Submitting  Reports on Diskette
      After data entry is complete and the data is validated, the software

      submission to EPA. The software also prompts you to create
      another diskette to send to your state.  Diskettes must be formatted
      using DOS 5.0 or higher on an IBM PC or compatible computer.

Submitting  Electronically to States
      Submitters must submit a copy of each Form R or Form A to the
      appropriate state agency (see the table below to determine if the state
      accepts magnetic media).
