Preface
This annex supports and amplifies the National
Plan for Civil Defense and Defense Mobilization, par-
ticularly Part VI, Section F, Management of Resources
After Attack on the Continental United States. It
outlines responsibilities for providing, purifying, and
safeguarding water for all essential purposes during
emergency, together with procedures for the emer-
gency operation of water resource facilities. Particular
attention is devoted to water for human consumption,
because potable water is essential for human survival.
Auxiliary documents will be issued as necessary
and will be subordinate to and compatible with this
annex and the National Plan.
The annex is published in looseleaf form in order
that pages may be added or replaced easily whenever
revisions are made.

ANNEX 32
NATIONAL WATER PLAN
I. Definitions
A. The term "water" is used in its commonly un-
derstood meaning. It includes potable water and all
other types which are essential to our national survival.
B. The term "water supply utility" includes public
water supply systems whether publicly or privately
owned and controlled.
II. Assumptions
A. Under conditions of international tension or
limited war, it is assumed that, with the water supply
è
systems of the Nation intact, requirements for water
DIMBER
for national defense and essential civilian needs would
onl
Liquiry
be met through the existing systems and any needed
expansions of them. Water supply utilities, private
organizations, and governments would perform their
customary functions with respect to operation and ex-
pansion of water supply systems, and in addition the
Federal Government would exercise its priority and
allocation authority to channel needed materials and
equipment for construction and operation of essential
water supply facilities involved.
¹See Annex 1, Planning Basis.
[1]
Annex 32
B. Under conditions of general war with attack
upon the continental United States, a major consequence
would be the shortage of water for human survival and
for production of essential goods and services upon
which the national survival would depend. Complete
disruption of water supply service could occur in at-
tacked cities. In many areas insufficient supplies for all
purposes would result from damages to water treatment
and control facilities and watershed areas. Physical
damage to water supply system facilities could range
from partial to complete destruction. Pumping stations
would become inoperable, water mains would be dam-
aged or destroyed, water pressures would drop greatly,
and there would be little capability to provide water
service in the wake of the attack. Fire caused by
thermal radiation would denude watersheds and lead to
subsequent erosion, reservoir or stream siltation, and
downstream damage from accelerated runoff.
C. Both the quality and quantity of public water
supplies would be adversely affected by the attack. This
would result from contamination of water by radioactive
fallout and from other damage caused by the blast
and thermal effects of the attack. Covert introduc-
tion of biological and chemical warfare agents into the
water supply system is also possible.
D. Immediately following attack the major water
supply problem would be to meet the water requirements
in habitable parts of attacked cities, in reception areas,
and in communities heavily impacted by evacuees.
Highest priority would be given to meeting the require-
ments for human consumption.
E. Postattack conditions might well require that
State and local governments, industry, and families and
individuals be self-sufficient for several weeks.
[2]
Annex 32
F. The tremendous damage and disruptions to
water supply systems resulting from an attack on the
continental United States probably would require sub-
stantial changes from normal peacetime responsibilities
and functions.
III. General Responsibilities
A. Federal
1. The Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization is
responsible for directing and coordinating Fed-
eral activities related to water resources for

B. State
Each State, through its health agency, is respon-
sible for supervising the health aspects of public water
supplies within its borders. The health agency or other
appropriate State agency is responsible for standards
of quality and approval of construction plans for water
supply utilities. These agencies will provide leadership
and technical assistance to local water supply utilities
through normal working relationships in preattack plan-
ning and training and will coordinate plans for post-
attack emergency operations on a statewide basis.
The State agency or agencies responsible for con-
trol of State water resources will plan for the use of
State-controlled waters in emergency.
C. Local
Local government is responsible for assuring ade-
quate and safe supplies of water for essential purposes
in an emergency. Under the direction of the local gov-
ernment, the water supply utility, whether publicly or
privately owned and operated, is directly responsible
for protecting and providing public water supplies in an
emergency.' Water supply facilities shall be prepared
⁶Utility boards or other State agencies have been given this respon-
sibility in a few States.
'Approximately 20 percent of the water supply utilities of the United
States are privately owned and operated.
[6]
Annex 32
to operate independently for at least one month, includ-
ing reliance upon locally available stocks of water-
purification chemicals and equipment. The local health
and public works agencies are responsible for guidance
and assistance to the water supply utility in maintaining
the safety and purity of water supplies and in construc-
tion and repair of the water supply system.
D. Private Organizations
Industries having their own independent water
systems should make provisions for emergency supplies
in order to maintain essential services and production of
survival items, such as food and food processing, during
the immediate postattack period.
In preattack planning and organization, such
groups as the American Waterworks Association, Water
Pollution Control Federation, American Society of Civil
Engineers, and other nongovernmental organizations
have a responsibility to assist official agencies.
E. Individuals
Each person or family is responsible for providing,
a
before attack, sufficient water for essential domestic
Dwight
needs for at least two weeks, since outside assistance
BILL
may not be available and water service, particularly
that dependent upon electric power, may be curtailed.

Preface
This annex supports and amplifies the National
Plan for Civil Defense and Defense Mobilization, par-
ticularly Part VI, Section F, Management of Resources
after Attack on the Continental United States. While
major attention is devoted to actions by Federal, State,
and local governments, and by industry, in dealing with
the complex problems of general war, the annex also
covers actions required in limited war or under condi-
tions of international tension short of actual war. It
distinguishes between the tasks to be performed by the
different agencies of the Federal Government and,
within the Federal Government, between actions to be
taken at the national level and in the field. Also, in
describing responsibilities and functions of State and
local governments and of industry, it provides a basis
for planning, so that operations in isolated areas
will be consistent with each other and with national
D. Elsenhown /
BUA
objectives.
The annex consists of four major divisions. Part
One, Electric Power, is concerned with the generation,
transmission, distribution, and use of electric power.
Part Two, Petroleum and Gas, deals with the production,
refining, processing, transmission, storage, and distri-
bution of petroleum and petroleum products, and of
natural and manufactured gas, and the production of
petrochemicals by petroleum and gas companies and in
petroleum facilities-excluding carbon black, ammonia,
[iii]
and synthetic rubber. Part Three, Solid Fuels, deals
with the production of solid fuels, including coal chemi-
cals recovered in the coke-making process, and also the
distribution and use of these products, except coal chemi-
cals, which are governed by Annex 28, Management of
Emergency Production. Part Four, Minerals, is de-
voted to the production and processing of minerals,
including measures for channeling the flow of minerals
in process, whereas the subsequent production and the
distribution of finished shapes and forms of metal and
the distribution of processed mineral commodities for
industrial consumption are covered in Annex 28. Each
part sets forth the responsibilities and organization per-
tinent to its subject and the measures by which these
responsibilities will be carried out under different emer-
gency conditions.
Auxiliary documents will be issued as necessary and
will be subordinate to and compatible with this annex
and the National Plan.
The annex is published in looseleaf form in order
that pages may be added or replaced easily whenever
revisions are made.

ANNEX 33
NATIONAL ENERGY AND
MINERALS PLAN
Part One: Electric Power
I. Definition
Electric power, for the purpose of this annex, in-
cludes all electric power capability, whether govern-
ment-owned (Federal, State, or local), cooperative,
investor-owned, or industrial, except those plants at
0
military bases and Atomic Energy Commission installa-
Dwight
tions which are both owned and operated by the Federal
THE
Government.
II. Assumptions
In a general war with nuclear attack on the United
States the severe consequences would include:
A. Heavy damage to electric power generating
plants and widespread disruption of transmission lines.
B. The denial of access to many areas, as a result of
radioactive fallout, making difficult the task of opera-
tion, repair, and reconstruction.
C. The impossibility of central direction in many
areas in the postattack period, with the result that the
effectiveness and self-sufficiency of operations would be
dependent on clear predelegation of authority to field
officials and general understanding and acceptance of
policies and standards.
¹See Annex 1, Planning Basis.

Annex 33
III. General Responsibilities in Emergencies
A. Federal Government
The Federal Government has primary responsibility
for the availability of electric power sufficient to meet
essential uses in periods of international tension and in
limited or general war.
1. During periods of international tension or in
limited war the Federal Government, through
the Department of the Interior, is responsible
for continuously reviewing electric power ca-
pacity in relation to requirements. Interior shall
make recommendations to OCDM and imple-
ment OCDM-approved programs designed to
reduce or eliminate potential shortages in elec-
tric power.
2. During general war the Federal Government is
responsible for guidance, direction, and coordi-
nation of the total effort to make available an
adequate supply of electric power to meet all es-
sential needs. In executing these responsibili-
ties the Department of the Interior, subject to the
policy direction and coordination of OCDM, shall
plan, direct, and control the operations of the
electric power industry and its facilities.
3. In carrying out the responsibilities for planning,
directing, and controlling the operations of the
electric power industry and its facilities, the Sec-
retary of the Interior shall provide by delegation
or otherwise as he shall specify for the conduct by
the Federal Power Commission of certain func-
tions within the general scope of the Commis-
sion's competence, statutory authority, and
[2]
Annex 33
other assigned responsibilities, and shall make
use of the Commission's specialized services and
records.
B. State and Local Governments
1. State governments are responsibile for cooperat-
ing with the Federal Government in developing
and carrying out emergency plans. Under
conditions of general war State governments
will exercise priority authority over the use of
electric power when requested by affected local
governments or utilities or in other appropriate
circumstances.
2. Local governments are responsible for cooperat-
ing with the Federal and State governments in
developing and carrying out emergency plans.
Under conditions of general war local govern-
ments will exercise priority authority over the
.
Eisenhower
use of electric power within their jurisdictions.
Dwight
3. Such exercise of authority by State and local
PUL
HISTORY
governments shall be made within policy direc-
tives issued by OCDM defining essentiality of
use.²
C. Electric Utilities
Electric utilities are responsible for providing elec-
tric power, within their capabilities, for essential uses.
In carrying out this responsibility they shall comply
with orders and directions of the Federal, State, and
local governments within their respective jurisdictions.
²Annex 35, Emergency Administration of Essential Facilities, states
in broad terms essential uses to which facilities and resources may be
put after attack. OCDM national and regional offices may additionally,
by orders, directions, or instructions, provide priority guidance or rela-
tive urgencies.
[3]
Annex 33
B. Special Conditions of Electric Power Industry
Electric power generating plants are dispersed
throughout the United States. Generating plants of
an electric utility are usually connected by transmission
lines and operate as a single integrated system. In
turn, several utility systems may be interconnected. In
many cases, these interconnected systems form power
pools, and dispatching is usually from a single point to
provide efficiency and economy in operation. The area
served by a utility, interconnected system, or power
pool is largely determined by the location of load (pop-
ulation and industry) and economy in generation. Con-
sequently, the established service area of an individual
utility, interconnected system, or power pool frequently
does not coincide with local, State, or OCDM regional
boundaries. Because of these circumstances, effective
operational control cannot be established through the
direction provided by OCDM regional offices or by local
or State governments.
C. Field Organization
To meet these conditions 16 defense electric power
The Dwight 0.
areas (see Map No. 1) have been established. Each
area is based on existing power pools and interconnected
systems and is headed by an Area Power Director, who
is an employee of the Department of the Interior. To
effect coordination in planning and execution of plans,
each Area Power Director has assigned liaison person-
nel, drawn from the utilities, to each affected local and
State government. Also, power liaison personnel, who
are or will be Department of Interior employees, are
assigned to each OCDM regional office. All liaison per-
sonnel will report automatically to designated locations
in the event of an attack, and will advise and assist Fed-
eral, regional, State, and local officials, as appropriate,
on all matters pertaining to electric power.

VI. Actions During Increased International
Tension or in Limited War
In a situation of increased international tension or
in limited war the steps to be taken, as well as the extent
to which field representatives of the Department of the
Interior will become operational, will depend on orders
to be approved at the time the emergency is declared.
Even under conditions not involving an attack on the
United States, centralized Federal direction and control
of all activities may be necessary. During this period
the measures taken by the Federal Government would
not directly affect or involve action by State or local
governments. Under such conditions accordingly, In-
terior, acting under OCDM policy direction and coordi-
nation and in consultation with the electric power indus-
try, would take some or all of the following actions:
A. Make continuous load and capability studies.
D.
B. Activate field organizations as required.
Dwight

C. Direct the allocation of electric power to essen-
tial uses.
D. Issue to the industry through Area Power Di-
rectors such directives respecting other electric power
matters as the situation may warrant.
E. Determine needs for additional electric power,
recommend to OCDM establishment of programs for
needed increases in capacity, and make recommenda-
tions with respect to financial incentives.
F. Serve as claimant for the electric power indus-
try in meeting its needs for materials and equipment,
and allot to electric utilities materials and equipment
allocated to electric power programs.
[7]
Annex 33
G. Within the authority granted by the Federal
agency responsible for the allocation of construction
materials, issue construction authorizations for new and
expanded facilities as required.
H. Work with appropriate agencies in obtaining
and retaining manpower and facilities for the electric
power industry.
VII. Actions in General War
A. Electric Utilities
Electric utilities will:
1. Comply, within their capabilities, with requests
from local, State, and Federal officials for sup-
ply of electric power for essential uses.
2. Activate power liaison personnel with local and
State governments.
3. Invoke mutual aid agreements between utilities
when necessary.
4. Call on other utilities and pool members in the
electric power area for needed equipment, inven-
tory items, and skilled manpower.
5. Report damage, total remaining capability, and
total demand to the Area Power Director.
6. If power is not available to meet all demands for
essential uses, including essential uses of mili-
tary and AEC installations, request the Area
Power Director to order curtailment of nones-
sential uses within the area, and at the same
time notify the affected government headquar-
ters through the liaison representative so that
government may enforce curtailment of nones-
sential uses within the area.
[8]
Annex 33
7. If, after curtailment, supply of power is not suf-
ficient to serve all essential uses, including those
of military and AEC installations, obtain deci-
sion on priority of use and allocate power as
follows:
a. If the conflict for power is within the jurisdic-
tion of a single local government, present in-
formation respecting the power available and
the conflicting demands to the local govern-
ment official for his decision.
b. In the event the conflicting requests are
spread over two or more local governmental
jurisdictions within a State, obtain decision
on priority of use of power from the State
government. The request for decision may
be made by the affected utility through the
Area Power Director, if necessary, or by an
affected local jurisdiction. The decision will
be directed to the utility for action, with in-
à
formation to the affected jurisdictions.
DIMBILI
OHL
C. Should the conflict cross State lines, obtain
decision on priority of use of power from the
OCDM regional office. The request for deci-
sion may be made by the affected utility
through the Area Power Director, if neces-
sary, or by a State government. The decision
will be directed to the affected utility or utili-
ties for action with information to the affected
States.
8. If electric service cannot be provided to an area
with safety, disconnect all power supply to that
area.
[9]
Annex 33
B. State and Local Governments
State and local governments will:
1. Consult on all electric power matters with the ap-
propriate electric power liaison representative.
2. Inform utilities or the Area Power Director
through the power liaison representative of es-
sential power needs which must be met.
3. If power is not available to meet all essential
uses, determine priority of power among users
within the particular jurisdiction or, if the con-
flict affects users in another jurisdiction, refer
the matter to the next higher level of govern-
ment. The decision will be directed to the af-
fected utility for action, with information to the
affected jurisdiction.
4. Issue, as necessary, curtailment orders respect-
ing nonessential uses, and cooperate in the
enforcement of curtailment orders issued by a
higher authority (Federal or State).
5. In the immediate postattack period direct and
assist in emergency restoration and repair to
serve essential uses.
6. Permit electric utilities to retain for their use
their wholly owned communication facilities, or
those leased for their exclusive use, subject to
such regulations as the Federal Government may
promulgate.
7. Forward, as requested, to the next higher level
of government, damage reports on power fa-
cilities.
C. Federal Government
1. Each Area Power Director will:
a. Order curtailment of nonessential uses when
necessary to comply with the determinations
[10 ]
Annex 33
of State and local governments and the OCDM
regional office with respect to making power
available for essential uses. (Enforcement
will be by State and local governments.)
b. Advise Interior national headquarters, and
the proper OCDM regional office, of damage
to electric power facilities and the availability
or shortage of electric power in his area.
c. If necessary, encourage utilities to establish
interconnections; if utilities involved do not
act, refer the problem to Interior national
headquarters.

Dwight
DEPARTMENT
BILL
II. Assumptions 3
In a general war with nuclear attack on the United
States, the severe consequences would include:
A. Heavy damage to petroleum refineries, tetra-
ethyl lead facilities, petroleum storage facilities, and
port facilities, and disruption of petroleum pipeline op-
erations and gas distribution.
B. The denial of access to many areas, as a result
of radioactive fallout, making difficult the task of oper-
ation, repair, and reconstruction.
C. The probable lack of central direction in many
areas in the postattack period, with the result that the
effectiveness and self-sufficiency of operations would
See Annex 1, Planning Basis.
[13]
Annex 33
be dependent on clear predelegation of authority to field
officials and general understanding and acceptance of
policies and standards.
III. General Responsibilities in Emergencies
A. Federal Government
The Federal Government has primary responsibil-
ity for the availability of petroleum, gas, and petro-
chemicals sufficient to meet essential uses in periods of
international tension and in limited or general war.
1. During periods of international tension or in
limited war the Federal Government, through
the Department of the Interior, is responsible
for continuously reviewing supplies and produc-
tive capacity in relation to requirements. Inter-
ior shall make recommendations to OCDM and
implement OCDM-approved programs designed
to reduce or eliminate potential shortages.
2. During general war the Federal Government is
responsible for guidance, direction, and coordi-
nation of the total effort to make available ade-
quate supplies to meet all essential needs. In
executing these responsibilities the Department
of the Interior, subject to the policy direction and
coordination of OCDM, shall plan, direct, and
control the operations of the petroleum, gas, and
petrochemical industries and their facilities, as
follows:
a. Operational direction and control of the pe-
troleum industry includes petroleum and nat-
ural gasoline production, refining, pipeline
The Department of the Interior has jurisdiction over the production
of petrochemicals. The distribution of petrochemicals is under the juris-
diction of the Department of Commerce and governed by Annex 28,
Management of Emergency Production.
[14]
Annex 33
operations, storage and replenishment of
primary inventories, and allocation and dis-
tribution from primary inventories, whether
to secondary inventories" or direct to consum-
ers (usually but not necessarily consumers,
such as military and AEC installations and in-
dustrial plants, which are supplied by tanker
or barge or have a tie-in to petroleum pipe-
lines). Interior's operational direction and
control does not extend to storage of or
allocation and distribution from secondary
inventories.
b. Operational direction and control of the gas
industry includes production, processing,
transmission, underground storage, and allo-
cation to local utilities. It also includes al-
.
location direct to consumers, such as military
Dwight
and AEC installations and industrial plants,
141
having a direct tie-in to gas transmission
lines. Interior's operational direction and
control does not extend to distribution of gas
by local utilities.
c. Operational direction and control of the pet-
rochemical industry includes production of
petrochemicals.
⁵Primary inventories are all crudes, natural gasolines, and unfinished
oils, and those petroleum products in storage at refineries or at bulk ter-
minals supplied primarily by pipeline, tanker, or barge and preponder-
antly distributed to bulk plants or large consumers. Stocks in transit from
or to a primary storage terminal are included as primary inventories.
"Secondary inventories are those petroleum products in storage at
(1) bulk plants supplied primarily by tank car, tank truck, or barge rather
than by pipeline or tanker, and preponderantly distributed to retailers,
industrial accounts, farmers, and individual smaller consumers; (2)
service stations, jobbers, or other small users having petroleum stocks in
bulk storage; and (3) refineries where segregated for exclusive delivery
to consumers listed in (2).
Military stocks are secondary inventories, but not available for dis-
tribution for nonmilitary uses except by agreement with the military
authorities.
[15]
Annex 33
d. In those cases where it allocates petroleum
products or natural gas direct to consumers,
rather than to secondary petroleum inven-
tories or to local gas utilities, Interior shall
be guided by OCDM policy directives defining
essentiality of use and by any specific direc-
tives or orders of OCDM regional offices. In
making any such direct allocations to con-
sumers, Interior's field offices shall, to avoid
duplication, consult with State and local gov-
ernments with respect to amounts available
to such consumers from secondary petroleum
inventories or local gas utilities.
3. In carrying out the responsibilities for planning,
directing, and controlling the operations of the
natural gas industry, the Secretary of the In-
terior shall provide by delegation or otherwise
as he shall specify for the conduct by the Fed-
eral Power Commission of certain functions
within the general scope of the Commission's
competence, statutory authority, and other as-
signed responsibilities and shall make use of the
Commission's specialized services and records.
B. State and Local Governments
1. State and local governments are responsible for
cooperating with the Federal Government in
developing and carrying out emergency plans.
2. Local governments under conditions of general
war will exercise priority and allocation author-
ity over petroleum products in secondary inven-
tories and over gas distribution by local utilities.
When, however, petroleum or gas is insufficient
to meet all essential uses and the conflict in-
volves two or more local jurisdictions, the State
[16]
Annex 33
government will exercise such priority and allo-
cation authority.
3. In the exercise of such priority and allocation
authority, State and local governments will com-
ply with OCDM policy directives defining essen-
tiality of use.⁷
C. Petroleum, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries
Petroleum, gas, and petrochemical companies are
responsible, within their capabilities, for meeting es-
sential requirements.
IV. Preattack Planning Responsibilities
A. In preattack planning the Department of the
Interior, as the agency responsible in an emergency for
direction and control of the petroleum, gas, and petro-
chemical industries, is responsible for:
1. Coordinating with each State the plans of the
Federal and State governments for civil defense
D.
and defense mobilization with respect to petro-

leum and gas.
BILL
2. Assisting each State in developing an organiza-
tion capable of meeting the emergency respon-
sibilities of the State and its political subdivi-
sions with respect to petroleum and gas.
3. Initiating and completing a study in each State,
in cooperation with the State government, to
identify the preattack location and capacity of
all primary and secondary petroleum storage
within the State.
Annex 35, Emergency Administration of Essential Facilities, states
in broad terms essential uses to which facilities and resources may be put
after attack. OCDM national and regional offices may additionally, by
orders, directions, or instructions, provide priority guidance or relative
urgencies.
[ 17 ]
Annex 33
4. Initiating and completing plans with each State
to determine the circumstances under which
some stocks of primary inventories may be
made available for essential uses to augment in-
adequate secondary supplies.
B. All such preattack planning and studies will be
undertaken after consultation and in coordination with
the applicable OCDM regional office.
C. The petroleum, gas, and petrochemical indus-
tries, in order to achieve maximum preemergency
readiness, will cooperate with and provide all possible as-
sistance to Federal, State, and local governments in de-
veloping emergency plans.
V. Organization
A. General
The Secretary of the Interior, under delegation
from the President and the Director of the Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization, has assigned mobilization
planning for petroleum, gas, and petrochemicals to the
Office of Oil and Gas, a staff unit under the Assistant
Secretary for Mineral Resources. The Office of Oil and
Gas is the nucleus of the Federal emergency organiza-
tion at the national level which will, through regional,
State, and local field offices, provide operational direction
and control of these industries in an emergency.
B. Special Conditions of Petroleum and Gas Industries
In normal times petroleum and gas move freely
throughout the United States. Many areas that con-
sume large quantities of these products are largely, or
even totally, without indigenous supplies. In the case
of petroleum, these conditions also prevail in the rest
of the Free World. To achieve distribution of avail-
able supplies of petroleum and gas to areas and
[18]
Annex 33
purposes of greatest need, it is necessary in a period of
national emergency that operations be directed by a
Federal agency functioning on a centralized basis, inso-
far as conditions permit.
A nationwide network of pipelines moves crude oil
to refineries and marine terminals, and petroleum
products and natural gas to consuming areas. These
pipelines, which cross State boundaries and OCDM re-
gional boundaries, are vital to the provision of adequate
supplies of petroleum products and gas in most areas
of the United States. Pipeline, refinery, storage, and
distribution operations are interdependent. Damage
to, or operational stoppage of, any such facility at one
point in the system often requires quick adjustments
elsewhere to prevent waste or danger of fire and explo-
sion. For these reasons, petroleum and gas operations
must be controlled on an interstate, systemwide basis
and by a Federal agency having overall responsibility
for petroleum and gas supply.
In emergencies, supplies of oil and natural gas
D.
from foreign areas may be of great importance to the
United States and more particularly to its allies. Fur-
BUL
thermore, all operations of the petroleum industry
throughout the Free World will have to be coordinated
to achieve maximum efficient utilization of available
facilities. For these reasons the Office of Oil and Gas,
Department of the Interior, will take into account the
petroleum resources and requirements of all nations of
the Free World in its mobilization planning and, in any
emergency, will discharge the responsibilities of the
United States for the mobilization of these foreign
petroleum resources and facilities. With respect to
foreign supplies and requirements, the mobilization
function will be performed in cooperation with repre-
sentatives of affected foreign nations, and will be con-
[19]
Annex 33
sistent with United States international arrangements,
foreign policy guidance of the Department of State, and
general policies established by OCDM.
C. Field Organization
A standby Federal organization of key personnel,
drawn from the petroleum, gas, and petrochemical in-
dustries to operate at regional, State, and local levels,
is being established by the Office of Oil and Gas, Depart-
ment of the Interior, and will be activated to the degree
necessary to meet the emergency. These key people
will report automatically to predesignated locations in
the event of an attack and upon assuming their duties
will become employees of the Department of the
Interior.
In the event of a general war, the field offices to be
activated will be:
1. Regional offices in the eight OCDM regions, each
such office to be in the same locality as the OCDM
regional office and each to cover a region with the
same boundaries as the OCDM office with which
it is associated. (See Map No. 2.)
2. State offices in all States, each in the same lo-
cality as the State government's headquarters
for emergency operations.
3. Local offices, where the importance of petroleum
and gas facilities and operations in the area
warrants their establishment.
The head of each field office will advise and assist
OCDM regional offices and State and local govern-
ments, as appropriate, on all matters pertaining to pe-
troleum and gas and to the production of petrochemicals
and, in the event communication with higher headquar-
ters is impossible, will exercise with respect to these in-
dustries in his area the powers of the Secretary of the

VI. Actions During Increased International
Tension or in Limited War
In a situation of increased international tension
or in limited war the steps to be taken, as well as the
extent to which the Department of the Interior's field
representatives for petroleum and gas will become op-
erational, will depend on the situation at the time the
emergency is declared. Even under conditions not in-
volving an attack on the United States, centralized
Federal direction and control of petroleum, gas, and pet-
rochemical activities may be necessary. During this
period the measures taken by the Federal Government
would not directly affect or involve actions by State and
local governments. Under such conditions accord-
ingly, Interior, acting under OCDM policy direction and
coordination, would take some or all of the following
actions:
A. Bring the national organization to the strength
required to meet the degree of emergency, and activate
the field organization to the extent required.
B. Make continuous studies of existing and pros-
pective supplies of petroleum, gas, and petrochemicals
available to meet current needs and possible require-
ments of an emergency of greater magnitude.
C. Determine petroleum and gas requirements and
direct operations of the industries to the extent neces-
sary to meet those requirements. Cooperate with State
regulatory bodies to assure production and related
transportation of petroleum and gas in necessary
quantities.
[ 22 ]
Annex 33
D. Direct the production of the petrochemical in-
dustry to the extent necessary to meet requirements
determined by the Department of Commerce.
E. Recommend to OCDM programs for any needed
increases in capacity of petroleum, gas, and petrochem-
ical facilities.
F. In connection with such programs, make rec-
ommendations to OCDM with respect to financial aids
and incentives.
G. Under approved programs submit requests to
appropriate agencies for materials and equipment
needed by the petroleum, gas, and petrochemical indus-
tries and make allotments to these industries.
H. Within the authority granted by the appropri-
ate Federal agency responsible for the allocation of
construction materials, issue construction authoriza-
tions for petroleum, gas, and petrochemical facilities.
I. Arrange through responsible agencies for
D.
needed rail, highway, inland waterway, and ocean trans-
Dwight
port facilities and port facilities.
THE
J. Request assistance in retaining or obtaining
manpower to accomplish petroleum, gas, and petro-
chemical programs.
K. Recommend to the responsible agency that ad-
justments be made in price, wage, or rationing controls
if such controls have been invoked and are adversely
affecting supplies of petroleum, gas, and petrochemicals
needed to meet requirements.
L. Subject to the foreign policy guidance of the
Department of State, and in consultation with other
interested agencies and appropriate nations, where
foreign supplies and requirements are involved, estab-
lish and administer programs for the mobilization of
[23 ]
Annex 33
petroleum and natural gas resources in support of the
war effort of the United States and its allies.
VII. Actions in General War
In general war with nuclear attack on the United
States, the actions listed below will be taken. To the
extent feasible, these actions, in the initial postattack
period, will be in accord with orders and directives
previously issued by OCDM, including those providing
priority guidance or relative urgencies of use, and those
issued by the Department of the Interior. When com-
munications between successive levels of government
are restored, actions at the lower level may be subject to
modification or change by the next higher level.
A. Petroleum, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries
The petroleum and gas industries will endeavor to
produce, and to distribute to points where needed, ade-
quate quantities of their products to meet all essential
needs, in accordance with orders and directions of the
Federal, State, and local governments within their re-
spective jurisdictions. The petrochemical industry will
endeavor to produce adequate quantities to meet essen-
tial needs in accordance with orders and directions of
the Federal Government.
B. Local Governments
Each local government will:
1. Stop all deliveries of petroleum products from
secondary inventories, including service stations,
except for such amounts as the local government
may allocate to the most important emergency
uses, such as ambulances, police and fire vehicles,
heating of hospitals, and military installations.
Similarly allocate to the most important emer-
gency uses gas available to local utilities. As
[24]
Annex 33
availability of supply permits, progressively
broaden allocations of petroleum from second-
ary inventories and gas from local utilities for
essential uses, so far as possible resolving con-
flicts between essential local users on the basis
of OCDM policy directives providing priority
guidance or relative urgencies, or specific orders
or instructions consistent therewith issued by the
State government.
2. Consult with Interior's local office for petroleum
and gas (or, if none has been set up, with Inter-
ior's State office) respecting petroleum and gas
matters, including requirements and available
supply.
3. Keep the State government informed of princi-
pal commitments of petroleum and gas re-
sources in the local jurisdiction, of shortages
and surpluses of supply, and of the needs, if pres-
ent, for replenishment of supplies from primary
petroleum inventories.
4. Forward to the State government damage re-
ports on petroleum, gas, and petrochemical
facilities.
5. If secondary supplies within its purview are in-
sufficient to meet absolute minimum essential
0
needs, including any requirements placed by the
military or AEC on such supplies, ask the State
Dwight
BUL
LISTED
government for help in obtaining needed sup-
plies, presenting data on the supply-require-
ments position and conflicting demands.
6. Permit petroleum and gas companies to retain
for their use their wholly owned communication
facilities, and those leased for their exclusive
use, subject to such regulations as the Federal
Government may promulgate.
[25]
Annex 33
7. In the immediate postattack period, prior to
institution of Federal rationing or conservation,
cooperate with the State government in carry-
ing out State orders with respect to rationing or
conservation at the consumer level of petroleum
products and natural gas. In the event that it
is not feasible at the State level to direct such
rationing or conservation, or the locality is out
of contact with the State government, issue
orders with respect thereto at the local level.
Such actions and orders should be consistent
with predetermined national policy with respect
to essentiality of use.
C. State Governments
Each State government will:
1. Consult on petroleum and gas matters with In-
terior's State office for petroleum and gas.
2. Keep the OCDM regional office informed of the
principal commitments of petroleum and gas
supplies within the State or across State lines
and of shortages and surpluses within the State.
3. Forward to the OCDM regional office damage re-
ports on petroleum, gas, and petrochemical
facilities.
4. Resolve conflicts in essential demand, including
those of the military and AEC, which can be
met from secondary petroleum inventories or
from local gas utilities. Allocate available sup-
plies from such sources, insuring insofar as pos-
sible that sufficient supplies of petroleum and
gas are applied to the most essential uses, as
determined by policy directives of OCDM na-
tional or regional offices providing priority guid-
ance or relative urgencies. Insofar as essential
[ 26 ]
Annex 33
demands cannot be met from secondary petro-
leum inventories or local gas utilities, present
to Interior's State office for petroleum and gas
the facts affecting the urgency of releasing
petroleum products from primary inventories
and natural gas in transmission lines and in
underground storage.
5. In case of conflicting demands for available
supplies, involving more than one State, refer
the problem and supporting data to the OCDM
regional office for decision.
6. Permit petroleum and gas companies to retain
for their own use their wholly owned commu-
nication facilities and those leased for their ex-
clusive use, subject to such regulations as the
Federal Government may promulgate.
7. In the postattack period, prior to institution of
Federal rationing and conservation, issue orders
for the rationing and conservation at the con-
sumer level of petroleum products and natural
gas, and advise representatives of Interior and
local governments on actions taken and respon-
sibilities of State and local governments for
enforcement.

where feasible.
b. In the case of crude oil and petroleum prod-
ucts en route by inland waterways or over-
land transportation to facilities made inop-
erable by the attack, request the appropriate
transportation agency to divert to safe areas
and, if possible, to areas where needed.
C. In the case of ocean tankers which have to
be diverted by the Maritime Administration
because of damage to the port of original
destination, advise the Maritime Adminis-
tration as to alternate ports or offshore dis-
charge facilities which can accommodate
and unload the tankers.
d. Determine loss of primary storage capacity
for crude oil and petroleum products and
quantities of each product available in un-
damaged tanks. Assess damage to other
petroleum facilities and to gas and petro-
chemical facilities, and determine remaining
capabilities. Report to the next higher In-
terior office for petroleum and gas, to the
OCDM regional office, and to the applicable
State or local government.
e. Direct operation of surviving facilities-
such as refineries; natural-gasoline plants;
facilities for the manufacture of gas, tetra-
ethyl lead, catalysts, and petrochemicals;
pipelines (including interconnections and
conversions); and storage facilities-in or-
der to supply petroleum, gas, and petrochem-
icals in sufficient quantities to meet essential
requirements.
[28]
Annex 33
f. Allocate petroleum products from primary
inventories to secondary inventories, and to
military and AEC installations and indus-
trial plants served directly from primary in-
ventories. Allocate gas from transmission
lines and underground storage to local utili-
ties, and to military and AEC installations
and industrial plants served directly by such
transmission lines. In all such allocations,
insure insofar as possible that sufficient sup-
plies of petroleum and gas will be available
for, or are applied to, the most essential uses
as determined by policy directives of OCDM
national or regional offices providing priority
guidance or relative urgencies.
g. At the regional level, analyze shortages and
conflicts in demand as presented by State
governments, make determinations of such
conflicts as can be resolved by application of
priority guidance or relative urgencies there-
tofore supplied by OCDM's national or re-
gional offices, and make allocations accord-
ingly. Present to the OCDM regional office
D.
for decision those conflicts which cannot be
Dwight
resolved by application of such priority guid-

ance or relative urgencies.
h. Advise and assist OCDM regional offices and
State and local governments, as appropriate,
respecting petroleum and gas matters, in-
cluding plans for replenishment of secondary
stocks of petroleum products and for making
gas available to local utilities, as well as in-
formation available to Interior's field office
respecting current petroleum stocks in sec-
ondary inventories.
[ 29 ]
Annex 33
i. Advise OCDM regional offices and State and
local governments concerning supply avail-
ability in connection with rationing or con-
servation programs which should be put into
effect to alleviate local shortages. (State and
local governments will be responsible for
rationing petroleum products to consumers
in the initial period following the attack.
Later, when the rationing or conservation
program is administered by a Federal
agency, Interior will advise that agency con-
cerning the adequacy of supplies.)
j. Request appropriate transportation agencies
to assist in obtaining needed rail, highway,
inland waterway, and ocean transport facili-
ties and port facilities.
k. To effect emergency repair of petroleum,

power, materials, and equipment to Interior
national headquarters or, in event commu-
nications are not open, to the OCDM regional
office.
2. National Headquarters-The national head-
quarters of the Department of the Interior for
petroleum and gas, when national control is ef-
fective, and with assistance from the field offices
where needed, will:
a. Issue orders implementing OCDM policy di-
rectives governing the use of petroleum and
gas.

SILL
and to military and AEC installations and in-
dustrial plants served directly by such trans-
mission lines. In all such allocations, insure
insofar as possible that sufficient supplies of
petroleum and gas will be available at sec-
ondary petroleum inventories or local gas
utilities for, or are applied direct to, the most
essential uses as determined by policy direc-
tives of OCDM providing priority guidance
or relative urgencies.
d. Estimate the surviving capability of petro-
leum, gas, and petrochemical industries. As

port of the recovery and war effort of the
United States and its allies.
[33]
Part Three: Solid Fuels
I. Definitions
A. Solid fuels, for the purposes of this annex, in-
clude all anthracite, bituminous coal, lignite, briquettes,
and beehive and byproduct coke.
B. Coal chemicals, for the purposes of this annex,
means those chemicals recovered in the manufacture
of coke.
II. Assumptions
In a general war with nuclear attack on the United
States, the severe consequences would include:
A. Heavy damage to some production facilities,
to byproduct coke plants, and to all forms of trans-
portation.
B. The denial of access to many areas, as a result
of radioactive fallout, making difficult the task of op-
eration, repair, and reconstruction.
C. The impossibility of central direction in many
areas in the postattack period, with the result that the
effectiveness and self-sufficiency of operations will be
dependent on clear predelegation of authority to field
officials and general understanding and acceptance of
policies and standards.
⁸See Annex 1, Planning Basis.
[34]
Annex 33
III. General Responsibilities in Emergencies
A. Federal Government
The Federal Government has primary responsi-
bility for the supply of solid fuels and coal chemicals in
sufficient quantity to meet essential uses in periods of
international tension and in limited or general war.
1. During periods of international tension or in
limited war the Federal Government, through
the Department of the Interior, is responsible
for continuously reviewing supplies and pro-
ductive capacity of solid fuels and coal chemicals
in relation to requirements. Interior shall make
recommendations to OCDM and implement
OCDM-approved programs designed to reduce
or eliminate potential shortages in solid fuels
and coal chemicals.
D.
Elsenhow
2. During general war the Federal Government is
Dwight
responsible for guidance, direction, and coordi-
onl
nation of the total effort to make available an
adequate supply of solid fuels and coal chemi-
cals to meet all essential needs. In executing
these responsibilities the Department of the In-
terior, subject to the policy direction and coordi-
nation of OCDM, shall plan, direct, and control
all phases of the production of solid fuels and
coal chemicals and also the distribution of solid
fuels within the following categories:
a. All undistributed stocks of solid fuels at the
mines or other primary source of supply.
The Department of the Interior has jurisdiction over the production
of coal chemicals recovered in the coke-making process. The distribution
of such coal chemicals is under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Commerce and governed by Annex 28, Management of Emergency Pro-
duction.
[35]
Annex 33
b. All solid fuels produced subsequent to the oc-
currence of the emergency.
C. All solid fuels in transit by common carrier.
3. The Department of the Interior, through its
solid fuels field organization, shall draw upon
the above-listed sources and direct or redirect
shipments to fill approved requests for solid
fuels for essential uses received from State and
local governments. Shipments pursuant to such
approved requests shall be made either to des-
ignated locations for redistribution as directed
by local governments or direct to consumers.
B. State and Local Governments
1. State and local governments are responsible for
cooperating with the Federal Government in
developing and carrying out emergency plans
and for supporting its policies and directives.
2. State and local governments are responsible
for insuring that to the fullest possible extent
solid fuels are made available to the most es-
sential uses.
3. The distribution and uses of solid fuels deliv-
ered prior to the emergency and of solid fuels
subsequently made available to designated lo-
cations in accordance with the procedures de-
scribed in Subsection III.A.3 above are pri-
marily the responsibility of the applicable local
government.
4. When, however, supplies of solid fuels are in-
sufficient to meet all essential uses and the
conflict involves two or more localities within a
State, the State government will assume re-
sponsibility for determining the priority of use
and will direct allocation.
[36]
Annex 33
5. In the exercise of their authority respecting
priority of use and allocation, State and local
governments will comply with OCDM policy di-
rectives defining essentiality of use¹⁰ and also,
in the case of local governments, with any
specific directions or orders of the State
government.
C. Solid Fuels Industries
The solid fuels industries are responsible, within
their capabilities, for meeting essential requirements
for solid fuels. In carrying out their responsibility they
shall comply with orders and directions of the Federal,
State, and local governments within their respective
jurisdictions.
IV. Preattack Planning Responsibilities
A. In preattack planning, the Department of the
Interior, as the agency responsible in an emergency for
D.
direction and control of the solid fuels industries, is
Dwight
ADDRESS
responsible for:
BUL
1. Coordinating with each State the plans of the
Federal and State governments for civil de-
fense and defense mobilization with respect to
solid fuels.
2. Assisting each State in developing an organiza-
tion capable of meeting the emergency respon-
sibilities of the State and its political subdivi-
sions with respect to solid fuels.
B. All such preattack planning will be undertaken
after consultation and in coordination with the applica-
ble OCDM regional office.
10 Annex 35, Emergency Administration of Essential Facilities, states
in broad terms essential uses to which facilities and resources may be put
after attack. OCDM national and regional offices may additionally, by
orders, directions, or instructions, provide priority guidance or relative
urgencies.
[37]
Annex 33
V. Organization
A. General
To carry out his responsibilities with respect to
the production of solid fuels and coal chemicals and the
distribution and use of solid fuels in an emergency, the
Secretary of the Interior, under delegation from the
President and the Director of the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization, has established a standby or-
ganization which will be activated to the degree neces-
sary to meet any emergency. The nucleus of the Federal
organization is a part of the staff of the Office of Min-
erals Mobilization in the Office of the Assistant Secre-
tary for Mineral Resources, Department of the Interior.
This staff, working under the policy direction and co-
ordination of OCDM, and in close cooperation with the
solid fuels industries, is responsible for planning neces-
sary to achieve maximum readiness under any type of
emergency.
B. Special Conditions of the Solid Fuels Industries
Bituminous coal and lignite are produced in many
areas of the country, while anthracite is produced com-
mercially only in eastern Pennsylvania. Although bi-
tuminous coal and lignite production facilities are wide-
spread geographically, production is centered in 23
specific districts. Each district consists of a group of
mines producing coals of generally similar quality and
served by a transportation system which permits these
coals to be marketed competitively in certain common
markets. Groups of producers in each district main-
tain or are affiliated with associations which deal with
the problems common to that district. The pattern of
these producing districts has existed unchanged for
many years. (See Map No. 3.)

The
Dwight
Annex 33
In only a few States do the boundaries of the pro-
ducing districts correspond to the State boundaries. In
some instances, the districts include all or parts of two
or more States, while in others the boundaries of a
single State include all or parts of several producing
districts. Producing districts do not necessarily coin-
cide with either State or OCDM regional boundaries.
Due to these circumstances, effective operational con-
trol cannot be established to conform with the geo-
graphical boundaries of OCDM Regions or States.
Facilities for the production of byproduct coke and
coal chemicals are located close to centers of steel pro-
duction. The production of beehive coke is concentrated
in Pennsylvania, with a few scattered operations in
other States. The American Iron and Steel Institute
has divided the United States into six steel-producing
districts, and this geographical breakdown is used by
the Department of the Interior for mobilization plan-
ning for coke and coal chemicals. These districts,
which have been used by the iron and steel industry for
many years, do not coincide with either State or
OCDM regional boundaries. (See Map No. 4.)
C. Organization of Producing Districts-Solid Fuels
Distribution Managers" 11
To meet these conditions Interior has selected
from the solid fuels industries persons who in an
emergency will become Federal employees responsible
for the control of the production of solid fuels and coal
chemicals and the distribution and use of all solid
fuels, except those aspects of distribution for which
State and local governments are responsible as set forth
in Section III.B above. Each such person will serve as
"Formerly designated Area Distribution Managers.

ducing district.
D. Solid Fuels Liaison Representatives
To provide a point of contact with the solid fuels
organization of the Department of the Interior for each
State, whether or not the State is a producer of solid
fuels, Interior will have a Solid Fuels Liaison Repre-
sentative at each OCDM regional office. When a request
from a State government for a supply of solid fuels
is received and approved by an OCDM regional office,
the Solid Fuels Liaison Representative will then con-
tact the appropriate Solid Fuels Distribution Manager
and arrange for shipment. The liaison representative
will be available for consultation with other govern-
ment officials and will represent Interior in the jurisdic-
tion to which he is appointed.
E. Local Emergency Solid Fuels Committees
1. Local Emergency Solid Fuels Committees will
be established to assist and advise local gov-
ernment authorities in determining the kind
and quantity of solid fuels required during an
emergency, and the sources from which such
supplies are normally obtained. It is intended
to form Local Emergency Solid Fuels Commit-
tees for all localities which are considered
likely to be targets of enemy attack² or to be
adjacent to such targets. Such committees will
also be created in other areas if specifically re-
quested by the State government. Members of
these committees must be familiar with the sale,
¹²Target categories are defined in Annex 1, Planning Basis.
[42]
Annex 33
D. State Governments
Each State government will:
1. Comply with all orders, rules, regulations, and
requests of Federal authorities.
2. Submit information on available stocks to the
OCDM regional office.
3. Submit requirements for solid fuels to the OCDM
regional office.
4. Insure allocation of available supplies to es-
sential uses.
5. Pending institution of Federal rationing and
conservation programs, issue orders for ration-
ing and conservation of solid fuels and advise
representatives of Interior and local govern-
ments of the actions taken.
E. Solid Fuels Liaison Representatives at OCDM Regional
Offices
Solid Fuels Liaison Representatives at OCDM re-
gional offices will:
a
1. Act as advisers to OCDM Regional Directors
Dwight
on all matters pertaining to solid fuels.
THE
L
2. Compile information received on stocks and re-
quirements and report to Interior national
headquarters.
3. In response to requests from State authorities
for assistance in obtaining supplies of solid
fuels, submit approved requirements to the ap-
propriate Solid Fuels Distribution Manager for
action.
F. Solid Fuels Distribution Managers
Solid Fuels Distribution Managers will:
1. Prepare estimates on available productive ca-
pacity within their respective areas and advise
[ 47 ]
Annex 33
distribution, and use of solid fuels in the respec-
tive areas in which the committees will serve.
They will be selected and appointed in a manner
prescribed by the government of the State in
which they will serve. Although Interior will
assist in the establishment of such committees,
they will operate in emergencies as advisory
groups serving local and State governments and
not as parts of Interior's field organization for
solid fuels.
2. Requests for solid fuels supplies originated by
the local government will be routed, through
channels established by agreement between
each State government and Interior, to the
OCDM regional office or, if the agreement be-
tween a State government and Interior so pro-
vides, directly to the appropriate Solid Fuels
Distribution Manager. This latter provision is
D.
limited to situations where the requirement for
Dwight
solid fuels is to be met from sources within the
THE
STORE
State in which the request originates.
VI. Actions During Increased International
Tension or in Limited War
In a situation of increased international tension
or in limited war the steps to be taken, as well as the
extent to which the Department of the Interior's field
representatives for solid fuels will become operational,
will depend on the situation at the time the emergency
is declared. Even under conditions not involving an
attack on the United States, centralized Federal direc-
tion and control of solid fuels resources may be neces-
sary. During this period the actions taken by the
[43]
Annex 33
Federal Government would not directly affect or in-
volve actions by State and local governments. Under
such conditions accordingly, Interior, acting under
OCDM policy direction and coordination, would take
some or all of the following actions:
A. Bring headquarters and field organizations to
strength required to meet the degree of emergency.
B. Make continuous studies of requirements for
solid fuels and production capabilities.
C. Control production of solid fuels and coal chem-
icals and the distribution and use of solid fuels.
D. Recommend to OCDM establishment of pro-
grams for any needed increase in capacity for produc-
tion, or in supplies, of solid fuels or coal chemicals.
E. In connection with such programs, make rec-
ommendations to OCDM with respect to applications
for available financial aids and incentives.
F. Submit to appropriate agencies requests for
materials and equipment needed for the solid fuels
industries.
G. Allot to solid fuels industries materials and
equipment allocated to solid fuels programs.
H. Within the authority granted by the Federal
agency responsible for the allocation of construction
materials, issue authorizations to producers of solid
fuels and coal chemicals for construction projects.
I. Present to appropriate agencies claims for
needed rail, highway, inland waterway, and ocean trans-
port facilities and port facilities.
J. Request assistance in obtaining or retaining
manpower to carry out solid fuels programs.
K. Recommend to the responsible agency that ad-
justments be made in price, wage, or rationing controls
[44]
Annex 33
if such controls have been invoked and are adversely
affecting the supply of solid fuels needed to meet
requirements.
L. In consultation with other interested agencies
and in accordance with existing policies, establish and
administer programs for the mobilization of solid
fuels resources in support of the war effort of the
United States and its allies.
VII. Actions in General War
In a general war situation with nuclear attack on
the United States, the actions listed below will be
taken. To the extent feasible, these actions, in the ini-
tial postattack period, will be in accord with orders and
directives previously issued by OCDM, including those
providing priority guidance or relative urgencies of
use, and those issued by the Department of the Inter-
ior. When communications between successive levels
of government are restored, actions at the lower level
will be subject to modification or change by the next
D.
Eisenha
higher level.
841
A. Producers of Solid Fuels
Producers of solid fuels will:
1. Comply with the respective orders, directions,
and requests of Federal, State, and local
authorities.
2. Report production capabilities to the Solid Fuels
Distribution Manager.
3. Submit to the Solid Fuels Distribution Manager,
upon his request, requirements for materials
and equipment needed for maintenance, repairs,
and operations.
[45]
Annex 33
4. Comply with requests to prepare for shipment
the maximum quantity obtainable of sizes of

Part Four: Minerals
I. Definition
Minerals, for the purposes of this annex, are all
raw materials of mineral origin (except petroleum, gas,
solid fuels, and source materials as defined in the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended) obtained by mining
and like operations and processed through certain
stages, at certain types of facilities, as indicated below.
The responsibilities and functions covered in this
annex include those pertaining to exploration, develop-
ment, mining and like operations, concentration, bene-
ficiation, and certain other processing, such as smelting
and refining." Such processes are required, in differ-
ing combinations and degrees, to bring nonmetallic
minerals to the stage where they are ready for use di-
rectly in construction or for industrial consumer use,
and to bring metallic minerals to the stage where they
are ready to enter a series of processes leading to out-
put of finished shapes and forms of metal. These stages
mark the point at which the control authority of the
Department of the Interior in an emergency would end
and at which the commodities and subsequent produc-
tion facilities would be subject to control by the Depart-
ment of Commerce, which is responsible for production
of manufactured goods.¹⁴
13 Appendix 1 of Part Four of this annex will include the agreement
between the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Commerce
specifying, for each of the numerous mineral commodities, the stages of
processing and the types of facilities to which their respective civil defense
and defense mobilization responsibilities pertain.
¹⁴See Annex 28, Management of Emergency Production.
[ 52 ]
Annex 33
II. Assumptions
The initial demand for essential survival items
after an attack would be reflected most immediately in
demand for metal in finished shapes and forms, as dis-
tinguished from mineral raw materials, for the manu-
facture of consumer goods. Because of the existence of
large stocks of minerals, any loss in mineral produc-
tion or processing capacity would not be an immediate
limiting factor in production of essential survival items.
Sufficient recovery of the minerals industries and
essential transportation facilities is expected to be ac-
complished in time to furnish minerals to consuming
plants as needed. In exceptional cases, special effort
might be required to provide a mineral supply to a par-
ticular plant whose output of finished material would
be urgently needed during the survival period, soon
after an attack. Generally, however, the need for pro-
duction, processing, and delivery of minerals would
come primarily after the survival period had passed-
D. Elsenhown you
SHA
when industrial production is being progressively re-
stored and reconstruction is under way.
III. General Responsibilities
The Federal Government has the responsibility for
development and promulgation of plans to assure the
availability of minerals in sufficient quantities to meet
essential uses in periods of international tension and in
limited or general war.
Since minerals, excepting the few used directly in
construction and repair (sand, gravel, and stone),
would not be required for survival activities during the
See Annex 1, Planning Basis.
[ 53 ]
Annex 33
immediate postattack period, the responsibilities as-
signed to State and local governments with respect to
mineral supply pertain only to those minerals used di-
rectly in construction and repair. In addition, their
planning should include preemergency arrangements
with the managements in the minerals industries re-
specting use of the industries' manpower and equip-
ment for civil defense purposes in an immediate post-
attack period and, also, provision of supporting services
to facilities of those industries later when production
would be needed.
A. Federal Government
1. During periods of international tension or in
limited war the Federal Government, through
the Department of the Interior in consultation
with industry, is responsible for continuously
reviewing the supply and requirements situation
in the field of minerals. Interior shall make rec-
ommendations to OCDM, as need is indicated,
for programs to assure an adequate supply of
minerals to meet all essential requirements.
OCDM-approved programs shall be implemented
by its delegate agencies, including Interior, each
as appropriate to the delegated functions it
performs. State and local governments would
not be involved in actions taken.
2. During general war the Federal Government is
responsible for guidance, direction, and coordi-
nation of the total effort to make available an
adequate supply of minerals to meet all essen-
tial needs. All determinations and directions
with respect to the use and allocation of min-
erals (except those noted in sections B and C
[54]
Annex 33
below), releases from Federal stockpiles, and
the operations of mines and mineral-processing
facilities are the responsibility of the Federal
Government, unshared with State and local
governments.
B. State Governments
Although minerals used directly in construction
and repair (sand, gravel, and stone) are, like all other
minerals, subject to allocation by the Federal Govern-
ment, it is recognized that in the early period following
a devastating attack States and their political subdi-
visions might find it necessary to allocate such materials
for emergency construction, including repairs immedi-
ately required for human survival.¹⁶
If in such a period the supplies of these particular
minerals are insufficient to meet needs for such emer-
gency construction within a State and the competing
a
demands involve two or more localities, the State gov-
Dwight
ernment will allocate, for purposes of construction, the
941
supplies of these minerals within the State. In making
such allocations, State governments will comply with
OCDM's policy directives defining essentiality of use"
and with any specific directions or orders of OCDM re-
gional offices.
State governments are responsible for cooperating
with the Federal Government and supporting its policies
and directives with respect to minerals.
C. Local Governments
In a postattack period local governments may al-
locate locally available supplies of sand, gravel, and
¹⁶See Annex 28, Management of Emergency Production, for other
Federal controls on construction materials.
"See Annex 35, Emergency Administration of Essential Facilities,
for statement on objectives to be accorded priority after attack.
[55]
Annex 33
stone for emergency construction, including repairs,
immediately required for human survival. In making
such allocations local governments will comply with
OCDM policy directives defining essentiality of use and
with any specific directions or orders of the State
government.
Local governments are responsible for cooperat-
ing with the Federal Government and supporting its
policies and directives with respect to minerals.
D. Minerals Industries
The minerals industries are responsible, within
their capabilities, for providing their products for es-
sential uses and for working in cooperation with Fed-
eral, State, and local governments. The mining industry
particularly has equipment and skilled manpower which
would be very helpful to State and local governments
in disaster services following an attack. These indus-
tries will cooperate with State and local governments
in developing plans for such use of equipment and
manpower, which plans should provide for retention of
enough to keep mines in safe and operable condition.
IV. Organization
A. General
To carry out his civil defense and defense mobiliza-
tion responsibilities with respect to minerals, the Sec-
retary of the Interior has assigned mobilization plan-
ning for minerals to the Office of Minerals Mobiliza-
tion, a staff unit under the Assistant Secretary for
Mineral Resources. A part of the staff of this office is
the nucleus of the organization which would provide
operational direction and control of the minerals in-
dustries in an emergency. Persons currently engaged
[56]
Annex 33
in these industries have been enrolled as executive
reservists to fill positions in this organization in event
of an emergency.
The Office of Minerals Mobilization, working under
the policy direction and coordination of OCDM and in
close cooperation with the minerals industries, is re-
sponsible for the necessary planning to achieve maxi-
mum readiness in periods of international tension and
in limited or general war.
B. Special Conditions of the Minerals Industries
Mining and mineral-processing facilities in the
United States are widely dispersed. For the most part,
these facilities are located at a considerable distance
from major industrial centers, although certain smelt-
ers and refineries are in such centers.
Excepting a few used directly in construction and
repair, minerals are industrial raw materials rather
0.
than consumer goods. Hence, in emergencies as well
DIME
as in normal times, mining and mineral processing
BUL
AMOUNT
must be closely meshed with operations of industries
consuming minerals.
It is customary for mineral-processing and con-
suming plants to maintain relatively large working
stocks of mineral raw materials. For this reason, most
of these could continue to operate without immediate
replenishment of such stocks. In addition to these nor-
mal stocks, there are very substantial quantities of
strategic and critical materials in Federal stockpiles
which have been accumulated for, and would be re-
leased in, an emergency.
The number and variety of minerals needed for
this Nation's industrial production are indicated by the
fact that in the national stockpile alone, acquired to
meet objectives established under the Strategic and
[ 57 ]
Annex 33
Critical Materials Stock Piling Act, there are 53 metals
and minerals. The inventories of nearly all of these
commodities in this stockpile already equal or exceed
the quantity deemed adequate for purposes of this
country's common defense in time of national emer-
gency. Additional quantities of a number of metals and
minerals are available in other Federal inventories ac-
quired under other acts. In addition to the mineral com-
modities represented in these stockpiles, there are many
essential minerals, such as iron ore, which are not stock-
piled by the Federal Government.
The various minerals, including both those which
are stockpiled and those which are not, would have dif-
fering degrees of essentiality and importance in a post-
attack period. The relative need for each would depend
upon the particular pattern of industrial production
surviving, or to be restored, and the production and
construction programs established.
C. Field Organization
In event of general war or other emergency call-
ing for activation of an emergency field organization
for minerals, Interior will have mineral liaison repre-
sentation at each of the eight OCDM regional offices.
The representatives will be predesignated personnel,
some of whom are executive reservists, who will become
Federal employees in an emergency, and some of whom
are current, full-time employees of the Department of
the Interior.
V. Actions During Increased International
Tension or in Limited War
In a situation of increased international tension
or in limited war the steps to be taken, as well as the
[58]
Annex 33
extent to which the Department of the Interior's re-
gional representatives for minerals will become op-
erational, will depend on the situation at the time the
emergency is declared. Even under conditions not in-
volving an attack on the United States, centralized
Federal direction and control of minerals resources
may be necessary. During this period the actions taken
by the Federal Government would not directly affect
or involve actions by State and local governments. Un-
der such conditions accordingly, Interior, acting under
OCDM policy direction and coordination, would take
some or all of the following actions:
A. Bring headquarters and regional organiza-
tions to the strength required to meet the degree of
emergency.
B. Make continuous studies of requirements for
minerals and supply capabilities, including production
and stockpiles.
D.
Dwing
C. Control production and processing of minerals,
BUL
including allocation of minerals in process.
D. As research findings or market availabilities
offer opportunities, recommend to OCDM special pro-
grams by which completion of any unfilled stockpile
objectives for strategic and critical minerals might be
accelerated.
E. With the Department of Commerce, advise
OCDM and the General Services Administration, cus-
todian of the national stockpiles of strategic and critical
minerals, concerning changes in location of mineral-
processing facilities or patterns of use of minerals which
should be considered in the continuing program to
minimize vulnerability of stockpile locations.
[ 59 ]
Annex 33
F. Recommend to OCDM establishment of pro-
grams for increases in capacity of production or proc-
essing facilities, or in output of existing facilities, to
obtain needed quantities of any minerals for which new
military requirements, coupled with essential civilian
requirements, currently or in the foreseeable future
would exceed available supplies, including those por-
tions of stockpiles which can be prudently released.
G. In connection with such programs, make rec-
ommendations to OCDM with respect to applications
for available financial aids and incentives.
H. Submit to appropriate agencies requests for
materials and equipment needed for the minerals
industries.
I. Allot to producers and processors of minerals
the materials and equipment allocated to minerals
programs.
J. Within the authority granted by the Federal
agency responsible for the allocation of construction
materials, issue construction authorizations to produc-
ers and processors of minerals.
K. Present to appropriate agencies claims for
needed rail, highway, inland waterway, and ocean trans-
port facilities and port facilities.
L. Request assistance in obtaining or retaining
manpower to carry out minerals programs.
M. Recommend to the responsible agency that
adjustments be made in price, wage, or rationing con-
trols if such controls have been invoked and are ad-
versely affecting supply of minerals needed to meet
requirements.
N. Continue the domestic exploration program ad-
ministered by the Office of Minerals Exploration, De-
partment of the Interior, placing increasing emphasis
[60]
Annex 33
on the search for those strategic and critical minerals
which may be in short supply.
VI. Actions in General War18
A. State and Local Governments
State and local governments will:
1. Call upon the minerals industries for manpower
and equipment, if necessary, for immediate
postattack disaster services in accordance with
preemergency plans developed with manage-
ments of minerals facilities, and in the case of
States, with local governments in whose areas
the facilities are located. (Sufficient manpower
and equipment should be left at mines and
plants to keep these facilities in safe and oper-
able condition.)
2. Allocate locally available supplies of sand,
STATES Dwight 0.
gravel, and stone for emergency construction
TUE
and repair, subject to the conditions stated in

minerals facilities are no longer needed for
disaster services, promptly return them to the
facilities from which they were drawn.
4. Cooperate in providing supporting services to
those minerals facilities whose production is de-
termined by the Federal Government to be
essential, either under policy directives issued
by OCDM prior to attack or by virtue of Fed-
eral orders issued after attack.
¹⁸See Annex 35, Emergency Administration of Essential Facilities.

concerning releases of certain minerals and
metals in such stockpiles which he should
[62]
Annex 33
authorize GSA to make in order to sustain
operation of individual plants, within the
purview of the Department of Commerce,
which are capable of producing goods of the
kind urgently needed during the survival
period, soon after an attack. As to any min-
erals in stockpiles requiring further proc-
essing in facilities within Interior's purview,
Interior's regional liaison representative for
minerals will prepare recommendations to the
OCDM Regional Director.
f. Administer, within their respective regions,
those exploration projects which were being
carried on under the Office of Minerals Ex-
ploration prior to the attack, curtailing op-
erations as necessary to provide manpower
and equipment for civil defense purposes.
