NRC BACKGROUND :: Primary function of the
NRC is to serve as the sole national point
of contact for reporting all oil, chemical,
radiological, biological, and etiological
discharges into the environment.
In addition to gathering and distributing spill
data for OSCs and serving as the
communications and operations center for
the NRT, the NRC maintains agreements
with a variety of entities to make
notifications regarding incidents meeting
established trigger criteria.
The NRC also takes Terrorist/Suspicious Activity
Reports and Maritime Security Breach
Reports.
On behalf of DHS and the USCG, the NRC:
•	Briefs the White House, Office of
Homeland Security, Secretary of
Transportation, and Chiefs of Modal
Administrations regarding all significant
transportation emergencies;
•	Provides information the Coast Guard's
Office of Marine Safety, Security, and
Environmental Protection as needed;
•	Receives and relays reports of incidents
reportable under the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act;
•	Provides incident reports to various DOT
agencies;
•	and provides notification to DOT and NTSB
offices of transportation incidents that
meet certain criteria.
On behalf of other Agencies, the NRC
provides services to enhance the
Federal Response System:
USDA


•	For the EPA, the NRC receives incident
reports under the FRS which is supported
under CERCLA, CWA, CAA, EPCRA, and
OPA. The NRC disseminates reports of oil
discharges and chemical releases to the
FOSC;
•	For FEMA, the NRC acts as a 24 hour
contact point to receive earthquake,
flood, hurricane, and evacuation reports;
•	For the NucRC, and DOE, the NRC makes
notification of all incidents involving
radioactive material releases;
•	For DOI, the NRC receives reports of
incidents involving Trans-Alaskan Pipeline

•	For DOD, incidents involving
transportation emergencies with DOD
munitions or explosives are referred to
the Army Operations Center. Any incident
involving hypergolic rocket fuels and
oxidizers are passed to the Air Force
Operations Center.
•	The NRC takes reports on potential or
actual domestic terrorism and coordinates
notifications and response with the FBI;
•	For the DHHS, releases of etiological and
biological agents are referred to the CDC;
•	For the FRA, the NRC takes reports of
railroad incidents involving hazardous
materials, grade crossing fatalities, and
accidents resulting in injury or death of

•	The NRC is contact point for activation of
the NRT and provides facilities for the
NRT to use in coordinating a national
