• Create an electronic version of the Notice of Commencement Form (NOC)
• Create an electronic version of the Biotech form
• Create a supporting/supplemental form to submit information for a previously submitted
PMN
• Validate the data in a form
• Sanitize PMN data
• Create PDF versions of a form suitable for printing
• Allow attachments
• Edit form data
• Save incomplete form data
• Open a previously saved form
• Provide integrated help
• Allow forms to be submitted on paper, on CD, or online.
• Be standalone and platform-independent

For users who prefer to work without a mouse, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts to
navigate the eTSCA/e-PMN software. When the application focus is on the navigator window,
the Up Arrow and Down Arrow will move forward and backward respectively through the
forms in the navigation pane. Pressing Ctrl+F will manually give focus to the form editor
window. With the application focus on this window, the Ctrl + Right Arrow and Ctrl + Left
Arrow combinations will work to traverse the forms. Pressing the Tab button will toggle
between fields within a form. If a table is encountered, tabbing will only move the focus amongst
fields within that table. To exit the table and move the focus to the field following the table, press

Projects can be saved in an incomplete state to be finished later. Note that incomplete forms
cannot be submitted to EPA. When Save or Save As is selected from the toolbar or the file
menu, eTSCA/e-PMN automatically runs a validation check on the currently open form. If there
are validation errors (due to invalid data or incomplete fields), the error message seen in Figure
3-1 will appear, stating that the file was saved with validation errors. A validation window will
appear at the bottom of the screen detailing the errors.

4 Central Data Exchange (CDX)
The EPA Central Data Exchange (CDX) is a service that enables users to electronically submit
data to EPA.
Pre-registration with CDX is required to submit online. Please see the CDX Registration Guide
for more information on how to register with CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/TSCA/ eTSCA-
CDX_Registration_Guide.pdf)
eTSCA/e-PMN contains a CDX component that performs the following tasks:
• Connecting to the CDX Node
• Validation of the submission information with CDX Registration
• Generation of the cryptographic key pair
• Encryption of the file
• Decryption of the file
• Transmission of the document - ability to electronically submit eTSCA projects to EPA
via the CDX Node
• Transaction Search - ability to search the submitted documents by CDX Transaction ID
number
• Document Download - ability to download ancillary documents related to submission,

5 Pre-Manufacture Notice Form
5.1 Usage
Any organization planning to manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by Section 5 of TSCA to provide the Environmental Protection
Agency with notice before initiating the activity. This Pre-manufacture notice, or PMN, must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to the manufacture or import of the chemical. For more
information on the New Chemicals Program, please visit:
http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/index.htm.
The PMN form should be used to submit PMNs, SNUNs, LVEs and LoRex Exemptions and
Modifications, TMEA exemptions, and Mock PMNs.

9.2 Paper Submission
If the paper submission option is chosen, eTSCA/e-PMN will create a PDF file in your current
working directory called "_finalized.pdf' and, if necessary, a suitable for
submission sanitized PDF file called "_sanitized_finalized.pdf." For example,
a PMN project called "projl.pmn_tsca" will produce a "projl_finalized.pdf" submission file.
PDF files will contain a barcode on the top-left corner of each page. This is used by EPA for
scanning purposes.
If the form contains attachments, the finalized PDF will have a header page for each attachment.
Attachments should be printed out (if not already a hardcopy) and placed behind each attachment
header page.
9.3 CD Submission
If the CD submission option is chosen, eTSCA/e-PMN will create a "finalized" project file
called "_finalized." in the current working
directory. For example, a PMN project called "projl.pmn_tsca" will produce a
"projl_finalized.pmn_tsca" read-only file. The finalized file will contain the sanitized data.
eTSCA CDX Registration Guide
December 28, 2009
Submission Process
-------
eTSCA/e-PMN will also create a certification PDF print out containing the MD5 checksum
value of the file. This checksum number uniquely identifies the content of the finalized file. If
the finalized file is changed in any way, the checksum will not be reproducible. In other words,
the checksum guarantees that data has not been tampered with after it leaves the user's hands.
This file will use the naming convention "_cert."
(e.g., "projl.pmn_tsca" will produce a "projl_cert.pdf" file).
The certification file will also contain the cover letter, the certification/signature page (PMN
page 2) and the contact information page (PMN page 3). Please certify and sign when
appropriate and submit the original with the CD to the EPA by courier.
The finalized file must be burned to a CD and submitted along with a copy of the PDF printout
containing the checksum. PMN and NOC form printouts must also be signed and dated.
9.4 Online CDX Submission
Only CDX registered users will be able to use the CDX submission option. Please see the CDX
Registration Guide for more information on how to register with CDX
((https://cdx.epa.gov/TSCA/eTSCA-CDX_Registration_Guide.pdf). Users submitting on behalf
of another organization must have registered the names of those companies and be authorized to
submit for those organizations.
After selecting the Finalize button and after choosing to submit via CDX, eTSCA/e-PMN creates
a "finalized" project file called "_finalized." in a
directory of your choosing. For example, a PMN project called "projl.pmn_tsca" will produce a
"projl_finalized.pmn_tsca" read-only file.
Users will be prompted to enter a username and password in order to login before submission

9.4.1 User Certificate arid Key Pair Generation
A user certificate and Private/Public Key pair is used to digitally sign and encrypt the submitted
documents, providing security protection for eTSCA/e-PMN submissions. The certificate and
key pair will be automatically obtained by the Node Client after the first login.
The Node Client stores the following data into a key store under the user home directory:
• user ID
• user private key
• user certificate
• creation time
The following file will be created: \\ .-cromerr-keystore.jks where
is a local user home directory (C:\Documents and Settings\myuser) and is
an eTSCA/e-PMN user ID registered with CDX Web. Since this file is stored on the user's local
drive, the user will only be able to access the submitted documents from this specific machine
unless the key file is copied into the same location of another machine. In any case, the user can
copy this file to another safe location for backup, if desired.

The user can search for a specific transaction using the "Transaction ID" and "Transaction
Status" fields, or request a complete list of transactions during a given period by using the "Start
Date" and "End Date" fields. Search results will be presented to the user in the "Transaction
Search Results" panel.
There are two icons located next to each transaction listed in the search result: the "Check
Status" button and the "Details" button. The "Check Status" button will refresh the status column
of a given transaction with a new CDX status. This provides the user a simple and effective
method of monitoring transactions. The "Details" button will open the transaction details dialog.
9.5.1 Transaction Details
The "Transaction Details" tab (pictured in Figure 9-12 above) displays the detailed transaction
information, including all of the documents and reports associated with the transaction.
Transaction status can be viewed by clicking the "Check Status" button. The "Audit Details"
button will display audit information related to the transaction, as seen in Figure 9-16.

Windows XP
To setup *.jnlp association for Java Web Start in Windows, please follow the following steps:
1. In Windows, Click Start I Settingsl Control Panell Folder Options I File Types.
2. Check to see if there is already an association for *.jnlp files.
3. If there is no entry for *.jnlp files already then click new I advanced I select "jnlp file"
4. If there is an entry, Select it and click advanced
5. Then edit the open application used to perform action field and make sure it is set to
"C:\Program Files\java\jre6\bin\javaws.exe"
Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard)
JNLP files may lose association with Java Web Start after a Java software update. This will
disable Mac OS users from downloading the eTSCA/e-PMN software using the Safari browser.
There are two ways to re-associate JNL with the Java Web Start application. Option 1 is
recommended for novice users, while option two may be more suitable for Mac OS experts.
Option 1
1. Navigate to the Core Services folder located at /System/Library/Core Services
2. Open this folder. Opening the Core Services folder re-associates the .jnlp files with
the Java Web Start application
3. Close the window and reattempt to load the eTSCA/e-PMN software
Option 2
1. Navigate to the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
2. Enter the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.
framework/Support/lsregister "/System/Library/CoreServices/Java Web Start.app"
3. Close Terminal and reattempt to load the eTSCA/e-PMN software
