ECMPS Support

Several sources have asked the question of whether there is an automatic extension of the reporting period deadline because the thirtieth day of the reporting period happens to fall on a weekend.

The answer is yes. Because the reporting deadline, Saturday, April 30, 2011, falls on a weekend, the deadline is extended to the next business day which is Monday, May 2, 2011.

This information is based on 40 CFR 72.11 (c) - "Computation of Time" and 40 CFR 97.107/207/307

Although a large percentage of the 2011 Q1 emission submissions have been received, there are a number that are outstanding. That means that a number of people will be hustling to complete their submissions before the end of the reporting period.

At technical support, we will answer as many questions as we can. However, if you are submitting a technical support request in the last days of the submission period, please understand that you might be arriving late to the queue, and your question may not be answered as fast as you would like. In general, technical support request tickets are answered in a first-come-first-served basis.

If you find yourself in the last minute mode trying to complete your submissions, please consult the information in the FAQ on what do if you are running out of time to submit.
