G.National Response Framework Version :27.10.4 <br /> National Response Team (NRT) <br /> National planning and coordination for oil spill response is the responsibility of the National <br /> Response Team (NRT). The NRT is responsible for evaluating methods for responding to oil <br /> spills and hazardous substances spills, and recommending changes to the National <br /> Contingency Plan. The NRT also develops procedures to coordinate activities for Federal, <br /> State and local governments, and private response organizations. <br /> The NRT consists of representatives from each of the agencies shown in Figure G.2. <br /> Normally, the NRT is chaired by the EPA representative while the USCG representative <br /> serves as the Vice-Chairman. If it is activated for spills within the coastal zone of the United <br /> States, the USCG representative will hold the Chair. <br /> The NRT can be activated when an oil spill exceeds the capability of the Regional Response <br /> Team in which it occurs, crosses national boundaries, or presents a significant threat to a <br /> population, national policy, property, or national resources; or when requested by any NRT <br /> member. <br /> Once activated, the NRT may: <br /> 1. Monitor the spill, evaluate reports from the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC), and <br /> recommend appropriate actions for abating the spill. <br /> 2. Request oil spill response resources from Federal, State and local governments or <br /> private agencies. <br /> 3. Coordinate the supply of equipment, personnel, or technical advice to the affected <br /> region from other regions or districts. <br /> 4. Since the NCP is a regulation subject to notice and comment requirements, <br /> modifications will require future rulemaking not available at this time. <br /> Shell Supply and Distribution G-4 Stockton Terminal FRP <br /> ©2019 Witt O' Brien's Revision Date:October, 2019 <br />
