(1) Operztions of USNS WHEELING (TAGM-8) will generally be.in accordance with reference (a) and this MOA. Should there be a conflict as a result of conducting oper- ations in accordance with these two source documents, the provisions of reference (a) will apply while clarification and resolution is sougnz by the Project Manager. (2) The Project Manager will promulgate an appropriate Operations Directive in support of this MOA, subject to ‘approval by cognizent major DON operational commanders (COMSCPAC and COMNAVAIRPAC). 5. SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT. a. This MOA will apply to all DON, DOE and DOI resources assigned by the several parties to prepare for, undertake and complete the Aerial Radiological Survey of the Northern Marshall Islands. For the purposes of more precisely defining the dimensions of the logistics support package the DON anticipates providing to DOE, and to facilitate establishing accurate cost estimates for planning purposes, this MOA will be bounded as outlined herein. b. Phase I of survey operations will consist of aerial photographic missions of areas of interest to be defined by DOE. This phase will be limited to 300 EC-121 flight hours, including transits to and from the survey site. c. Phase II of the survey will be acccomplished by deploying the designated base support ship, USNS WHEELING (TAGM-8), with embarked SH-3G helicopter detachment, technical and support personnel to the Northern Marshall Isiands. Current plan is to limit USNS WHEELING (TAGM-8) The to 77_days on Station and 57 days in transit including transits to port for logistics replenishment and reprovisioning, or same reasonable combination thereoZ. While on station, a twelve-hour working day is agreed to, recognizing the resulting additional overtime costs. The Radiological Survey, as planned, will be further Limited to 556 total.flight hours for the assigned SH-3G helicopters, including those flight hours provided for predeployment training, transporting personnel and equipment ashore and for other administrative purposes as required. Upward adjustments to the foregoing limitations amounting to over 10% will require formal amendment of the MOA. a. Appendix I is an overview of the three (3) series (A, B and C) of. radiological missions that will constitute Phase II of the survey. At Appendix II is a framework schedule for the complete survey (Phases I and II). 9008974
