UNITED STATES 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

WASHINGTON , D.C. 20555-0001 

The Honorable Trey Gowdy 

Chairman, Committee on Oversight 

and Government Reform 

United States House of Representatives 

Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

February 12, 2018 

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your 

December 8, 2017, letter requesting a list of guidance documents issued by the NRC since 

January 1, 2008. The NRC has a consolidated website1 where it posts links to the wide variety 

of documents issued by the agency, including the majority of its guidance documents. The NRC 

issues guidance in various forms, including as Regulatory Guides and NUREG Series 

publications. Please find enclosed the list of guidance documents that you requested. 

As an independent regulatory agency, portions of the sixth criterion listed in your letter 

do not apply to the NRC. However, we have identified whether the listed guidance documents 

were considered "major rules" under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We have also 

indicated when the NRC requested a major/non-major rule determination under the CRA and/or 

review under the Paperwork Reduction Act from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

within the Office of Management and Budget for the listed guidance documents. The NRC has 

also provided accession (or "ML") numbers for documents that are publicly available in the 

NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. 

I hope this information meets the Committee's needs. If you need anything additional, 

please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of 

Congressional Affairs, at 

a 

Enclosure: 

As stated

The Honorable Gary J. Palmer 

Chairman, Subcommittee on 

Intergovernmental Affairs 

February 12, 2018 

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 

United States House of Representatives 

Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your 

December 8, 2017, letter requesting a list of guidance documents issued by the NRC since 

January 1, 2008. The NRC has a consolidated website1 where it posts links to the wide variety 

of documents issued by the agency, including the majority of its guidance documents. The NRC 

issues guidance in various forms, including as Regulatory Guides and NUREG Series 

publications. Please find enclosed the list of guidance documents that you requested. 

As an independent regulatory agency, portions of the sixth criterion listed in your letter 

do not apply to the NRC. However, we have identified whether the listed guidance documents 

were considered "major rules" under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We have also 

indicated when the NRC requested a major/non-major rule determination under the CRA and/or 

review under the Paperwork Reduction Act from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

within the Office of Management and Budget for the listed guidance documents. The NRC has 

also provided accession (or "ML") numbers for documents that are publicly available in the 

NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. 

I hope this information meets the Committee's needs. If you need anything additional, 

please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of 

Congressional Affairs, at . 

Sincerely, 

~C--

Kristine L. Svinicki 

Enclosure: 

As stated

acceptable nuclear power plant 

license renewal AMPs should be 

informed, and enhanced when 

necessary, based on the ongoing 

review of both plant-specific and 

industry operating experience. 

Specifically, this LR-ISG revises 

the NRC staff’s acceptance criteria 

and review procedures to better 

address the ongoing review of 

operating experience within the 

SRP-LR. This LR-ISG also better 

aligns NUREG-1801, Revision 2, 

with the SRP-LR by incorporating 

the recommendation for ongoing 

review of operating experience into 

each of the program descriptions. 

This LR-ISG also provides a 

framework to ensure that license 

renewal applicants’ operating 

experience review activities will 

adequately address operating 

experience concerning age-related 

degradation and aging 

management during the term of the 

renewed license(s). 03/09/2012 NRR No 03/02/2012 03/19/2012

The Honorable Mark Meadows 

Chairman, Subcommittee on Government Operations 

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 

United States House of Representatives 

Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your 

December 8, 2017, letter requesting a list of guidance documents issued by the NRC since 

January 1, 2008. The NRC has a consolidated website1 where it posts links to the wide variety 

of documents issued by the agency, including the majority of its guidance documents. The NRC 

issues guidance in various forms, including as Regulatory Guides and NUREG Series 

publications. Please find enclosed the list of guidance documents that you requested. 

As an independent regulatory agency, portions of the sixth criterion listed in your letter 

do not apply to the NRC. However, we have identified whether the listed guidance documents 

were considered "major rules" under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We have also 

indicated when the NRC requested a major/non-major rule determination under the CRA and/or 

review under the Paperwork Reduction Act from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

within the Office of Management and Budget for the listed guidance documents. The NRC has 

also provided accession (or "ML") numbers for documents that are publicly available in the 

NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. 

I hope this information meets the Committee's needs. If you need anything additional, 

please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of 

Congressional Affairs, at 

Enclosure: 

As stated

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your 

December 8, 2017, letter requesting a list of guidance documents issued by the NRC since 

January 1, 2008. The NRC has a consolidated website1 where it posts links to the wide variety 

of documents issued by the agency, including the majority of its guidance documents. The NRC 

issues guidance in various forms, including as Regulatory Guides and NUREG Series 

publications. Please find enclosed the list of guidance documents that you requested. 

As an independent regulatory agency, portions of the sixth criterion listed in your letter 

do not apply to the NRC. However, we have identified whether the listed guidance documents 

were considered "major rules" under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We have also 

indicated when the NRC requested a major/non-major rule determination under the CRA and/or 

review under the Paperwork Reduction Act from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

within the Office of Management and Budget for the listed guidance documents. The NRC has 

also provided accession (or "ML") numbers for documents that are publicly available in the 

NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. 

I hope this information meets the Committee's needs. If you need anything additional, 

please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of 

Congressional Affairs, at . 

, 

Enclosure: 

As stated

NOTES

*OMB Memorandum M-99-13, 

“Guidance for Implementing the 

Congressional Review Act,” states: “If 

the rule is not subject to E.O. 12866 

review, you should contact your Desk 

Officer in OMB’s Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in 

accordance with your established 

practice.” In accordance with this 

guidance, the established practice is 

for the NRC to request a major/nonmajor determination for rules under 

the CRA, except for a limited set of

WASHINGTON , D.C. 20555-0001 

The Honorable Blake Farenthold 

Chairman, Subcommittee on the Interior, 

Energy, and Environment 

February 12, 2018 

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 

United States House of Representatives 

Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your 

December 8, 2017, letter requesting a list of guidance documents issued by the NRC since 

January 1, 2008. The NRC has a consolidated website1 where it posts links to the wide variety 

of documents issued by the agency, including the majority of its guidance documents. The NRC 

issues guidance in various forms, including as Regulatory Guides and NUREG Series 

publications. Please find enclosed the list of guidance documents that you requested. 

As an independent regulatory agency, portions of the sixth criterion listed in your letter 

do not apply to the NRC. However, we have identified whether the listed guidance documents 

were considered "major rules" under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We have also 

indicated when the NRC requested a major/non-major rule determination under the CRA and/or 

review under the Paperwork Reduction Act from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

within the Office of Management and Budget for the listed guidance documents. The NRC has 

also provided accession (or "ML") numbers for documents that are publicly available in the 

NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System. 

I hope this information meets the Committee's needs. If you need anything additional, 

please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of 

Congressional Affairs, at 

Sincerely, 

,-z..., «. •• ~ 

Kristine L. Svinicki

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

PURPOSE 

This plan, which is designed to serve as guidance, assigns responsibilities and describes how air 

carriers and Federal agencies should respond to an aviation accident involving a significant 

number of passenger fatalities and/or injuries. Organizations given authority or responsibility by 

legislation should develop procedures specific to their role. Supporting legislation is located in 

appendix A. 

IMPLEMENTATION 

This plan shall be executed in full or part by the Director, Office of Transportation Disaster 

Assistance (TDA), under the direction of the Chairman, National Transportation Safety Board 

(NTSB). 

1. The Director shall recommend to the Chairman activation of the plan or portions thereof. 

2. Federal agencies that have responsibilities under this plan shall maintain control of their 

resources while supporting the NTSB in accordance with the above references. (For 

purposes of this document, the terms “Federal agencies” and “Federal staff” include the 

American Red Cross.) 

3. The NTSB, through its communications center, will initiate notification of Federal 

agencies to activate planning and will coordinate with the air carrier an appropriate 

response based on the magnitude of the aviation accident. As factual information about 

the accident is confirmed, additional resources may be requested to support the overall 

family assistance response. Upon instruction by the Director, the NTSB communications 

center will notify any or all of the following operations centers: 

a. American Red Cross 

b. Department of State (DOS) 

c. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Secretary’s Operations 

 Center 

d. Federal Bureau of Investigation Operations Center (FBI–SIOC) 

e. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 

f. Department of Defense (DOD) 

g. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 

4. Under the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996, the NTSB serves as the 

coordinator for the integration of Federal government resources and the resources of 

other organizations to support efforts of local and State governments and the air carrier to 

meet the needs of aviation disaster victims and their families. Crisis intervention, victim 

identification and forensic services, communication with foreign governments, and 

translation services are among Federal government services available to help local 

authorities and the air carrier respond to a major aviation disaster. Local government 

emergency services should provide a representative from the Joint Family Support 
 - 5 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Operations Center (JFSOC) to participate in the local, air carrier, and Federal response. 

Details of the JFSOC are provided in appendix C. The layout of the JFSOC will depend 

on the facilities and rooms available near the disaster location. 

5. Local authorities maintain the same jurisdictional responsibilities in regard to the initial 

accident response, recovery, security, site cleanup, and medical examiner operations, and 

the NTSB leads the aviation accident investigation. If a criminal act is believed to have 

caused the accident, the FBI becomes the lead investigative agency and is supported by 

the NTSB. 

6. The air carrier has a fundamental responsibility to victims and their families affected by 

an aviation disaster. The air carrier is primarily responsible for family notification and all 

aspects of victim and family logistical support. The Aviation Disaster Family Assistance 

Act of 1996 (appendix A) and the Foreign Air Carrier Family Support Act (appendix A) 

place the air carrier, as well as other support organizations, in a collaborative relationship 

with families. 

7. All personnel involved in providing services to assist victims and their family members 

should be trained in crisis response and must demonstrate compassion, technical 

expertise, and professionalism. Personal information provided by family members and 

victims through discussions, interviews, counseling, or any other form of information 

exchange should remain confidential and shall not be used for future litigation purposes. 
 - 6 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

SCOPE 

This plan pertains to any domestic or foreign commercial aviation accidents occurring within the 

United States, its territories, possessions, and territorial seas. 

ASSUMPTIONS 

1. The Chairman of the NTSB will request Federal agencies to support the NTSB in 

accordance with the references included in appendix A. 

2. Pursuant to the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996, the NTSB has the 

primary Federal responsibility for facilitating victim recovery and identification. It is 

understood that the presiding medical examiner or coroner is legally responsible 

for victim recovery and identification. (It is noted that there are differences between a 

medical examiner and coroner. For the purposes of this document, the term “medical 

examiner” is used interchangeably with “coroner.”) To ensure adequate resources for 

medical examiners to accomplish their jurisdictional responsibilities, the NTSB 

coordinates the resources of various Federal agencies to effect victim recovery and 

identification. The NTSB supports the use of State and local mass fatality teams and 

other trained experience personnel under the direction of the medical examiner. 

 

3. For purposes of this document, the terms “family,” “family members,” “friends,” and 

“relatives” are used to refer to those people who have a relationship to a person involved 

in the accident. Although these terms have slightly different meanings, they are used 

interchangeably throughout the document. 

4. Large numbers of family members of those killed in the accident will travel to the city 

closest to the accident and will utilize the accommodations provided by the air carrier. 

Other family members will remain at their local residences. 

5. Most, if not all, families of those seriously injured will travel to where the injured are 

hospitalized; once the injured are released from the hospital, these family members and 

the injured will return home. 

6. Implementation of this plan assumes that the accident will occur in a geographical area 

where the resources described above are available. Air carriers operating equipment over 

remote areas (for instance, Alaska) should contact NTSB TDA about modifications 

needed for accident response in those locations. 
 - 7 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

GENERAL MISSION TASKS 

The family assistance mission tasks following an aviation accident are as follows: 

1. Notify family members of victims involved in the aviation accident based on manifest 

documents and other available information. 

2. Monitor search and recovery operations, and offer assistance as needed. 

3. Determine the status and location of injured victims. 

4. Obtain approval of the local medical examiner for Federal assistance (for instance, the 

Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team [DMORT]) to assist in the identification 

of fatalities and the notification of their families. 

5. Provide crisis intervention, logistical support, and services to victims and their family 

members. 

6. Provide daily briefings to families on the progress of recovery efforts, identification of 

victims, the investigation, and other areas of concern. 

7. Arrange for a memorial service, if desired by families. 

8. Provide for the return of personal effects. 

9. Maintain contact with victims and their families to provide continuous updates regarding 

the progress of the investigation and other related matters, both at the accident location 

and once the families have returned home. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

Seven Victim Support Tasks (VSTs) identify the response requirements assigned to participating 

organizations. The organizations responsible for each of the seven VSTs are as follows: 

 

VST 1–NTSB 

VST 2–Air Carrier 

VST 3– American Red Cross (Family Care and Mental Health) 

VST 4– DHHS/ASPR and DOD (Victim Identification Services)

VICTIM SUPPORT TASK 1–National Transportation Safety Board 

1. Coordinate Federal assistance and serve as a liaison between the air carrier and family 

members. 

2. Provide an NTSB toll-free number and e-mail address (www.assistance@ntsb.gov) to family 

members for obtaining information on the victim recovery and identification effort, accident 

investigation, and other concerns. This number will normally be provided to families during 

the final family briefing. The NTSB will coordinate with the air carrier to provide, through 

the air carrier’s family representatives, this contact information to families who do not travel 

to the accident city. 

3. Request a copy of the passenger manifest from the air carrier. 

4. Review with the air carrier the logistical needs of the families, giving special consideration to 

security, quality of hotel rooms and facilities, and privacy for family members. 

5. Integrate local and Federal government officials and air carrier staff to form a JFSOC to 

coordinate services and activities for families. 

6. Coordinate assistance efforts with local and State authorities, including the medical 

examiner, local/county/State law enforcement, emergency management agency, hospitals, 

and other emergency support personnel. 

7. Maintain communications with the air carrier to receive updates regarding the notification 

status of victims’ families. 

8. Conduct daily coordination meetings with the air carrier and local and Federal government 

representatives to review daily activities, resolve problems, and synchronize future family 

support operations and activities. See appendix D for an example of information required for 

the daily coordination meeting. 

9. Provide and coordinate family briefings both with families at the accident city and with 

families who remain at home. 

10. Discuss with the medical examiner the capabilities of his or her staff to conduct victim 

identification. Examine the capabilities of local/State mass fatality teams and procedures to 

use the team in the identification process. Discuss strategies for collecting antemortem 

information and other factors influencing victim identification. Discuss the use of DMORT 

and standard procedures DMORT uses that support NTSB efforts. 

11. Discuss with the medical examiner the subject of victim identification, in particular the use 

of DNA analysis. Explain that the NTSB typically coordinates with the Armed Forces DNA 

Identification Laboratory for DNA identification. 
 - 10 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

12. At the discretion of the NTSB Investigator in Charge (IIC), coordinate a visit to the accident 

site for family members. Planning for such a visit will begin only after the IIC agrees that 

such a visit will not impede the investigation and is believed to be safe for family members. 

13. Provide information releases to the media, in coordination with the NTSB Office of Public 

Affairs, pertaining to the types of Federal support available to assist family members. 

14. Maintain contact with family members to keep them informed about the victim recovery and 

identification effort, accident investigation, and other accident-related concerns. 

a. Approximately 6 to 8 months after the date of the accident, factual reports written by 

the NTSB investigators are made available in a public docket. Families should be 

informed prior to the factual report being made public that they may request a copy of 

the report from the NTSB. The report will be provided to them at no cost. 

 

b. If the NTSB decides a public hearing is necessary for the purpose of the investigation, 

families will be notified of the date, time, and location. Such a hearing is designed to 

gather additional facts from individuals selected to testify. Travel and lodging for the 

hearing is at the family’s expense. Families will be provided seating and copies of 

official exhibits discussed at the hearing. NTSB public hearings are broadcast via the 

Internet through the NTSB website at www.ntsb.gov. 

Vision 100 states the following: 

An assurance that, in the case of an acciden t in which the National 

Transportation Safety Board conducts a public hearing or

comparable proceeding at a location greater than 80 miles from the 

accident site, the air carrier will ensure that the proceeding is made 

available simultaneously by electro nic means at a lo cation open to 

the public at both the origin city and destination city of the air 

carrier’s flight if that city is located in the United States. [49 USC 

41113 (b) (18)] 

Based on the facts of the accident, location requirements will be reviewed on a 

case-by-case basis. 

c. Families will be informed of the date, time, and location of any Board meeting to be 

held at the NTSB, Washington, D.C., headquarters (travel will be at the families’ 

expense). At the meeting, the NTSB investigative staff will present to the Board a 

draft accident report for member discussion and approval. This report will document 

the NTSB’s findings, determination of the probable cause of the accident and 

recommendations to prevent future aviation disasters. Board meetings are broadcast 

via the Internet through the NTSB website (www.ntsb.gov). See VST 2 “Air 

Carrier”, number 30, and to the Vision 100 legislation [49 USC 41113 (b) (18)] for 

additional information. 
 - 11 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

15. If the accident is determined to be the result of a criminal act, the NTSB TDA staff may 

assist the FBI Office for Victim Assistance (OVA) in family assistance support. 

16. Consolidate and review After Action Reports (AARs) to resolve problem areas and update 

operating plans and procedures. 

VICTIM SUPPORT TASK 2–Air Carrier 

1. In addition to accident notification required by Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

830.5, notify the NTSB communications center immediately upon knowledge of an accident. 

The following information must be provided: 

• Place (or general vicinity) of accident, number of passengers and crew (based on 

preliminary departure information), and number of injuries and fatalities (if 

known). 

• Flight number, origination, connection points, final destination, demographics of 

passengers (if known), and whether the flight was domestic or international. 

• Name and telephone number of the person/persons in charge of the air carrier’s 

humanitarian response, passenger manifest reconciliation, and family notification 

process. 

• Name, telephone number, and location of the facility designated as the Family 

Assistance Center (FAC) and JFSOC. 

2. Provide the NTSB, upon request, the most current reconciled copy of the passenger manifest. 

Each copy should be numbered or annotated indicating the date and time so that it is 

distinguishable from previous copies. 

3. Provide a reliable publicized toll-free telephone number with sufficient capacity to handle the 

anticipated call volume. Although not required, consider providing teletypewriter (TTY) 

capability. 

4. When disseminating the toll-free number, ask the media to request that the toll-free number 

be used only by those who have reason to believe a family member or friend was a passenger 

on the accident flight. 

5. Emphasize in the media notice that, upon initial contact with the air carrier, family members 

will receive basic accident flight and point-of-contact information as the first steps of air 

carrier humanitarian support. 

6. Ask the media to reemphasize the name of the carrier(s) involved, the accident flight number, 

airport of origination, connection, and final destination. 

7. Provide the media with continuous updates on the progress of the notification process, such 

as providing the number of victims’ families notified as of a certain time and the number 
 - 12 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

remaining to be notified. This process will continue until all victims’ families have been 

notified. 

8. Modify your carrier’s normal “on-hold” messages during an accident to eliminate music, 

sales information, and similar non-accident related messages. 

9. Provide timely notification to family members of passengers. As required by AIR 21, at a 

family member’s request, inform the family if the passenger’s name appears on a preliminary 

manifest for the accident flight. Updated information on passengers will be provided to 

family members as it becomes available. (AIR 21 states the following: “...upon request of 

the family of a passenger, the air carrier will inform the family of whether the passenger’s 

name appeared on a preliminary passenger manifest for the flight involved in the accident.”) 

10. Provide notification to family members prior to releasing passenger names to the public. 

Give family members adequate time to notify other family members and friends prior to 

public release of the victim’s name. Although it may be necessary for some families to have 

more than one contact point with the air carrier, your carrier may request that families 

designate one primary contact point for purposes of sharing information. This will allow your 

carrier to use its personnel in a more efficient manner. The carrier is under no obligation to 

release the victim’s name if family members request otherwise. 

11. Inform family members at the time of notification or soon thereafter of American Red Cross 

family care and crisis assistance available at the FAC and after families return home. Relay 

requests for crisis assistance to the American Red Cross representative, who will coordinate 

on-scene or home area contacts for family members. For family members who do not travel 

to the accident location, the American Red Cross personnel on-scene can coordinate 

personnel at the family member’s location to provide assistance. 

12. Secure facilities at departure, arrival, and connecting airports for family members and friends 

who may be gathering. This facility is designed to allow family members to grieve in 

private, shielding them from the media and solicitors; it serves as a secure location where 

families can receive continuous updates regarding the reconciliation of the passenger 

manifest and other accident information. Be prepared to provide the necessary assistance to 

special needs populations per the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Arrange for one of 

your carrier’s employees or agents who has been trained in crisis response to meet privately 

with family members once they have arrived at the facility secured. Employees or agents 

should be prepared to inform family members that their loved ones were aboard a plane that 

crashed. 

13. Secure a facility to be used as the FAC. Factors to consider in selecting a facility are quality 

of rooms and size of facility, privacy for family members, ability to secure the facility, and 

proximity to the accident site and medical treatment facilities. See appendix B. 

14. Make provisions for a JFSOC to include space, communication, and logistical support for the 

local and Federal staff. Details of the JFSOC are provided in appendix C. 
 - 13 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

15. Provide logistical support to family members who desire to travel to the accident city (or to a 

hospital location) that includes, but is not limited to, transportation, lodging, meals, security, 

communications, and incidental expenditures. 

16. Assist family members as they travel to and from the city by informing flight crews and 

airport personnel about family members aboard particular flights. At departure, connecting, 

and arrival airports, family members should have air carrier personnel meet and assist them 

while on airport grounds. If necessary, seek assistance from other carriers with a larger 

presence at the airport. Assist family members as they depart the accident city and provide a 

contact person who will continue to be the air carrier’s interface with family members 

following their return to their residence. 

17. Provide a contact person to meet family members as they arrive and accompany them at the 

accident city. This person will be responsible for assisting the family while in the accident 

city and should continue to be the air carrier interface with the family until the family returns 

to their residence. At that time the air carrier may decide to designate a single contact person 

for all family members. This point of contact should be available through a toll-free phone 

number. 

18. Maintain daily contact with family members who do not travel to the accident city by 

providing a contact person from the air carrier until the on-site investigation has concluded. 

19. Designate an individual who will be the air carrier’s representative to the Director of NTSB 

TDA. This individual will travel to various locations, such as the accident site, morgue, 

JFSOC, and FAC with the Director of NTSB TDA. The designated individual should have 

the authority, or ready access to those who have sufficient authority, to make decisions on 

behalf of the air carrier. 

20. Establish an exclusive badge system to identify family members. In unique cases, the NTSB, 

in coordination with the air carrier, will decide on the specifications of the badging system. 

21. Participate and provide operational updates during daily coordination meetings to review 

daily activities, resolve problems, and synchronize future family support operations and 

activities at the FAC. This information is helpful in planning logistical support (such as 

meals, lodging, and transportation) and allows for an update of current and future support 

operations. The type of information typically discussed during the daily coordination 

meetings is located in appendix D. 

22. Make provisions for private areas within the hotel for medical examiner personnel and the 

DMORT FAC Team to collect antemortem information and DNA reference samples from 

families. Provide quiet space and communications for DMORT and medical examiner 

personnel to telephonically collect antemortem information from family members who are 

not at the FAC. Secure a sufficient number of rooms for DMORT/crisis counseling use. 

Based on NTSB experience, the number of rooms required ranges from 4 to 12, depending 

on the number of fatalities. 
 - 14 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

23. Be aware that crisis counseling and DMORT facilities are also used as venues to inform 

families when positive identification has been made. By having the medical examiner or 

DMORT team representative located within the FAC, transportation of victim’s remains and 

other logistical considerations can be better coordinated. Support requirements for planning 

purposes are in appendix C. 

24. Provide DOS representatives the necessary information regarding foreign passengers to 

facilitate interaction with appropriate foreign government embassies. 

25. Establish a liaison with the American Red Cross at each medical treatment facility to monitor 

the status of injured victims and to provide assistance to their families. 

26. Develop procedures for the handling of personal effects released by the NTSB or the FBI if 

the aviation disaster is declared a criminal act. Consider utilizing a third party that has 

experience in the return of personal effects associated with aviation disasters. As required by 

law, provisions will be made for unclaimed possessions to be retained for at least 18 months 

from the date of the accident. NTSB has developed guidelines for the on-scene search for 

personal effects. 

27. Consult with family members about any air carrier–sponsored monument, including any 

inscriptions. 

28. As required by the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996, provide reasonable 

reimbursement to the American Red Cross for the services provided to the family, air carrier, 

and supporting personnel. 

29. Provide the same support and treatment to families of non-revenue passengers or any other 

victim of the accident (for instance, ground fatalities) as is provided for revenue passengers. 

30. If the NTSB conducts a public hearing or comparable proceeding at a location more than 80 

miles from the accident site, ensure that a simultaneous transmission of the proceeding is 

available to family members at a location open to the public at both the origin city and 

destination city of the accident flight. 

31. In the event of an accident outside the United States, AIR 21 legislation requires “...in the 

event that the air carrier volunteers assistance to United States citizens within the United 

States with respect to an aircraft accident outside the United States involving major loss of 

life, the air carrier will consult with the Board and the Department of State on the provision 

of the assistance.” 

32. In the event the investigation determines the accident is the result of a criminal act, 

coordinate with the FBI OVA in arranging meetings with family members to explain their 

rights as victims of a Federal crime.

VICTIM SUPPORT TASK 3–American Red Cross–Family Care and 

Mental Health 

 

1. An American Red Cross Critical Response Team (CRT) is deployed from the American Red 

Cross National Headquarters Disaster Operations Center (DOC) and serves as the functional 

leadership of family care and crisis intervention during the aviation accident. The CRT will 

support the local American Red Cross response and manage any spontaneous volunteers. 

2. Assign a representative to the JFSOC to coordinate and address American Red Cross–related 

issues and family requests for assistance. 

3. Coordinate and manage the numerous organizations and personnel offering counseling, 

religious and other support services to the operation. Create a staff processing center, 

operated away from the FAC, to screen, monitor, and manage personnel (employee and 

volunteer staff). The staff processing center will also be responsible for developing an 

exclusive badge system for personnel, matching staff skills with organizational needs, 

assigning work schedules, briefing and debriefing of support staff, and planning for future 

activities. 

a. Qualified local resources should be integrated with American Red Cross 

personnel for crisis and grief counseling, food services, administrative assistance, 

and other support services to family members and support organizations. 

b. Crisis and grief counseling for family members who travel to the accident city 

should be coordinated with air carrier personnel. 

4. Employ an accounting system to accurately record cost data in specific cost categories for 

reimbursement by the air carrier. 

5. Assess the needs and available resources of other crisis support agencies, coordinate with 

them to ensure ongoing emotional support for workers during the operation, and provide exit 

interviews before departure. 

6. Establish a liaison with the air carrier at each supporting medical treatment facility to monitor 

the status of injured victims and to provide assistance to their families. 

7. Coordinate with the air carrier to establish areas in the FAC for families to grieve privately. 

8. If deemed necessary, deploy a Critical Response Childcare Team (CRC) to coordinate on-site 

childcare services for families who arrive with young children. Ensure the CRC Team is 

equipped with the necessary supplies to operate a childcare center along with specially 

trained staff qualified to attend to children in the aftermath of a traumatic disaster. 

9. If deemed necessary, deploy a Spiritual Care Response Team (SRT) to coordinate on-site 

spiritual care. The SRT is trained to provide spiritual care to an array of faiths and will 

manage spiritual care for the victims and their families. If desired by the families, the SRT 

will coordinate the planning for a suitable interfaith memorial service within the first few 

days following the accident. The SRT deploys an events manager to begin planning the 
 - 16 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

memorial service upon a request from the family members. The American Red Cross Events 

Manager will work closely with the NTSB, the air carrier, and local, county, and State 

governments to plan a suitable memorial site. The American Red Cross will also deploy a 

Life Safety and Asset Protection manager to the JFSOC to manage safety and security 

concerns related to the memorial. 

10. If deemed necessary, arrange a memorial service for any future burial of unidentified 

remains. 

11. Provide families, at their request, with referrals to mental health professionals and support 

groups in the family member’s local area. 

12. Provide additional support to affected special needs or other demographically or culturally 

diverse populations as deemed necessary.

4. Follow the “DMORT Standard Operating Procedures for National Transportation Safety 

Board Activations.” 

5. Provide, if necessary, a morgue facility, a DMORT Portable Morgue Unit (DPMU), and the 

necessary equipment and supplies to augment the local medical examiner’s capabilities. 

6. Monitor the status of all incoming antemortem records to include dental, medical, and DNA 

data to ensure that all records have been received. If not, take steps to obtain the records and 

radiographs. 

7. Employ a standard antemortem questionnaire and disposition of remains form that can be 

adapted to meet local medical examiner and State requirements. The disposition of remains 

form will be used to obtain directions from the lawfully authorized next of kin (NOK) 

regarding what he or he desires the medical examiner to do with remains that may later be 

identified as those of his or her family member. Information collected from family members 

is strictly confidential and is ultimately under the control of the medical examiner. 
 - 17 -

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS 

1. The point of contact for this plan is the Director, Transportation Disaster Assistance, NTSB. 

The telephone number is (202) 314-6185. The office fax number is (202) 314-6638. The 

backup fax number is 202-314-6293. The e-mail address is assistance@ntsb.gov. 

2. Upon implementation and until NTSB TDA staff is present at the JFSOC, calls should be 

directed to the NTSB communications center. The Communications center will pass any 

information or messages to the appropriate NTSB TDA staff member. 

3. Supporting agencies should appoint the same individual or individuals to the JFSOC for each 

aviation accident. The focused efforts of a group of experienced personnel who understand 

the complex issues of an aviation disaster response will lead to improved delivery of services 

to victims and their families. Agencies are not precluded from designating and training 

alternate personnel as long as inexperienced personnel are partnered with experienced 

personnel during the response. 

4. It is recommended that all Federal personnel involved at the accident site wear clothing (e.g. 

hats, shirts, and/or jackets) identifying their agency or group. This is helpful for families and 

those involved in supporting the operation. 

5. Agencies providing support to victims and their family members under this plan are 

requested to submit an AAR to the Director, NTSB TDA, within 60 days of completion of 

their tasks. The report is critical for capturing lessons learned, taking corrective actions, and 

updating plans. A sample format is provided in appendix E. 

6. Other than media releases by the air carrier regarding the progress of family notification and 

the release of passengers’ names as described in VST 2, item 9, all media inquiries and 

releases pertaining to the NTSB TDA operation will be referred to the NTSB Office of 

Public Affairs. The NTSB will advise and assist the local medical examiner regarding any 

media affairs related to his or her area of responsibility. Support organizations may provide 

press releases or briefings on their specific mission/actions during the accident response. 

There are no restrictions on victims or family members meeting with the media if they so 

desire. 

7. Due to differences among air carriers and air carrier underwriter policies, as well as 

differences among aviation accidents, consideration for reimbursement of costs associated 

with an agency’s participation in an aviation disaster response will be made after discussions 

with the air carrier and its insurance underwriter.

APPENDIX B 

Family Assistance Center Operations 

The Family Assistance Center (FAC) is the focus of services for family members when they 

travel to the accident location. FACs are designed to meet the immediate and short-term needs 

of family members: safety, security, physiological needs (food, sleep), information (about the 

victim recovery and identification process, and the investigation), and crisis/grief counseling. In 

addition, family members may be interviewed to gather antemortem information about the 

victims and to submit DNA samples to facilitate victim identification. The air carrier is required 

to provide the FAC location. Most FACs are established at hotels or similar facilities. 

Consideration should be given to a facility that has multiple meeting rooms, a large ballroom, 

up-to-date information technology infrastructure, and food services. Arrangements are 

coordinated by the air carrier and the NTSB. 

The NTSB TDA Director manages FAC operations or assigns a designee in her/his absence. 

Staff present at the FAC should include the following: 

1. Air carrier support team personnel and their associated management team 

2. NTSB TDA staff 

3. Local law enforcement 

4. American Red Cross personnel, including approved child care providers, spiritual care staff, 

health professionals and crisis counselors 

5. Medical examiner staff 

6. Personnel designated by the medical examiner to conduct antemortem interviews 

7. Personal effects management contractors working for the air carrier 

8. Local support agency personnel 

A number of critical functions will take place at the FAC and must be closely coordinated; they 

include the following: 

1. Safety and security, including badging of staff and family members 

2. NTSB daily briefings, typically held twice daily 

3. Antemortem interviews conducted by the medical examiner personnel or their designee 

4. Childcare, spiritual care, and crisis counseling (conducted by the American Red Cross) 

5. Death notifications by the medical examiner 

Typically, the FAC will remain operational until the decedents have been identified, or until 

families are notified that the identification process will continue for an extended period of time. 

If this should occur, families will be contacted at home regarding positive identifications. 

It is essential that each agency in the FAC understand its role in the support of families. 

Not all family members will travel to the FAC. If there are family members already residing in 

the accident city, they will most likely visit the FAC to receive updates at the briefings and then 

return home. Other family members will participate in the briefings via a telephone conference 

bridge.

APPENDIX C 

Joint Family Support Operations Center 

The Joint Family Support Operations Center (JFSOC) is an important element in the control and 

coordination of the responses and resources of supporting organizations involved in an aviation 

accident. 

The JFSOC is a central location where participating organizations are brought together to 

monitor, plan, coordinate, and execute a response operation maximizing the utilization of all 

available resources. Communication and sharing of information continue to be challenges to a 

successful emergency response. The JFSOC is designed to address these challenges. 

Organizations normally involved in the JFSOC are the following: NTSB, air carrier, the 

American Red Cross, local government and law enforcement, and supporting Federal agencies. 

Depending on the extent of the disaster, other organizations may also be involved in the JFSOC. 

The JFSOC and one or more of the organizations involved (listed above) provide the following: 

1. Serve as the central point for coordination and sharing of information among participating 

organizations. 

2. Monitor ongoing family support activities and tracks mission activities of each organization, 

such as the status of the available resources. 

3. Maintain a current list of locations and key telephone numbers of participating organizations 

and personnel. 

4. Manage and coordinate requests for services. 

5. Maintain a daily journal of organizational activities and responses. 

Agency representatives assigned to the JFSOC are responsible for the following tasks: 

1. Maintain current status of family support activities. 

2. Prepare information for the NTSB family website. 

3. Provide information for the daily family briefing/conference bridge. 

4. Brief participating agencies daily about activities concerning family support. 

5. Coordinate and share information among all organizational representatives. 
 - 41 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

6. Maintain locations and telephone numbers of organizational entities along with key 

personnel (for instance, FAC, medical examiner, staff processing center, NTSB investigators, 

air carrier, accident site, supporting organizations, local law enforcement, and local 

government). 

7. Maintain and update daily plans, incident action plans, and plans for future operations. 

8. Maintain the status and location of injured victims. 

9. Maintain the status of victim identification effort, utilizing information provided by medical 

examiner personnel or their designee. 

10. Update information on numbers of families at the accident city and projected 

departures/arrivals (24/48 hours). 

11. Track the progress of antemortem interviews and antemortem data collection. 

An aviation accident may take place anywhere. Therefore, it is necessary to remain flexible in 

planning the location of the JFSOC, taking into consideration the location and the severity of the 

accident. The location of the JFSOC will be determined on the basis of available space, in such 

places as hotels, local government buildings, or mobile command posts. 

The air carrier is responsible for securing space to accommodate family members, the FAC, and 

the JFSOC. The involved air carrier should plan on securing a hotel area that can accommodate 

the people, equipment, and activities in the JFSOC. Although hotel space for family members 

and the FAC will be at a premium, the JFSOC should be located in the same hotel. A small 

ballroom or large conference room is appropriate. Should the air carrier have difficulty securing 

space, the NTSB will contact local authorities to determine the availability of suitable space.

The following is a general description of the duties and responsibilities of agency representatives 

assigned to the JFSOC: 

1. Coordinator: The JFSOC Coordinator represents the NTSB and is charged with managing the 

day-to-day activities of the JFSOC. The coordinator may do any of the following tasks: assign 

responsibilities to JFSOC members, facilitate the exchange of information among the JFSOC 

participants, ensure that critical information is kept current, inform other participants of 

significant developments, collect information that may be used for family briefings, ensure that 

individual logs are kept current, coordinate with NTSB headquarters regarding information to be 

placed on the Board’s special family website, and perform other duties relating to the specific 

requirements of the accident response. 

2. Deputy Coordinator: A Deputy Coordinator may be designated to assist the Coordinator. 

The Deputy Coordinator may be from the air carrier or from the local emergency management 

agency. 
 - 42 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

3. Administrative Officer: An Administrative Officer will assist the Coordinator with 

administrative functions, such as preparing drafts of documents, collecting and posting logs, 

assembling clips of media coverage of the accident, providing supplies, and performing other 

duties relating to the specific requirements of the accident response. 

4. Air carrier representative: The air carrier representative serves primarily in a coordinating 

role for the carrier. Responsibilities include passing along information to the carrier’s command 

center regarding positively identified passengers (after families have been notified); addressing 

questions related to current and future support provided to families by the air carrier; providing 

updates regarding other agencies’ current and future plans and developments; scheduling 

meetings and related agendas; maintaining a daily log; monitoring status of injured victims and 

numbers of family members on and off site; providing information for daily briefings to family 

members; and updating other JFSOC participants on the carrier’s activities and developments. 

5. Local government representative: The local government representative is the coordinating 

point for JFSOC participants on issues of security of the morgue, FAC, hotels for family 

members, and other designated sensitive areas. The representative is also responsible for keeping 

his or her organization informed of family affairs activities and meetings, updating other JFSOC 

participants on the local government’s activities and developments, maintaining a daily log, 

providing information for daily briefings to family members, identifying local assets and 

resources that can be utilized to support the operation, and assisting other participants in their 

understanding of the local community and their leaders. 

6. Medical examiner representative: The medical examiner representative serves as a liaison 

between the victim identification activities at the morgue, the antemortem interview process at 

the FAC, and the DMORT FAC team. They may also provide information on the victim 

identification process at the family briefings. 

7. American Red Cross representative: The American Red Cross representative assigned to 

the JFSOC coordinates the American Red Cross’ operations in the FAC and the staff processing 

center. Responsibilities include responding to questions that relate to current and future support 

provided to families and support workers, answering questions related to persons and 

organizations who want to volunteer services or support, informing the American Red Cross of 

scheduled meetings, maintaining a daily log, monitoring status of support personnel in the FAC 

and other sites, answering or redirecting calls from family members who may be off site, 

providing information for daily briefings to family members, and updating other JFSOC 

participants regarding operational activities and developments. 

8. DOS representative (if required): The DOS representative serves in a coordinating role 

between the JFSOC and the DOS. The representative will coordinate issues involving foreign 

passengers and the support they will need from DOS, the victim’s embassy/consulate, and other 

participants of the JFSOC. Other tasks include maintaining a daily log, monitoring status of 

foreign victims and their families, providing advice on cultural issues, answering or redirecting 

calls from foreign government officials, providing information for daily briefings to family 

members, and updating other JFSOC participants on the organization’s activities and 
 - 43 -

Revised December 2008 

developments. If foreign consulate officials participate in the activities of the JFSOC, the DOS 

representative will serve as their sponsor. 

9. DOJ/FBI OVA representative (if required): DOJ/FBI OVA will only be involved in the 

JFSOC when the cause of the disaster is suspected to be of criminal intent. The representative 

serves primarily in a coordinating and informational role for DOJ/FBI. 

10. FEMA representative (if required): The FEMA representative is not normally involved in 

the JFSOC, unless the disaster requires substantial Federal government assistance. For example, 

a disaster that occurs in a highly populated area causing severe structural damage and a 

substantial number of ground casualties will require a FEMA representative at the JFSOC. The 

representative will be primarily responsible for coordinating the local and State emergency 

management agency efforts with the family support operation.

APPENDIX F 

Victim Identification Information 

The local medical examiner or coroner has the legal responsibility to identify the victims of an 

aviation disaster. In addition, he or she is legally responsible for determining cause and manner 

of death and completing death certification. Medical examiner and coroner offices vary greatly 

in terms of staff and facility size. Some offices may be able to handle an aviation disaster with 

existing staff and facilities, while other offices, particularly those in rural areas, may require 

assistance. The medical examiner or coroner should have a written mass fatality plan that will 

give a basic framework for a response and whether assistance will be required. 

The Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996 designates the NTSB to coordinate Federal 

assistance in response to aviation accidents. The responsibilities of the NTSB transfer to the FBI 

if the cause of the disaster is officially declared a criminal act. 

The NTSB or the FBI can, at the request of the medical examiner or coroner, request the services 

of the DMORT to assist with fatality management and identification of victims. The NTSB or 

FBI can also request the delivery of the DMORT portable morgue. In addition, the Office of the 

Armed Forces Medical Examiner (OAFME) can provide assistance to the FBI for medicolegal 

investigation issues. 

 

The process of victim identification in a transportation disaster is thorough, deliberate, and based 

on proven scientific methods. As a rule, personal effects removed from the remains are 

considered to be a presumptive method of identification used to suggest who the deceased may 

be. Positive victim identification requires comparison of antemortem (before death) records and 

samples, such as dental and medical radiographs, with similar information collected from the 

remains. Exact matches of unique biological characteristics found in both the antemortem and 

postmortem records leads to a positive identification. Such methods include comparison of 

dental records and radiographs, comparison of fingerprints, comparison of bone structure in 

radiographs, comparison of healed fractures in radiographs, unique medical features (such as 

implants/prosthetics), and comparison of DNA. 

In aviation disasters involving fragmented remains, identification is followed by the process of 

reassociating remains. Reassociation takes more time and is more complex than identification. 

Although a victim may be identified quickly using a single tooth, the ability to bring together the 

disassociated remains of victims relies primarily on DNA. DNA identification involves 

comparing DNA samples of the deceased to antemortem samples from relatives or a sample of 

DNA from the deceased obtained from clothing, a hairbrush, or a similar item containing skin or 

hair cells. 

Once a positive identification has been made, the medical examiner office or a designee will 

notify the victim’s legal NOK. At this point, the NOK decides on how and when the remains 

will be returned for burial/final disposition. Crisis support care and other support mechanisms 

will be available to the family during this process.

Based on NTSB experience the number of rooms required ranges from 4 to 12, 

depending on the number of fatalities. 

o Be aware that crisis counseling and DMORT facilities are also used as venues to 

inform families when positive identification has been made. By having the medical 

examiner or DMORT team representative located within the FAC, transportation of 

victims’ remains and other logistical considerations can be better coordinated. 

Support requirements for planning purposes are in appendix C. 

□ Provide DOS representatives the necessary information regarding foreign passengers to 

facilitate interaction with appropriate foreign government embassies. 

□ Establish a liaison with the American Red Cross at each medical treatment facility to monitor 

the status of injured victims and to provide assistance to their families.

for at least 18 months from the date of the accident. 

o The NTSB has developed guidelines for the on-scene search for personal effects. 

□ Consult with family members about any air carrier–sponsored monument, including any 

inscriptions. 

□ Provide reasonable reimbursement to the American Red Cross for the services provided to 

the family, air carrier, and supporting personnel. 

□ Provide the same support and treatment to families of non-revenue passengers or any other 

victim of the accident (for instance, ground fatality) as is provided for revenue passengers. 

□ If the NTSB conducts a public hearing or comparable proceeding at a location more than 80 

miles from the accident site, ensure that a simultaneous transmission of the proceeding is 

available to family members at a location open to the public at both the origin city and 

destination city of the accident flight. 

□ In the event of an accident outside of the United States, AIR 21 legislation requires “An 

assurance that the air carrier, in the event that the air carrier volunteers assistance to United 

States citizens within the United States with respect to an aircraft accident outside of the 

United States involving major loss of life, the air carrier will consult with the Board and the 

Department of State on the provision of the assistance.” 

□ In the event the investigation determines the accident is the result of a criminal act,

Victim Support Tasks 

American Red Cross 

□ Deploy an American Red Cross CRT to serve as the functional leadership of family care and 

crisis intervention during the aviation accident. The CRT will support the local American 

Red Cross response and manage any spontaneous volunteers. 

□ Assign a representative to the JFSOC to coordinate American Red Cross related issues and 

family requests for assistance. 

□ Coordinate and manage the numerous organizations and personnel offering counseling, 

religious, and other support services to the operation. A staff processing center, operated 

away from the FAC, should be created to screen, monitor, and manage personnel (employee 

and volunteer staff). The staff processing center will also be responsible for developing an 

exclusive badge system for personnel, matching volunteer skills with organizational needs, 

assigning work schedules, briefing and debriefing of support staff, and planning for future 

activities. 

o Qualified local resources should be integrated with American Red Cross personnel 

for crisis and grief counseling, food services, administrative assistance, and other 

support services to family members and support organizations. 

o Crisis and grief counseling for family members who do not travel to the accident city 

should be coordinated with air carrier personnel. 

□ Employ an accounting system to accurately record cost data in specific cost categories for 

reimbursement by the air carrier. 

□ Assess the needs and available resources of other crisis support agencies, coordinate with 

them to ensure ongoing emotional support for workers during the operation, and provide 

debriefings before departure. 

□ Establish a liaison with the air carrier at each supporting medical treatment facility to monitor 

the status of injured victims and to provide assistance to their families. 

□ Coordinate with the air carrier to establish areas in the FAC for families to grieve privately. 

□ If deemed necessary, deploy a CRC to coordinate on-site childcare services for families who 

arrive with young children. 

□ If deemed necessary, deploy a SRT to coordinate on-site spiritual care. 

□ If desired by the families, coordinate the planning for a suitable interfaith memorial service 

within the first few days following the accident. 

□ If deemed necessary, arrange a memorial service for any future burial of unidentified 

remains. 

□ Provide families, at their request, with referrals to mental health professionals and support 

groups in their local area. 

□ Provide additional support to affected special needs or demographically/culturally diverse 

populations as deemed necessary.

Department of Health and Human Services 

Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response 

□ At the time of an accident and following notification by the NTSB, activate the appropriate 

DMORT team personnel, supplies, and equipment to assist in the management of victim 

identification. 

□ Assign a representative to the JFSOC to address DMORT-related issues. 

□ Assign necessary DMORT team members to assist the medical examiner with victim 

identification and mortuary services. The configuration of the team and skills required will be 

determined by the details of the accident and the capabilities of the local medical examiner. 

□ Follow the “DMORT Standard Operating Procedures for National Transportation Safety 

Board Activations.” 

□ Provide, if necessary, a morgue facility, a DMORT Portable Morgue Unit (DPMU), and the 

necessary equipment and supplies to augment the local medical examiner’s capabilities. 

□ Monitor the status of all incoming antemortem records to include dental, medical, and DNA 

data to ensure that all records have been received. If not, take steps to obtain the records and 

radiographs. 

□ Employ a standard antemortem questionnaire and disposition of remains form that can be 

adapted to meet local medical examiner and State requirements. The disposition of remains 

form will be used to obtain directions from the lawfully authorized NOK regarding what 

he/she desires the medical examiner to do with remains that may later be identified as those 

of their family member. Information collected from family members is strictly confidential 

and is ultimately under the control of the medical examiner. 

□ Using a specially trained FAC team, interview family members who are both on site and off 

site for information regarding antemortem identification and disposition of remains. 

□ Coordinate with the medical examiner to integrate qualified non-DMORT personnel who are 

providing assistance to the medical examiner’s office into the morgue operation. 

□ If necessary, assist the medical examiner in notifying family members of positive 

identification, including an explanation of how identification was determined. 

□ Ensure the accuracy of the chain of custody by performing a check of documentation and 

remains prior to the release of remains to the designated funeral director. 

□ Assist the medical examiner with reassociation of remains following the identification 

process. This may occur weeks or months after the accident. 

□ Through the FAC team, provide the NTSB with contact information for the NOK (addresses, 

telephone numbers, e-mail addresses) and the NOK’s relationship to the victim.

APPENDIX H 

Frequently Asked Questions

Manifest Inquiries

Who can request a copy of the manifest? 

Legally, the NTSB is the only Federal agency to which an air carrier is required to provide a 

copy of the manifest. If the disaster involves a flight segment for which the last point of 

departure or the first point of arrival is in the United States, the air carrier must also transmit a 

copy of the manifest to the Department of State within 3 hours of the accident. 

When must I provide a copy of the manifest? 

A copy of the manifest is given, upon request, to the NTSB. Please ensure each updated version 

of the manifest is marked in a manner that it can be easily differentiated from other versions. 

Markings such as “Version # 1,” “Version # 2,” “Final” or other qualifiers (for instance, date and 

time stamp) are important to avoid confusion. 

What if the TSA or an airport police officer wants the manifest? 

Since the events of 9/11/2001, the NTSB and air carriers have agreed that air carriers may give a 

copy of the manifest to the FBI’s Airport Liaison Agent (ALA) at any airport in the United 

States. The agent will then distribute the manifest, as necessary, to other agencies. If you do not 

know your ALA, please contact your local FBI office or your airport police department. 

Does my airport fire department need a copy of the manifest? 

The airport fire department is required to know the number of passengers and crew on the 

aircraft and to be given the cargo manifest. The air carrier is not required by law to give the 

passenger manifest to the fire department. 

Does the NTSB release the manifest to the press? 

The NTSB never releases the manifest to the press. 

If a U.S. air carrier crashes overseas, am I required to give a copy of the manifest to the 

NTSB? 

In such an event, a U.S. air carrier is required by law to provide a copy of the manifest to the 

Department of State within 3 hours of the accident. The NTSB may also ask for a copy. 

I am having problems with agencies that believe they have a right to a copy of the manifest. 

Can the NTSB help me? 

Please call the NTSB Office of Transportation Disaster Assistance at (202) 314-6185 and a 

specialist will be assigned to help you.

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Air Carriers

Who constitutes a family member? Is there a specific definition? 

U.S. Federal and State laws define who constitutes a family member for legal purposes. These 

legal definitions vary from State to State. Traditionally, family members included spouse, 

children, mother, father, brother, and sister. Terms such as stepparents, stepsiblings and life 

partners have become more common in recent years in defining some family environments. In 

order to provide support and assistance to victims and their families, air carriers should be 

prepared to work with various family situations. 

During the initial hours of an aviation disaster, the air carrier must verify a significant 

amount of information regarding the passengers. If a family member calls during the 

verification process, what information should he or she be given? 

Air carriers must establish contact with the family of a victim as soon as possible following an 

accident. Be aware that, in some cases, a family member may establish contact with the air 

carrier before the air carrier has been able to contact that family. The air carrier must, upon the 

request of the family of a passenger, inform the family of whether the passenger’s name appears 

on a preliminary manifest for the accident flight (as stipulated in AIR 21; see appendix A). 

Should the air carrier contact any other family members? 

If the initial family member contacted is unable to understand the information the air carrier is 

providing, it may be necessary to notify another family member. Another family member may 

also assist in other situations, such as non-English speaking families. 

Is there a requirement by an air carrier to release the names of the passengers and crew to the 

media? 

There is no legal requirement for the air carrier to release the names of passengers and crew to 

the media. The media should be informed about the number of families that have been notified 

during the initial notification process. However, as the air carrier completes the notification 

process to passenger and crew family members, the air carrier is encouraged to obtain an 

estimate on how much time will be needed for the family to contact other family members. 

There should be consideration in delaying the release of any names until these family members 

have been contacted. 

How often should air carriers update family members on the progress of initial events? 

Family members should be contacted regularly, even if there is no updated information. If the 

air carrier tells a family member that the carrier will call back by a specific time, that call must 

be made as promised. Once the NTSB and the families arrive at the FAC, regular briefings will 

be scheduled by the NTSB. 

Are there any steps an air carrier can take to limit the number of inquiry calls that follow a 

disaster? 

When providing the media with a toll-free number, the air carrier must stress that the number is 

only for those family members and friends who have reason to believe their loved one was on 

board the accident flight. The air carrier should ask the media to continually emphasize the 

name of the carrier; flight number and/or code share flight number; and airport origination, 
 - 60 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

connection, and final destination to prevent confusion and misinformation, and ultimately to 

reduce call volume. 

For air carrier personnel, the air carrier should also rely upon an internal “call home” system. 

After an accident, flight crews and other employees should be advised of the accident through 

the company’s internal communications network. They should be asked to call home and check 

in with their family members. 

Are there any special considerations for family members traveling to the accident city? 

By law, air carriers must ensure that family members are provided with transportation to the 

accident city and other immediate needs, such as lodging. The air carrier should be sensitive to 

requests for more than one family member or for a non-family member to travel to the accident 

city. If at all possible, a family member should not travel alone to the accident city. 

Some family members may request to travel to the accident city via an alternate air carrier, an 

aircraft type other than the accident aircraft, or an alternate mode of travel (for instance, rental 

car, bus, or train). The air carrier should attempt to honor such requests.

What types of training can help teach air carrier employees how to assist families following an 

accident? 

Air carriers will train employees and agents who are responsible for assisting survivors and 

family members following an accident. Employees should be sensitized in a number of areas, 

including the range of physical and emotional reaction to trauma, family member and victims’ 

needs for accurate and timely information, the varying needs of different populations, and the 

importance of providing compassionate and non-judgmental support during this difficult and 

complex time. 

Because employees may encounter physical and psychological stress reactions during an 

accident response, training should include methods for taking care of themselves during and after 

the response. The training should also include how to support co-workers who may be having 

difficulties and how to effectively exit the response assignment and return to their normal duties. 

Recurrent annual training maintains skills and a level of readiness. 

In addition, NTSB TDA holds courses at the NTSB Training Center on a variety of family 

assistance topics. More information about the NTSB Training Center and course offerings can 

be found at the following website: www.ntsb.gov/TC.

Does an air carrier need to file a family assistance plan? 

All carriers are required to file their assurance with both the NTSB and the U.S. Department of 

Transportation. Send assurances to: National Transportation Safety Board, Office of 

Transportation Disaster Assistance, Attention: Erik Grosof, 490 L’Enfant Plaza East, S.W., 

Washington, D.C., 20594. Fax Number: (202) 314-6638. Phone: (202) 314-6185. E-mail: 

erik.grosof@ntsb.gov. 

What issues should an air carrier consider in managing personal effects? 
 - 61 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Due to the physical dangers and psychological impact that the recovery and management of 

personal effects can have on air carrier employees, it is strongly suggested that a professional 

third party be employed. Air carriers need to allow family members the opportunity to view 

unassociated personal effects. This can be done via a catalog or a CD containing photographs of 

these items. Family members should be notified before the catalog or CD is sent to them for 

their review. A claim for specific personal effects can be placed with the air carrier or the third 

party vendor. 

Air carriers are required to maintain possession of all unassociated personal effects for a 

minimum of 18 months following the accident. It is recommended that family members be 

notified prior to the destruction of any personal effects in the air carrier’s possession, allowing 

them one final opportunity to claim previously unclaimed personal effects. 

NTSB and FBI ERT have developed “best practice” guidance for surveying and searching for 

personal effects at accident sites. A copy can be obtained from the NTSB TDA office. 

How should an air carrier plan to demobilize its family assistance response efforts? 

In accordance with common disaster management procedures, air carrier family assistance 

managers should plan their demobilization during the beginning of the response. 

Demobilization planning allows managers and staff to focus their activities with an 

understanding of when the work will end. Since the response will eventually end, knowing the 

process of how to close down the response is essential to an effective overall response. 

What changes did AIR 21 and VISION 100 make to the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance 

Act? 

Pursuant to AIR 21: 

• The restrictions on solicitation by attorneys and their agents is increased from 30 to 45 days 

following the accident. 

• Local authorities cannot block the use of mental health and counseling services for 30 days 

following the date of the accident. The NTSB can extend that period for another 30 days if 

necessary. 

• An assurance that “upon request” of the family, the air carrier will inform the family of 

whether the passenger’s name appeared on a preliminary passenger manifest of the accident 

flight. 

• An assurance that the air carrier provides adequate family assistance training to employees 

and agents of the carrier. 

• If an air carrier volunteers to assist U.S. citizens within the United States with respect to an 

aircraft accident outside of the United States involving major loss of life, an assurance that 

the air carrier will consult with the NTSB and the Department of State. 

Pursuant to VISION 100: 

• Requirements and procedures for air carriers when dealing with non-government owned 

property damaged or destroyed during an aviation accident. 

• Establishes clear lines of communication between the land/property owner and the air carrier 

underwriter. 
 - 62 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

• If the NTSB conducts a public hearing or comparable proceeding at a location greater than 

80 miles from the accident site, the air carrier must ensure the proceeding is simultaneously 

broadcast at locations open to the public at both the origin and destination cities of the 

accident flight (if the city is located in the United States). 

American Red Cross

Why was the American Red Cross selected? 

The NTSB designated the American Red Cross because it meets the legislated requirement for an 

independent non-profit organization with experience in disaster response and post-trauma 

communications with families. 

What is the Critical Response Team (CRT)? 

At the accident city, the local American Red Cross chapter initiates the American Red Cross 

response in accordance with local planning. These activities may be supported as needed by 

other American Red Cross chapters from the surrounding area. The CRT is composed of trained 

and experienced American Red Cross disaster management specialists, who are mobilized within 

4 hours, travel to the accident city, and augment the local American Red Cross response. 

 

Is there any requirement for an air carrier to meet with the American Red Cross before a 

disaster occurs? 

There are no mandates for an air carrier to meet with the American Red Cross before a disaster. 

However, it is important that local air carrier station management and American Red Cross 

chapters coordinate their local planning activities where appropriate to ensure each group’s 

awareness of the other’s plans. This will enhance the coordination of the immediate response. 

An annual meeting can eliminate any misunderstandings or confusion over the provision of 

services. 

What other services can the American Red Cross provide to an air carrier, family members, or 

the community where the disaster occurred? 

The American Red Cross can provide crisis support for local agencies, air carrier personnel, and 

family members. If needed, they will assist with family member referrals for additional mental 

health services. 

The CRT also comprises two specialized teams: the CRC and the SRT. The CRC deploys 

trained experienced disaster childcare professionals to deliver specialized childcare, typically in 

the FAC. The SRT deploys trained experienced spiritual care professionals to coordinate, 

establish, and maintain spiritual care services. 

How do other service providers interact with the American Red Cross? 

The American Red Cross is responsible for establishing a staff-processing center to ensure the 

best use of all resources. Providers can contact the American Red Cross through the processing 

center or their local American Red Cross chapter in advance if interested in assisting. 
 - 63 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

The American Red Cross can also assist in managing “spontaneous volunteers” who frequently 

present themselves following an accident. 

U.S. State Department

What is the role of the U.S. State Department during an aviation disaster (domestic or foreign 

air carrier) in the United States or its territories? 

The U.S. Department of State is responsible for providing official notification to foreign 

governments whose citizens were involved in the accident. Notifications take place after 

necessary information about foreign passengers is obtained from the air carrier. The State 

Department can also assist the air carrier in notifying U.S. citizens who may reside or are 

traveling outside the United States that a member of their family has been involved in an aviation 

accident. 

For foreign carriers, the State Department can assist by alerting the U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS) that a corporate “Go Team” is en route to the accident city. They 

can assist with obtaining required visas or other documents needed to gain entry into the United 

States. Assistance can also be given to family members en route to the accident city. The State 

Department will work with USCIS to ensure that entry into the United States by these families is 

done in a timely, compassionate, and professional manner. 

Additional information on State Department roles and responsibilities can be found at 

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86830.pdf. 

Family Assistance Center

What is the difference between the Friends and Relatives Reception Center and the FAC? 

Friends and Relatives Reception Centers are located at the arriving and departing airports and are 

temporary locations for family members to gather until an FAC is established. The FAC is 

established at a hotel or similar facility in the accident city and is the focus for the assistance and 

information family members will receive during the initial phases of the accident response. 

Who is responsible for the FAC? 

The air carrier is responsible for securing a facility and all reasonable operational expenses to 

accommodate family members traveling to the accident city. Agencies providing support and 

services to families will work together to ensure families are assisted. The NTSB has the overall 

responsibility for the effective operation of the FAC, but it relies upon the cooperation and 

support of all contributing organizations. 

How will professionals and other service agencies in the local community be incorporated into 

the family assistance response?

The American Red Cross is the designated non-profit organization responsible for family care 

and crisis intervention. In this capacity, it manages the recruitment, training, and support of all 

volunteers, including those in the local community, through a Staff Processing Center. It is the 
 - 64 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

intent of the American Red Cross and the NTSB to integrate local professionals and 

organizations affiliated with a disaster response agency/organization. 
 - 65 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Who is considered a family member for access to the FAC? 

“Family member” is defined in broad terms for the purpose of FAC access. Many individuals 

consider themselves to be the “family” of the victim, even though the law does not formally 

recognize the relationship. Keep in mind that the goal of the FAC is to support and provide 

assistance to those associated with the victim(s) impacted by the aviation disaster. 

How do families not traveling to the accident city obtain information and support? 

There are several ways for families who do not travel to the accident city to obtain information 

and support. Air carriers should maintain contact with non-traveling families and provide them 

the same types of support as received by families at the FAC. The American Red Cross can also 

provide support through their chapters in the local community. A toll-free conference call bridge 

is used during most family member briefings. The NTSB establishes an accident-specific 

website for family members along with the existing assistance@ntsb.gov email address. 

How will the air carriers, local emergency responders, American Red Cross, and other 

Federal agencies coordinate the services delivered to family members? 

The JFSOC coordinates all family member activities and resolves family assistance concerns and 

challenges during the on-scene phase of the response. Facilitated by NTSB TDA, the JFSOC 

includes representatives from each organization providing assistance to ensure efficient use of 

resources, sharing of information, and the provision of appropriate and professional services to 

families. 

How do the family members find answers to their individual questions? 

It is recommended that family members first ask their air carrier escort/representative for 

answers to their questions. If he or she cannot provide an answer, the question can be channeled 

to the JFSOC via the representative’s supervisor. Families are encouraged to ask questions at 

the regularly scheduled family briefings. 

NTSB TDA is responsible for maintaining contact (including answering individual questions) 

with victims and family members following the on-scene phase of the investigation. All 

necessary contact information will be provided during the final family briefing. 

Airports, Emergency Personnel and First Responders

What areas of consideration should airports have in planning to assist families during the first 

few hours of an aviation disaster? 

Although not currently required, airports should have plans to assist victims and their families 

during the initial hours following an aviation accident. Airport emergency planning is especially 

critical for smaller air carriers or charter operations that have a limited presence at the airport. 

Consider providing family members a private and secure area to gather (Friends and Relatives 

Reception Area) while awaiting information from the air carrier. Air carrier clubs, conference 

rooms, or restaurants can serve this purpose. If located within the sterile area, entry procedures 

must be established with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Security 

Director prior to an accident. Police officers should be used to secure the room and the 
 - 66 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

immediate area from the general public. Local Red Cross chapters should be included in 

planning sessions as they can provide disaster mental health and medical services personnel, as 

well as other needed local resources, to assist air carrier staff with families at this location. 

When selecting the location, consideration should be given to the following: 

• Proximity to restrooms and other amenities 

• Privacy from the general public 

• Privacy from the media 

• Availability of television access to family members, if desired 

• A location that does not overlook the accident site (if at all possible) 

What areas of consideration should be given when airports are reviewing their airport 

emergency plans? 

If an airport’s plan calls for sealing off access to the airport or terminals during an emergency, 

local air carrier management should provide a list of employees required to have access to the 

airport or terminal(s) during such a period. Airport Operations Access (AOA) badges for these 

individuals should be issued with a unique indicator. Some airports have used the following 

indicators: “COMMAND POST,” “EMERGENCY ACCESS,” “INCIDENT RESPONSE,” 

“DISASTER RESPONSE,” or a large letter “E.” Once chosen, the format is relayed to law 

enforcement agencies securing the airport, thus allowing air carrier/airport personnel wearing a 

badge to gain access even when roadways are closed. 

To reduce confusion by responding mutual aid agencies, airports should consider placing large 

signs at their predetermined staging and emergency access areas and gates. These signs should 

be reflective, preferable white wording on a red background, using simple text; for example, 

ARFF STAGING AREA “A” or MUTUAL AID ACCESS GATE #5. Airports should review 

and contact emergency service agencies within a 5-mile radius of the airport to receive aircraft 

emergency ingress/egress familiarization and training. Airport fire services can coordinate with 

air carriers to arrange familiarization tours of various air carrier aircraft types. 

Pre-accident meetings with local emergency planners; hospitals; the American Red Cross; city, 

county, and State police and fire services; and clergy help to familiarize response groups with 

one another.

Are there any special considerations about moving wreckage after life-safety efforts have been 

completed? 

Once the emergency response moves from rescue to recovery, the area should be sealed off until 

an NTSB representative arrives on the scene. If at all possible, pieces of wreckage should not be 

moved. If the wreckage must be moved, it is critical to document the process in writing. 

Additionally photographs of the wreckage should be taken before and after disturbing the items. 

In some accidents, the NTSB will request the assistance of the FBI Evidence Response Team 

(ERT) to document the scene and conduct the recovery operation. The FBI ERT is available 

nationwide and offers a standard level of documentation and recovery to the NTSB.

If the accident is caused by a criminal act, who will be in charge? 

For aviation accidents caused by intentional criminal acts, the FBI is the lead investigative 

Federal agency. The NTSB may support the FBI with technical expertise. Because of the 

importance of evidence preservation and documentation, local authorities must ensure that all 

wreckage is preserved and not moved unless necessary for life-safety activities. 

Medical Examiners, Coroners, and Forensic Responders

What is the process for the notification of identification and release of victims’ remains? 

Once the identification process is complete, the NOK is notified by the medical examiner or the 

DMORT Family Assistance Team. The notifying agency will make arrangements for the release 

of remains to the funeral home selected by the NOK. Victims’ remains will be transported from 

the morgue by a funeral home vendor contracted by the air carrier to the funeral home selected 

by the NOK. Contact information for the funeral home selected by the NOK is obtained during 

the antemortem interview or during the notification of identification process. 

Generally, victims’ remains are released on an individual basis, as they are identified; however, 

in some circumstance, remains are released at the end of the identification process, once all 

identifications have been made. This decision is made by the presiding medical examiner, and 

the NOK is informed of this process. 

What is the process of identifying victims using DNA evidence? 

Victim identification based on DNA evidence requires a comparison of DNA data obtained from 

a victim’s remains to data obtained from a reference sample. Personal items or prior medical 

specimens from the victim can be submitted as a direct reference sample. If submitted, it is 

imperative to verify that the DNA from the personal item belongs to the victim. If direct 

reference samples are not available, family reference samples obtained from close biological 

relatives are utilized. When obtaining a family reference sample, it is important to understand 

and document the biological relationship between the victim and the individual providing the 

reference sample (for instance, biological mother, father, children, brothers, or sisters). DNA 

identifications cannot be accomplished without the reference sample. For more information, see 

appendix I , which lists several resources regarding victim identification using DNA evidence.
 - 68 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Why does the victim identification process take so long? What factors influence the process? 

Victim identification requires comparing information collected from the remains of the victim 

(postmortem data) to information available from the victim when he or she was alive 

(antemortem data). Scientific methods, such as comparing dental radiographs taken while the 

victim was alive with radiographs taken from the deceased victim, are the preferred methods for 

victim identification. Other scientific methods include fingerprint examinations, comparison of 

radiographs, and DNA analysis. In general, five factors influence the victim identification 

process. 

1. The number of fatalities. As the number of fatalities increases, the amount of time 

and resources required to identify victims also increases, due to the investigative 

effort needed to obtain antemortem information and to conduct postmortem analysis. 

2. An open or closed victim population. A disaster comprises a closed victim 

population if the number of victims and their names are known (for example, a 

manifested air carrier accident). Conversely, an open population is one in which 

neither the number of victims nor their names are known (for example, an explosion 

in a public building). Disasters involving open victim populations require more time 

and resources to resolve because authorities must distinguish those actually missing 

from those initially reported missing. The antemortem data collection process only 

begins once a victim is known to be missing. 

3. The availability of antemortem information. Not all fatal victims have easily 

accessible or available antemortem information. For example, a victim who has 

never visited a dentist will not have dental records. Authorities must know where to 

look for antemortem records; this information is usually provided by family members. 

The absence of useful antemortem data, or the presence of incorrect data, will slow 

the victim identification process. 

4. The condition of remains (for instance, thermal damage, fragmentation, and 

commingling). Complete bodies are more easily recovered and identified than 

remains impacted by fire, decomposition, fragmentation, and commingling. For 

fragmented remains, the reliance on DNA methods increases, requiring additional 

time and resources. Additionally, given an open population with fragmented remains, 

the standard of care is to identify all remains, since the number and names of the dead 

are not known. With a closed-population investigation, the goal is to account for all 

potentially identifiable remains for each victim. Often this approach does not require 

analysis of all remains, just those that have the potential to be identified. 

5. Challenges in search and recovery operations. Remote terrestrial or underwater 

recovery operations require specialized support and more time, thus delaying the 

collection of postmortem data. 

What are some of the concerns during the search and recovery process? 

The physical location of the accident site determines the resources required and the procedures 

employed for search and recovery operations. The personnel and equipment needed for scene 

documentation and recovery operations vary significantly depending on whether the accident 

occurred on land or over water. The NTSB has authority for the aircraft wreckage, the medical 

examiner/coroner has authority for the human remains and associated personal effects, and the 

air carrier has responsibility for unassociated personal effects. Accident scene activities are 
 - 69 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

coordinated with the NTSB Major Investigations Division (AS-10). The NTSB coordinates with 

other agencies as necessary.

Who pays for victim recovery and identification costs? 

The costs related to victim recovery and identification can be high and are directly related to the 

number of victims, the condition of remains, and the medical examiner’s policies regarding 

identification of remains. Typically, the air carrier underwriter will pay reasonable costs for 

victim recovery and identification. However, the underwriter is not required to pay for such 

costs. As with any emergency response, the costs of the response are often shared among the 

local, State, and Federal agencies, in addition to the underwriter. 

What methods are used to identify aviation accident victims? Does the NTSB require that 

certain methods be used? 

Under their legal responsibilities, the medical examiner conducts victim identification and 

determines the cause and manner of death. Although there are no enforceable national standards 

in the forensic field for victim identification, the expectation by family members and society is 

that all reasonable methods will be used to complete identifications in a timely and professional 

manner. Biologically based methods (such as fingerprints, dental records, DNA, medical 

implants with unique serial numbers) are considered by courts of law as primary methods of 

positive identification. Other methods may result in a presumptive identification, and this 

information may lead to a positive identification.

How is antemortem information obtained from family members?

The medical examiner is responsible for obtaining medical record information from family 

members. However, in the event that the local jurisdiction does not have enough staff to 

interview family members, trained DMORT members can be used to assist the local jurisdiction 

in interviewing family members. DMORT and other agencies can also be used to collect 

antemortem DNA reference samples from family members. If reasonable, family members may 

be asked to bring the contact information of the decedent’s dentist and/or doctor when they travel 

to the FAC. 

Is the NTSB responsible for making positive identification of disaster victims? 

The medical examiner is responsible for making positive identification of victims. The NTSB 

can provide additional resources to assist the medical examiner. These resources include the 

DMORT team, the FBI Evidence Response Team, other FBI Laboratory assets and pertinent 

Department of Defense laboratories and personnel. 

How are personal effects (PE) managed? 

In general, PE are collected at the accident scene, catalogued, and cleaned to make them safe. If 

requested by the NOK, the item can be restored to its original condition. The goal of the PE 

process is to return all items to the family members in the condition they choose. 

There are three classes of PE: 

1. Associated PE are items recovered at the accident scene that are in physical contact with 

the victim’s remains (for instance, a wedding ring on a hand). The medical examiner has 

authority over the collection, chain of custody, and final disposition of these items. 
 - 70 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

Medical examiner staff or designated personnel (for instance, FBI ERT) document and 

collect associated PE during the recovery of human remains. Once collected, the medical 

examiner can transfer custody of the associated PE to a third party contracted by the air 

carrier to manage the overall PE process. The NOK decides when and whether 

associated PE is returned and provides instructions for the restoration of the items, if 

desired. 

2. Unassociated PE are not associated with remains and have no identifying information. 

Such items may include clothing, books, and toiletries. The air carrier has responsibility 

for the collection, processing, and return of unassociated PE to the NOK. Air carriers 

typically designate a contractor to take care of these responsibilities. The contractor also 

catalogues the items, and coordinates the restoration and return with the NOK. 

3. Unassociated PE containing identifying information (e.g. luggage with an 

identification tag) also fall under the responsibility of the air carrier and are processed 

accordingly. 

Are there additional resources available for a medical examiner responsible for managing the 

identification of decedents? 

Under the Federal Family Assistance Plan for Aviation Disasters, the NTSB coordinates and 

integrates the resources of the Federal Government to support the efforts of the local and State 

government. The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS—a division of the Department of 

Health and Human Services, Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response) is the primary 

Federal agency to support local jurisdictions responsible for victim identification. Other Federal 

agencies able to support victim identification are FBI Laboratory assets and the Department of 

Defense DNA Registry/Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory. 

Within the NDMS, the DMORT can conduct victim identification and associated mortuary 

activities. DMORT also has mobile morgues with specialized personnel to organize a morgue 

operation. The DMORT Family Assistance Center Team is available to interview family 

members to obtain antemortem information. 

Certain State and local jurisdictions also have disaster victim identification teams. Such teams 

are considered important in the victim identification process. 

The medical examiner should contact the NTSB TDA office through the NTSB Communications 

Center. TDA staff will inquire about the number of fatalities, the condition of the remains, the 

capabilities of the local jurisdiction to conduct victim recovery and identification and other 

pertinent information. Based on this discussion, the NTSB will request assistance from the 

Federal agencies with appropriate resources. 

What is the Portable Morgue Unit? 

The DMORT Portable Morgue Unit (DPMU) supports the processing and identification of 

accident fatalities. The DPMU contains prepackaged morgue supplies and equipment that can be 

set up in an existing facility. Transportable by truck or air, the DPMU is accompanied by a team 

that unpacks, organizes, restocks, and repacks the supplies and equipment. 
 - 71 - 

Federal Family Assistance Plan For Aviation Disasters 

Revised December 2008 

What is the FBI ERT? 

The FBI Evidence Response Team (ERT) is a group of trained and equipped FBI personnel 

specializing in organizing and conducting major evidence recovery operations. They manage the 

identification, collection, and preservation of evidence at crime scenes. In the case of aviation 

accidents, the ERTs are available to the NTSB to provide a standard level of scene 

documentation, mapping, photography, videography, and evidence/wreckage recovery. Each of 

the FBI’s fifty-six Field Offices has an ERT, consisting of 8 to 50 members. These teams train 

to develop and maintain their organizational and forensic skills; most have aviation disaster 

experience.

What is the FBI Disaster Squad? 

The FBI Disaster Squad is a team of trained experts in the area of fingerprint identification who 

can be activated to support the local medical examiner in the victim identification process. The 

FBI Disaster Squad has access to the FBI fingerprint database and is able to collect latent prints 

to assist in identification.

UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT 

Washington, DC 20415 

The Director 

The Honorable Trey Gowdy 

Chairman 

Committee on Oversight 

and Government Reform 

United States House of Representatives 

2157 Rayburn House Office Building 

Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

February 8, 2018 

Thank you for your letter dated December 8, 2017, requesting information regarding how and 

when the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issues guidance documents. OPM 

utilizes guidance documents to inform and educate Federal agencies and employees on hiring 

procedures, administration of health and other insurance programs, training and development, 

and oth~r management tools. In addition, OPM issues guidance to assist agencies with 

implementing new legislation or Governmentwide policies that relate to personnel issues. OPM 

also coordinates with other agencies on a number of Federal workforce matters, such as 

dismissal and closure procedures, furloughs, hurricane guidance, and workforce restructuring. 

In 2017, OPM formally created a Regulatory Reform Task Force (Task Force). While the Task 

Force is not required to review every guidance document under Executive Order 13 777, which 

establishes the Task Force's functions, OPM is taking action in accordance with the Executive 

Order. We expect that the Task Force will support OPM's Regulatory Reform Officer, as 

needed, in carrying out his or her responsibility under section 2 of Executive Order 13477 to 

oversee initiatives for "the termination consistent with applicable law, of programs and activities 

that derive from or implement ... guidance documents ... that have been rescinded." 

In response to your request for specific information, we have compiled the following list of 

guidance documents. OPM's guidance documents are publicly available, therefore we have 

provided the appropriate links to the documents. Where applicable, these policies may be sorted 

by date as requested by the Committee. The below links also contain additional requested 

information by the Committee.
