How long will it take for me to register for CDX/CEDRI?
For users registering under the Preparer role, no identity proofing is required, and registration can take less than 3 minutes. For users who are registering as a Certifier, additional identity proofing is required. As a Certifier, you will be prompted to follow the registration steps that support the LexisNexis identity verification or Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) signing process. The ESA process requires you to send a paper form to the EPA, and it can take up to 2 weeks to complete the registration process. If you are an existing CDX user, you can request to add the CEDRI program service to your existing CDX account from `Active Program Services List¿. Please note that your ESA must be processed before your role as a CEDRI Certifier is activated within CDX.

When do I use the LexisNexis process versus the ESA signing process (paper signature process)?
CROMERR regulations require you to prove your identity while registering as a user in CDX. CDX uses a third-party provider, LexisNexis, to provide identity proofing by collecting PII information. ESA signing process is an extension of LexisNexis. The ESA document in itself is the legally binding agreement that allows you to declare your true identity.
If you pass the LexisNexis process while verifying your identity, then you can sign the ESA instantly and electronically online. If LexisNexis is unable to verify your information, you would have to print the ESA, sign it manually and send it to EPA. It can take up to 2 weeks for the paper processing to complete and to have the user role activated in CDX.
Please note that your ESA must be processed before your role as a CEDRI Certifier is activated within CDX.

What is the difference between a Certifier and a Delegated Certifier?
CDX allows CEDRI Certifiers, as a representative of a reporting organization, to authorize another user to modify, sign, and submit packages to CDX for the organization, known as a Delegated Certifier. The Delegated Certifier is authorized to perform the same tasks as the Certifier (i.e. create and submit reports). However, a Delegated Certifier may not delegate their role to another representative. Registration for this role cannot be requested by a user but rather initiated by a Certifier through the CDX role sponsorship function. Only CEDRI Certifiers can initiate the role sponsorship process.
Contractors are prohibited from being appointed as a Delegated Certifier.

How do I locate and resubmit a report that was pushed back to me?
When a report is ''pushed back'' by a State or EPA Regional Reviewer, the Certifier who submitted the report receives a notification to the email address on record with CDX. The email contains reviewer comments regarding the pushed back report, as well as a Report Name link that takes you directly to the Upload Documents step where you can upload the revised report.
The pushed back report will also be available on your MyCEDRI Dashboard in the Reports Under Development list with a status of ''Resubmission Under Development (Step 2)''.
When you revise and resubmit the report, the original report will be replaced in CEDRI and WebFIRE by the revised report.
