OSPR - ICS Forms

For drills and exercises, OSPR requires certain federal Incident Command System (ICS) forms be utilized to be eligible for credit. Below is a list of ICS forms required by 14 CCR § 820.1, which became effective January 1, 2023. These forms must be utilized pursuant to 14 CCR § 820.1(k)(2) to be eligible for credit.

When specific forms are not required by 14 CCR § 820.1, plan holders may choose to utilize other versions of ICS forms, including those made available by federal agencies that may serve as the Federal On-Scene Coordinator.

During actual spills, OSPR recommends utilizing ICS forms from the Federal On-Scene Coordinator to support personnel managing a response and completing an incident action plan.
