CDX Main Navigation
The following section provides an overview of the pages that are accessible upon first navigating
to the CDX Homepage before beginning the registration process.
3.1
Overview
CDX 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 must 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 different 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: https://cdx.epa.gov,
and provides the user with the following features:
• Log In: If you already have a 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 Announcement: This text area provides welcome text that is visible to all users
who visit CDX.
• Important Alerts: The alerts in the ‘Notices’ box that appear below the ‘Welcome
Announcement’ provide you with system or program-specific information. The ‘Notices’ box
will only appear if there are any alerts regarding CDX.
• Warning Notice and Privacy Policy: The ‘Warning Notice and Privacy Policy’ statements
are displayed on the CDX homepage providing you with a list of the terms of use for the
CDX system, whether you decide to log into, or register with the system.

Additional Verification
After you log into CDX from the activation link, you will be redirected to the screens for the
additional information required for your PSP role.
5.1
Identity Verification Process
You will be given the option to use the electronic identity verification process (see Exhibit 5-1)
or the paper identity verfication process. The CDX registration process provides an electronic
identity verification service through LexisNexis, which is a third-party service that verifies a
user's identity. If you choose to proceed with the electronic verification process, click the check
box and 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 the paper form’ link (see Exhibit 5-1), CDX
will proceed to the paper processing option and instruct you to print, sign, and mail identity
proofing documentation.
The ‘LexisNexis Data Collection’ window will display fields for a user to enter in PII
information (see Exhibit 5-2). You must provide the necessary PII for LexisNexis to complete
the identity validation.
You will be redirected back to CDX after submitting the information and one of the following
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 5.2.1).
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.
3. You choose to sign the paper ESA by clicking the ‘Continue’ button without submitting
the LexisNexis form and clicking the paper ESA link (see Exhibit 5-3).
4. You choose to discontinue the registration process by clicking the ‘Cancel’ button on the
‘Additional Verification’ screen (see Exhibit 5-1). 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.

electronically or manually. The following sections provide more detail about each option.
5.2.1
Electronic CDX Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA)
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.
OPP CDX Pesticide Submission Portal Registration User Guide
February 12, 2016

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 packages within PSP. You will be prompted with a question
randomly chosen by the system during the signing process. Important: It is important that your
remember the answers to these five questions. If you forget the answers and lock your account
after three unsuccessful tries, you will have to call the CDX Help Desk to reset the answers.
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 5-6). The questions must be completed before you can
electronically sign the ESA. 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 provided
email address and MyCDX inbox. Important: For security purposes, the answers to these
questions will not be sent to your MyCDX inbox or email address. It is important that your
remember the answers to these five questions. If you forget the answers and lock your account
after three unsuccessful tries, you will have to call the CDX Help Desk to reset the answers.
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 CDX
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 5-7,
Exhibit 5-8, and Exhibit 5-9).
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.

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.
6.1
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 for.
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.
Note: When searching for the organization, please note that the organization ID is a CDX
specific identifier; it is not the OPP Company Number. 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
Profile’ page.

Add PSP to an existing CDX Account
Users may need to submit forms under several different program services. The following
sections provide more details regarding how multiple program services can be added.
6.2.1
Adding Program Services
You may add a program service, such as PSP, and associate a program service with a current
organization or a new organization.
CDX provides twenty questions to choose from which will help validate your identity. You will
be prompted to enter 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 enter 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 (see Section 5.2.1). If the
questions and answers were previously set, you will be directed to a page to view the ESA (see
Exhibit 6-10). 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. The questions must be completed before you
can electronically sign the CDX 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 provided email address and CDX 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 CDX
CROMERR widget process, you will be required to re-validate your user ID and password,
provide the answer to one of the questions, and officially sign the ESA.
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 CDX 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.
Important: If you have already passed identity proofing with another program service and
organization, you will not have to pass LexisNexis verification again. You will instead be
navigated to signing an ESA for the new organization and role (see Exhibit 6-10). After signing
the ESA, you will be able to access PSP.
Important: If you are adding PSP to an organization for which you have already signed an ESA,
you may not have to sign an ESA again (since the identity proofing requirements for each

has been successfully added to your organization, and you will be able to access PSP.

Introduction
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)
developed the Pesticide Submission Portal (PSP) application to allow registrants to electronically
submit pesticide application packages to EPA. PSP allows registrants to create and submit
packages electronically. Applications for pesticide registration can be submitted, including
forms, studies, and draft product labeling. Applicants need not submit multiple electronic copies
of any pieces of their applications. In PR Notice 2011-3, EPA made clear that the requirement to
submit multiple copies of data is applicable only to paper submissions. Similarly, EPA interprets
the requirement to submit five copies of draft labeling in 40 CFR 152.50(e) to apply only to
applications made on paper. As electronic submissions are easily reproducible, EPA will accept
electronic applications containing one copy of all the required elements.
EPA encourages electronic submissions for the following regulatory actions:
• Product Registration – Section 3
o New pesticide active ingredients
o New pesticide products containing already-registered pesticide active ingredients
o FIFRA 6(a)(2) study submissions
o Amendments to registered pesticide products.
• Experimental Use Permit – Section 5
• Petitions for food tolerance
• Distributor products
• Notifications
• Inert Ingredient Request
• Pre-Application
A package created within PSP consists of all documents and metadata required by EPA to
properly process the package. Users may also upload and submit packages created in the eSubmission XML format or the EPA e-Dossier Builder format.
In addition to preparing packages, users may also respond to Data Call-Ins (DCIs). DCI
Acknowledgements, 90-Day Responses, and Data Submissions can be submitted through the
portal. Both Generic Data Call-Ins (GDCIs) and Product-Specific Data Call-Ins (PDCIs) are
supported.
1.1
Purpose

Generate Root MRIDs
EPA uses MRIDs to track and manage information submitted to the pesticide program. An
MRID is a unique, eight-digit number assigned to each study submitted to EPA. The first six
digits are referred to as the root MRID. To submit a package through the PSP application that
will include a study, you must use a root MRID that was previously provided or generate a new
root MRID through the PSP application.
When using MRIDs please keep the following in mind:
• The first MRID always ends in '00' and must be assigned to the transmittal document that
describes the purpose of the submission and lists all of the included studies by title and
MRID.
• MRIDs ending in '01' through '99' are available for assignment to supporting studies.
• If a submission includes more than 99 studies, you will need more than one root MRID.
• List studies on the transmittal document in MRID order without any breaks in sequence.
• Do not use MRIDs from the same root MRID for different submissions.
• Print the MRID ending in '00" on the upper right corner of page one of the transmittal
document.
• Print each study's MRID on the upper right corner of the title page (page one).
You can access the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ screen by clicking the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ link
on the PSP ‘Home’ screen or by clicking the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ tab in the application
header.
After clicking the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ link, you will be navigated to the ‘Generate Root
MRIDs’ screen. A text box labeled ‘Number of Root MRIDs’ will be displayed. Enter the
necessary number of Root MRIDs and click the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ button. Each root
MRID can be used by up to ninety-nine (99) study documents in a single application.
Exhibit 4-1 below displays a screen capture of the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’ screen.
Exhibit 4-1: Generate Root MRIDs
Navigation: Enter the amount of necessary Root MRIDs and click the ‘Generate Root MRIDs’
button; a pop-up will display as the root MRIDs are generated. After system processing, the

5.2
Create Passphrase
A passphrase protects your package from unauthorized disclosure while it is being prepared and
encrypts your package at both rest and submission. To associate a passphrase with a submission,
enter a passphrase that is at least 8 characters long. To protect your package, your passphrase
should contain a combination of letters and numbers. The passphrase you create may include
spaces, but should not contain special characters (for example, +, and *). You can associate the
same passphrase with multiple submissions.
You are responsible for remembering the passphrase and distributing it to only authorized
persons for the package.

Important: If you forget the passphrase, you will be unable to access the package. If you lose or
forget the passphrase, you must create a new package and passphrase. For security reasons, the
system administrator does not have access to the passphrase and will not be able to retrieve it or
reset it to a new one. Exhibit 5-2 below displays a screen capture of the ‘Create Passphrase’

Adding a Study Document on the Documents for the Application Screen
If you would like to add a study document to an application, navigate to that application by
clicking its ‘Application Documents’ link within the navigation tree. Click the ‘Add’ button and
enter data into all the requisite fields. Choosing the ‘Study’ document type will display the ‘Doc
MRID’ field. You will need a six-digit root MRID for each application in your package. If you
need guidance on generating a root MRID, please refer to Section 4 at the beginning of this
document.
Note:
• A root MRID can only be used in a single application. Documents within different
applications cannot use the same root MRID.
• Eight-digit MRIDs must be unique for all ‘Study’ sub-type documents in a package. ‘Study
Profile’ and ‘Supplemental Study Data’ sub-type documents can share the same eight-digit
MRID and should carry the MRID of the parent study.
When entering a MRID, enter the six-digit root followed by a two-digit sequential number for
each document uploaded. For example, when adding the first study document, you would append
the digits ‘01’ to the root MRID 333049. For the next study document (assuming that the
document sub-type is ‘Study’) you would append ‘02’ to the 333049 root MRID. As such, the
first document would have a MRID of 33304901, and the second document would have a MRID
of 33304902.

guidelines differently based on the EPA Registration Number provided.
If you choose to cancel a product registration, you will not have to fill out any of the guidelines
associated with that registration. However, the other product registrations and their guidelines
will remain unaffected. Please refer to the subsequent PDCI sections for more details.
