Temporary Event Reporting Data File Transmission
- Do I need a personal identification number (PIN) or password to transfer my file?
- Is data transmitted over the Internet encrypted or otherwise protected?
- Is any confirmation receipt sent after I upload a Temporary Event file?
- Do I need to submit copies of the paper S-240s if I submit the vendor information electronically?
- Is there a specific format or program I need to use?
- Do I need a personal identification number (PIN) or password to transfer my file?
No. A PIN, password, or pre-registration is not required.
- Is data transmitted over the Internet encrypted or otherwise protected?
The file is posted via HTTPS to a web server and the data is protected with SSL 128-bit encryption. This is the same standard used for Internet financial transactions.
- Is any confirmation receipt sent after I upload a Temporary Event file?
You will receive a notice back that the file transferred successfully ("OK Transfer Complete") along with a confirmation number and time stamp showing when the file was received. There is not an e-mail confirmation. Print a copy of this screen for your records.
- Do I need to submit copies of the paper S-240s if I submit the vendor information electronically?
No. Information transmitted electronically should not be duplicated by paper submission.
- Is there a specific format or program I need to use?
No. Although a Microsoft spreadsheet or database report is preferred, it is not required. A template spreadsheet is available if you do not have information already entered in another format. See Temporary Event Program FAQs to ensure all required information is provided. Be sure all required information is provided within the file because file names are changed during the transmission process.
