Incident of National Significance 5
Incident of National Significance 5 : "The "Incident of National Significance" term utilized in the NRP caused significant confusion. Many readers understood that a declaration of an Incident of National Significance by the Secretary of Homeland Security was a requirement for the NRP to be invoked or Federal assistance or interagency incident management support to be provided. This was not true, but efforts to clarify the Incident of National Significance term were not completely successful. And since the actual declaration of an Incident of National Significance brought no new authorities to the incident response, the decision was made to eliminate the term. (DHS, NRF FAQs, Jan 08, 5)
