  1. Balancing Homeland Security and Traditional NRS Roles/Work March 5, 2003 NRT-RRT Co-Chairs Meeting

  2. Rely on others (both CG & non-CG) to do 1st look at &/or respond to spills where that can be done effectively. • As personnel are avail, send less trained folks to spills, even not in their area of resp, as training oppty. • Create new HS cte for NRT, to free other committees to return to traditional work. • NRT should provide info on a regular basis to RRTs, RRTs should pass along to members between meetings.

  3. Plan balanced RRT meetings. • NRT should let RRTs know when they expect to be able to return to traditional work. • Focus on prevention • Ask Federal agency members if they can train their RPMs to serve as FOSCRs, or to fill preparedness roles. • Ask specific RRT to work issues, then send on to NRT for approval & sharing w/others.

  4. NRT could help coordinate development of procedures for what to do when biowatch program results in a positive hit. • RRTs should let NRT know when they have needs that aren’t being met. • Consider how NRS production process could be expedited.

  5. At RRTs, ask member agencies to take up preparedness work that would otherwise be done by CG or EPA. • Might OSHA’s”Phone & Fax” system be useful? • Turn over or contract out appropriate functions • Look at list of items from this meeting re. what RRTs need from NRT.
