plans would be used; and discusses the absence of a formal mechanism for
reconciling the overlaps, gaps, and perceived conflicts that potentially exist
among federal response plans.

Reconciliation Coordination Issues Between the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (1999) |
During a radiological emergency, the Federal Radiological Emergency Response
Plan (FRERP) and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP) apply simultaneously. Consequently, it is necessary to
reconcile the overlaps and perceived conflicts that potentially exist between
these two plans. This report recommends a mechanism that addresses: (1) the
perceived or potential conflicts between these two plans; (2) the solutions to
these perceived or potential conflicts; and (3) the methods for implementing
these solutions.
