Introduction
Central Data Exchange (CDX) is a web-based system used for various electronic environmental
data submissions to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CDX allows
users submitting data to EPA to register for the specific program of interest. The CDX system
also allows for several offices within EPA to use a common framework where a user can access
several different flows to satisfy reporting requirements across multiple offices. More
information about CDX is available at www.epa.gov/cdx.
1.1
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to walk through the registration and user profile management
processes in CDX, specifically for the Chemical Safety and Pesticide Programs (CSPP)
workflow submissions. If the user is currently submitting under Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) electronically, the user should register for the CSPP workflow. The CDX modernization
effort was aimed at improving the user experience through updating the user interface, as well as
streamlining the user registration processes for CDX web users, including the migration of user
accounts and profiles for users who currently use the system. This document will assist new
CDX users registering with the CDX system as well as reacquaint existing users with new
system processes and registering for specific CSPP roles.
1.2
Topics Covered
This document will cover the registration process, updates from the old CDX system, and the
MyCDX profile. The sections are described below:
• Section 2 lists the system requirements. This section describes what a user needs to access
and interact with the system.
• Section 3 outlines the main CDX navigation. This section guides the user through the CDX
screens that do not require a user account.
• Section 4 describes the CDX core registration process. This section introduces a user to the
registration process.
• Section 5 describes the program organization a user should register for based on the
document or submission they are reporting on within the Section 5 Notices and Supports
application.
• Section 6 provides guidance regarding selecting and registering for the appropriate user role
for the eReporting modules, including FYI, Section 4, Section 8(a), Section 8(d), and Section
8(e).
• Section 7 provides guidance regarding selecting and registering for the appropriate user role
for the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) module.
• Section 8 describes the role sponsorship module and the process of registering for additional
agent/consultant roles as it applies to the Section 5 Notices and Supports application.
• Section 9 describes the multiple Authorized Official (AO) functionality. This section guides
the user through how to utilize this functionality.
• Section 10 describes additional verification processes that users may have to go through after
registration. This section will only apply to users registering for flows that require additional

identity verification. Additionally, this section will walk a user through the different
verification processes that they could face based on the program service they select.
• Section 11 describes the process of managing user and organization information and adding
program services after a user has completed the initial registration process.
• Section 12 describes the log in process for users who have been migrated from the system
prior to the update on October 1, 2012. This section will identify what a migrated user should
expect when logging into the updated system.
• Section 13 describes the log in process for returning users. This section will identify what a
return user should expect after their initial log in.
• Section 14 gives a MyCDX overview. This section will review existing and new functions of
the system and walk a user through navigating the new system.

CDX Main Navigation
3.1
Overview
The CDX website is an application used by EPA programs and various stakeholders to manage
environmental data transmitted to EPA to meet EPA reporting requirements. As part of the CDX
system, the user registration component is used to facilitate user access to a program. Within the
user registration component, program offices have the ability to define the roles and information
required by new users to complete the registration process. Based on the program service and
role combinations, each program has different information that a user will need to provide. CDX
captures the requirements for each program service and role and prompts the user for only the
information required. Some roles do not require any additional information, whereas others
require identity proofing and/or additional information processing. The following sections will
walk through how a user will register for the different types of program services.
3.2
CDX Homepage
The CDX homepage is the landing screen from which you have the ability to access and interact
with CDX. The CDX home screen can be accessed by the following link:
http://cdx.epa.gov/epa_home.asp, and provides the user with the following features:
• Log In: If you already have an existing CDX account, you may log into the system by
entering your user identification (ID) and password information and clicking the ‘Log In’
button located on the right-hand side of the screen.
• Registration: If you do not have a CDX account, click the ‘Register with CDX’ button to
begin the registration process outlined later in this section .
• Welcome Announce ment: This text area provides welcome text that is visible to all users
who visit CDX.
• Important Alerts: The alerts appearing in the ‘Notices’ box provide you with system or
program-specific information.
• Warning Notice and Privacy Policy: The ‘Warning Notice and Privacy Policy’ statements
are displayed on the CDX homepage to ensure that you are aware of the terms of use for the
CDX system, whether you decide to log into, or register with, the system.

Request Role Access
The ‘Request Role Access’ screen is the second step in the registration process. It will be
highlighted in the top breadcrumb bar. Completed steps are indicated with a checkmark. You
will also be able to navigate back to the first step by clicking the ‘Request Program Service’ step
in the top breadcrumb bar.
The CDX application allows programs to define user roles that can be selected during
registration. After selecting a program service on the ‘Request Program Service’ page, the
‘Request Role Access’ screen will appear and will allow you to register for a specific role (see
Exhibit 4-5).
If a user will be registering under the ‘CSPP: Submissions for Chemical Safety and Pesticide
Programs’ program service and creating any type of Section 5 Notices and Supports form, there
is additional guidance regarding which role a user should register under. For additional guidance
regarding which role to register under, see Section 5.
Based on program requirements and provisioning, this section will provide the appropriate fields
for additional information to be collected. Fields will display for the user to enter a facility ID or
TDD 9.21 CDX User Guide CSPP Workflow
November 8, 2013

to use the Facility Registry System (FRS) (see Section 4.3.2). An additional screen will appear
for users to enter any other required information once the user confirms (see Section 4.3.1).
The programs that are provisioned to only have one role (out of all possible user roles, including
Primary Authorized Officials, Secondary Authorized Officials, Primary Agents/Consultants,
Secondary Agents/Consultants, Primary Supports, and/or Secondary Supports) without
additional information will skip this page and direct the user to provide their user and
organization information.
The following exhibit shows the screen capture for the ‘Request Role Access’ screen:

Additional Information
The ‘Additional Information’ screen will only display for roles requiring additional information
that is not collected on the previous screen. Based on program requirements and provisioning,
this screen will provide the following:

EPA Facility Information
Some programs require users to provide facility information for specific program roles. If a role
requires facility information, a textbox and a ‘Search Facilities’ button will be displayed (see
Exhibit 4-7). If you already know your facility ID number, you will be able to input it into the
‘Facility ID’ field. If you do not know your facility ID number, you will be able to conduct a
search. Clicking the ‘Search Facilities’ button launches the FRS search service that allows you to
search for existing EPA facilities (see Exhibit 4-8). For certain programs, if the facility
information cannot be found, you have the opportunity to create a facility and submit the
information for review and inclusion in FRS (see Exhibit 4-10, Exhibit 4-11, and Exhibit 4-12).
The facility search, search results, and creation pages are displayed in exhibits below (see
previous references, Exhibit 4-9, and Exhibit 4-13). To ensure search results are returned within
optimal processing timeframes, at least two search fields must be populated.

Certain applications within the CSPP program service will extract and use FRS data from CDX,
which requires the user to identify and associate facilities with the appropriate user roles. If you
are registering under the CSPP workflow and intend to use the CDR application, please add the
necessary facilities. If you are using the PMN, FYI, Section 4, 8(a) PAIR, 8(d), or 8(e) Notice
application within the CSPP workflow, identifying facilities is not necessary.

Unlike the previous system, the new CDX system requires you to search for your organization
before you are able to create a new organization. You are first asked to do a simple search (see
Exhibit 4-15). From the simple search you will be able to search by entering the ‘Organization
Name’ or the ‘Organization ID.’ Partial search terms can be entered. The matching search results
will be returned in a table displaying the ‘Organization ID,’ ‘Organization Name,’ ‘Address,’
‘City,’ ‘State,’ and ‘ZIP/Postal Code’ (see Exhibit 4-16). If the simple search returns too many
results, you may use the advanced search option (see Exhibit 4-17 and Exhibit 4-18) or choose
to search again. You may also choose to create an organization from a link below the search
results (see Exhibit 4-20). You will need to click the ‘Organization ID’ link to select your
organization. Once an organization has been selected or created, you will be required to enter an
email address and phone number, with the option of entering a phone number extension or fax
number (see Exhibit 4-19 and Exhibit 4-20).
This step is extremly important because the organization you designate as your primary
organization impacts the multiple AO functionality. For additional details regarding multiple AO
functionality, refer to Section 9.1.
The search results will only display organizations that have been previously verified by a
Registration Maintenance Account Manager (RMAM), LexisNexis or a help desk user.
Organizations that have not been verified can be searched for by using the organization ID.
The first organization a user adds will be set as the primary organization. The primary
organization is important because it indicates the user’s primary email address in CDX.

CDX Role Sponsorship Registration
The role sponsorship registration process is recommended for specific users reporting under
TSCA Section 5. These users are likely not a part of the main organization, but have been hired
to consult for an organization.
To begin the process of identifying a separate user as an Agent/Consultant, log into the CDX
account identified as a Primary AO and deactivate the existing Primary AO role. The user will
log back into the CDX account, reactivate the Primary AO role, and access the ‘Role
Sponsorship’ tab. The reason for this is that a user needs to re-establish the role with the
sponsorship provisioning.
8.1

After registering as a Primary AO, log into CDX and complete the eSig-PIN questions (see
Exhibit 8-1). The application does not accept the same answer for each challenge question.

• Organization Name (required)
• Mailing Address 1 (required)
• Mailing Address 2
• City (required)
• State/Province (required)

• Email (required)
• Re-enter Email (required)
• Phone Number (required)
• Phone Number Extension
• Fax Number
Unlike the previous system, the new CDX system requires you to search for your organization
before you are able to create a new organization. You are first asked to do a simple search (see
TDD 9.21 CDX User Guide CSPP Workflow
November 8, 2013
72
Exhibit 4-15). From the simple search you will be able to search by entering the ‘Organization
Name’ or the ‘Organization ID.’ The matching search results will be returned in a table
displaying the ‘Organization ID,’ ‘Organization Name,’ ‘Address,’ ‘City,’ ‘State,’ and
‘ZIP/Postal Code’ (see Exhibit 4-16). If the simple search returns too many results, you may use
the advanced search option (see Exhibit 4-17 and Exhibit 4-18) or choose to search again. You
may also choose to create an organization from a link below the search results (see Exhibit
4-20). You will need to click the ‘Organization ID’ link to select your organization. Once an
organization has been selected or created, you will be required to enter an email address and
phone number, with the option of entering a phone number extension or fax number (see Exhibit
4-19 and Exhibit 4-20).
The search results will only display organizations that have been previously verified by an
RMAM, LexisNexis or a help desk user. Organizations that have not been verified can be
searched for by using the organization ID.
The first organization a user adds will be set as the primary organization. The primary
organization is important because it indicates the user’s primary email address in CDX. The
primary organization can be changed within CDX registration information at any time.

Multiple Authorized Official Functionality
In all CSPP applications, AOs that register under the same organization name in CDX can view
all forms and submissions belonging to that organization on the ‘Forms’ screen within an
application.
9.1
Multiple AO Functionality
The multiple AO functionality means that all AOs registered under the same organization name
are able to view all forms and submissions created by other AOs under that organization name.
Organization names are not case-sensitive, however spacing and abbreviation in an organization
name are considered. Although users from the same company may be able to view forms created
and submitted by other users under the same organization name, all forms will still require a
passphrase to be accessed.

Additional Verification
Once you have entered registration information and activated the user account, you may be asked
to enter additional information based on the program service and role you chose. After you log in
to CDX from the activation link, you will be redirected to the screens for the additional
information required for your role.
10.1
Identity Verification Process
When applicable, you will be given the option to use the electronic identity verification process
(see Exhibit 10-1). The CDX registration process provides an identity verification service called
LexisNexis, which is a third-party service that verifies the user's identity. If you choose to
proceed with the electronic verification process, you must click the ‘Proceed to Verification’
button.
The LexisNexis service will launch a new window, which navigates a user away from CDX to
collect additional Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that CDX does not store or use. If you
choose not to utilize LexisNexis and click the ‘Sign Paper Form’ link (see Exhibit 10-5), CDX
will proceed to the existing paper processing option and instruct you to print, sign, and mail any
identity proofing documentation.
Based on the role provisioning, the LexisNexis Data Collection window will either display the
user and organization information collected by CDX, which is not editable (see Exhibit 10-2), or
display fields for a user to enter PII information in (Exhibit 10-3). The window also displays text
fields in which you must provide the necessary PII for LexisNexis to complete the identity
validation.
After submitting the information, you will be redirected back to CDX where the validation
results will be given (see Exhibit 10-4).
After navigating back to CDX from LexisNexis, one of the following four scenarios will occur:
1. You successfully validate to the minimum standards. After clicking the ‘Continue’
button, the system will direct you to set your 20-5-1 questions and allow you to
electronically sign the ESA (see Section 10.2.1).
2. You unsuccessfully validate to the minimum standards after clicking the ‘Continue’
button. If your user identity proofing failed, you can only sign the paper ESA. If the
organization or user-organization association fails, then you have up to five (5) times to
improve your score for validation (see Exhibit 8-6). You will only be able to make edits
to your organization information. If you fail more than 5 times, you will be taken to the
paper ESA.
3. You choose to sign the paper ESA by clicking the ‘Continue’ button without submitting
the LexisNexis form and selecting the paper ESA link (see Exhibit 10-5).
4. You choose to discontinue the registration process by clicking the ‘Cancel’ button on the
‘Additional Verification’ screen (see Exhibit 10-1). You will be sent the paper ESA in
your MyCDX inbox. You must contact the CDX helpdesk for further information to
obtain access to the program role requested.

CDX Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA)
Some roles require a user to have an ESA. If you do not have a current ESA, you will be
prompted to sign an ESA, which can be signed electronically or manually. The following
sections provide more detail about each option. If a user has signed an ESA for either the TSCA
or TRI program service/workflow, the existing ESA may be reused for the CSPPworkflow.
TDD 9.21 CDX User Guide CSPP Workflow
November 8, 2013

10.2.1
Electronic CDX Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA)
Applicable only to some roles, CDX provides twenty questions to choose from which will help
validate your identity. You will be prompted to enter Cross-Media Electronic Reporting
Regulation (CROMERR) questions after you have successfully passed LexisNexis identity
proofing or have been approved via the help desk.
You will choose five questions and provide answers for each. You will not be allowed to select
and provide duplicate questions or answers. The questions that you select should be easy for you
to remember, but difficult for someone else to guess. You will be required to answer one of these
five questions upon submitting any forms that utilize the CROMERR widget for electronic
signatures. You will be prompted with a question randomly chosen by the system during the
signing process.
If you pass LexisNexis validation and choose to sign the ESA electronically, the system will
verify that the CROMERR 20-5-1 questions and answers have been set. If the questions and
answers were previously set, you will be directed to a page to view the ESA. If these have not
been set, you will be directed to a page to provide five questions and answers before proceeding
to the ESA page (see Exhibit 10-8 and Exhibit 10-9). The questions must be completed before
you can electronically sign the CDX (or flow-specific) ESA or sponsor letter. You must click the
‘Save Answers’ button after providing the questions and answers. You will receive an email
confirmation of your 20-5-1 questions to both your personal email and MyCDX inbox.
After you complete the 20-5-1 question process, review the ESA, and click the ‘Sign
Electronically’ button, the system will launch the CDX CROMERR widget. As part of the C DX
CROMERR widget process, you will be required to re-validate your user ID and password,
provide the answer to one of the 20-5-1 questions, and officially sign the ESA (see Exhibit 10-9,
Exhibit 10-10, and Exhibit 10-11).
When you officially sign the ESA, a copy of the ESA, along with your electronic signature, is
stored in the CDX CROMERR archives. A copy of the ESA is also sent to your MyCDX inbox.
If you choose the paper ESA process, the questions will not be displayed in CDX until your
program service role has been activated. After your role has been activated, you will be
prompted to provide your questions and answers before being able to navigate to the ‘MyCDX’
landing page.

responsible for the approval of program service role access requests, to grant access to the role.
In this case, the user will not be able to do anything beyond entering registration information. If
you have any issues waiting for the approval, you will need to reach out to the point of contact
for the program service.
10.4
Registration Notifications
After completing the registration process, you will receive confirmation of successful registration
(see Exhibit 10-13). If you choose the paper ESA option, you will receive a confirmation email

Managing User and Organization Information
Once you have entered registration information and activated the user account, you may perform
various functions such as adding additional organizations to a username, modifying user
information, or adding additional program services to a username.
11.1
Managing Organization Information
If necessary, a user is able to add additional organizations that may be associated with a
username. The new organization will then be added to the ‘Organization Details’ section. During
subsequent logins, a user will be able to select the organization for which they would like to
submit forms.
To add additional organizations to a username, click the ‘Modify User / Organization
Information’ button on the ‘My Profile’ tab that displays after logging in. A user can then choose
to either search for an existing organization to add or request a new organization to be added. If a
user chooses to add a new organization, populate the required organization contact information
and click the ‘Submit Request for Access’ button.
The additional organization then displays in the ‘Organization Details’ section of the ‘My

optimize the user experience, the dashboard has a tabbed navigation structure that allows you to
view and perform routine tasks with a few mouse clicks. The core tabs that are visible to all
registered users are ‘MyCDX,’ ‘Inbox,’ ‘My Profile,’ and ‘Submission History.’
The ‘MyCDX’ tab displays two sections: services and system- generated messaging for user
interaction with registered programs and notification.
The following exhibit shows the screen capture for the ‘MyCDX Homepage’ screen:

News and Updates
The ‘MyCDX’ tab provides system- wide and program-specific alerts, news, and updates to
inform users about upcoming or ongoing activities within CDX (see Exhibit 14-1). Messages
displayed in this section will be sorted in reverse chronology driven by a start and end date to
prevent lists from becoming too long. In instances where a message does not have an end date, it
will remain on the list. You can view older messages by clicking a hyperlink that displays a list

of those messages. Users with pending account creations will be able to view program-specific
messages. The system- generated messages include, but are not limited to, the following:
• System outages
• Password expiration countdown
• User account validation
• Program-specific notifications
14.1.2
Services
To access a program, you must click the desired hyperlink in the ‘Role(s)’ column. The list of
programs in the ‘Role(s)’ column accommodates instances where you have multiple roles for one
program. The role may be ‘Awaiting Approval’ ( ), ‘Awaiting Digital Signature Agreement
(DSA) Approval’ (
), ‘Awaiting ESA Approval’ ( ), or ‘Active’ ( ). Icons in the ‘Status’
column will provide the additional information for a particular role. A hover message displays
the icon meaning.
Only roles that are ‘Active’ will be hyperlinked.
14.1.2.1
Manage Program Services
You can access the ‘Manage Program Services’ screen by clicking the hyperlink above the table
listing your program service roles on the ‘MyCDX’ tab (see Exhibit 14-2).
The ‘Manage Program Services’ link allows you view all of your roles in the system for your
specific organization as well as the current statuses of these roles (e.g., active, awaiting approval,
deactivated). You can also request to add new roles and program services to an existing
organization. If you want to add another organization, please refer to Section 14.3.2.
From this page, you will have the option to edit or deactivate the roles in the list. If you
deactivate a role in the list, you must provide confirmation in the pop- up window (see Exhibit
14-3). The ‘OK’ button will deactivate the chosen role. The ‘Cancel’ button will close the popup box and no action will be taken. Once a role has been deactivated, it cannot be reactivated and
you will need to request to add the role to the program service again.
You may add another role for a program flow that you are already associated to by clicking the
‘Request New Role’ link next to the existing flow, which will take you to the screen seen below
(see Exhibit 14-4). You will be directed to additional information or verification screens if the
role requires them.
If you wish to add a new program service, click the ‘Add Program Service’ button. The addition
of a new program service will direct you to the ‘Request Program Service’ screen (see Exhibit
14-5). Here you will be required to select the program service you wish to add, similar to a new
registration (see Section 4.2 ). Following the program selection, you will be required to select the
role (see Section 4.3). You will be required to complete any additional verification processes if
necessary. This method may be used to register for another role for the current organization
which you are already registered under or a new organization. To add another role for a separate
organization, you have the option to add this on the ‘User/Organization’ page.

Nomination
For specific program flows and/or roles, nomination of another user will be allowed. To access
the nomination process, you will need to click the ‘Nominate’ link displayed in the ‘View
Details’ column (see Exhibit 14-8). If the link is not present, the program/role does not allow
nomination. Clicking the link will take you to the ‘Nominate’ screen (see Exhibit 14-9). You
will be required to enter data about the user that you wish to nominate.
• Title (required)
• First Name (required)
• Middle Initial
• Last Name (required)

Under the ‘Program Information’ section, the program you selected will be populated and a
‘Select Role’ dropdown menu will be populated. You will need to select the role from the
dropdown menu to complete the nomination. The ‘Role’ dropdown menu will only display roles
that you have added to your profile, and roles that allow nominations.
Under the ‘Organization Information’ section, you will need to conduct an organization search,
similar to that used during registration (see Section 4.4.2). Once all required information has
been filled out and the nomination request has been submitted, you will be directed back to the
‘Manage Program Services’ screen.

The items in the system ‘Inbox’ will be similar to those received at the email address you
provided during registration. While the message and title are subject to change, you can expect to
see some of the following messages in your CDX inbox:
• Subject: [Program Service Specific] ESA is attached – As part of the registration process
for some program services, you will be required to print and sign an ESA. A digital copy of
this form is available for download from this message in your user ‘Inbox.’
• Subject: eSIG-PIN Questions Ans wered – This message is to inform you that you have
successfully established your 20-5-1 question and answer sets. The email contains the five
questions you have chosen, but for security purposes, does not include your answers.
• Subject: You successfully signed a docume nt – This message will appear after you have
successfully submitted a form. It informs you that you have successfully signed a form with
CROMERR.
14.3
My Profile
From the ‘MyCDX’ page, click the ‘My Profile’ tab to edit user and organization information
(see Exhibit 14-11). The ‘My Profile’ tab provides a view of the user and organization
information that you created during registration and any additional modifications or organization
information added after registration.

Modify User Information
To modify any of the user profile information, you must click the ‘Modify User / Organization
Information’ button. The page will display both sections and the user will have the ability to
modify all fields except the following user information fields (see Exhibit 14-12):
• User ID
• Prefix
• First Name
• Middle Initial
• Last Name
• Suffix
For changes to the above fields, you will need to contact the CDX Helpdesk. From this screen,
you will also be able to change your password by clicking the ‘Change Password’ link.
TDD 9.21 CDX User Guide CSPP Workflow

Another feature on this page is the ability for you to request the deactivation of your entire user
account. When you deactivate an account, you will not be able to log into CDX using that user
ID. You must contact the help desk to reactivate a previously deactivated account and roles. To
deactivate your account you will need to provide your password (see Exhibit 14-13). Since
deactivating the user account deactivates all user roles and prevents the user from accessing
CDX, only the person who knows the password should be allowed to deactivate a user account.
This also prevents users from unintentionally deactivating an account.

Modify Organization Information
The ‘My Profile’ screen described above also has the ‘Organization Details’ section seen below
in Exhibit 14-15. This section allows the user to edit current organization information and add
new organizations.
Within the ‘Organization Details’ section, you will see all the organizations to which you are
registered under. If you have more than one organization listed, you will be able to identify
which organization is flagged as your primary organization.
The ‘Organization Details’ section allows you to change information related to your
organization(s) (see Exhibit 14-16). You can navigate to this section by clicking the ‘Modify
User/Organization Information’ link. Changes can be made to each organization by clicking the
organization name, which will expand to reveal additional details. You can modify the following
fields:
• Phone Number (required)
• Phone Number Extension
TDD 9.21 CDX User Guide CSPP Workflow
November 8, 2013
134
• Fax Number
Please note that your email address is not editable. To make changes to your organization contact
email you will need to contact the CDX Helpdesk. The reason for this is because a user’s email
address is linked to the ESA. In the event that a user needs to change their email address, per
CROMERR requirements, the system needs to have on record and send a notification to the old
and new email address that this change has been made.
When you click into organization information, a ‘Make Primary’ button will be displayed if you
have more than one organization associated with your account (see Exhibit 14-17). The button
will only be displayed for an organization if it is not your primary organization. Modifying your
primary organization will also change your primary email address, meaning any email
correspondences will be sent to the email address you provide for your primary organization.
You may also add a new organization from this screen by following the steps in Section 4.4.2
where searching and adding organizations are described (see Exhibit 14-18).

CDX Application Submission Error
If a user is experiencing a challenge question/answer error message during the submission
process, the user needs to contact the help desk and request a 20-5-1 reset. When the challenge
questions are successfully reset, the user will receive an email with an authorization code, which
will allow you to reset your questions and answers. To reset your eSIG-PIN questions and
answers, login and access the ‘MyCDX’ screen. While this authorization code is active, you will
see a link on the right- hand side under the ‘Alert’ section to reset your eSIG-PIN. The link will
take you to a screen where you will be prompted to enter the authorization code and
