Changing DR and ADR

Change the DR

The Designated Representative (DR), Alternate Designated Representative (ADR), or Agent may initiate a change in DR.

To begin, log in to e-GGRT and click the Facility Management tab.

Next, click on the Facility Name.

On the Facility Summary page that appears, click the CHANGE button next to the DR's name.

Select either “Promote the ADR” or “Create a new DR”. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

Note that there can be only one DR per facility and supplier.

Option 1: Promote the ADR

After selecting "Promote the ADR", click the CONTINUE button to promote the ADR to DR. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

On the following page, click the PROMOTE button to promote the current ADR to the DR role.

Upon EPA approval of the new DR, e-GGRT will send the new DR an email that explains how to log in, accept the new DR role, and electronically sign the Certificate of Representation. After the new DR completes the process, the new Certificate of Representation will take effect immediately. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

If you promote the ADR to be the DR, the new DR will retain any Agents they had as the ADR and will have the option to retain the previous DR's Agents. The new DR may also add new Agents.

Option 2: Create a new DR

After selecting "Create a new DR", fill in all required fields (as denoted by red asterisks), then click CONTINUE. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

Upon EPA approval of the new DR, e-GGRT will send the new DR an email that explains how to log in, accept the new DR role, and electronically sign the Certificate of Representation. After the new DR completes the process, the new Certificate of Representation will take effect immediately. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

The new DR will have the option to either add a new ADR or to leave the current ADR as-is (if there is a current ADR listed).

The new DR will also have the option to retain the previous DR's Agents.

The new DR may also add new Agents. For information on how to add new Agents, edit existing Agents, or delete Agents, the new DR may refer to the Changing Agents page.

Please note that the new DR must be an e-GGRT user. If the new DR is not currently a user, he or she should begin the e-GGRT user registration process immediately.

Change the ADR

Only the DR may change or remove the ADR.

To change the ADR, you may remove the current ADR, if there is one, without a replacement or create a new ADR.

Note that there can be only one ADR per facility or supplier.

Select either “Remove the ADR” or “Create a new ADR”. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

Option 1: Remove the ADR

After selecting "Remove the ADR", click the CONTINUE button to remove the current ADR. If you remove the current ADR without a replacement, a new ADR can be added at a later date. To cancel, click CANCEL and you will be returned to the Facility Summary page.

On the following page, click the REMOVE button. You will be prompted to electronically sign a revised Certificate of Representation. Note that upon signature, the outgoing ADR will no longer be able to access data for this facility or supplier. Click the CANCEL button to cancel the change and return to the Facility Summary page.
