The Independent Contractor Network (ICN) represents a cornerstone of NRC’s response resource base for rivers/canals, Inland, Nearshore, Offshore and Open Ocean environments. It is a pre-screened group of contractors that have been selected as ICN Participants by NRC after a thorough audit of their individual resources and capabilities. Collectively, ICN Participants contribute to a networking structure, enabling NRC to cascade massive numbers of personnel and equipment to a response effort.  On average NRC maintains contracts with over 120 plus ICN members with offices located throughout the United States.

Many of these ICN Participants have taken physical possession of the NRC-owned spill response equipment. They store and help maintain the equipment, and in the event of a spill, they provide operators to mobilize, deploy and operate the equipment as directed by the spill manager through NRC.

ICN Participants also contribute a variety of support equipment such as pumps, generators, lighting systems, transportation assets and more. Materials such as sorbents, personal protective clothing, hand tools, spare parts, and other consumables are available in sufficient quantities within the ICN network.

NRC has executed contractual agreements with each ICN contractor. Published rate schedules, equipment lists and insurance criteria become a part of the contract.
