(b) Step 2 - Determine the severity of the hazard by considering the threats the OE poses to

personnel and property. Hazard severity categories are defined to provide a qualitative measure

of the worst credible event resulting from personnel exposure to various types and quantities of

UXO. The five hazard severity categories are: catastrophic, critical, marginal, negligible, and

none.

(c) Step 3 - Determine the probability of the hazard by considering the type and amount of

OE likely to be encountered, suspected condition/ease of initiation, accessibility, and the degree

of current and anticipated personnel activity which could create situations for contact. The

hazard probability descriptions are: frequent, probable, occasional, remote, and improbable.

(d) Step 4 - The hazard severity and hazard probability are considered together to determine

the RAC score for the site. This score is used to prioritize response actions as follows:

RAC 1 - Expedite the INPR, recommend further action by the OE MCX, immediately

contact the OE Safety Manager if a TCRA situation exists.

RAC 2 - Give high priority to completion of the INPR, recommend further action by the

OE MCX.

RAC 3 - Complete the INPR, recommend further action by the OE MCX.

RAC 4 - Complete the INPR, recommend further action by the OE MCX.

RAC 5 - Usually indicates that NDAI is necessary. Submit NDAI and RAC to the OE

MCX.

e. INPR Review and Approval Process.

(1) The INPR must be reviewed by the district OC prior to submittal to the MSC. If a

project also involves HTRW or is a potentially responsible party project, the INPR must also be

reviewed by the appropriate HTRW Design District and reviewed for technical content by the

HTRW MCX.

(2) The MSC must forward an OE INPR to the OE MCX. The OE MCX is responsible for

returning the OE INPR, with project recommendations, within 20 days of receipt to the MSC for

approval.

(3) If a project is approved, the MSC will prepare an INPR Approval Memorandum. The

INPR Approval Memorandum authorizes the project eligibility and initiation of ROE, easement,

or other access agreement negotiation. Additional information regarding landowner notification

and access agreements is included in Chapter 3 of this pamphlet.
