The Air Force's Solution to CAA 118(d) Compliance

摘要

The Air Force chose to use a self-certification process which is facilitated by ECARS to demonstrate compliance with CAA 118(d). They have demonstrated that ECARS provides an electronic, uniform, and economical information management solution that largely automates the administration of their compliance program. As of February 2014, 38 Air Force facilities had activated ECARS to facilitate compliance with CAA 118(d). By the end of calendar year 2014 it is anticipated that all 63 affected facilities will have implemented ECARS, which will bringing the number of participants in the program to approximately 150,000. Experience indicates that participants complete the self-certification process on average in less than 3 minutes. When compared to traditional methods of compliance that required employees to visit an on base pass and ID office to furnish proof of emissions testing, the Air Force estimates a savings of over 200,000 man hours annually.
