Ohio EPA’s eBusiness Center:
Instructions For Setting Up Your Account

You will need to complete the following activities to set up your facility's account, obtain a PIN, activate your PIN, and request facility access under Air Services.  Eventually all of Ohio EPA will use this venue (e-DMR for storm water reporting is already in action).  You will then be able to delegate access to other employees, consultants, etc.

The person completing step #2 should be the responsible official for the facility.  It is optional to have additional officials obtain their own certifying PIN but recommended as a backup.

Guidance documents are available online at http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dapc/airservices

1.                  Create an account in Ohio EPA's eBusiness Center:

a.         Go to https://ebiz.epa.ohio.gov and click "create new account".

b.                  Create a user ID, enter name, create password, fill in contact information, complete security questiond, then click "submit".

c.         Click "click here to login to the eBusiness Center".

2.        The responsible official and the person in charge of managing the permits/applications should complete this step:

a.                  Go to https://ebiz.epa.ohio.gov and login using the account information created in step 1.

b.         Under "my tasks" at the bottom of the page, click "request new PIN".

c.                  Confirm contact information and create 5 security questions/answers then click "request PIN".

d.         Read the PIN request complete page and download the "subscriber agreement form" (a link to the form will be emailed to you as well).

e.         Print out the "subscriber agreement form", take it to a Notary, and mail the signed form to Ohio EPA at the address provided.

f.          Ohio EPA will mail back a form with your PIN (1-4 weeks).  To avoid delays, please be sure that the responsible official completes item #2 and that the name on the “subscriber agreement form” is the same as the person signing the form.

3.         Activate your PIN:

a.         After you receive your PIN, login to eBusiness Center and activate the PIN.

4.         Delegate to others on the environmental compliance team including consultants (e.g., Endlish Environmental, account = Endlish).  The Responsible Official needs to complete this step.  Each delegate will need to have a properly set up account in the system (follow step #1 above).
