ECMPS Support

The XML reporting file format was introduced as part of the project to re-engineer the EPA data systems associated with monitoring plan, QA/cert, and emissions data. To work with the new XML file format, new reporting instructions have been drafted. These instructions provide information on the changes in data reporting and details about how to report in the new XML file format. The new ECMPS reporting instructions will replace the current Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) instructions as ECMPS becomes the required system for data reporting.

Today, the latest versions of the Draft ECMPS Reporting Instructions were released by the EPA. The documents page on the ECMPS Beta Testing Web site has been updated to included the latest version of the reporting instructions for monitoring plan, QA/cert, and emissions. Click here to access the documents page.

If you would like to view a red line strikeout version of the Reporting Instructions which highlight the differences between the current versions and the versions released in February and March of this year, go to the EPA Web site by clicking here. Note, the clean versions (ones without red line strikeout versions) on the EPA Web site are identical to the reporting instructions on the ECMPS Beta Testing Web site.
