Modification and Extension of the Environmental Technical Information System (ETIS) for the Air Force

Abstract

This report identifies relationships between Air Force and Army work dealing with environmental impact analysis and information system development. In addition, it makes recommendations for modifying and extending the Army's Environmental Technical Information System (ETIS) to provide coordinated research efforts that will satisfy the Air Force's environmental analysis requirements. Study of ETIS subsystems revealed several overlaps in their computer system designs and in their usage and system maintenance requirements. Three ETIS subsystems (Land Use Compendium (LUC), Computer-Aided Environmental Legislative Data System (CELDS), and Baseline Information System (BLIS)) and one Air Force system, Interagency/Intergovernmental Coordination for Environmental Planning (IICEP) are functionally similar enough to warrant coordinating them to avoid redundancy. However, the Air Force's TAB A-1 System and the Army's Clearinghouse Information System (CHIS) should remain separate entities.
