Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands Area Planning Committee (APC)


 The primary role of the Area Planning Committee is to act as a planning body. Area Planning Committees are made up of experienced environmental/response representatives from federal, state, and local government agencies with definitive responsibilities for the area's environmental integrity. Each member is empowered by their own agency to make decisions on behalf of the agency and to commit the agency to carrying out roles and responsibilities as described in the plan. The predesignated Federal On Scene Coordinator (FOSC) for the area will serve as Chairman of the committee. He/She will designate the Vice-Chairman, select the committee members, and provide general direction and guidance for the committee. The FOSC should solicit the advice of the Caribbean Regional Response Team (CRRT) to determine appropriate representatives from federal and state agencies. The Area Committee is encouraged to solicit advice, guidance, or expertise from all appropriate sources and establish subcommittees, as necessary, to accomplish the preparedness and planning tasks. Subcommittee participants may include cleanup contractors, emergency response officials, Pilots Association, academia, environmental groups, consultants, response organizations, and concerned citizens. The FOSC will appoint the subcommittee members. The FOSC directs the development and maintenance of the Area Contingency Plan.
