance. The Personnel Security Investigation (PSI)

on which the clearance is based can be either “current” or “expired.” PSIs are current if they are not more

than five years old for a Top Secret clearance, 10 years old for a Secret clearance, or 15 years old for a

Confidential clearance. Generally, if the PSI is out-of-date (expired) or there has been a break-in-service of

two years or more, a person must be nominated for a new clearance, complete a new application, and un-

dergo a new PSI. People commonly use the terms “active,” “current,” and “expired” to mean:

Active—a clearance that has not been terminated.

Current—a terminated clearance that is still eligible for reinstatement.

Expired—a terminated clearance that is no longer eligible for reinstatement.

Can a clearance be reinstated after it has been terminated?

Yes. If a person previously had a clearance and the investigation is still current, the clearance can be rein-

stated by the agency that originally granted the clearance or it can be accepted and reciprocally granted by

a different agency, provided there hasn’t been a break-in-service of two years or more. This can be done

without the individual submitting a new SF86; however, for clearances involving special access authoriza-

tions a new SF86 can be required if there has been a break-in-access of more than 60 days or if a polygraph

examination is required.

What is an interim security clearance?

An interim clearance (also known as “interim eligibility”) is based on the completion of minimum investi-

gative requirements and granted on a temporary basis, pending the completion of the full investigative re-

quirements for the final clearance. Interim Secret clearances can be granted in a few days once the clear-

ance granting authority receives a properly completed SF86. Interim Top Secret clearances take one or two

months longer. Interim clearances can be “declined,” if unfavorable information is listed on the SF86. All

industrial applicants (defense contractor personnel) are considered for interim clearances. Interim clearanc-

es can be withdrawn at any time significant unfavorable information is developed during the investigation.

It is not possible to appeal the declination or withdrawal of an interim clearance, and the CAF is not re-

quired to provide a reason for the declination/withdrawal. Effective 1 August 2012 the term “declined”

11

was replaced by the term “Eligibility Pending,” which has the same effect as the declination of an interim

clearance.

With some exceptions an interim clearance permits a person to have access to classified material at all lev-

els of classification up to the level of the interim clearance granted. Interim Secret clearances are not suffi-

cient for access to special categories of classified information, such as COMSEC, Restricted Data, and

NATO. Interim Top Secret clearances are sufficient for access to most Top Secret information and to

COMSEC, NATO, and Restricted Data at the Secret and Confidential levels only.

Will my clearance be granted faster because I had a clearance three years ago?

No. A new application with need to be submitted and a completely new investigation will need to be con-

ducted and adjudicated.

Will my clearance be granted faster, if I have immediate family members who have clearances?

No.

What is JPAS (Joint Personnel Adjudication System)?

JPAS is the official personnel security clearance database management system for DoD, including Nation-

al Industrial Security Program (NISP) cleared contractors. This system is used for all types of personnel

clearance actions, including initiating requests for clearance investigations. JPAS is managed by the De-

fense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). For more information, visit the DMDC webs.

CMSD says farewell to USS Peleliu

O n April 23, 2015, CMSD concluded its production support for one of the Navy’s finest recently de-

commissioned warships, the Peleliu. As CMSD’s employees removed the vehicle ramp, disconnected

the last shore power cable and hauled in the last mooring line, a chapter in CMSD’s history has come to

a close. In fact, onboard the ship itself that day, no longer vibrant but still, there was a solemn eerie si-

lence of a ship without its soul, namely it’s decommissioning crew was notably felt by those onboard.

Upon last minute details to resolve on the day of the towing , CMSD employees graciously, orderly and

above all, safely disembarked the ship, and said farewell to an old friend. It was both fitting and a pleas-

ure for CMSD to say good bye this way. The ship is presently on its long journey to Hawaii.

Compliance Corner Work Compliance Plans (WCP) were implemented to ensure periodic reviews and compliance with Hun-

tington Ingalls Industries (Corporate) business practices, policies and internal controls. The WCP’s pro-

vide reasonable steps to communicate the Company’s standards and procedures in a practical manner.

Each work plan outlines the responsibilities, and includes a risk assessment and communication plan to

facilitate timely discovery of improper conduct.

There are a total of 38 Core Elements of the Work Compliance Plans. In the upcoming newsletters, Busi-

ness Management will be providing employees with a summary of the procedures that comply with each

of the required core elements.

Time Charging

Corporate Topical Manual F200, Cost Claim Guidelines

Assigned Responsibility/At-risk: All Departments

Summary

As a government contractor, CMSD is required to charge labor cost in accordance with distributed CAS,

GAAP, and specific contract terms. Accordingly, CMSD must ensure that time charged to Government

contracts is allowable, reasonable, and allocable and that proper controls over the labor processes are ef-

fective and consistently applied.

Responsibilities and Risk Assessment

There are several processes and reviews in place to detect and mitigate time charging issues.

Employees are expected to record their time accurately and to a valid charge number on a daily basis. To

ensure timely and accurate recording, distribution, and payment of labor costs, employees must adhere

to time charging procedures which require:

direct entry into the labor system at or near, the time when work is performed

work performed to be captured as direct, indirect, or unallowable

supervisors to validate hours and charges entered by employees

any changes or corrections to be properly authorized

Command media has been updated and will continue to be updated as processes are being developed to

mitigate risk associated with Time Charging. All Time Charging processes and procedures have been re-

viewed for compliance and applicability to government reporting standards.

Communication Plan

CMSD strives to mitigate the risk of time charging irregularities by having a strong internal control envi-

ronment, a robust ethics and business conduct program, formal time charging procedures, and mandato-

ry employee training.

In addition, CMSD monitors employees’ awareness and compliance with proper time charging require-

ments through routine floor checks. Instances of mischarges from (misconduct or falsification of time)

are reported through the appropriate channels, up to and including the employee’s manager, HR Busi-

ness Partner (salaried) or Labor Relations Supervisor (hourly), Ethics Committee, Government Compli-

ance Manager, and Legal Department.

VPP and ISO 14001

Voluntary Protection Program Benefits: Based on a cooperative relationship between management, labor and government, the Voluntary Protection Pro-

grams (VPP) promotes work place safety and health, requiring active employee involvement and management

commitment. The VPP process emphasizes the continual identification and elimination of hazards beyond U.S. Oc-

cupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Benefits of VPP Participation include but are not

limited to:

Injury and illness rates at VPP sites on average are 50 percent below industry norms.*

Fewer injuries and illnesses mean greater savings for employers as workers' compensation premium and other

costs plummet.

Increased morale, a feeling of ownership among employees and an improved relationship between labor and

management at the worksite.

Reduced compensation costs, absenteeism and insurance premiums along with increased productivity make

VPP sites more competitive.

Participants provide effective input into OSHA's standard setting process, with examples of proven ways to

protect workers in their industries.

VPP sites are dedicated to safety and health outreach, improving the health and wellbeing of their communi-

ties.

What is ISO 14001?

ISO 14001 is the international model that all of us at Continental Maritime of San Diego have incorporated in our

everyday tasks to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.

What Must an Organization do to have an Environmental Management System (EMS) that

meets the ISO 14001 standard? The ISO 14001 standard requires that an organization put in place and implement a series of practices and proce-

dures that, when taken together, result in an environmental management system. The major requirements of an

EMS under ISO 14001 include:

A policy statement which includes commitments to prevention of pollution, continual improvement of the

EMS leading to improvements in overall environmental performance, and compliance with all applicable

statutory and regulatory requirements.

Identification of all aspects of the community organization's activities, products, and services that could have

a significant impact on the environment, including those that are not regulated.

Setting performance objectives and targets for the management system which link back to the three commit-

ments established in the community or organization's policy (i.e. prevention of pollution, continual improve-

ment, and compliance).

Implementing the EMS to meet these objectives. This includes activities like training of employees, establish-

ing work instructions and practices, and establishing the actual metrics by which the objectives and targets

will be measured.

Establishing a program to periodically audit the operation of the EMS.

Checking and taking corrective and preventive actions when deviations from the EMS occur, including peri-

odically evaluating the organization's compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Undertaking periodic reviews of the EMS by top management to ensure its continuing performance and mak-

ing adjustments to it, as necessary.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s day

It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March

or May.

Buying flowers, cards, gifts, chocolate

and spa days are common gifts

Mother's Day in the United States is annually held on the sec-

ond Sunday of May. It celebrates motherhood and it is a time to ap-

preciate mothers and mother figures. Many people give gifts, to

their mother and mother figures, including grandmothers, great-

grandmothers, stepmothers, and foster mothers.

Today, “Dia de las Madres” is an unofficial holiday in Mexico

held each year on May 10th when it was first celebrated in Mexico.

To show affection and appreciation it is traditional to start the cele-

bration with the famous song "Las Mañanitas," either a cappella,

with the help of a mariachi or a contracted trio. Many families usu-

ally gather to celebrate this special day trying to spend as much

time as possible with mothers in order to honor them on their day.
