"The NRP supercedes the Federal Response Plan (FRP), United States Government Interagency Domestic Terrorism Concept of Operations Plan (CONPLAN), and the Initial National Response Plan (INRP). The NRP, as the core plan for national incident management, is linked to an array of incident or hazard-specific Federal contingency plans, such as National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) and Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) that are designed to implement the specific statutory authorities and responsibilities of various departments and agencies. These plans establish protocols for the management of hazard-specific contingencies and provide the vital mechanisms for managing thousands of incidents annually. The plans are fully incorporated as key components of the NRP when implemented for incidents of national significance". (DHS, National Response Plan (Draft #1), February 25, 2004, p. 2).
