What is the Designating Officials Form?

The Designating Officials Form or DRO is an optional way for owners/operators to provide facility and contact information. It is a spreadsheet available through owner/operator EPA Central Data Exchange or CDX accounts and is designed to accommodate bulk uploading of information on facilities. Once you have submitted a DRO, you can update it easily by logging back into CDX and uploading the new version through your Methane Super Emitter Program dashboard. The Methane Super Emitter Program Owner/Operator Webpage has instructions on how to set up an account. If owners/operators choose not to submit ownership and contact information, EPA will use other available information to provide notifications.
