How Do I Submit to EIS Using the Web Client?
Introduction
The Emissions Inventory System (EIS) receives and stores emissions inventory data and
generates emission inventories. Data are submitted to the EIS using the Consolidated
Emission Reporting Schema (CERS). State, Local, and Tribal Agencies are able to
submit emissions inventory data to EIS using any one of the following mechanisms:
1.	Full Node. Exchange Network Node that allows machine-to-machine
transactions.
2.	Node Client. Software that can be downloaded and installed on your desktop.
3.	Web Client. A web-based submission method that does not require installing
node software.
This section of the EIS User Manual focuses on submitting data using the Web Client.

Emissions Inventory System
How Do I Submit to EIS Using the Web Client?
Step 1: Registering for an EIS Account
The first step in the process for submitting data is to register for an EIS account. You do
this by following the instructions in the section of the EIS User's Manual entitled "How
Do I Request Access to the EIS Gateway." You can find the document at this web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/eis/access.pdf.
Step 2: Creating your XML file for Submission
The next step in the submission process is to generate your EIS CERS XML file. You
first want to refer to the NEI/EIS Implementation Plan, which is located at this web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/neip/index.html
In particular, you want to focus on these sections:
•	Section 5: Submitting XML Data to the EIS.
•	Section 6: Reporting Instructions for Facility Inventory
•	Section 7: Reporting Instructions for Point Emissions
•	Section 8: Reporting Instructions for Nonpoint Emissions
•	Section 9: Reporting Instructions for Onroad/Nonroad Activity
•	Section 10: Reporting Instructions for Onroad/Nonroad Emissions
•	Section 11: Reporting Instructions for Event Emissions
•	Section 12: Reporting Instructions for Aircraft, Locomotive, and Commercial Marine
Vessel Emissions
•	Appendix 2: The Consolidated Emissions Reporting Schema

Step 3: Login to the Web Client
When you are ready to submit your file, log onto the Web Client at the following web
site: https://nodewebrss.epa.gov/user/EIS.aspx
You will use the same User ID and password to log on to the Web Client that you use for
the EIS Gateway. Please note that the User ID is case sensitive.

Step 4: Selecting the File You Want to Submit
Before you select a file to submit, remember these rules about the EIS CERS XML file:
•	The EIS submission file consists of an XML document, made up of the Exchange
Header (Version 2.0) and the payload, and any attached file.
•	The Payload is the actual EIS data, adhering to the structure of the CERS.
•	Any supporting documents (for the NMIM activity data or GIS files) are attached in
the form of binary attachments. These data attachments are referenced by name in
the CERS payload section of the document, but the data attachment content exists as
separate documents external to the Document structure.
•	All of these items are submitted in a single compressed '.zip' file.
•	Only one category of data is allowed to be included in each .zip file; more than one
category of data will cause the entire file to be rejected by EIS.
When the EIS Data Exchange has been selected, the following screen will appear:

After you have selected the appropriate zip file, you have the option to enter the Email

submission. Enter as many valid email addresses as you like, separating each with a
comma.
Important Process Note
Any Email address you add in the Emails To Notify line will be the default recipient
of the notifications from CDX. This means that unless the submitters address is also
entered, they will not receive any email notifications from CDX.
When you are ready to send the file, click on the Submit button.
