1 Introduction to the NPDES eReporting Tool (NeT)
This user guide provides step-by-step instructions and guidance on how to use NeT.
1.1 Background
EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance (OECA) released the Clean Water Act Action
Plan (CWAAP) in October 2009. This plan contained ambitious short- and long-term goals for
revamping the approach to improve compliance reporting for Clean Water laws. One major goal
of the CWAAP is to improve transparency and accountability in compliance activities. The plan
identified increasing electronic reporting of data by regulated entities as one of the keys to
achieving that goal. As part of this effort, OECA has written a draft rule that will require the
electronic submittal of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) data by the
regulated community. To support this draft rule, OECA, in partnership with the Office of Water
(OW) and other EPA and state/tribal agencies, has developed the NPDES Electronic Reporting
Tool (NeT) to facilitate electronic data reporting and submittal of Notice of Intent (NOI) data to
the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS).
EPA plans to require electronic submission of data by the regulated community in phases
according to the following schedule:
• Rule Phase I: All EPA General Permits and All EPA and State Concentrated
Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) General Permits: one year after publication of
final rule: Includes all Notices of Intent (NOIs) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit, forms changing the NOI coverage, No Exposure Certification (NEI) and Low
Erosivity Waiver (LEW) forms indicating why coverage is not needed, and notices of
termination of coverage (NOTs). All forms for all EPA General Permits and all CAFO
General Permits issued by delegated agencies will need to be supported by the tool.
• Rule Phase II: Remaining General Permits and Program Reports: two years after
publication of final rule: Includes all the forms for all remaining assumed NPDES
program General Permits. Additionally, includes the program reports required by EPA
permits such as CAFO annual reports and Stormwater Event reports.
This document outlines the Regulatory Authorities role in the electronic submittal of all NOIs,
changes to NOIs and NOT forms by Regulated Community (RC) users and the processes
associated with form submission in NeT.

2 Getting Started
The following sections describe what you need to know to begin using NeT as a Regulatory
Authority user.
2.1 Before You Begin
Throughout this document, there will be four primary kinds of users referred to:
• Regulatory Authority (RA): users who work for an environmental agency responsible
for administering the NPDES program such as EPA Headquarters, Regions, or States;
these users receive submitted eNOI forms and may review and accept or reject the forms
• Registration Maintenance Account Manager (RMAM): users who have the ability to
grant and assist rights and roles to CDX users; each RMAM shall ensure CDX
registration maintenance dataflow and registration data are protected from loss, misuse,
or unauthorized access/modification of systems or dataflow
• Regulated Community (RC): users who are subject to NPDES environmental
regulations and are responsible for applying for a Notice of Intent to Discharge form.
Certifier: A user who has the authority to sign and submit an eNOI form from
NeT and has successfully completed a Digital Signature Agreement (DSA). A
Certifier can also fill out forms.
Preparer: A user who has been designated authority to have the ability to
populate/prepare forms for a specific organization and NPDES general permit.
Preparers do not have authority in the system to sign and submit forms; however,
they have the ability to route a form to a valid Certifier to complete the form
submission process
• System Administrator (SA): users who work for EPA Headquarters and administer the
site, including such functions as posting forms and managing the portal.
2.2 NeT Overview
Below is a high level depiction of the NeT system which includes activities in CDX, NeT, and
ICIS.

To access the NeT application all users will be required to login through CDX. Therefore, all
users must register in CDX before they can access the NeT application. Once User IDs have
been established, users can login to CDX, navigate to NeT and submit forms. Certifiers will be
able to review all forms and will be required to digitally sign and submit all approved forms to
the Regulatory Authority. The Regulatory Authority will have the opportunity to approve or
reject forms prior to submitting them to ICIS. CDX will store the CORs and ICIS will process
the transaction and notify users of the results of the transactions.
2.3 Computer System Requirements
NeT requires the following system requirements to run efficiently:
• Internet Access Requirements
High-speed access to the Internet, such as DSL, cable-modem, Tl, or partial T1 is
preferred but the application will support slower speeds.
• Hardware Requirements
Minimum Pentium III processor and 128 megabytes of RAM.
• Browser Requirements
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or higher
Mozilla Firefox 15 or higher
Google Chrome 22 or higher
• Other Requirements

The "Inbox" tab displays all messages from CDX for the registered user. These messages
include account specific messages. Contrary to the RC users, RA users will not see notifications
for each form submission because the RA does not submit forms. A Copy of Record (COR) for
each form submitted in NeT is stored at CDX. Currently, RA users should contact the Certifier
to get a copy of a COR. A future enhancement to CDX will allow RA users to view CORs.

form submitted in NeT is stored at CDX. RA users will need to submit requests for CORs

coverage or make changes to existing coverage. The eNOT form allows users who have an
existing NPDES ID to terminate coverage for the entire permit or one or more structures
associated to a permit.

5.3 NeT RA Approval Process
Once a form is received by the RA approval group, there are multiple approval process flows
that can be applied. Each Regulatory Authority will determine what type of approval process is
needed for their specific permits. The RA Approval Process options include:
• Immediate Submission
• Single Approval Group by Form
• Single Approval Group by Permit
• Variable Approval Group by Form Data
• Assignment Approval Groups
The following terms may apply to the approval process for your permit:
• Review period: the time in which a regulatory authority must approve the form.
• Auto-Approval: a form will automatically approve after a specified wait period in
which the regulatory authority did not go into the system to approve.
NeT Regulatory Authority User Guide 37 12/21/2012

• Wait period: the time in which a form requires action from a regulatory authority, and if
the regulatory authority does not go into the system within this time, the form is auto-
approved.
• Escalation: an action happens after a form has been waiting in the queue for a specified
amount of time (i.e., goes to another regulatory authority).
A brief description and process flow diagram for each approval process are included in the
following sections.
5.3.1 Immediate Submission
For Immediate Submission, there is no waiting period for the time a form is signed and
submitted by the certifier to the time the form data is sent to ICIS. Immediate submission can
apply to some or all forms.

Once a form is auto-approved, the form status will change to Active. The system will generate a
NPDES ID for the new NOI, the permit dates, and unique Permitted Feature IDs for each
structure listed in the NOI. The system will then translate data from the form into ICIS XML
transactions. This form will generate a New General Permit, and one or more New Copy MGP
Limit Set XML transactions. The system will submit the XML transactions to ICIS via CDX to
create a new General Permit Covered Facility (GPCF), and ICIS will copy down Permitted
Feature, Limit Set, and Limit data from the Master General Permit (MGP) to the newly created
GPCF.
6.1.2.1 Results of ICIS XML Transaction Processing
An email notification will be sent to the Region 6 RA User Group members indicating whether
or not the transaction was processed by ICIS successfully. If the transaction is processed without
any errors, the following email is sent.

needed from the RC user(s), the RA user working on the form will be expected to mitigate the
issue.

6.3.2 Immediate Submission to ICIS
The submitted form will be auto-approved by the system within one minute of receipt by the
Region 6 RA Group, which begins the process for generating the XML transactions to be
submitted to ICIS.
Once a form is auto-approved, the form status will change to Active. The system will generate
data as needed based on the specific terminations submitted. The system will then translate data
from the form into ICIS XML transactions. The system will submit the XML transactions to
ICIS via CDX.
6.3.2.1 Results of ICIS XML Transaction Processing
An email notification will be sent to the Region 6 RA User Group members indicating whether
or not the transaction was processed by ICIS successfully. If the transaction is processed without
any errors, the following email is sent.
