Reporting electronically: registration in the Central Data Exchange (CDX)

To submit Form U electronically to EPA, you must register with CDX and be approved by EPA. If you have technical issues or problems regarding CDX registration, please contact the CDX Help Desk at [email protected] or 888-890-1995. International callers who wish to contact the Help Desk should call 970-494-5500.

• 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.
