SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Does this notice apply to me?
Forms and Procedures for Submitting
Attest Engagements Under Various
Subparts
This action affects regulated parties
who submit attest engagements to EPA
under various 40 C.F.R. Part 80
programs, including the reformulated
gasoline, anti-dumping, gasoline sulfur,
and benzene programs, and the
renewable fuel standard. The specific
programs and forms affected are
discussed in Section III—What Reports
Must Be Submitted via CDX? Reports
due or submitted to EPA on or after May
8, 2013 must be submitted to the OTAQ
Fuels Reporting System via the EPA
Central Data Exchange (CDX). As of that
date, regulated parties will no longer be
permitted to submit attest engagements
by any method other than CDX (e.g. EPA
will no longer accept reports sent by
mail). This notice also affects the
resubmission of any attest engagement
report to EPA, if the resubmission
occurs on or after May 8, 2013. If you
have further questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a
particular party, please contact the
person listed in FOR FURTHER

ACTION: Notice.
II. Why is EPA switching to allelectronic submission of attest
engagements using CDX?
EPA’s Office of
Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ)
is announcing that attest engagements
reports due on or after May 8, 2013 must
be submitted via EPA’s Central Data
Exchange (CDX). The substance of the
attest engagement report itself is
unchanged. EPA is switching to allelectronic reporting using the Central
Data Exchange (CDX) because it is
simple, cost effective, and efficient. As
of May 8, 2013, parties will no longer
be permitted to submit attest
engagements via any method but CDX.
This notice affects parties subject to
attest engagement requirements of fuels
programs, including reformulated
gasoline, anti-dumping, gasoline sulfur,
benzene content, and the renewable fuel
standard.
DATES: The attest engagement
procedures described in this notice are
effective starting with attest
The Central Data Exchange (CDX)
enables fast, efficient, and secure
submission of data to EPA. The EPA
Administrator designated CDX in the
Cross-Media Electronic Reporting
Regulation (CROMERR), 40 CFR part 3,
published in the Federal Register on
October 13, 2005 (70 FR 59848) (FRL–
7977–1). CROMERR provides the legal
framework for electronic reporting
under EPA’s regulations, and requires
any regulated entity that submits
electronic documents directly to EPA to
use CDX or an alternative system
designated by the Administrator. CDX
provides a single, centralized point of
access for regulated entities to submit
information electronically to EPA; and
ensures the legal dependability of
electronically submitted documents and
provide a secure environment for data
exchange.
Among the advantages offered by CDX
are the following features, which will

improve submission and handling of
attest engagements required under
various 40 CFR Part 80 fuels programs.
CDX allows parties to:
• Submit data through one
centralized and secure point of access;
• Receive confirmation from EPA
when submissions are received;
• Identify and download a copy of
record of what was submitted
• Submit data in a variety of formats
including Excel and flat-file; and
• Reduce costs associated with
submitting and processing data
submissions.
• EPA does not charge the regulated
party to set up a CDX account.
All active regulated parties subject to
40 CFR Part 80 already have CDX
accounts and EPA’s reporting forms and
procedures already specify the
submission of compliance reports using
CDX. However, to date we have only
permitted the submission of attest
engagement reports by mail. Attest
engagement reports due or submitted on
or after May 8, 2013, may not be
submitted by mail, and must be
submitted using CDX.
There are several reasons for
eliminating alternative submission
options. Physical media such as paper,
CDs, and diskettes submitted to EPA via
postal mail is irradiated for security
reasons, and is often damaged as a
result. This type of damage cannot occur
with a CDX transmission. Storing paper
and physical media associated with
attest engagements requires a significant
amount of secure storage space. With
CDX, no superfluous paper record or
physical object requiring special storage
is generated by the submitter. EPA is
able to more quickly and efficiently
process reports received through CDX,
and the amount of paper and physical
media that must be utilized, reviewed,
stored, and eventually archived, is
greatly reduced. Costs associated with
physical storage are also reduced.
EPA believes there is no reason to
provide for alternatives to CDX and that
exclusive use of CDX will increase
efficiency and lower the costs associated
with the submission and processing of
attest engagements. It will also enhance
the availability and integrity of
information stored in our compliance
database. Attest engagement reports are
generally not publicly available (since
they often contain information claimed
as confidential business information by
the submitter), but the data must be
made available to EPA program and
enforcement personnel. By utilizing
CDX, information is entered into our
compliance database and available for
use much more quickly. By fully
utilizing CDX, we expect not only
