ECATS Information
 
Welcome to the Environmental Compliance and Awareness Training Survey (ECATS).
 
ECATS is a "tool" which can be used by commanders and supervisors to determine the environmental training "requirements" of their assigned personnel. The program is highly user friendly and was designed specifically for use by non-computer experts. It determines training requirements without regard to military occupational specialty (MOS) or job series. It can be used by uniformed and non-uniformed employees and by contractors.
 
ECATS determines environmental related training "mandated" by Federal Law (i.e. 29, 40 and 49 CFRs). Many environmental related courses are required by state or local laws and regulations; by installation or activity Standard Operating Procedures (SOP); or, are considered required training in accordance with best management practices established by commanders or supervisors. Those responsible for environmental training are encouraged to use their best judgment in determining environmental training requirements not identified by ECATS.
