a. Training. Training will continue to be conducted in accordance with existing program guidance,
except as noted below:
(1) ICS training will be in accordance with United States Coast Guard National Incident
Management System (NIMS) and National Response Plan (NRP) Implementation Plan, dated
29 December 2004.
(2) District and Area staff members identified for JFO staffing will require Area Command
JFO training (formerly known as RIC/NIC; currently being updated to reflect NRP/NIMS).
DHS- and FEMA-provided training for Area Command and JFO management is also
satisfactory.
b. Exercises. Exercises will continue to be conducted in accordance with existing program
guidance, except as noted below:
(1) SONS-specific elements will be exercised as part of the SONS exercise program but may be
incorporated into certain TOPOFF exercises. SONS exercises can occur on a biannual or

NMSP program (to be published).
5. FUNDING RESPONSE AND OPERATIONS UNDER NRP.
a. Funding Mechanisms. The NRP does not create any new funding sources. It does identify
procedures for agency funding and reimbursement in the Financial Management Support Annex
of the NRP. The primary emergency response funding mechanisms under the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund (OSLTF), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
(CERCLA)/SUPERFUND, and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act have not changed. Absent the use of these three funding mechanisms, agencies are expected
to support any NRP incident or operation from their own budgets.
b. Fund Management. Fund management for NRP incidents where the Coast Guard provides
personnel, equipment, or support shall follow existing policy as stated below. It is imperative
that Coast Guard operational commanders are familiar with the National Pollution Funds Center
(NPFC) User Reference Guide, Supplement to Coast Guard Marine Safety Manual Vol. 9,
COMDTINST 16000.14.
