Data Exchange Description

The Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) data exchange allows agencies to submit data in XML format to U.S. EPA’s ICIS database. Agencies can submit data for either the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (ICIS-NPDES) or air stationary source compliance and enforcement (ICIS-Air). 

News About Version 5.10

U.S. EPA has updated ICIS Data Submission schema to include new optional data elements for ICIS-Air related to the review of reports from the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). Please note that the new elements are optional; therefore, no action is required unless your agency would like to make use of the new elements. The new version has been deployed in EPA’s Central Data Exchange as of March 10, 2023 so agencies that are interested in taking advantage of the new elements and functionality may do so now.

OpenNode2 Plugins for ICIS-NPDES and ICIS-Air Submissions

Partner agencies using OpenNode2 (.NET or Java) may make use of data flow plugins that can help simplify the processes of submitting ICIS-NPDES and ICIS-Air data and downloading ICIS transaction reports. Visit the Exchange Network Products page to download the relevant OpenNode2 plugins and documentation.
