This guide provides detailed information about how to use the e-CSF application. It is designed to be both an
instructional guide and reference resource. This guide includes an overview of general e-CSF processes,
instructions for completing each step, and directions for navigating the system. Since the system uses a
"wizard" style, this guide will walk you through the process from start to finish.

e-CSF User Guide
The e-CSF Application will be designed as a stand alone application to support the implementation of Pesticide
Registration Information SysteM (PRISM), and will consist of a variety of commonly used software technologies
and functional components. The application will be developed using Java, and will leverage the use of popular
Java based open source software technologies, such as iText, JiBX, J2EE, and Ant. These technologies and
others are further described in section 5.1. In addition to using robust development tools, the application will be
downloadable from the EPA website to the desktop. This application will allow for a streamlined paperless
process, as well improve access to critical decision documents, and make information readily available to those
both within and outside of the Program.
The application will be designed with specific features to support the following functional areas:
• CSF Form Generation; and
• Data Entry.
In addition to the functional areas identified above, the application will incorporate design considerations that
allow for future interfaces to the e-PRISM interface. Each of the functional areas identified above are described
in further detail in section 3 of this document. The e-CSF Application will allow for form generation as a PDF
directly through the application with the implementation of iText.
One of the primary objectives of the new e-CSF application is to be able to provide the first step to a paperless
process. The future of e-CSF is the integration into the e-Submission portal. By leveraging open standards like
XML, e-CSF can provide the means for transferring and importing data, in a more efficient manner.

3.1 Overview
This section provides the details and instructions necessary to access the e-CSF application. The e-CSF tool is
a stand alone application. To connect to the tool, you need to have the appropriate computer hardware,
software, and network access to download the application.
3.2 Hardware and Software Requirements
The e-Submission system has been tailored to fit the existing network, storage, and server infrastructure at OPP
facilities. The table below denotes the technology standards needed to successfully run the e-Submission
system.
• Windows 2000, NT, orXP
• Internet Explorer 6.0, SP2 or above
• Pentium 4
• 512 MB RAM
• Monitor capable of displaying 1024 X 768 resolution
3.3 Network Requirements
Network connectivity to the World Wide Web is recommended to download the application from the
Environmental Protection Agency's website. However it is not required.
3.4 Navigation
The e-CSF system is built in a "wizard" style to walk you through the process. This style provides clear
sequential steps to accomplish tasks and seamlessly navigate from start to finish. Although each page has a
button or link to display the next page or redisplay the current page with updated information, other navigational
options are available. Below are the navigational methods used in e-CSF:
Tabs
You can navigate through the e-CSF system using the tabs at the top of your screen.
The tabs will take you through various steps of the CSF form:
