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:
• 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 Oil;
• 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 railroad employees.
• The NRC is contact point for activation of the NRT and provides facilities for the NRT to use in coordinating a national response action when required.
