Welcome to the CDX Test environment. This is a non-production environment and is not to be used for any regulatory activity.

CDXCentral Data Exchange

Terms and Conditions

The access and use of CDX Registration for the electronic submittal of environmental information require the creation of a CDX User ID and login credentials that I must maintain and keep confidential. I will review the following steps concerning the creation and maintenance of a CDX User ID and login credentials.

Privacy Statement

EPA will use the personal identifying information which you provide for the expressed purpose of registration to the Central Data Exchange site and for updating and correcting information in internal EPA databases as necessary.

Protecting my CDX Login Credentials

I agree to protect my CDX User ID and login credentials.

I will not divulge my credentials to any other individual; I will not store them in an unprotected location; and I will not allow them to be written into computer scripts to achieve automated login.

I also acknowledge that EPA is not responsible for recovering access to my CDX account should I lose or delete my associated Login.gov account. Although Login.gov recommends deleting an account if the authentication method(s) is/are lost for any reason, CDX will not offer a means to relink the account due to security implications. Thus, revocation or loss of a Login.gov account will render the associated CDX account defunct, and retrieval of the account’s submission history (Copy of Record) will necessitate submitting a notarized request on company letterhead via paper mail to EPA with proper certification of authorization.
