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 like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

The instructor clearly enjoys his job and transmits that enthusiasm. He made a dry subject very interesting and fun.

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

Having the tutorial buttons for additional information was extremely beneficial.

The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

Best course instructor I've ever had. Funny, relatable, engaging; made it interesting and challenged us as the professionals we are.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.
