Electronic Signature Agreement
Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.

The Electronic Signature and Use Agreement is as follows:

The electronic submittal of information to the California Air Resources Board (ARB) requires the creation and maintenance of a user account. I have reviewed and agree to the following conditions for the access and use of my account.
  1. I understand and agree that I will be held as legally bound, obligated, or responsible for any electronically signed submission I make as I would be by making such submission in hardcopy form with my handwritten signature;
  2. I agree to maintain an email account. If any email sent to me by ARB is returned as undeliverable, I will explain why this occurred when requested by ARB;
  3. I agree to protect my user name and password from use by anyone except me. I will not divulge or delegate my user name or password to any other individual. I will not store my password in an unprotected location and I will not allow my password to be written into computer scripts to achieve automated login;
  4. I agree to contact the ARB as soon as possible after suspecting or determining that my user name and password have become lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, or of any other security incidents; and
  5. I agree not to attempt to view, change, or delete data unless I have the authorization to do so. I agree to behave in an ethical and trustworthy manner and to be alert to threats to applications and data.
