In order for an Agent (someone authorized to act on behalf of a Primary or Alternate Representative) to access CBS, the Representative must first log on to the CAMD Business System and designate an Agent, or complete the Agent Assignment Form PDF (5 pp., 31 K, About PDF) | Word (5 pp., 75 K). For more information, see Assign Agents. The Agent will then be sent an e-mail instructing them to contact the Clean Air Markets Division to obtain a User ID and Password. Once these steps have been taken, the Agent will then be able to access CBS.
CBS may also be used by a Representative(s) to remove Agents, or complete and fax the Agent Assignment Form. If you have other questions, please see the list of Clean Air Markets contacts.
