The FRS FACID 2.3 flow will switch to the NGN node by April 30. This switch will not impact data flows initiated via a solicit request from the CDX node. Only Partners that submit FACID 2.3 submissions directly to FRS will be impacted by this change. These Partners will need to use a new endpoint for both 1.1 and 2.0 node protocols. The new NGN endpoints are:

Node 2.0:

Node 1.1: https://cdxnodengn.epa.gov/cdx-enws10/services/NetworkNodePortType_V10

The Exchange Network has released the Q4 2011 National System Flow Implementation Matrix. This color-coded document provides detailed information about States’, Tribes’, and Territories’ National System Flow status and plans for flow development. The information is generated from the logs at EPA’s Central Data Exchange. Information regarding plans to flow or restart flows was derived from FY2010 grant applications and from regional outreach efforts. It is the goal of Network Governance to support conversion of all yellow and red boxes on the Matrix to green. Note that red, yellow, and white boxes do not indicate that a Partner is not meeting its reporting obligation; rather, they indicate what data are flowing through the Network.

Updates to the Matrix should be directed to:

EPA would like to notify TRI Data Exchange Partners that they may observe an unexpected data condition in XML files forwarded to their nodes or made available for download via the TDX Viewer.

RY 2011 TRI-MEweb submissions transmitted between January 13-February 17, 2012, and subsequently certified at any time then or in the future, may include a facility mailing name if one was reported in the last form that was transmitted and certified for RY 2010.

This data condition will manifest itself as the inclusion of the following tag in the XML file:
<TRI:MailingFacilitySiteName>[name]</TRI:MailingFacilitySiteName>.

EPA has taken steps to prevent XML files for RY 2011 TRI-MEweb submissions transmitted after February 17, 2012, from containing a facility mailing name.  EPA apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

If you have any questions, please contact the CDX Help Desk at 888.890.1995 or email epa-cdx [at] cgifederal.com.
