National Response Framework
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document provides
notice of the availability of the final
National Response Framework (NRF)
which replaces the National Response
Plan (NRP) that was issued in February
2005 and finalizes the draft version of
the NRF which FEMA published for
public comment in September 2007.

The NRF builds on the NRP and, using
the comprehensive framework of the
National Incident Management System
(NIMS), serves as a guide to how the
nation conducts all-hazards incident
management.
DATES: FEMA issued the NRF on
January 22, 2008. The NRF is effective
March 22, 2008.
ADDRESSES: The NRF is available online
in the NRF Resource Center located at
https://www.fema.gov/NRF. The draft
and final NRF, all related Federal
Register Notices, and all public
comments received during the comment
period are available at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
FEMA–2007–0007. You may also view a
hard copy of the NRF at the Office of
Chief Counsel, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Room 835, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Tracy Haynes, Acting National
Response Framework Branch Chief,
Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 999 E Street, NW., Washington,
DC 20463, 202–646–4218.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Response Framework (NRF) is
applicable to all Federal departments
and agencies that may be requested to
provide assistance or conduct
operations in the context of actual or
potential disasters and includes
mechanisms for the coordination and
implementation of a wide variety of
incident management and emergency
assistance activities including Federal
support to State, local, and tribal
authorities; interaction with privatesector organizations; and the
coordinated, direct exercise of Federal
authorities, when appropriate.
By adopting the term ‘‘framework’’
within the title, the NRF is now more in
keeping with its intended purpose,
specifically, simplifying the language,
presentation and content; clarifying its
national focus; articulating the five
principles of response doctrine; and
methodically describing the who, what
and how of emergency preparedness
and response. The NRF explains the
common discipline and structures that
have been exercised and matured at the
local, State, and national levels over
time. It captures key lessons learned
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
particularly how the Federal
Government is organized to support
communities and States in catastrophic
incidents.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) received numerous
comments on the draft NRF, which
FEMA published for public comment in
September 2007. The final version
