changes coming to UIC and RCRAInfo Data Exchanges
U.S. EPA is currently working on modifications to the data exchange for Underground Injection Controls (UIC). The changes are expected to make major improvements in data submission processing time from states to EPA, with very minor changes to the current data model.
Draft copies of the UIC version 2.0 XML schema, Flow Configuration Document, and other user documentation will be made available for user review and testing on the Exchange Network website in March 2010. Deployment of the new schema, including training for all existing State data submitters, will occur in April 2010. EPA plans to continue supporting existing version 1.0 exchanges for up to six months after the April deployment to facilitate the transition for current data submitters. New state submitters after April 2010 will be expected to use version 2.0 of the UIC XML schema.
If you have any questions about the UIC data exchange or the planned changes, please contact Carl Reeverts (reeverts.carl@epa.gov) or Trang Le (le.trang@epa.gov).

Changes and Testing for the RCRAInfo Exchange
U.S. EPA is currently developing a new release of RCRAInfo (version 5) to accomodate some modifications to the RCRA program. Draft versions of the version 5.0 XML schema, Flow Configuration Document, and other resources for this update are available on the Exchange Network website. Please note that these files are subject to minor changes as development continues.
Version 5 is now open for testing for all RCRAInfo modules including:
- Handler
- Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (CME)
- Permitting
- Corrective Action
- Financial Assurance
- GIS
Please see the RCRAInfo webpage for more details. If you encounter difficulties during the testing process, please contact Dwane Young at young.dwane@epa.gov. The target date for going to production with version 5.0 is mid March 2010.
