SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, as the chair of the
National Response Team (NRT), is
announcing the availability of the NRT's
Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance
("one plan"). This guidance is intended
to be used by facilities to prepare
emergency response plans. The intent of
the NRT is to provide a mechanism for
consolidating multiple plans that
facilities may have prepared to comply
with various regulations into one
functional emergency response plan or
integrated contingency plan (ICP). This
notice contains the suggested ICP
outline as well as guidance on how to
develop an ICP and demonstrate
compliance with various regulatofy
requirements. The policies set out in
this notice are intended solely as
guidance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Review Findings
Section 112(r) (10) of the Clean Air Act
required the President to conduct a
review of federal release prevention,
mitigation, and response authorities.
The Presidential Review was delegated
to EPA, in coordination with agencies
and departments that are members of
the National Response Team (NRT). The
Presidential Review concluded that,
while achieving its statutory goals to
protect public safety and the
environment, the current system is
complex, confusing, and costiy. It
identified several key problem areas and
recommended a second phase to
address these issues. One of the issues
identified by the Presidential Review is
the multiple and overlapping federal
requirements for facility emergency
response plans.
NRT Policy Statement
This one-plan guidance is intended to
be used by facilities to prepare
emergency response plans for
responding to releases of oil arid non-
radiological hazardous substances. The
intent of NRT is to provide a mechanism
for consolidating multiple plans that
facilities may have prepared to comply
with various regulations into one
functional emergency response plan or
integrated contingency plan (ICP). A
number of statutes and regulations,
administered by several federal
agencies, include requirements for
emergency response planning. A
particular facility may be subject to one ,
or more of the following federal
regulations:
• EPA's Oil Pollution Prevention
Regulation (SPCC and Facility Response
Plan Requirements)—40 CFR part
112.7(d)andll2.20-.21;
• MMS's Facility Response Plan
Regulation—30 CFR part 254;
• RSPA's Pipeline Response Plan
Regulation—49 CFR part 194;
• USCG's Facility Response Plan
Regulation—33 CFR part 154, Subpart F;
• EPA's Risk Management Programs
Regulation—40 CFR part 68;
• OSHA's Emergency Action Plan
Regulation—29 CFR 1910.38(a);
• OSHA's Process Safety Standard—
29 CFR 1910.119;
• OSHA's HAZWOPER Regulation—
29 CFR 1910.120; and
• EPA's Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act Contingency Planning
Requirements—40 CFR part 264,
Subpart D, 40 CFR part 265, Subpart D,
and 40 CFR 279.52.
In addition, facilities may also be
subject to state emergency response
planning requirements that this
guidance does not specifically address.
Facilities are encouraged to coordinate
development of their ICP with relevant
state and local agencies to ensure
compliance with any'additional
regulatory requirements.
Individual agencies' planning
requirements and plan review
procedures are not changed by the
advent of the ICP format option. This
one-plan guidance has been developed
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
28643
to assist facilities in demonstrating
compliance with the existing federal
emergency response planning
requirements referenced above.
Although it does hot relieve facilities
from their current obligations, it has
been designed specifically to help meet
those obligations. Adherence to this
guidance is not required in order to
comply with federal regulatory
requirements. Facilities are free to
continue maintaining multiple plans to
demonstrate federal regulatory
compliance; however, the NRT believes
that an integrated plan prepared in .
i accordance with this guidance is a
preferable alternative.
The NRT realizes that many, existing
regulations pertaining to contingency
planning require review by a specific
agency to determine compliance with
applicable requirements. It is not the
intent of the NRT tp modify existing
agency review procedures or -to
supersede the requirements of a
regulation!
This one-plan guidance was
developed through a cooperative effort
among numerous NRT agencies, state
and local officials, and industry and
community representatives. The NRT
and the agencies responsible for
reviewing and approving federal
response plans to which the-ICP option
applies agree that integrated response
plans prepared in the format provided
in this guidance will be acceptable and
be the federally preferred method of
response planning. The NRT realizes
that alternate formats for integrating
multiple plans already exist and that
others likely will be developed. Certain
facilities may find those formats more
desirable than the one proposed here.
. The NRT believes that a single
' functional plan is preferable to multiple
plans regardless of the specific format
chosen. While they are acceptable, other
formats may not allow the same ease of
coordination with external plans. In any
case, whatever format a facility chooses,
no individual NRT agency will require .
an integrated response planning format.
differing from the ICP format described
here. The NRT anticipates that future
development of all federal regulations
addressing emergency response
planning will incorporate use of the ICP
guidance. Also, developers of state and
local requirements will be encouraged
to be consistent with this document
The ICP guidance does not change
existing regulatory requirements; rather,
it provides a format, for organizing and
presenting material currently required
by the regulations, Individual
regulations are often more detailed than
the ICP guidance. To ensure full
compliance, facilities should continue
to read and comply with all. of the
federal regulations that apply to them.
Furthermore, facilities submitting an
ICP (in whatever format) for agency or
department review'will need to provide
a cross:reference to existing regulatory
requirements so that plan reviewers can
verify compliance with these
requirements. The guidance contains a
series of matrices designed to assist
owners and operators in consolidating
various plans and documenting
compliance with federal regulatory
requirements. (See Attachments 2 and
3.) The matrices can be used as the basis
for developing a cross-reference to
various regulatory requirements.
This guidance also provides a useful
contingency planning template for
•owners and operators of facilities not
subject .to the federal regulations cited
previously.
Integrated Contingency Plan
Philosophy
. The ICP will minimize duplication in
the preparation and use of emergency
response plans at the same facility and
will improve economic efficiency for
both the regulated and regulating
communities. Facility expenditures for
the preparation, maintenance,
submission, and update of a single plan
should be much lower than for multiple
plans.
The use of a single emergency
response plan per facility will eliminate
confusion for facility first responders
who often must decide which of their
plans is applicable to a particular
emergency. The guidance is designed to
yield a highly functional document for
use in varied emergency situations
while providing a mechanism for
complying with multiple agency
requirements. Use of a single integrated
plan should also improve coordination
between facility response personnel and
local, state, and federal emergency
response personnel.
The adoption of a standard plan
format should facilitate integration of
plans within a facility, in the event that,
large facilities may need to prepare
separate plans for distinct operating
units. The ICP concept should also
allow coordination of facility plans with
plans that are maintained by local
emergency planning committees
(LEPCs),i Area Committees,2 co-
operatives, and mutual aid
organizations. In some cases, there are

coordinators tinder section 303 of the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.

Committees pursuant to section 4202(a)(6) of the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA).
specific regulatory requirements to
ensure that facility plans are consistent
with external planning efforts. Industry
use of this guidance along with active
participation on local and Area
Committees will improve the level of
emergency preparedness and is
therefore highly encouraged.
In some areas, it may be possible to
go beyond simple coordination of plans
and actually integrate certain
information from facility plans with
corresponding areas of external plans.
The adoption of a single, common ICP
outline such as the one proposed in this
guidance would facilitate a move
toward integration of facility plans with
local, state, and federal plans.
The projected results described above
will ultimately serve the mutual goal of
the response community to more
efficiently and effectively protect public
health, worker safety, the environment,
and property.
Scope
This one-plan guidance is provided
for any.facility subject to federal
contingency planning regulations and is
also recommended for use by other
facilities to improve emergency
preparedness through planning. In this •
context, the term "facility" is meant to
have a wide connotation and may
include, but is not limited to, any
mobile or fixed onshore or offshore
building, structure, installation,
equipment, pipe, or pipeline.
Facility hazards need to be addressed,
in a comprehensive and coordinated
manner. Accordingly, this guidance is
broadly constructed to allow for
facilities to address a wide range of risks
in a manner tailored to the specific
needs of the facility. This includes both
physical and chemical hazards
associated with events such as chemical
releases, oil spills, fires, explosions, and
natural disasters.
Organizational Concepts
The ICP format provided in this one-
plan guidance (See Attachment 1) is
organized into three main sections: an
introductory section, a core plan, and a
series of supporting annexes. It is
important to note that the elements
contained in these sections are not new
concepts, but accepted emergency
response activities that are currently
addressed in various forms in existing
contingency planning regulations. The
goal of the NRT is not to create new
planning requirements, but to provide a
mechanism to consolidate existing
concepts into a single functional plan
•structure. This approach would provide
a consistent basis for addressing
-------
28644
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 /Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
emergency response concerns as it gains
widespread use among facilities.
The introduction section of the plan
format is designed to provide facility
response personnel, outside responders,
and regulatory officials with basic
Information about the plan and the
entity it covers. It calls for a statement
of purpose and scope, a table of
contents, information on the current
revision date of the plan, general facility
information, and the key contact(s) for
plan development and maintenance.
This section should present the
information in a brief factual manner.
The structure of the sample core plan
and annexes in this guidance is based '
on the structure of the National
Interagency Incident Management
System (NIIMS) Incident Command
System flCS). NIIMS ICS is a nationally
recognized system currently in use by
numerous federal, state, and local
organizations (e.g., some Area
Committees under OPA). NIIMS ICS is
a type of response management system
that has been used successfully in a
variety of emergency situations,
including releases of oil or hazardous
substances. NIIMS ICS provides a
commonly understood framework that
allows for effective interaction among
response personnel. Organizing the ICP
along the lines of the NIIMS ICS will
allow the plan to dovetail with
established response management
practices, thus facilitating its ease of use
during an emergency.
The core plan is intended to contain
essential response guidance and
procedures. Annexes would contain
more detailed supporting information
on specific response management
functions. The core plan should contain '
frequent references to the response
critical annexes to direct response
personnel to parts of the ICP that
contain more detailed information on
the appropriate course of action for
responders to take during various stages
of a response. Facility planners need to
find the right balance between the
amount ofinformation contained in the
core plan versus the response critical
annexes (Annexes 1 through 3).
Information required to support
response actions at facilities with
multiple hazards will likely be
contained in the annexes. Planners at
facilities with fewer hazards may choose
to Include most if not all information in
the core plan. Other annexes (e.g.,
Annexes 4 through 8) are dedicated to
providing information that is non-
critical at the time of a response (e.g.,
cross-references to demonstrate
regulatory compliance and background
planning information). Consistent with
the goal of keeping the size of the ICP
as manageable as practicable, it is not
necessary for a plan holder to provide
its field responders with all the
compliance documentation (e.g.,
Annexes 4 through 8) that it submits to
regulatory agencies. Similarly, it may
not be necessary for a plan holder to
submit all annexes to every regulatory
agency for review.
Basic headings are consistent across
the core plan and annexes to facilitate
ease of use during an emergency. These
headings provide a comprehensive list
of elements to be addressed in the 'core
plan and response annexes and may not
be relevant to all facilities. Planners
should address those regulatory
elements that are applicable to their
particular facilities. Planners at facilities
with multiple hazards will need to
address most, if not all, elements
included in this guidance. Planners at
facilities with fewer hazards may not
need to address certain elements. If
planners choose to strictly adopt the ICP
outline contained in this guidance but
are not required by regulation to address
all elements of the outline, they may
simply indicate "not applicable" for
those items where no information is
provided. A more detailed discussion of
the core plan and supporting annexes
follows.
Core Plan
The core plan is intended to reflect
the essential steps necessary to initiate,
conduct, and terminate an emergency
response action: recognition,
notification, and initial response,
including assessment, mobilization, and
implementation. This section of the
plan should be concise and easy to
follow. A rule of thumb is that the core
plan should fit in the glovebox of a,
response vehicle. The core plan need
not detail all procedures necessary
under these phases of a response but
should provide information that is time
critical in the earliest stages of a
response and a framework to guide
responders through key steps necessary
to mount an effective response. The
response action section should be
convenient to use and understandable at
the appropriate skill level.
The NET recommends the use of
checklists or flowcharts wherever
possible to capture these steps in a
concise easy-to-understand manner. The
core plan should be constructed to
contain references to appropriate
sections of the supporting annexes for
more detailed guidance on specific
procedures. The NET anticipates that
for a large, complex facility with
multiple hazards the annexes will
contain a significant amount of
information on specific procedures to
follow. For a small facility with a
limited number of hazard scenarios, the
core plan may contain most if not all of
the information necessary to carry out
the response thus obviating the need for
more detailed annexes. The checklists,
depending on their size and complexity,
can be in either the core or the support
section.
The core plan should reflect a
hierarchy of emergency response levels.
A system of response levels is
commonly used in emergency planning
for classifying emergencies according to
seriousness and assigning an
appropriate standard response or series
of response actions to each level. Both
complex and simple industrial facilities
use a system of response levels for
rapidly assessing the seriousness of an
emergency and developing an
appropriate response. This process
allows response personnel to match the
emergency and its potential impacts
with appropriate resources and
personnel. The concept of response
levels should be considered in
developing checklists or flowcharts
designed to serve as the basis for the
core plan. Note that for those facilities
subject to planning requirements under
OPA, response levels in the core plan
may not necessarily correspond to
discharge planning amounts (e.g.,
average most probable discharge,
maximum most probable discharge, and
worst case discharge).
Facility owners and operators should
determine appropriate response levels
based on 1) the need to initiate time-
urgent response actions to minimize or
prevent unacceptable consequences to
the health and safety of workers, the
. public, or the environment; and 2) the
need to communicate critical
information concerning the emergency
to offsite authorities. The consideration
and development of response levels
should, to the extent practicable, be
consistent with similar efforts that may
have been taken by the LEPC, local Area
Committee, or mutual aid organization.
Response levels, which are used in
communications with offsite authorities,
should be fully coordinated and use
consistent terminology.
Annexes
The annexes are designed to provide
key supporting information for
conducting an emergency response
under the core plan as well as document
compliance with regulatory
requirements not addressed elsewhere
in the ICP. Annexes are not meant to
duplicate information that is already
contained in the core plan, but to
augment core plan information. The
annexes should relate to the basic
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 /Notices
.28645
headings of the core plan. To
accomplish this, the annexes should
contain sections on facility information,
notification, and a detailed description
of response procedures under the
response management system (i.e,
command, operations, planning,
logistics, and finance). The annexes
should also address issues related to
post accident investigation, incident
history, written follow-up reports,
training and exercises, plan critique and
modification process, prevention, and
regulatory compliance, as appropriate.
The ICP format contained in this
guidance is based on the .NIIMS ICS. If
facility owners or operators choose to
follow fundamental principles of the
" NIIMS ICS, then they may adopt NIIMS
ICS by reference rather than having to
describe the system in detail in the plan.
The owner or operator should identify'
where NIIMS ICS documentation is kept
. at the facility and how it will be
accessed if needed by the facility or
requested by the reviewing agency.
Regardless of the response management
system used, the plan should include an
organization chart, specific job : '
descriptions,3 a description of
information flow ensuring .liaison with
the on-scene coordinator (OSC), and a
description of how the selected
response management system integrates
with a Unified Command.4 If a system
other than NIIMS ICS is used, the plan
should also identify how it differs from
NIIMS or provide a detailed description
of the system used.
The NRT anticipates that the use of
linkages (i.e., references to other plans)
when developing annexes will serve
several purposes. Linkages will facilitate
integration with other emergency plans
within a facility (until such plans can be
fully incorporated into the ICP) and
3 OPA 90 planning requirements for marine
transfer facilities (33 CFR 154.1035) require job
descriptions for each spill management team
member regardless of the response management
system employed by the facility.
4 Under NIIMS ICS, the command module has
traditionally been represented by a single incident
commander (supported by a command" stafi) who
directs efforts of and receives input from the four:
supporting functional areas (planning, logistics,
operations, and finance). More recently, a Unified
' Command System as described in the National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan (NCP) found at 40 CFR part 300 has been used
for larger spill responses where the command
module is comprised of representatives from the
federal government (i.e:, federal on-scene
coordinator), state government (state on-scene
coordinator), and the responsible party working in
a cooperative manner. Unified Command allows all
parties who havejurisdictipnal or functional
responsibility for the incident to jointly develop a
common set of incident objectives and strategies:
Such coordination should be guided by procedures
found inthe NCP (seefigure la at 40 CFR - .
300.105(e)(l)) and the applicable Area Contingency
Plan.
with external plans, such as LEPC plans
arid Area Contingency Plans (ACPs).
Linkages will also help ensure that the
annexes do not become too
cumbersome. The use of references to
information contained in,external'plans
does not relieve facilities from
regulatory requirements to address
certain elements in a facility-specific
manner and to have information readily
accessible to responders. When
determining what information may be
linked by reference and what needs to
be contained in the ICP, response •:
planners should carefully consider the
time critical nature of the information.
If instructions or procedures will be
needed immediately during an incident
response, they should be presented for
ready access in the ICP. The following
information would not normally be
well-suited for reference to documents :
external to the ICP: core plan elements,
facility and locality information (to
allow-for quick reference by responders
on the layout of the facility and the
surrounding environment and
mitigating actions for the specific
hazard(s) present), notification
procedures, details of response
management personnel's duties, and
procedures for establishing the response
management system. Although linkages
provide the opportunity to utilize
information developed by other
organizations, facilities should note that
many LEPC plans and ACPs may hot
currently possess sufficient detail to be
of use in facility plans or the ICP. This
information may need to be developed
by the facility until detailed applicable
information from broader plans is
available.
In all cases, referenced materials must
be readily available to anticipated plan
users. Copies of documents that have
been incorporated by reference need not
be submitted unless it is required by
regulation. The appropriate sections of
referenced documents that are unique to
the facility, those that are not nationally
recognized, those that are required by -
regulation, and those that could not
reasonably be expected to be in the"
possession of the reviewing agency,
should be provided when the plan is •
submitted for review and/or"approval.
Discretion should be used when
submitting documents containing
proprietary data. It is, however,
necessary to identify in the ICP the
specific section of the document being
incorporated by reference, where the
document is kept, and how it will be
accessed if needed by the facility or
requested by the reviewing agency. In
addition, facility owners or operators
are reminded to take note of submission
requirements of specific regulations
when determining what materials to
provide an'agency for review as it may
. not be necessary to submitall parts of
an ICP to a particular agency.
As discussed previously, this
guidance contains a series of matrices
. designed to assist owners and operators
in the plan consolidation process and in
the process of ensuring and
documenting compliance with
regulatory requirements. The matrix in
Attachment 2 to this guidance displays
areas of current regulations that align
with the suggested elements contained
in this guidance document. When
addressing each element of the ICP ,
outline, plan drafters can refer to this
matrix to identify specific regulatory,
requirements related to that element.
The matrices in Attachment 3 to this
guidance display regulatory
requirements as contained in each of the
regulations listed in the NRT policy
statement above (which are applicable
to many facilities) along with an
indication of where in the suggested ICP
outline these requirements should be
addressed. If a facility chooses to follow
the ICP outline, these matrices can be
included as Annex 8 to a facility's ICP
to provide the necessary cross-reference
for plan reviewers to document
compliance with various regulatory
requirements. To the extent that a plan
deviates from the suggested ICP outline,
plan drafters will have to alter the
matrices to ensure that the location of
regulatory requirements within the ICP
is clearly identified for plan reviewers.
Integrated Contingency Plan Elements
Presented below is a list of elements
to be addressed in the ICP and a brief
explanation, displayed in italicized text,
of the nature of the information to be
contained in that section of the ICP.
Attachment 1 presents the complete
outline of the ICP without the
explanatory text. As discussed
previously, the elements are organized
into three main sections: plan
introduction, core plan, and response
annexes.
Section I—Plan Introduction Elements
1. Purpose and Scope of Plan Coverage
This section should provide a brief
overview of facility operations and
describe in general the physical area,
and nature of hazards or events to
which the plan is applicable. This brief
description will help plan users quickly
assess the relevancy of the plan to a
particular type of emergency in a given '
location. This section should also
include a list of which regulationfs) are
being addressed in
-------
28646
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
2, Table of Contents
Tltls section should clearly identify
the structure or the plan and include a
list of annexes. This will Facilitate rapid
use of the plan during an emergency.
3, Current Revision Date
This section should indicate the date
that the plan was last revised to provide
plan users with information on the
currency of UK plan. More detailed
information on plan update history (i.e.,
a record of amendments) may be
maintained in Annex 6 (Response
Critique and Plan Review and
Modification Process).
4. General Facility Identification
Information
a. Facility name
b. Owner/operator/agent (include
physical and mailing address and
phone number)
c. Physical address of the facility
(include county/parish/borough,
latitude/longitude, and directions)
d. Mailing address of the facility
(correspondence contact)
c. Other identifying information (e.g., ID
numbers, SIC Code, oil storage start-
up date)
f. Key contact (s) for plan development
and maintenance
g, Phone nurnber(s) for key contacts)
h. Facility phone number
i. Facility fax number
This section should contain a brief
profile of the facility and its key
personnel to facilitate rapid
identification of key administrative
information.
Section 11 • Core Plan Elements
I. Discovery
This section should address tlie initial
action the personfs) discovering an
incident will take to assess the problem
at hand and access tlie response system.
Recognition, basic assessment, source
control (as appropriate), and initial
notification of proper personnel should
be addressed in a manner that can be
easily understood by everybody in the
facility. The use of checklists or
flowcharts is highly recommended.
2. Initial Response
a. Procedures for internal and external
notifications (i.e., contact,
organization name, and phone
number of facility emergency
response coordinator, facility
response team personnel, federal,
state, and local, officials)
b. Establishment of a response
management system
c. Procedures for preliminary
assessment of the situation,
including an identification of
incident type, hazards involved,
magnitude of the problem, and
resources threatened
d. Procedures for establishment of
objectives and priorities for
response to the specific incident,
including:
(1) Immediate goals/tactical planning
(e.g., protection of workers and
public as priorities)
(2) Mitigating actions (e.g., discharge/
release control, containment, and
recovery, as appropriate)
(3) Identification of resources required
for response
e. Procedures for implementation of
tactical plan
f. Procedures for mobilization of
resources
This section should provide for . ,
activation of the response system
following discovery of the incident. It
should include an .established 24-hour
contact point (i.e., that person and
alternate who is called to set the
response in motion) and instructions for
that person on who to call and what
critical information to pass'. Plan
drafters should also consider the need
for bilingual notification. It is important
to note that different incident types
require that different parties be notified.
Appropriate federal, State, and local
notification requirements should be
reflected in this section of the ICP.
Detailed notification lists may be
included here or in Annex 2, depending
upon the variety of notification schemes
that a facility may need to implement.
For example, the release of an extremely
hazardous substance will require more
extensive notifications (i.e., to State
Emergency Response Commissions
(SERCs) andLEPCs) than a discharge of
oil. Even though no impacts or
awareness are anticipated outside the
site, immediate external notifications
are required for releases ofCERCLA and
EPCRA substances. Again, the use of
forms, such as flowcharts, checklists,
call-down lists, is recommended.
This section should instruct personnel
in the implementation of a response
management system for coordinating
the response effort. More detailed
information on specific components and
functions of the response management
system (e.g., detailed hazard
assessment, resource protection
strategies) may be provided in annexes
to the ICP.
This part of the plan should then
provide information on problem
assessment, establishment of objectives
and priorities, implementation of a
tactical plan, and mobilization of
resources. In establishing objectives and
priorities for response, facilities should
perform a hazard assessment using
resources such as Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs) or the Chemical Hazard
Response Information System (CHRIS)
manual. Hazardous Materials
Emergency Planning Guide (NRT-1),
developed by the NRT to assist
community personnel with emergency
response planning, provides guidance
on developing hazard analyses. If a
facility elects to provide detailed hazard
analysis information in a response
annex, then a reference to that annex
should be provided in this part of the
core plan.
Mitigating actions must be tailored to
the type of hazard present. For example,
containment might be applicable to an
oil spill (i.e., use of booming strategies)
but would not be relevant to a gas
release. The plan holder is encouraged
to develop checklists, flowcharts, and
brief descriptions of actions to be taken
to control different types of incidents.
Relevant questions to ask in developing
such materials include:
• What type of emergency is
occurring?
• What areas/resources have been or
will be affected?
• Do we need an exclusion zone?
• Is the source under, control?
• What type of response resources
are needed?
3. Sustained Actions
This section should address the
transition of a response from the initial
emergency stage to the sustained action
stage where more prolonged mitigation
and recovery actions progress under a
response management structure. The
NRT recognizes that most incidents are
able to be handled by a few individuals
without implementing an extensive
response management system. This
section of the core plan should be brief
and rely heavily on references to
specific annexes to the ICP.
4. Termination and Follow-Up Actions
This section should briefly address
the development of a mechanism to
ensure that the person in charge of
mitigating the incident can, in
coordination with the federal or state
OSC as necessary, terminate the '
response. In the case of spills, certain
regulations may become effective once
the "emergency" is declared over. The
section should describe how the orderly
demobilization of response resources
will occur. In addition, follow-up
actions associated with termination of a.
response (e.g., accident investigation,
response critique, 'plan review, written
follow-up reports) should also be
outlined in this section. Plan drafters ,
-------
Federal Register A Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
28647
may reference appropriate annexes to
the ICP in this section of the core plan.
Section III—Annexes .
Annex 1. Facility and Locality >
Information
* - i
a. Facility maps
b. Facility drawings •
c. Facility description/layout, including
identification of facility hazards
and vulnerable resources and
populations on and off the facility
which may be impacted by an
incident
This annex should provide detailed
information to responders an the layout.
of the facility and the surrounding
environment. The use of maps and
drawings to allow for quick reference is
preferable to detailed written
descriptions. These should contain
information critical to the response such
as the location of discharge sources,
emergency shut-off valves and response
equipment, and nearby environmentally
and economically sensitive resources
and human populations (e.g., nursing
homes, hospitals, schools). TheACP
and LEPC plan may provide specific
information on sensitive environments
and populations in the area. EPA
Regional Offices, Coast Guard Marine
Safety Offices, andLEPCs can provide
information on the status of efforts to
identify such resources. Plan holders
may need to provide additional detail
on sensitive areas near the facility, hi
addition, this annex should contain
other facility information that is critical •
to response and should complement but
not duplicate information contained in
part 4 ofthe plan introduction section
containing administrative information
on the facility. ,
Annex 2. Notification •
a. Internal notifications
b. Community notifications
c. Federal'and state agency notifications
This annex should detail the process
of making people aware of an incident
(i.e.; who to call, when the call must be
made, and what information/data to
provide on the incident). The incident
commander is responsible, for ensuring
that notifications are carried out in a •
timely manner but is not necessarily
responsible for making the notifications.
ACPs, Regional Contingency Plans .
(RCPs), and LEPC plans should be
consulted-and referenced as a source of
information on the roles and
responsibilities of external parties that
are to be contacted. This information is
important to help company responders
understand how external response
officials fit into the picture. Call-down
lists, must be readily accessible to ensure
rapid response. Notification lists '
provided in the core plan need not be
duplicated here but need to be
referenced. . - ' '
Annex 3. Response Management System
„ This annex should contain a general
description of the facility's response
management system as well as contain
specific information necessary to guide
or support the actions of each response
management function (i.e., Command,
operations, planning, logistics, and
finance) during a response. • •
a. General l
.:lf facility owners or operators choose
to follow the fundamental principles,of
NIIMS ICS (see discussion of annexes
above), then they may adopt NIIMS ICS
by reference rather than having to
describe the response management
system in detail in the plan. In this
section of Annex 3, planners should
briefly address either 1) basic areas
where their response management
system is at variance with NIIMS ICS or
2) how the facility's organization fits
into the NIIMS ICS structure. This may
be accomplished through a simple
organizational diagram.
If facility owners or operators choose
not to adopt the fundamental principles
of NIIMS ICS, this sectibn.should
describe in detail the structure of the
. facility response management system.
Regardless ofthe response management
system used, this section of the annex
should include the following
information:
• Organizational chart;
, • Specific job description for each
position;5
• A detailed description of
information now; and
• Description of the formation of a
'unified command within the response
management system. " '-
b. Command
(1) List facility Incident Commander
and Qualified Individual (if applicable)
by name and/or title and provide
information on their authorities and
duties.
This section of Annex 3 should
describe the command aspects ofthe
response management system that will
be used (i.e., reference NIIMS ICS or
detail the facih'ty's. response
management system). The tocationfs) of
predesig'nated command posts should
also be identified.
* OPA 90 planning requirements for marine
transfer facilities (33 CFR 154I1035) require job
descriptions for each .spill management team
member regardless of the response management
system employed by the facility.
(2) Information (i.e., internal and
external communications).
This section of Annex 3 should ,
address how the facility will
, disseminate information internally (i.e.,
to facility/response employees) and
externally (i.e., to the public). For
example, this section might .address how.
the facility would interact with local
officials to assist with public evacuation
and other needs. Items to consider in
developing this section include press
release statement forms, plans for
coordination with the news media,
community relations plan, needs of
special populations, and plans for
families of employees.
(3) Safety. ;
This section of Annex 3 should
include a process for ensuring the safety
of responders. Facilities should '
reference responsibilities of the safety
officer, federal/state requirements (e.g.,
HAZWOPER), and safety provisions of
the ACP. Procedures for protecting
facih'typersonnel should be addressed
(i.e., evacuation signals and routes,
sheltering in place).
(4) Liaison—Staff Mobilization:
This section of Annex 3 should
address the process by which the
internal and external emergency
response teams wUl interact 'Given that
'parallel mobilization maybe occurring
by various response groups, the process
of integration (i.e., unified command)
should be addressed. This includes a
process for communicating with 'local
emergency management especially
where safety of the general public is
concerned. . -
c. Operations
(1) Operational response objectives,
(2) Discharge or release control
(3) Assessment/monitoring
(4) Containment
(5) Recovery
(6) Decontamination >
(7) Non-responder medical needs,
including information on
ambulances and hospitals
(8) Salvage plans
This section of Annex 3 should
contain a discussion of specific
operational procedures to respond to an
incident. It is important to note that • ;
response operations are driven by the
type of incident. That is, a response to
an oil spill will differ markedly from a
response to a release of a toxic gas to
the air. Plan drafters should tailor
response procedures to the particular
hazards in place at the facility. A
facility with limited hazards may have
relatively few procedures. A larger more
complex facility with numerous hazards
is likely to have a series of procedures
-------
28648
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
designed to address the nuances
associated with each type of incident.
d Planning
(1) Hazard assessment, including
facility hazards identification,
vulnerability analysis, prioritization of
potential risks.
Tills section of Annex 3 should
present a detailed assessment of all
potential hazards present at the facility,
an analysis of vulnerable receptors (e.g.,
human populations, both workers and
the general public, environmentally
sensitive areas, and other facility-
specific concerns) and a discussion of
which risks deserve primary
consideration during an incident NRT-
J contains guidance on conducting a
hazard analysis. Also, ACPs andLEPC
plans may provide information on —
environmentally sensitive and
economically important areas, human
populations, and protection priorities.
Flan drafters sliould address the full
range of risks present at tlie facility. By
covering actions necessary to respond to
a range of incident types, plan holders
can be prepared for small, operational
discharges and large catastrophic
releases. One approach that is required
by certain regulations, such as the Clean
Air Act (CAA) and OP A is to develop
planning scenarios for certain types and
sizes of releases (Le,, worst case
discharge). Facilities may address such
planning scenarios and associated
calculations in this section of Annex 3
OF as part of a separate annex
depending on the size and complexity of
the facility.
g) Protection
This section of Annex 3 should
present a discussion of strategies for
protecting the vulnerable receptors
identified through the hazard analysis.
Primary consideration should be given
to minimizing those risks identified as a
high priority. Activities to be considered
in developing this section include:
population protection; protective
booming; dispersant use, in-situ
burning, bloremedlation; water intake
protection; \vildUfe recovery/
rehabilitation; natural remediation;
vapor suppression; and monitoring,
sampling, and modeling. ACPs "and
LEPC plans may contain much of this
information,
(3) Coordination with natural resource
trustees.
This section should address
coordination with government natural
resource trustees. In their role as
managers of and experts in natural
resources, trustees assist Uie federal
OSC in developing or selecting removal
actions to protect these resources. In
this role, they serve as part of the
response organization working for the
federal OSC. A key area to address is
interaction with facility response
personnel in protection of natural
resources.
Natural resource trustees are also
responsible to act on behalf of the
public to present a claim for and recover
damages to natural resources injured by
an oil spill or hazardous substance
release. The process followed by the
natural resource trustees, natural
resource damage assessment (NRDA),
generally involves some data collection
during emergency response. NRDA
regulations provide that the process
may be carried out in cooperation with
the responsible party. Thus, the facility
may wish to plan for how that
cooperation will occur, including
designation of personnel to work with
trustees in NRDA.
(4) Waste management.
This section should address '
procedures for the disposal of
con tarnina te d materials in accordance .
with federal, state, and local
requirements.
e. Logistics
(1) Medical needs of responders
(2) Site security
(3) Communications (internal and
external resources)
(4) Transportation (air, land, water)
(5) Personnel support (e.g., meals,
housing, equipment)
(6) Equipment maintenance and
support
This section of the Annex 3 should
address how the facility will provide for
the operational needs of response
operations in each of the areas listed
above. For example, the discussion of
personnel support should address issues
such as: volunteer training;
management; overnight
accommodations; meals; operational/
administrative spaces; and emergency
procedures. The NRT recognizes that
certain logistical considerations may hot
be applicable to small facilities with
limited hazards.
f. Finance/procurement/administration
(1) Resource list
(2) Personnel management
(3) Response equipment
(4) Support equipment
(5) Contracting
(6) Claims procedures
(7) Cost documentation
This section of Annex 3 should
address the acquisition of resources
(i. e., personnel and equipment) for the .
response and monitoring of incident-.
related costs. Lists of available
equipment in the local and regional
area and how to procure such
equipment as necessary should be
included. Information on previously
established agreements (e.g., contracts)
with organizations supplying personnel
and equipment (e.g., oil spill removal
organizations) also should be included.
This section should also address
methods to account for resources
expended and to process claims
resulting from the incident.
Annex 4. Incident Documentation
a. Post accident investigation
b. Incident history
This annex should describe the
company's procedures for conducting a
follow-up investigation of the cause of
the accident, including coordination
with federal, State, and local officials.
This annex should also contain an
accounting of incidents that have
occurred at the facility, including
information on cause, amount released,
resources impacted, injuries, response
actions, etc. This annex should also
include information that may be
required to prove that the facility met its
legal notification.requirements with
respect to a given incident, such as a
signed record of initial notifications and
certified copies of written follow-up
reports submitted after a response.
Annex 5. Training and Exercises/Drills
This annex should contain a
description of,the training and exercise
program conducted at the facility as
well as evidence (i.e., logs).thatrequired
training and exercises have been
conducted on a regular basis. Facilities
may follow appropriate training or
exercise guidelines (e.g., National
Preparedness for Response Exercise
Program Guidelines) as allowed under
the various regulatory requirements.
Annex 6. Response Critique and Plan
Review and Modification Process
This annex should describe
procedures for modifying the plan based
on periodic plan review or lessons
learned through an exercise or a
response to an actual incident.
Procedures to critique an actual or
simulated response should be a part of
this discussion. A list of plan
amendments (i.e., history of updates)
should also be contained in this annex.
Plan modification should be viewed as
a part of a facility's continuous
improvement process.
Annex 7. Prevention
Some federal regulations that
primarily address prevention of
accidents include elements that relate to
contingency planning (e.g., EPA's RMP,
and SPCC regulations and OSHA 's
Process Safety Standard). This annex is
designed to allow facilities to include
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / We'dnesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices
28649
prevention-based requirements (e.g.,
maintenance, testing, in-house
inspections, release detection, site
security, containment, fail safe
engineering) 'that are required in
contingency planning regulations or
that have the potential to impact
response activities covered in a
. contingency plan. The modular nature
of the suggested plan Outline provides
planners with necessary flexibility to
include prevention requirements in the'
ICP. This annex may not need to be
submitted to regula tory agencies for
review. '
Annex 8. Regulatory Compliance and
CrOss-Reference Matrices
This annex should include
information necessary for plan
reviewers to determine compliance with
specific regulatory requirements. To the
extent that plan drafters did not include
regulatory required elements in the
balance of the ICP, they should be
addressed in this annex. This annex
should also include signatory pages to
convey management approval and
certifications required by the
regulations, such as certification of
adequate response ^resources and/or
statements of regulatory applicability as
required by regulations under OP A
authority. Finally, this annex should
contain cross-references that indicate
where specific regulatory requirements
are addressed in the ICP for each
regulation covered under the plan. As
discussed previously, Attachment 3
contains a series of matrices designed to
fulfill this need in those instances where
plan drafters adhere to the outline
contained in this guidance.-
