PII and Fuel Sub Infrastructure Data

The reporting of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data and Fuel Sub Infrastructure data is completed outside of Cedars at the same time as Cedars claim submissions. In aggregate, PA submissions are expected to align exactly with that year's cumulative Cedars claim data.

The submission includes:

  • Two PII data tables.
  • One Fuel Sub Infrastructure Cost table containing non-PII information.

All files are packaged together in a single .zip file for submission. The two PII tables must be provided as pipe-delimited (|) CSV files with unquoted text values. Fields must be listed in the exact order shown in the specification.

PII_Contact

The data in the tables must adhere to the rules specified here, including the primary key rules. The Contact table's primary key is ContactID. Table validation checks that the primary key is unique. Primary key values are case-insensitive, which means that Customer123 is the same ID as CUSTOMER123.
