Continue to Step 3 - Review Nomination


Recognizing that compliance with environmental regulatory requirements is a fundamental responsibility of the Federal agencies and Federal employees at all levels, each applicant will be subject to a review of background information on their environmental regulatory compliance status and enforcement history. This process will include consideration of information in the Environmental Protection Agency's Online Tracking Information System (OTIS) which is available online at: http://www.epa-otis.gov/otis/ (click this link for help in using OTIS) as well as other available compliance and enforcement information. Applicants should review their compliance status and history prior to submission and may provide information for consideration in the compliance screen where they believe the OTIS data is incorrect. In general, chronic non-compliance and/or recent or ongoing criminal or certain civil enforcement activity will be considered a basis for disqualification.

Beginning in 2009, where the application involves activities at a Federal facility or installation, the application must affirm that the compliance information on the OTIS system for the relevant facility or installation has been reviewed and concur with the information presented. Applicants may elect to non-concur and provide information for consideration in the compliance screen where they believe the OTIS data is incorrect or not applicable to the application.
