Authority

The Standardized Equipment List (SEL) is a publication of the InterAgency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and InterOperability.  The IAB is an advisory board to the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of Military Support, and consists of officials from various local, state, and federal government organizations.  The IAB is

commissioned by the Attorney General of the United States to ensure standardization and interoperability of equipment, and the research and development of advanced technologies, to assist First Responders at the state and local levels in establishing and maintaining a robust crisis and consequence management capability. 

Distribution Restriction

Distribution authorized to local, state, and federal government agencies only to protect technical or operational information from unrestricted dissemination.  This determination was made on 30 October 1998.  Other requests for this document will be addressed to the Consequence Management Program Integration Office,  (Attention: The InterAgency Board), Office of the Director of Military Support, Headquarters, Department of the Army, 400 Army Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20310-0400

 Preface

 

Today I would like to talk about another step forward in the Federal Government's efforts against terrorism.  When a terrorist act strikes the streets or rural areas of America, the first few minutes are very critical.   The first people on the scene are often local rescue squads, fire fighters and police.  They are on the front lines.  The situation is often chaotic and dangerous.

 

For many victims, what these first responders do in those first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death.   These first responders do so much. And we have seen them in action.  But they need to be supported by proper plans, training and equipment to do the job right.  The Federal Government must be a full partner in this effort.  And we need to make State and local governments a full partner in the planning effort, since they know what they need there at the front line. 

THE HONORABLE JANET RENO, ATTORNEY GENERAL

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1998

 

The United States of America is the most prepared nation amongst nations to combat terrorism.  Our country's ability to prepare for and respond to domestic weapons of mass destruction terrorism is unique and expansive.  In review of our existing infrastructure to deal with these types of asymmetrical threats, we realize that our robust capability can be stronger.  In past years, the front line has been overseas.  Today, the front line is our front door.  It is to this end that nation masses its strengths, talents, and resources in a dedicated and unified effort to combat domestic weapons of mass destruction terrorism.

Introduction

Success in deterring, preventing, preparing for and responding to a conventional or non-conventional weapon(s) of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist attack in the United States is based upon establishing and maintaining a robust crisis and consequence management infrastructure.  This capability must be adequately trained, equipped, exercised, funded, and capable of conducting response, relief, and recovery operations as part of the interagency team.

The InterAgency Board

In order to ensure equipment standardization and interoperability, the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of Military Support have chartered an annual board consisting of interagency officials from various local, state, and federal governments to establish, maintain, and update a national standardized equipment list (SEL) for use by the interagency community in preparing for and responding to WMD terrorism. 

The InterAgency Board (IAB) for Equipment Standardization and InterOperability meets periodically to review the SEL, analyze new science and technology, and validate requirements and performance standards. The IAB is co-chaired by the Department of Justice (DoJ) and Department of Defense (DoD), and organized into six SubGroups for

Medical; Personal Protective and Operational Equipment; Science and Technology; InterOperable Communications and Information Systems; Detection and Decontamination; and Standards.  Each SubGroup is chaired by a First Responder and consists of panels of subject matter experts specializing in their area of interest.

Standardized Equipment List (SEL)

The SEL is provided as a guideline and its use is voluntary.  First Responders are to review the SEL when developing and acquiring their WMD response equipment.  The SEL promotes interoperability and standardization among the response community at the local, state, and federal levels by presenting this standard reference. Individual government agencies dictate quantities of the items to be selected to meet the needs of their operational areas.  

Governing regulations, industry standards, and other ruling bodies apply.  Equipment for First Responder use must be in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).  Equipment for use by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) forces is governed by DoD Instruction 6055.1.  

The SEL will consist of several versions as the list matures and continues to be updated with newly fielded equipment.  As a consolidated reference, government organizations can present suggested references, at any time, for consideration to be included in the next version or annual update.

The IAB Process

The IAB Process—designed to ensure timely and aggressive updating of the SEL—is based on a quarterly cycle.  It begins with the IAB Fall Meeting, when the IAB conducts an Advanced Concepts and Technology Exchange (ACTE).  The ACTE is an information exchange to educate and update the IAB SubGroups on products and services.  Prior to the ACTE, a Request for Information (RFI) covering equipment, advanced technology, and professional services to support combating Domestic Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) terrorism is published.  Information is requested by the IAB in accordance with the provision in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.215-3-Solicitation for Information or Planning Purposes (APR 1984), as prescribed in FAR 15.402(c), 15.402(e), and 15.405. 

During the ACTE, those qualified organizations interested in supporting the government with the development of the SEL are afforded the opportunity to provide a verbal presentation to the applicable IAB SubGroup on the product or service that the organization promotes.  A short and open discussion of the product or service is held between the SubGroup and the sponsoring organization as a means to familiarize and educate both government and industry on the details of the product or service. 

All organizations presenting at the ACTE or those unable to attend may submit information packages of available equipment and initiatives.  The data collected during the ACTE is reviewed by the IAB and appropriately applied to the updating of the SEL for the coming year. 

The revised SEL is vetted prior to its publication during the Winter IAB meeting.  A Spring Meeting is held to receive and review reports from the SubGroups on SEL section updates.  At the Summer IAB Meeting, final planning for the ACTE occurs, with test and evaluation reports reviewed.  At the Fall Meeting, the IAB process concludes and begins the next cycle when the IAB conducts the next year’s ACTE.

Summary

This Standardized Equipment List (SEL) provides the First Responder a reference as to the type of equipment required to prepare for and respond to a WMD terrorist attack.  As mentioned earlier, the First Responder must determine exact quantities and items to be selected.  The use of the identified equipment can only be done safely after jurisdictions develop standardized operating procedures coupled with appropriate education and training.   

Just as important as the items on the SEL is the process by which the SEL continues to be developed.  The IAB process is an institutional mechanism designed to self-improve the SEL through a set repeating process that is connected from the local, through the state, to the federal-level.  The SEL is a national effort.  This list provides the InterAgency response community with a comprehensive standard from which to select.  It is the board’s approved list providing equipment standardization and promoting interoperability of equipment and capability.
