The access and use of CDX Registration for the electronic submittal of environmental information require the creation of a user ID and password that I must maintain and keep confidential. I will review the following steps concerning the creation and maintenance of a user ID and password.

Choosing a CDX Password

For CDX registration purposes, I agree to select a password which will not be easily guessed (e.g., my name, my children's names, birthdays, etc.).

This password will be at least eight characters long and contain a mix of letters and numbers.

Protecting my CDX Password

I agree to protect my CDX password.

I will not divulge my password to any other individual; I will not store it in an unprotected location; and I will not allow it to be written into computer scripts to achieve automated login.

Actions to take if my CDX Account has been Compromised

If I have determined that my CDX account has become compromised, I agree to contact the CDX Technical Support staff at 1-888-890-1995 as soon as possible.

Terminating my CDX Account

I agree to notify CDX within ten working days if my duties change and I no longer need to interact with the CDX on behalf of my organization. I agree to make this notification via either the CDX web interface or by notifying the CDX Technical Support staff at 1-888-890-1995. This notification will allow CDX to deactivate my account and protect it from potential abuse by others.
