Electronic Core Data Form (e-CDF): How to Make STEERS Changes Online

You now have the option to submit select changes to your core data through STEERS using the e-CDF, providing a more convenient and efficient way to manage information.

What is e-CDF?

The Electronic Core Data Form (e-CDF) is an online tool that streamlines the process of submitting certain changes related to permits, forms, and other regulatory needs in STEERS. As e-CDF expands, it will provide even more options for managing submissions.

What changes can I make?

If you currently have a Customer Number and Regulated Entity Number, you may submit the following changes through STEERS using e-CDF:

Customer Changes:

  • ADD OR UPDATE LOCAL TAX ID
  • ADD OR UDPATE TX STATE TAX IDS
  • ADD TX SOS FILING NUMBER
  • UPDATE CUSTOMER MAILING ADDRESS
  • UPDATE LEGAL NAME
  • UPDATE OTHER CUSTOMER INFORMATION (NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR INDEPENDENDTLY OWNED/OPERATED)

NOTE: Customer Numbers are defined by the Texas Secretary of State filing number, which means that if a new Texas Secretary of State filing number is issued (including changing the federal tax ID, state franchise tax ID, etc.), then a new Customer Number will need to be created, and a Change of Ownership may be required. The e-CDF cannot be used for this.

Regulated Entity Changes:

  • UPDATE PRIMARY BUSINESS (REGULATED ENTITY)
  • UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY ADDRESS
  • UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY MAILING ADDRESS
  • UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY NAME
  • UPDATE SIC/NAICS CODE (REGULATED ENTITY)

What changes can I NOT Make?

If you need to update or create any permit or registration—or create a new Regulated Entity or Customer Number—you must reach out to a TCEQ program for further assistance.

Use the Agency Directory to find the correct program to contact.
