    The 2025 Q1 Reporting Period begins on April 1, 2025


    Tuesday, March 25, 2025

    ""
    The first day of the 2025 Q1 reporting period is Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Sources required to report 2025 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 Wednesday, April 30, 2025 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.

    The 2023 Q3 Reporting Period begins on October 1, 2023


    Thursday, September 28, 2023

    ""
    The first day of the 2023 Q3 reporting period is Sunday, October 1, 2023. Sources required to report 2023 Q3 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, October 30, 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.

    Wednesday, July 26, 2023

    ""
    The last day of the 2023 Q2 reporting period is Monday, July 31, 2023. Although a majority of the 2023 Q2 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.
