10. You will be taken to the My Sites page to register your handler(s)

Handler Registration:

1. If your state is participating in approving e-Manifest test users, you may request access to your handler id(s). Otherwise please register to use one of our test sites:VAD000532119, “TEST TSDF OF VA”, Virginia 22202 (Generator and TSDF, test site can be used for testing web services.)

   VA988177803, “HEATING AND OIL”, Virginia 22033 (Generator Only).

   VATEST000001, “TEST TRANSPORTER 1 OF VA”, Virginia 22202 (Generator or Transporter).

   VATEST000002, “TEST TRANSPORTER 2 OF VA”, Virginia 22202 (Generator or Transporter).

   On the My Sites page click on the Add Existing Site button and search for your EPA ID number in the Site ID box or a test site and then select that facility. (For example; VA000532119)

2. Request a role for the site. The Site Manager Role will allow you to use the services.
3. After you submit your request, the request will go to your state or an EPA administrator. It is important to understand this is not an instant access process and the administrator will need to manually process your request during normal business hours. EPA is continuing to work on the concept of a Site Manager which will allow users to manage their own users.
4. Once you have completed this registration you may use either https://test.epacdx.net/ or https://rcrainfopreprod.epa.gov/rcrainfo/ to log on to the application.

Obtaining an API Key:

1. If you want to register for an API ID and Key to test the services, you may create one by clicking on the Tools – > API.

The API page will allow you to generate your unique API ID and Key.

Once you have your API ID and Key, you can enter them in the EMS system setting parameters in order to be able to submit Manifest electronically through EMS.
