Update Program Information

STEERS consists of different areas, referred to as program areas. There are two classes of program areas: those that require you sign up to report for a specific ID (registration, permit, facility, regulated entity, etc.), and those that have no IDs. For example, if you want to access IHW reporting, you must provide the solid waste registration number (SWR#). However, if you want to submit an application using ePermits, you just sign up for the program area.

When you update the access type (role) to a higher level or change the authorization, the selected ID(s) or programs are placed in probationary status. This means that you will have limited or no access to the ID(s)/program until STEERS has received a signed SPA.

Modify Single ID

1. Access the Online SPA as described in Accessing Online SPA from STEERS.
2. In the program area section of the Account Information page, either click on the program area name link or select the program or the ID you would like to modify and press Go.

4. To change the access type (role), select the new access type from the drop down box.
5. To change or update the employer's relationship to the ID, select the relationship that best describes the relationship to the ID.
6. Select the appropriate authorization.
   • If you are applying for a read, edit, or preparer role, select the first statement. Only your authorization is needed.
   • If you are applying for a sign and submit or CBT access role, either you must directly have the authority to report for the site according to the program signature standards or someone with that authority must be authorizing the access. If someone else is authorizing the access, you must provide that person's name, title, and company. Note: Some program areas require that you have direct authority to have the sign and submit role.
