ISR ENVIRONMENT PROCESS
15 May
11-13 Jul
ACSIM has not granted an extension for ISR 2 data
submission to date. ISR 2 Workgroup reps
indicated on 6 Apr that they do not anticipate a
problem meeting that suspense.

Current MACOM Concerns

• Funding standards causing inordinate of
  commanders overwrites.
• Request to review the impact of the Must Fund
  standards on the Armys C-Ratings for FY00.
• Keep the ISR 2 software as a PC-based application
  and not move it to the web until the
  infrastructure and technology improves.
• Do not make any major changes to the software or
  standards until the Environmental Funding
  Predictive Model concept with linkage to ISR 2 is
  developed.

6
Current MACOM Concerns

• Request for commitment by ACSIM not to distribute
  the software until fully tested by installation
  personnel.
• Ensure sufficient time for the workgroup to fully
  test any new and potentially complex policy,
  standards, or software changes before they are
  implemented.

7
Future of ISR 2

• Efforts to develop an environmental funding model
  for ISR 2.
• Consistency with approach in ISR-1 and AIM-HI.
• Links performance with funding.
• More defensible POM submission to OSD and
  Congress.
• Adds accountability in terms of measurable
  performance indicators.
• All ISR software will eventually be web-based.
• ISR 2 Workgroup will continue to be driving force
  in making improvements to the program.

Environmental Projects
Report accurately on EPR - Compliance vs P-2 -
upgrading Class 2 / 3 to Class 2-high Maintain
properly - oil-water separators - removing
asbestos w/o notification Operate properly -
certify operators - get permits first -
establish follow local SOPs
15
INRMP / ICRMP
Do them - Do NEPA assessment - collect very
specific spatial data ( location of
endangered species, wetlands, burn areas,
archeological sites, soil series, topo, lakes,
hunting / grazing areas, timber, game) -
ensure they support the mission - get
commanders commitment! - get community
support - establish systems for updating
data Enforce them Review them
