    Dear ECMPS System User,

    You are invited to join us for the second "Ask CAMD" webinar.

On September 18, 2018 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM (Eastern Time), staff from the Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD), Emissions Monitoring Branch (EMB) will be available to answer questions about the part 75 emission monitoring and reporting program, including the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) software. This session will cover Part 75-related topics, but will not cover material related to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).

    If you'd like to join us, please RSVP by clicking this link, or by contacting Andrew Reighart at reighart.andrew@epa.gov by September 11, 2018. Although not required, it would be helpful to also include any topics, demonstrations, or questions you would like covered in the webinar. You can submit these questions via the RSVP form or by e-mail. This will enable us to better serve you by ensuring that we have the appropriate staff for the webinar, and the appropriate content prepared.
