  1. Introduction

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) developed the electronic Confidential Statement of Formulation (eCSF) application within the Central Data Exchange’s (CDX) Pesticide Submission Portal (PSP). The eCSF application provides pesticide registrants the option to create EPA Form 8570-4 in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format that can be easily updated and reused by registrants and more efficiently reviewed by EPA. Use of the eCSF application and corresponding XML format is not compulsory at this time.

Please refer to the following resources for additional information:

    1. Purpose

This document provides pesticide registrants guidance on how to construct an XML file that is both acceptable for use in the eCSF application and submitable to EPA through PSP.

    1. Application Support

Assistance is available by contacting the CDX Help Desk (CDXHD) using one of the following options:

  • By Telephone:

Person-to-person telephone support is available from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm eastern standard time/eastern daylight time (EST/EDT). Call the CDXHD’s toll-free line at (888) 890-1995 or +1 (970) 494-5500 for international callers.

  • By Email:

Send an email to helpdesk@epacdx.net with “Technical Support” in the ‘Subject’ line.

  • By Chat:

Select the ‘Chat with the CDX Help Desk’ link on the ‘Contact Us’ screen to initiate a live chat with a CDXHD agent.

  • By Contact Form:

Enter information in the text fields under the ‘Contact Form’ section of the ‘Contact Us’ screen.

  • By Website:

Users can contact the CDXHD from the ‘Contact Us’ screen at https://cdx.epa.gov/Contact and read the help section at https://cdx.epa.gov/Help.

  1. eCSF XML File Creation

An XML file in the eCSF format may be submitted via PSP regardless of how the file was created. It is highly recommended, but not required, that pesticide registrants utilize the eCSF builder application to ensure the file is properly formatted and validated.

The following subsections detail how to create a complete eCSF XML file.

    1. File Creation Dos and Don’ts

  • Do use the preferred file naming convention of ‘[EPA Registration Number]_[Basic/Alternate]_[Date Signed].xml’. For example, ‘98765-1_Basic_10102016.xml’

  • Do not use “&”, “<”, and “>” within field values.

  • Do use characters in the ‘UTF-8’ character set. Commonly used characters that are not part of the ‘UTF-8’ character set include: ™, ®, ©, em dash, and en dash.

  • Do use starting and end commands for each XML section.

  • Do use starting and end commands for each XML element. The applications use the value between these commands as the data element.

  • Do format XML tags exactly as described in the below sections of this document. XML tags are case sensitive and will not be accureately interpreted by eCSF and PSP applications when improperly formatted.

  • Do upload outside created XML files into the eCSF application and navigate through all screens to ensure that the XML file is properly formatted and no validation errors are present.

    1. Preliminary Questions

This section of the XML corresponds to the fields located on the ‘Preliminary Questions’ screen within the eCSF application.

Tips:

  • A <RepackActiveList> section is required to pass validation for 100% repackaged products

  • The <ActiveIngredientRepackPdfInfo> tag is used by the eCSF application and is not required to be in a submission
