  1. TRI-MEweb: The Future for TRI Reporting Josh Woodyard 202-566-0738 woodyard.joshua@epa.gov After 20 Years…..Looking Forward

  2. What is TRI-MEweb? • TRI-MEweb is the TRI Program’s new online reporting solution • TRI-MEweb will be available anywhere there is internet access • Users do not need to download anything to their desktop After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  3. Why TRI-MEweb? • Will promote internet reporting • No need to email CDs • No need to test operating system/software compatibility • Application changes can be made instantly • Will lead to earlier data releases due to increases in internet reporting After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  4. RY 2005 TRI-MEweb Pilot • Approximately 100 facilities used the TRI-MEweb pilot application to submit 400 chemical forms for RY 2005. • Luckily, we had minimal technical “hiccups.” • We received a significant amount of positive feedback, and shockingly, some not so positive…… After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  5. Positive Pilot Feedback • “I tried the TRI-MEweb and I like it much better than the old version.” • “I found the web site very easy to maneuver and very user friendly.” • “I was very impressed with the way everything worked. I was able to complete the forms in a very reasonable amount of time, and I got confirmation for the submission almost immediately.” • “The Web Based TRIME program is a significant improvement in the TRI reporting process.” After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  6. …..and the “Constructive Criticism” Feedback • “working the new program was wonderful! I had no issues, easy to use and user friendly. Now in regards to the certifying official process...........this process needs a major improvement so that it becomes a simple and quick process.........plant managers do not have the luxury to spend time loading passwords and waiting on responses....etc....” After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  7. The Cross Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) • What is CROMERR? • Sets requirements for electronic reporting to EPA • E-documents must be transmitted to the Central Data Exchange (CDX) or other e-reporting system designated by the Administrator. After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  8. CROMERR: Enforcing Against e-signatures • E-signatures legally bind or obligate the signatory to the same extent as a handwritten signature. • Proof that a particular e-signature device was used to sign an e-document will suffice to establish intent to sign the e-document and give it effect. After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  9. How Are We Compliant? • TRI-MEweb will require all Certifying Officials (CO) to obtain a CDX username and password and provide a signed Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) prior to electronically signing the submission. • Each CO will be linked to their facility and will only be authorized to e-sign for that facility • COs only need to provide the ESA one time. However, if there is a turnover in the CO role, the new CO must register with CDX and provide an ESA prior to electronically signing the submission. After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  10. CROMERR Implementation Issues • Requiring COs to register with CDX and provide an Electronic Signature Agreement could present lag time issues. • TRI-MEweb will notify the user if a CO has not been designated (see slide 14) • The rate of CO turnover could present administrative issues • Learning Curve…… After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  11. TRI-MEweb: TRI’s Future for Reporting After 20 Years…..Looking Forward

  12. TRI-MEweb Features • Pre-populates Current Year Forms • Automated Section 8 Calculations – No Errors! • Quicklists • Trend Analysis Reports • Data Quality Reports • Dynamic TRI Assistance Library • TRI-MEweb Tutorials After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  13. We Need a CO! After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  14. Forms Ready to Go! • Screen Shot After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  15. Automated Section 8 Calculations After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  16. Facility and Chemical Level Quicklists After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  17. Dynamic TRI Assistance Library After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  18. The Future • We hope to announce the availability of TRI-MEweb soon • If RY 2006 TRI-MEweb is a limited release, we will likely open TRI-MEweb usage for facilities located in the TRI State Data Exchange states • We hope to discontinue TRI-ME CD for RY 2007 depending upon TRI-MEweb’s performance After 20 Years....Looking Forward

  19. TRI-MEweb • Questions? • Concerns? • Comments? After 20 Years....Looking Forward
