• Abstract:
  This Instruction contains guidance for establishing an Incident Command System (ICS) Area Command Structure for a Spill of National Significance (SONS). Reference (a), the National Contingency Plan (NCP), assigns responsibilities for emergency preparedness and response to the fifteen federal agencies that comprise the nucleus of the National Response System (NRS). The NCP was revised as a result of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) to address the responsibilities for the U.S. Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a national level organization capable of responding to a SONS. The organization outlined in enclosure (1) describes this coastal zone response organization. This response management structure is based on the National Interagency Incident Management System (NIIMS) ICS and will provide the necessary strategic management and support to execute an effective response to a SONS in the coastal zone.
