The Chief Agency Telecommunications Representative (CATR) Designation Form (CDT-965) is used to notify the California Department of Technology – CALNET Program (CALNET) of any additions or deletions to an agency’s designated CATR, or changes to their information.

CDT-965 CATR Designation Form And Instructions:

Purpose

Use the CATR Designation Form to add or change your agency’s* designated CATR, or their related information.

*Agency is defined as any state government agency, department, office, board or commission.

Background and Information

State agencies are required to provide an updated CATR Designation Form whenever there is a change in an agency’s CATR/ATR designation(s).

The updated information is used by CALNET Program to maintain a current list of authorized CATRs and ATRs, and indicates the appointed CATRs have been cleared to act on behalf of the agency. This list is provided to the CALNET vendors so that they can determine who is authorized to place orders and expend funds for telecommunications products and services. These updated designations will also ensure timely receipt of pertinent information regarding CALNET Contracts and other telecommunications and network services information.

This information will be provided by e-mail, so it is important CATRs keep all e-mails updated. Additionally, CATRs or other interested parties are encouraged to visit the CALNET website CALNET News page and subscribe to obtain automatic notification of new information.

A new form should be submitted any time the following changes occur:

1. A new CATR is appointed. (Each agency must have one CATR at the supervisory level or above.)
2. A CATR or ATR needs to be added or removed from the list.
3. There is a change to any of the information for a CATR or ATR (e.g. change of address, phone number, e-mail address).

Refer to the State Telecommunications Management Manual (STMM), Chapter 0300.0 for more information on CATR responsibilities.
