An ACAT I program is required to submit a quarterly Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) when it meets specific criteria, including having a total program cost exceeding $1 billion in research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) or $300 million in procurement. The reports must be submitted to provide updates on the program's cost, schedule, and performance, ensuring oversight and informed decision-making at higher levels of the Department of Defense. SARs are typically required for programs that are currently under development or in production phases.

Acquisition Program Baseline (APB)
The Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) is prepared during the initial phase of an acquisition program, typically after the completion of the analysis of alternatives and before the program enters the development phase. It is established to define the program's cost, schedule, and performance objectives, serving as a key management tool throughout the program's lifecycle. The APB is updated at critical milestones to reflect any changes in the program's goals or parameters.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required for all acquisition programs to ensure that environmental issues are addressed. This assessment evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the program and helps in making informed decisions to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment.
