FRT training and Spill Management training are the two courses that are required by the Navy and Marine Corps. The course given to each activity depends on its precise requirements and needs for oil spill response. The two courses are described as follows:

3.1 FRP Training – This type of training is described in OPNAV M5090.1, Chapter 39-3.3(a), FRP Training. It is also known as FRT Training. The intent is to train Navy and Marine Corps personnel “on the safe use of [their facility’s oil spill response] equipment and in effective response techniques,” according to their facility’s FRP.

This training should be specific to a facility. Essentially, it should give the FRT the knowledge and skills it needs to execute the facility’s FRP.

This training should be in compliance with the requirements given in OPNAV M5090.1 Chapter 39.3(1), https://www.secnav.navy.mil/doni/SECNAV%20Manuals1/5090.1.pdf, and 29 CFR 1910.120. Appendix E of 29 CFR 1910.120 offers guidelines for FRP Training. Each student who successfully completes this training shall be given a written certification that he or she is qualified as a tier-one responder.

Qualified Individual (notification exercises are conducted to ensure the QI can be reached in an emergency to carry out their required duties. Emergency procedure exercises are performed to ensure personnel are capable of conducting the initial actions necessary to mitigate the effects of a spill.

Course offerings should instruct FRT members in the proper capability instruction to cover response to oil spills in harbors and near-shore environments to provide personnel assigned to the installation FRT with the basic skills needed to perform as a member of the FRT. FRT 5-day course offers one day of classroom training and four days of on-water practical training. FRT 3-day course offers one day of classroom training and two days of on-water practical training. Students gain an understanding of oil spills, regulations concerning their roles, the facility’s FRP, the Area Contingency Plan (ACP), and operating and applying all supplied equipment during a spill event. The safety subjects covered by this course meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements in 29 CFR 1910.120(q) for First Responder Operations Level and OPNAV M-5090.1E, Chapter 39.

3.1.1 Exercises: 40 CFR Part 112 subpart D requires facilities to train and exercise to be prepared to respond to oil spills. The final day of course, should include an exercise that is designed to test the team members in executing their local Facility Response Plan (FRP). On-water emphasis is to teach the FRT how to contain and recover oil on water as well as execute sensitive area protection strategies as outlined by facility plans. Exercise with the uses of Protective booming strategies must be developed, where feasible, and implemented for petroleum, oils, and lubricant transfer operations when any of these conditions exist: (a) Protective booming is required by law or regulation; (b) The nature or volumes of fuels to be transferred is of sufficient magnitude that prudent operational risk management indicates protective booming is required; (c) Environmentally sensitive areas are likely to be negatively impacted in the event of a spill; or (d) Potential spills could generate significant negative public perception or so adversely affect political relations with a host nation or local jurisdiction that continued port access may be jeopardized.

3.1.2 Operational Checks: Equipment deployment exercises should test equipment readiness, and ensure personnel who would normally deploy, and operate or supervise the operation of response equipment, are capable of doing so. Facility FRT equipment and personnel operational assessment course report should be completed and provided to the NAVSAFENVTRACEN Commanding Officer via the course manager and Executive Director no later than 7 working days following course completion.

3.1.3 Risk Assessment: The Contractor shall provide a written Risk Assessment for each class or training location to NAVSAFENVTRACEN Commanding Officer via the course manager. Additionally, if and when there is/are any change(s) impacting the Risk Assessment, notify NAVSAFENVTRACEN Commanding Officer via the course manager and Executive Director immediately or 24 hours prior to the evolution.

3.2 Spill Management Team Training – This type of training is described as follows in OPNAV M5090.1, Chapter 39-3.3(c), National Incident Management System Training: “All personnel assigned to an SMT shall receive an appropriate level of Incident Command System (ICS) training.” This course will provide personnel with the knowledge and skills to manage oil spill responses in compliance with applicable Federal, State, U.S. Coast Guard, and local regulations and statutes. The course should give students a practical understanding of their roles on the SMT and provide them with the knowledge to maintain an effective oil spill response program.

SMT tabletop exercises are conducted to ensure SMTs are familiar with the contingency plan and individual responsibilities assigned by the plan and able to use it effectively to conduct a spill response. A response plan lists different types of SMTs for varying spill sizes (ex, a local SMT for small spills, a regional team for larger spills, and a national team for major spills). The course should include a tabletop exercise simulating various spill incidents, requiring students to utilize pertinent spill response management techniques.

3.2.1 Accreditation Standards: The Government may seek accreditation through organizations such as the Council on Occupational Education (COE) and the American Council on Education (ACE) at some point in the near future. In that regard, Contractors must ensure that curriculum design and course development efforts adhere to ACE accreditation standards and will be available to assist the government in providing necessary documentation. Should the Government decide to pursue accreditation through these other organizations, such support from the Contractor shall be within the scope of this contract.

3.2.2 Course Content: Initial course content shall be developed by the Contractor. Each course should contain a discussion on safety, particularly the FRP course for first responders. Each on-water evolution should begin with a safety brief and risk assessment. Sensitive areas, defined in the activity’s FRP, should be discussed and visited during on-water training, with FRP spill response strategies being practiced.

Course content shall be reviewed annually by NAVSAFENVTRACEN and updated by the Contractor, if necessary after the review, to reflect current regulations and state-of-the-art spill response techniques and tactics. The Contractor shall incorporate the Instructional System Design (ISD) curriculum development process to follow the industry standard Plan, Analyze, Develop, Design, Implement, Evaluate, and Maintenance (PADDIE+M) approach per this PWS.
