    As was noted previously, the EPA Host System will be unavailable in order to prepare for the release of the next version of the ECMPS Client Tool.

    Beginning around 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday, March 3, 2016, the EPA Host System will become unavailable. The EPA Host System will again be available on Wednesday, March 8, 2016 after the new version of the Client Tool has been released. At that time, users will be able to connect to the EPA Host System.

    While the EPA Host System is unavailable, the following functionality is not available in the Client Tool: synchronize, retrieve, and submit. During that time, users can only work with the Client Tool "offline".
