UST Cleanup Fund Releases New Pre-Approval Task Authorization Form for Electronic Submittal
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance customer service, the UST Cleanup Trust fund has developed a new electronic Pre-Approval Task Authorization Form in Excel .xlsx format. If you have Excel 2007, this version may be used for the submittal of any preapproval request as of March 11, 2013 by emailing a saved xlsx file to your Incident Manager, instead of having to mail a paper copy PATA form into the Regional Offices. Located in the 2010 Reasonable Rate Documents at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wm/ust/rrd
Simply open the file, add in your information, tasks, units, and rates, some of which are available in simple drop-down menus. Then save your file with a file name that reflects the incident and scope dates (in the format: Incident#-TA# Site Name yyyy-mm-dd ) and email a copy to your Incident Manager. (Please do not modify any of the formatting or add rows or columns, as this could interfere with some of the Form’s automation. If additional rows are needed, simply split the request into two forms, one primary and one supplementary/change order, and submit both files at the same time.)
Following their review of the scope of work, the Incident Manager will then save and email the file to the Cleanup Fund Auditor, who will confirm the rates requested for each task, then save and email a copy back to the Incident Manager.
At that point you may receive either a scan or fax of a signed copy of the PATA, or a PDF of the final file in an email confirming its approval.
At present, you may still print and send in hard copies of the PATA form for manual processing and postal/courier deliveries. However, we strongly encourage you to start using this version of the ePATA form as soon as possible for an accelerated turn-around of your preapproval requests.
