Availability of Draft ‘‘Planning 

Guidance for Recovery Following 

Biological Incidents’’ 

AGENCIES: White House Office of 

Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Homeland Security Act 

of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296 Section 301) 

directs the U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security, in partnership with 

other federal agencies, to develop and 

implement countermeasures to prepare 

for and respond to chemical, biological, 

radiological and nuclear threats. The 

White House Office of Science and 

Technology Policy (OSTP), U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) are issuing a 

draft guidance document entitled 

‘‘Planning Guidance for Recovery 

Following Biological Incidents’’ for 

federal, state, local, and tribal decision 

makers who may find it useful in 

planning and responding to a biological 

incident. 

This draft Guidance describes a 

general risk management framework for 

government and nongovernmental 

decision-makers, at all levels, in 

planning and executing activities 

required for response and recovery from 

a biological incident in a domestic, 

civilian setting. The objective of this 

guidance is to provide federal, state, 

local, and tribal decision makers with 

uniform federal guidance to protect the 

public, emergency responders, and 

surrounding environments and to 

ensure that local and federal first 

responders can prepare for an incident 

involving biological contamination. 

This draft Guidance is not intended to 

impact site cleanups occurring under 

other statutory authorities such as EPA’s 

Superfund Program, or other federal and 

state clean-up programs. 

This draft guidance is provided for 

immediate use, and will be revised as 

needed based on comments received 

and changes in regulation and 

emergency response guidance. The draft 

guidance is available at: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. (Docket no. EPA– 

HQ–ORD–2009–0331). 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

November 16, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 

(Pub. L. 107–296, as amended) directs 

DHS, in partnership with other federal 

agencies, to develop and implement 

countermeasures to prepare for and 

respond to chemical, biological, 

radiological, and nuclear threats. 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive—10: Biodefense for the 21st 

Century describes the interagency 

activity required to meet this charge. 

This draft Planning Guidance was 

developed by the Biological 

Decontamination Standards Working 

Group (an interagency working group) 

of the White House National Science 

and Technology Council (NSTC) 

Subcommittee on Decontamination 

Standards and Technology (SDST). The 

SDST was tasked by the NSTC to 

develop risk management guidance for 

recovery from an incident involving 

biological contamination in a domestic, 

civilian setting. The interagency 

workgroup included participants from 

the Departments of Homeland Security, 

Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, 

Energy, Labor, Health and Human 

Services and Transportation and the 

Environmental Protection Agency. This 

draft guidance describes a general risk 

management framework for government
