  2. What is the National Strike Force? The National Strike Force (NSF) which includes the NSFCC, AST, GST & PST, provides rapidly deployable technical experts, specialized equipment, and incident management capabilities for Lead Agency Incident Commanders and FOSCs for their response and preparedness missions. As a vital component of the National Response System and homeland security mission, the NSF minimizes the adverse impact to public and the environment from oil discharges, hazardous materials releases, natural disasters and WMD incidents.

  3. National Strike Force Programs • Strike Team Support/Response/Operations Equipment/Training/Funding • Response Resource Inventory (RRI) Database OSRO Classification Program Preparedness Assessment Verification (PAV) Program • Preparedness Readiness Exercise Program (PREP) FSE (Gov’t Lead) SORS (16 WLBs) VOSS (6 OCONUS/3 Strike Team)

  4. Recent NSF Changes • Transition from Deployable Operations Group (DOG) to LANT AREA FY13 • Public Information Assistance Team (PIAT) to Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) FY13 • FORCECOM Center Of Expertise (COE) establishment FY14 • INCONUS VOSS Consolidation 2014-2016 • National Maintenance Contract (NMC) to SILC Civil Engineering Unit - Miami 2014 • CG HQ 721 CBRNE

  5. Response Resource Inventory (RRI) • Created by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. • OPA 90 mandated the creation of a national database of response resources that would be maintained by the National Strike Force Coordination Center (NSFCC). • Section 4202(2) - National Response Unit “(a) Shall compile and maintain a comprehensive computer list of spill removal resources, personnel, and equipment that is available worldwide and within the areas designated by the President pursuant to paragraph (4), which shall be available to Federal and State agencies and the public.”

  6. OSRO Classification Program • OSROs are classified based on “core equipment” that they either own or contract for. Core equipment includes: boom, estimated daily recovery capacity (EDRC), storage, support equipment (such as response vessels and response personnel), dispersant product, dispersant application platforms, and aerial oil tracking capabilities. • If the OSRO is classified by the Coast Guard, it means their capacity has been determined to equal or exceed the response capability needed by the plan holder for regulatory compliance (33 CFR 154.1035 and 155.1035). • If Industry utilizes a CG-Classified OSRO in their Facility/Vessel Response Plans, they are only required to list the name of the classified OSRO within their plans. • Group V Oils under discussions with CG and Industry

  9. Preparedness Assessment Verification (PAV) Visits • A Preparedness Assessment Verification (PAV) Visit is the NSFCC’s primary mechanism for assessing a region’s environmental emergency response capabilities. • Currently conducted on four-year cycle to Captain of the Port (COTP) Zones. High Volume Port and OCONUS Zones are conducted Annually - New York, New Orleans, Houston and LA/LB divided in to 1/2 each year . Alaska and Pacific Rim (Hawaii/Guam/American Samoa) divided into 1/3 each year. • A PAV Visit consists of the following: • Viewing of 100% of the equipment listed in the RRI that is provided to NSFCC for the OSRO Classification application. • Operate a minimum of 10% of the OSRO’s RRI-listed equipment (skimmers, pumps, trucks, etc). • Verify existence/currency of personnel training records, to include OSHA certificates (40-hr initial, 8-hr annual refresher) • Review equipment maintenance records, confirm that an equipment maintenance plan is in place.
