How Do I Submit a Support Request within the EIS Gateway?
Introduction
The EIS Gateway includes the functionality to allow users to send messages to the EPA
concerning any number of issues. Called Support, this functionality was developed to
ensure a consistent method for sending and tracking issues that relate to the Emissions
Inventory System process. This section of the EIS User's Guide addresses how to send a
support request. For details on how to interact with your requests and requests sent by
other users, see the section entitled "How Do I View and Respond to Support Requests."

category per request. If you have multiple i ssues for which you need assistance, you
will need to submit multiple requests.

most cases, or select the name of someone on whose behalf you are submitting the
request.
D.	Support Request Message: This is the box where you'll explain in more detail the
issue for which the request is being submitted. There is a character limit to this field,
as noted by the indicator below the box.
After you have completed all of the fields, select the Save button. You may also select
the Clear button to begin again or select the Cancel button to return to the main page.

NOTE: Depending on your user type, you may only be able to see certain requests. For
instance, State, Local, and Tribal users will only be able to see the support requests that
were submitted for their agency while certain types of EPA users will be able to see all of
the support requests, regardless of who submitted the request.
