Abstract: The ODS Tracking System (ODSTS) is a database system that serves as the primary vehicle for tracking the production and consumption of class I and class II controlled substances in the United States. The ODSTS currently allows producers, importers, and exporters of class I (excluding methyl bromide) and class II substances and class I laboratory suppliers to submit quarterly and annual reports electronically; all other reports required under 40 CFR Part 82.13, 82.20, and 82.24 must be submitted to EPA in hardcopy. EPA is updating the electronic reporting option for those who submit required data under the current approved ICRs to provide the option of electronic reporting of all forms and the import petition process through the Agency’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). CDX is EPA’s electronic system for environmental data exchange to the Agency. CDX also provides the capability for submitters to access their data through the use of web services. CDX enables EPA to work with stakeholders, including governments, regulated industries, and the public to enable streamlined, electronic submission of data via the Internet. For more information about CDX, go to http://epa.gov/cdx
