D. Primary Federal Agencies
The response to a terrorist threat or incident within the U.S. will entail
a highly coordinated, multi-agency local, State, and Federal response. In
support of this mission, the following primary Federal agencies will provide
the core Federal response:
- Department of Justice (DOJ) / Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) *
- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) **
- Department of Defense (DOD)
- Department of Energy (DOE)
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
* Lead Agency for Crisis Management
** Lead Agency for Consequence Management
Although not formally designated under the CONPLAN, other Federal
departments and agencies may have authorities, resources, capabilities, or
expertise required to support response operations. Agencies may be requested
to participate in Federal planning and response operations, and may be asked
to designate staff to function as liaison officers and provide other support
to the LFA.
