2. Rationale
The Center Engineering Technical Authority (TA) is required to maintain records for each project's compliance with NPR 7150.2 and records for requested and approved deviations and waivers for each project. This activity supports the Center-level TA's responsibility to monitor and control the use of procedural requirements. It provides appropriate reference material to support continuity in the event of a change in the delegated Center-level software TA. It also provides the software TA with sufficient current and historical knowledge to analyze compliance data and develop a consistent approach for interpreting the requirements of NPR 7150.2 across a number of Center projects.

Records maintained by the Engineering TA can also be used during Office of the Chief Engineer (OCE) appraisal activity (see SWE-129 ) for evaluating TA performance. |

3. Guidance
The requirement for the Engineering TA to keep records of compliance, deviations, and waivers supports project management, appraisal activities by the Office of the Chief Engineer (OCE), and provides a quantitative basis for evaluating the TA process. Enough detail regarding these records is kept to provide sufficient information for use and reference during the life cycle of the project, as well as for comparisons and lessons learned across projects. The minimum set of documentation includes the project's software compliance matrix, waiver/deviation request package, and the final disposition (approval/disapproval). Records are to be kept in a managed repository.
The waiver/deviation request contains:
- Project identification.
- Scope and duration of the requested waiver/deviation.
- Justification.
- Risk characterization.
- Identification of requirement(s) subject to waiver/deviation.
- Criticality.
- Mitigating factors.
...
The Center configuration management process is employed for the management of these records by the TA.

The Engineering TA considers that decisions on compliance, deviations, and waivers are likely to be among the more important decisions the TA can make on these types of requests by a Center or project. This type of information will be reviewed extensively in the event of a mishap or accident. The decisions are likely to receive greater review and evaluation by management and members of the public. See the lessons learned below for additional considerations. |
