Tips

  • The initial Administrator will be approved by AQB staff. Each organization must have an Administrator.
  • All information you enter in the Portal is “live or Production” data for real facilities - no need to mail a paper application or CD!
  • Online payments are not available yet, and you must follow the Payment Instructions for your submittal to be received by the AQB and assigned for review.
  • Read the News section at the top of the home page in the Portal each time you log in so you are aware of known issues and the latest news.
  • See the “Required Attachments” page in the Portal for information on uploading supporting information and calculations.
  • Please use Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer is not supported. Very limited testing has been done using Safari.

Roles

  • Administrators control access by approving requests for people to be Preparers, Certifiers, or other Administrators for their organization in the User Access tab in the Portal.
  • Preparers fill out the online application and upload forms but cannot certify (“sign”) & send submittals to AQB.
  • Certifiers can certify (“sign”) & send submittals to AQB, in addition to filling out the online application.
  • The certification process is the same one used for AQB-Compliance Reporting (AQBCR) and the Air Emissions Inventory Reporting (AEIR) programs. The roles in the other programs will not transfer to the Portal.
  • Each individual user must have their own account. Multiple people using the same account is prohibited by the electronic subscriber agreement and it will cause problems in the Portal.
