ECMPS Support

In response to several industry requests, EPA is canceling the 2019 Q2 release of ECMPS.

The 2019 Q3 release will continue as scheduled, and will include the same changes to the reporting of system and component IDs that were originally scheduled for the Q2 release. EPA will post a second draft of the ECMPS Emissions Reporting Instructions in the coming weeks and will hold a DAHS vendor question and answer session on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at 10:30 AM, in Ballroom I of the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel.

Please contact Chris Worley at worley.christopher@epa.gov if you have any additional questions.

The last day of the 2019 Q1 reporting period is Tuesday, April 30, 2019. Although a majority of the 2019 Q1 emission submissions have already been received, there are a number that are yet to be received by the EPA. In order to submit emissions files by the reporting deadline, some people will be hustling to make those final submissions.

If you find yourself nearing the submission deadline with submissions still to be made, you should consult the information in the FAQ on what to do if you are running out of time to submit.

If you have any questions about the information in that FAQ, contact technical support for assistance.

In preparation for the 2019 Q2 changes to the reporting of System and Component IDs during missing data periods, EPA has posted a draft subset of the ECMPS Emissions Reporting instructions for review. The changes, in Redline Strikeout format, can be found in Sections 2.5.1 Monitored Hourly Value Data and 2.5.2 Derived Hourly Value Data. The document can be found here. Once finalized, these edits will be incorporated into the 2019 Q2 version of the ECMPS Emissions Reporting instructions. The changes will also be part of the 2019 Q2 ECMPS software release.

EPA will host a DAHS vendor question and answer session on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at 10:30 AM, in Ballroom I of the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel to discuss these changes. Please send any feedback or questions to ECMPS Technical Support or Chris Worley at worley.christopher@epa.gov prior to May 15, 2019.
