Where would you file a Notice of Federal Interest (NOFI) in the system MISLE?

A Notice of Federal Interest (NOFI) is a document utilized by federal agencies to indicate interest in a particular response action related to pollution incidents. Filing a NOFI in the Correspondence section of the MISLE (Multi-Agency Incident Response System) ensures that it is appropriately logged alongside other related communications and documentation regarding the incident.

This section is designed to house all the correspondence related to the incident, which may include various documents, notifications, and formal communications pertinent to the case. By placing the NOFI here, it maintains a clear and organized record of all communications surrounding the pollution response, making it easier for agency personnel to review and track federal interests and actions related to the incident.

Filing in other sections, such as the Incident Report Section or Action Plan Area, would not be suitable as those sections have specific purposes focused on incident details or strategical responses rather than correspondence and formal notices. The Compliance Records Section is similarly focused on regulatory compliance rather than operational communications. Thus, the Correspondence section is the most fitting choice for filing a NOFI within the MISLE system.
