Section 741-060-0040 - Monitoring Requirement for Plans

(a) The SSOA will approve, oversee and enforce the implementation of and compliance with the PTASP.

(b) At least once every three years, either at one time or over a three year period, the SSOA or its contractor shall conduct an audit of the implementation of each RTA's PTASP to verify compliance with, implementation of, and evaluate the effectiveness of, the plan.

(c) Following each on-site audit, the SSOA or its contractor shall prepare a written report of its findings and recommendations, and the need, if any, for updating or revising the PTASP. If the report identifies deficiencies for which a corrective action plan (CAP) is required, the RTA shall submit a CAP to the SSOA within 30 days after receiving the report, or within a different time period if specified by the SSOA. The CAP must comply with the requirements in OAR 741-060-0072.

(d) The SSOA has primary responsibility for the investigation of any allegation of noncompliance with the PTASP. These responsibilities do not preclude the FTA administrator from exercising his or her authority under 49 U.S.C. 5329 or 49 U.S.C. 5330.

(a) If the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan is a stand-alone document, the SSOA may review the operation of each RTA to determine whether the RTA's actual emergency management practices comply with the Plan. If the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan is part of the PTASP, it will be reviewed with the rest of the PTASP.

(b) At least once every three years, the SSOA or its contractor shall conduct an on-site audit of the implementation of each RTA's Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan to verify compliance with, and evaluate the effectiveness of, the Plan.

(c) Following each on-site review, the SSOA or its contractor shall prepare a written report of its findings and recommendations, and the need, if any, for updating or revising the Plan. If the report identifies deficiencies for which a CAP is required, the RTA shall submit a CAP to the SSOA within 30 days after receiving the report, or within a different time period if specified by the SSOA. The CAP must comply with the requirements in OAR 741-060-0072.
