Instructions for the Agent Notice of Delegation
Note: Designated Representatives can submit the Notice of Delegation online through the CAMD Business
System (CBS) at https://camd.epa.gov/CBS/login/auth. The Designated Representative must have a user
ID and password. If the Designated Representative needs a user ID and password, he/she should send
an email to [email protected].
A Designated Representative may delegate, to one or more natural persons, his or her authority to make
an electronic submission on his or her behalf, in a format prescribed by the Administrator. In order to
delegate authority to make an electronic submission to the Administrator on his or her behalf, the
Designated Representative must submit to the Administrator a notice of delegation. This notice shall be
effective upon receipt by the Administrator and until receipt by the Administrator of a superseding notice of
delegation. The superseding notice of delegation may replace any previously identified agent, add a new
agent, or eliminate entirely any delegation of authority. Note that the agent delegation applies to all of the
CAMD programs for which the Designated Representative has assumed responsibility.
Agents can be given varying levels of authority, and a person may be designated as more than one type of
Agent. In addition, a Representative may assign more than one person the same Agent type.
Please type or print.
STEP 1 Enter the information for the Representative delegating authority to an Agent to make electronic
submissions on his or her behalf. Note that the agent delegation applies to all of the CAMD
programs for which the Representative has assumed responsibility.

in Step 1.
STEP 3 Enter the information for the Agent to whom the Representative is delegating authority to make

STEP 4 Check the CBS and/or ECMPS Agent types that apply for the Agent listed in Step 3.
CBS Agent Types:
Source Management - An Agent who has the authority to perform the following using the CAMD
Business System (CBS): add or edit facility, unit, owner, operator, representative information
(Certificates of Representation), or provide facility contact information.
Allowance Trading - An Agent who has the authority to perform allowance transfers using CBS.
General Account Management - An Agent who has the authority to perform the following using
CBS: add or edit account information for existing general accounts, representative and binding
party information; or add a new general account.
Compliance - An Agent who has the authority to perform the following annual compliance related
tasks using CBS: submit annual compliance certifications (if required); submit allowance
deduction information and submit common stack allowance deduction information.
ECMPS Agent Types:
Retrieve Monitoring Plan, QA, and Emissions Data - An Agent who has the authority to retrieve
monitoring plan, QA, and emissions data from the EPA host system, and load it into their
Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) Client Tool. Retrieve agents have
access to all facilities and units for a representative, since they are only able to retrieve data from
the EPA host system but CANNOT submit to the EPA host system.

1

Submit Monitoring Plan Data - An Agent who has the authority to retrieve and submit monitoring
plan data from the ECMPS Client Tool up to the EPA host system, for all units for which that
responsibility has been assigned. You MUST include a list of facilities and units for which
this agent type applies. See instructions below. *
Submit Monitoring Plan and QA Data - An Agent who has the authority to retrieve and submit
monitoring plan and QA data from the ECMPS Client Tool up to the EPA host system, for all units
for which that responsibility has been assigned. If you assign a person as a Submit Monitoring
Plan and QA Data agent, you do not need to also assign the person as a Submit Monitoring Plan
Data agent. You MUST include a list of facilities and units for which this agent type applies.
See instructions below. *
Submit Monitoring Plan, QA, and Emissions Data - An Agent who has the authority to retrieve
and submit monitoring plan, QA, and emissions data from the ECMPS Client Tool up to the EPA
host system, for all units for which that responsibility has been assigned. If you assign a person
as a Submit Monitoring Plan, QA, and Emissions Data agent, you do not need to also assign the
person as a Submit Monitoring Plan Data or Submit Monitoring Plan and QA Data agent. You
MUST include a list of facilities and units for which this agent type applies. See instructions
below. *
* Specifying Facilities and Units for ECMPS Agent Types: In order to ensure that submittal
authority is correctly delegated and to avoid facility ID and unit ID discrepancies, you MUST
include a list of Facilities and Units generated using the CAMD Business System (CBS). Anyone
with a CBS user ID and password can generate this list for any Representative. To generate this
list, log in to CBS and click the Reports button on the upper left side of the home page. In Step 1,
select People Reports. In Step 2, select Units by Representative. Click the Continue button. Find
the Representative in the list, highlight the name and click the Select button. Click the Print button
to print the report. Once the report is printed, check the Facility Name/Unit IDs on the printed list
as appropriate for the selected agent type. If you wish to select all Facilities and Units, you can
check the "Select All Units" box at the top of the printed list. You can NOT check the boxes online.
You must check them manually on the printed list.
STEP 5 The Representative delegating authority to an Agent must read the certification statements, and
sign and date the notice of delegation.
