NACAA E-Permitting Survey
On February 28, 2017, NACAA distributed a survey to members of the Permitting and New Source Review Committee seeking information on the various e-permitting applications in use or under consideration by state and local air agencies.
The completed surveys, received in March 2017, are posted below. They are grouped into three broad categories: agencies that are using and/or adapting e-permitting applications from third-party vendors; agencies that have developed their systems in-house; agencies that have selected an e-permitting system but have not yet implemented it; and agencies that have not yet implemented a system but are planning to do so or are interested in learning from the experiences of others.
The blank survey is posted here. Additional responses are welcome and will be posted as they are received.
