Reporting Electronically: Registration in the Central Data Exchange (CDX)

You are required to submit your Form U electronically during the 2012 CDR submission period. To enable electronic submissions, you need to:

• Register on CDX: To register for CDR reporting, go to the CDX website and register under the program "Submissions for Chemical Safety and Pesticide Programs (CSPP)." If you were previously registered on CDX for e-TSCA, e-PMN, or TRI, you are able to add the CDR reporting flow to your current registration.
• Access e-CDRweb: The Agency-provided electronic reporting tool used to complete Form U is now available. Once you have registered in CDX, you will be able to access e-CDRweb.
• Submit your completed Form U. View a sample Form U.
