<strong>Single</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> <strong>Air</strong>tanker Program Request for Revision Form<br />
Submission of Revisions/Suggestions Protocol<br />
The <strong>National</strong> <strong>Single</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> <strong>Air</strong>tanker (SEAT) program has been consistently<br />
increasing in use and complexity over the last several years. SEATs are now<br />
being utilized in many different fuel types, elevations and a variety of aerial<br />
operations.<br />
In order to maintain standards and develop a strong interagency program that<br />
focuses on safe, efficient and effective SEAT operations, it has become<br />
necessary to establish a protocol to incorporate and evaluate new ideas.<br />
All suggestions, revisions or new ideas must be documented and submitted on<br />
the attached form (Attachment A: <strong>Single</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> <strong>Air</strong>tanker Program: Request<br />
for Revision Form).<br />
The form must be submitted to the BLM <strong>National</strong> SEAT Program Manager<br />
through a state or regional level aviation officer, depending upon agency<br />
structure. Submitting the form through a state or regional level aviation officer<br />
provides the oversight to help ensure that the request benefits the entire SEAT<br />
program.<br />
Request forms will be evaluated at the end of each year by a committee<br />
appointed by the BLM SEAT Program Manager and approved by the<br />
<strong>Interagency</strong> SEAT Board.<br />
The appointed committee will provide their recommendations to the BLM<br />
SEAT Program Manager for incorporating the suggestion or changes into the<br />
SEAT program.<br />
A summary report will be provided to the <strong>Interagency</strong> SEAT Board for review<br />
on an annual basis. The report will document all the requests submitted, the<br />
committees’ recommendations to the BLM Program Manager, and final actions<br />
taken on the requests.<br />
