SEAT Base Operating Plan.
A SEAT Base Operating Plan (SEAT-Plan-001) is required for any
SEAT base categorized as a level II through IV. The plan must be
available to all personnel at the base. The SEMG will ensure the
operating plan is updated during the time frame they are assigned to the
base. A blank SEAT-Plan-001 form can be found on the BLM National
SEAT Web Site at:

IX. SEAT Base Security.
A. Aircraft Security.
The SEAT pilot is responsible for the security of their aircraft,
vehicles and associated equipment used in SEAT operations. SEATs
are required by contract to be physically secured via a dual-lock
method whenever the aircraft is unattended. The contract outlines the
type of acceptable locking devices and methods that can be utilized
by the contractor.
SEMGs should remind the contractor to engage their security devices
when the SEAT is unattended.
B. SEAT Base Facilities.
The using agency is responsible for ensuring the proper level of risk
assessment has been made for utilizing the facilities as a SEAT base.
The SEMG is responsible for report any acts or situations that they
perceive as a possible security threat to the base.
