1. Identity Verification
2. Electronic Signature Agreement
The program you are registering for requires additional proof of identity. Your options are to use LexisNexis1, an independent 3rd-Party electronic identity--
proofing service or to print and submit a signed form through U.S. Postal Mail to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA uses third party sites to offer you a way to immediately comply with identity proofing requirements. The alternative paper process may take 1 0 days or more.
When using these sites, the information provided is consistent with the intended purpose of the EPA website.
Note By clicking [Proceed to Verification] you understand the service is totally voluntarily and that you are validating personally identifying information including
last 4 digits of SSN against a 5rd-Party service LexisNexis*, which will return evidence of validation of your personally identifying information back to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. The U.S. EPA will not collect or retain sensitive, personally identifying information such as SSN; however, EPA will receive evidence
of identity validation which may be used to identify you for legal purposes.
You may sign the paper form if you do not want to use the automatic verification process.
Note: You will receive a limited number of attempts to complete identity verification. Please review all personal information carefully prior
to submitting. If you need to modify the personal information listed below, please contact the CDX Help Desk.

S I have reviewed the name presented above and I would like to proceed with LexisNexis. Additional LexisNexis Identity Proofing Guidance
\
This page will provide you with two options: (1) use LexisNexis Identity Proofing to
electronically validate your identity, allowing you to electronically sign an Electronic Signature
Agreement (ESA) or (2) move forward to print, sign and mail in a paper ESA.
Section 2.2.1 will take you through the process of completing LexisNexis and electronically
signing your ESA.
Section 2.2.2 will take you through the process of printing, signing and mailing in your paper
ESA.
2.2.1 LexisNexis Verification
This section will take you through the registration steps if you choose to use the LexisNexis
Identity Proofing process.
If you choose to proceed with LexisNexis you will need to review all of the information provided
on the Identity Verification page in Figure 2-8 above. After you have reviewed the information
and verified your first and last name, check the checkbox and click the "Proceed to Verification"

3 DC FUEL Access
3.1 Activation of your Role
If you chose to print, sign and mail in your ESA and OTAQReg change request delegation letter
paperwork, the OTAQ Program must activate your role in CDX in order to access the DC FUEL
application and submit reports. OTAQ will either activate or deny your DC FUEL access
pending receipt of your Electronic Signature Agreement and review of your OTAQReg
registration.
If you were able to electronically sign your ESA, the DC FUEL link will automatically be
activated. You may enter the DC FUEL application but you will be unable to make submissions
until your company is registered and you have the appropriate roles within the OTAQReg
application.
The "OTAQDCFUEL: OTAQ DC FUEL Application" dataflow link, as seen in Figure 3-1, will
not appear as clickable until your role is activated by the OTAQ Program.
Once your role is activated, you will receive an e-mail notification with the subject "CDX
Registration Status Change" confirming that your registration status has changed.
3.2 Access DC FUEL Dataflow
You may now access the OTAQ DC FUEL application and submit reports to EPA.
