Enclosure (2) to COMDTINST 16000.27
2. An ESF10 activation could be the result of a Stafford Act declaration, a terrorism
incident, or if warranted, complex oil or hazardous material releases that may or may
not be considered Incidents of National Significance. The NRP Oil and Hazardous
Material Annex addresses those oil and hazardous material Incidents of National
Significance that are managed through concurrent implementation of the NRP and the
NCP, but are not ESF10 activations. For any oil or hazardous substance release, the
NCP and its supporting plans will be utilized.
3. The most likely activations of this ESF would be for a natural disaster that has
significant oil and/or hazardous material contamination or a terrorism-involved
hazardous substance incident(s). In either case, if the response and recovery area is
within the Coast Guard FOSC area of responsibility, the Coast Guard must provide
leadership of this ESF. For incidents that impact both Coast Guard and EPA
jurisdictions, the EPA may lead this ESF and the Coast Guard will serve as deputy.
(g) ESF13 Public Safety and Security.
1. DHS and Department of Justice are the primary agencies for ESF13.
2. The USCG provides support within this ESF through its authorities under the Ports
and Waterways Safety Act (PWSA), Magnuson Act (50 U.S.C. 191), and Maritime
Transportation Safety Act (MTSA) of 2002 authorities and resources. This includes
coordination of local maritime security planning efforts, the application of various
port security plans, establishment of safety and security zones, and control of vessel
movement. The Coast Guard is also tasked to provide certain specialized rapid
response forces for maritime interdiction and law enforcement, detection of weapons
of mass destruction, commercial port protection and anti-sabotage, and other
maritime security activities. ESF13 will require District staffing to ensure mission
assignments are carried out expeditiously and that USCG operational activities are
monitored and relayed. Supplemental staffing with subject matter experts may also
be appropriate if specialized capabilities are required.
3. NRP COMPONENTS. The following text summarizes the content of certain NRP annexes.
a. Incident Annexes. The NRP Incident Annexes address contingency or hazard situations
requiring specialized incident-specific implementation of the NRP. The Annexes describe the
missions, policies, responsibilities, and coordination processes that govern the interaction of
public and private entities engaged in incident management and emergency response operations
across a spectrum of potential hazards. The Annexes are typically augmented by a variety of
supporting plans and operation supplements.
b. Support Annexes. The Support Annexes describe the framework through which Federal
departments and agencies; State, local, and tribal entities; the private sector; volunteer
organizations; and nongovernmental organizations, such as the American Red Cross, coordinate
and execute the common functional processes and administrative requirements necessary to
ensure efficient and effective incident management. The Support Annexes address procedural,
administrative, and financial elements required to support incident management.
