6. POLICY: It is the policy of the United States to have in place a comprehensive and effective
program to ensure continuity of essential Federal functions under all circumstances. To
support this policy the Federal Executive Branch has implemented the Continuity of
Operations (COOP) Program. COOP is defined as the activities of individual departments
and agencies and their sub-components to ensure that their essential functions are performed.
This includes plans and procedures that delineate essential functions; specify succession to
office and the emergency delegation of authority; provide for the safekeeping of vital records
and databases; identify alternate operating facilities; provide for interoperable
communications; and validate the capability through tests, training, and exercises. All
Federal agencies, regardless of location, shall have in place a viable COOP capability to
ensure continued performance of essential functions from alternate operating sites during any
emergency or situation that may disrupt normal operations.
7. BACKGROUND: COOP planning is simply a good business practice

fundamental mission of agencies as responsible and reliable public institutions. Today's
changing threat environment and the potential for no-notice emergencies, including localized
