About CenSARA

CenSARA is one of six multijurisdictional organizations who work with state and local air quality agencies to address regional air quality issues through technical work and training.  CenSARA's region covers the state and local air programs in Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.

Coordination on Regional and National Issues

CenSARA provides support to its membership by developing comment letters on EPA proposed rulemaking r implementation guidance and by providing technical analysis to support implementation of NAAQS and the Regional Haze Rule.  CenSARA works collaboratively with other MJOs and national associations including  AAPCA. ECOS and NACAA to coordinate national workshops and training opportunities that support the needs of state and local air quality agencies.

In-Person Classroom and Virtual Training

CenSARA operates a robust training program that includes both in-person instructor lead training and virtual training.  The subject matter varies from technical to soft skill courses like technical writing.  CenSARA surveys the membership each year to determine the training needs of the member agencies and then works with available instructors to schedule and manage the delivery of the training.

EPA Self Instructional Content for State/Local Agency Personnel

CenSARA membership can access self-instructional courses offered through EPA's AirKnowledge system.  These courses are then updated in the student's CenSARA transcript so that they have a complete record of their training.

Create Your Training Account

In order to access our training, CenSARA membership must create an account using their agency domain email address.  This should also be the same email address that they use to create an account on EPA's AirKnowledge website.

CenSARA Standing Committees

CenSARA has standing committees that are focused on several topics that include Regional Haze, Planning and SIP Develpment, and Technical Workshare.  The Technical Workshare committee meets monthly to discuss a wide variety of national workgroup efforts, most of which are related to emissions inventory.

Travel Assistance
CenSARA can provide travel support for members to participate in national meetings and training events.  For most meetings, we can provide travel support for one or two members from each organization.  Travel support is normally limited to airfare and hotel costs.
