Through our national laboratories and distinctive range of program centers we discover, deliver, and manage the energy breakthroughs that keep the nation and its economy safe and secure through the 21st century and beyond.

OHA is the quasi-judicial arm of DOE for conducting hearings and issuing Departmental decisions with respect to adjudicative proceedings delegated to OHA by the Secretary. Currently, these principally include conducting hearings and issuing decisions regarding the eligibility of individuals to hold a security clearance or have access to nuclear facilities; adjudicating appeals of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and other determinations reached by DOE officials; conducting investigations and hearings, and issuing decisions regarding whistleblower complaints filed by contractor employees who allegedly suffer reprisal as a result of making a protected disclosure (e.g., public health and safety matters); ruling upon Applications for Exception/Exemption (e.g., granting regulatory relief from energy efficiency standards); and administering DOE's alternative dispute resolution (ADR) programs.
