What is the “COMMENT” field on the File Submission page?

This field represents a freeform two-character alphanumeric comment field, allowing a region and state to instert a value to provide additional meaning to the data set contents. Any blanks will be filled in, by CDX, with the letter ‘b’, in the data set name. If left blank by the user, the data set name will contain the value ‘bb’ in these positions. This will allow users the flexibility to add an additional piece of information to further characterize the data set name. Regional and state staff should reach agreement on the contents of this field. For example, it could be used to differentiate between different primacy agencies in a state, so values such as CO or NC could be used to differentiate between community and non-community water system primacy agency data. • What is the meaning of the name that CDX gives my files? CDX builds the file name, based on the meta-data that you entered into the File Submission screen: FEDR.Sstxxx.Yyyq.tttt.dcsom.Dyymmdd.
