Coast Guard Forms Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)
Posted on 6/14/2011 by James Griffin
The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing a Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) to advise the Department of Homeland Security and the Guard on the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials in bulk.
The Committee will include up to 25 members from chemical manufacturers, marine transport operators, vessel design and construction companies, marine safety or security companies, and marine environmental protection groups, all of whom are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The CTAC may conduct studies, inquiries, workshops, and seminars at the direction or under the authorization of the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The unique industry perspective of the Committee will provide critical support to the USCG’s efforts to ensure the safety of the U.S. Merchant Marine.
For more information, see the Federal Register announcement (76 FR 34240).
I really enjoy your workshops. Thank you for such a great program and all the help Lion has provided me over the years!
George Chatman
Hazardous Material Pharmacy Technician
Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!
Stephanie Weathers
SHE Specialist
The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.
Andy D’Amato

Lion's information is very thorough and accurate. Presenter was very good.
Melissa Little
Regulatory Manager
Excellent course. Very interactive. Explanations are great whether you get the questions wrong or right.
Gregory Thompson
Environmental, Health & Safety Regional Manager
I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Frank Sizemore
Director of Regulatory Affairs
Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.
John Brown, CSP
Director of Safety & Env Affairs
These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.
Kim Racine
EH&S Manager
One of the best trainings I have ever received!
Brandon Morfin
EH&S Manager
Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.
