    The 2023 Q1 Reporting Period begins on April 1, 2023


    Tuesday, March 28, 2023

    ""
    The first day of the 2023 Q1 reporting period is Saturday, April 1, 2023. Sources required to report 2023 Q1 emissions data under the Acid Rain Program (ARP), the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), the NOx SIP Call (SIPNOX), the Texas SO2 Trading Program (TXSO2), the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) rule have until the end of the day on Monday, May 1, 2023 to submit their emissions data to the EPA using the ECMPS Client Tool.

    During this reporting period, the EPA expects to receive approximately 4,000 emissions data submissions. Sources are encouraged to begin working on their submissions as early as possible in order to give them sufficient time to complete all submissions by the deadline.

    Start Early

    With the large volume of submissions expected, we encourage sources to start working with their data as soon as possible because, if you have questions you will get a faster response to your technical support request the earlier in the month you submit your request. If you wait until later in the month to begin working with your data and you run into problems that require technical support, your request will be added to a much longer queue of technical support requests.

    Technical Support Information

    Information on getting technical support through the resources on the Website or by submitting a technical support request has all been consolidated in the Website's Help section. Technical support would like to highlight that, as necessary, FAQs and Known Issues will continue to be updated throughout the submission period. Hours for technical support are listed on the Contact Us page.

    Resubmission Requests

    Requests to resubmit QA or emissions data should be made using the Resubmission Request Form.

    To keep up-to-date with ECMPS News items, we would suggest subscribing to the ECMPS News.

    Webinar to Review 2024 MATS ECMPS Reporting Changes (March 15)


    Sunday, March 5, 2023

    EPA has posted an updated set of Quality Assurance reporting instructions for the proposed MATS 2024 reporting changes.  The previous version was missing a number of data elements in the quarterly compliance report needed to report deviations under 40 CFR Appendix E to Subpart UUUUU of Part 63 13.0.  

    EPA will host a review and listening session on March 15 at 1 PM ET to review the proposed MATS 2024 reporting changes.  MATS affected users should plan on attending.  To prepare for the meeting and ensure the most effective use of everyone's time, attendees should review the rule and the draft reporting instructions documentation prior to the call. The reporting instructions and proposed changes will be finalized and posted on March 31, 2023.

    ECMPS Support News Transitioning to New Constant Contact Service


    Friday, March 3, 2023

    When decommissioning the previous listserv, EPA will automatically load all current email contact information from the ECMPS Support listserv into the ECMPS 2.0 listserv, and all email correspondence will be generated and sent via Constant Contact from that point forward.
