4 Overview This document, Submitting ODS Data to EPA via CDX: Initial Setup and Submission, is the third part of a comprehensive 3-Part Guidance developed to assist you in successfully submitting your ODS data electronically. In its entirety, the 3-Part Guidance document provides step-by-step instructions to: 1. Register as a CDX user, 2. Prepare data for submission, and 3. Submit ODS data to EPA. Part 1 of the guidance walks you through the steps of registering as a CDX user and setting up your system for ODSTS e-reporting. This is a one-time registration process that you will need to complete the first time you submit your data electronically. Part 2 of the guidance document assists you in preparing your data for submission. This is Part 3 of the guidance document, which assists you through the process of zipping, encrypting, and sending your files to EPA using CDX. Note that Guidance Part 3 Supplemental can be used after your initial data submission. It contains the steps you will take to make routine submissions to EPA via CDX. Part 3 of the guidance document will help you zip data files and transmit the files to EPA electronically via the CDX system. During this process, you will be asked to install Java 2 Runtime Environment and the ODS Public Key to your computer. For this reason, your first attempt to transfer reporting data via CDX may be interrupted and fail. Log on to CDX and try again. Once the Java program and ODS Public Key are loaded to your computer, the transfer should run smoothly. If you have problems, contact the CDX Helpdesk at (888) for additional assistance. The remainder of this document discusses each of these major steps in further detail. 1 March 2008
