As stated in DOE 426.1, Department of Energy Federal Technical Capabilities, the TQP, in concert with existing DOE Human Capital and Line Management processes, supports DOE’s commitment to recruiting, deploying, developing, and retaining a technically competent workforce that will accomplish DOE missions in a safe and efficient manner. The Federal Technical Capabilities Panel (FTCP) provides support and strategic vision for implementation of the TQP and supports DOE Line Management in identifying and addressing department-wide issues that may adversely impact the objectives of this Order. DOE employees whose duties and responsibilities could affect the safe operation of defense nuclear and other high hazard facilities are required to participate in the DOE TQP.​
