a

facility
...
profile,

including

address
...
and

owner/operator

information.
...
You

search

to

see

if

your

facility/supplier
...
is
...
already
...
in

e-GGRT.
...
After

you

you

must

then
...
identify

the

...
All

have

2. EPA Review
EPA will review all appointments and send the DR, ADR or Agent an email invitation containing an invitation code.
3. DR and ADR Acceptance
After receiving the invitation from EPA, the DR/ADR will need to log in to e-GGRT to accept his/her appointment. If this individual does not yet have an e-GGRT account, he/she must first complete the e-GGRT user registration process. Once EPA has activated the DR/ADR’s user account, the DR/ADR can then enter his/her invitation code to accept (or reject) the appointment.
The DR may appoint an ADR to act on his/her behalf. If the person registering the facility/supplier previously identified an ADR, the DR will be able to confirm this selection, choose a different person or select no one to be the ADR. Please note that a facility/supplier does not need to have an ADR.
Both the DR and the ADR may appoint one or more Agents to act on his/her behalf. Please note that a facility/supplier does not need to have an Agent.
After accepting his/her appointment, the DR/ADR will review and electronically sign the Certificate of Representation (COR), which establishes the DR/ADR's authority to certify, sign and submit annual GHG reports to EPA.
Each facility/supplier must have a complete Certificate of Representation in order to submit the annual GHG report to EPA. The deadline for submitting the Certificate of Representation is at least 60 days before the reporting deadline.
4. Agent Acceptance
After receiving the invitation from EPA, the Agent will need to log in to e-GGRT to accept his/her appointment. If the Agent does not yet have an e-GGRT account, he/she must first complete the e-GGRT user registration process. Once EPA has activated the Agent’s user account, the Agent can then enter his/her invitation to code to accept (or reject) the appointment.
5. DR/ADR Delegation
After the Agent accepts the email invitation, the DR or ADR who appointed the Agent will need to log in to e-GGRT and electronically sign the Notice of Delegation (NOD) that formally establishes the delegation.
