Your choices stay in this page while it is open. This tool downloads fixed reference files and creates your set on your device. It does not send entered values to GDF or save them between visits. No email is required. Keep customer data, passwords and sensitive engineering details out of these fields.

State coverage is New York. Ownership and counts are declared facts for review; they do not establish legal applicability.

Information boundary

Review before adoption

First-year audit and certification timing, apparent legal-text errors and utility-specific DPS criteria remain open. The pack lists Q01-Q10 with the evidence needed to resolve them. This tool does not decide exemptions, certify compliance or authorize live OT testing.
