ECMPS Support

The CTP Registration period ended on January 2, 2009. However, that does not mean the CTP has ended. Instead, the CTP is still around to assist ECMPS stakeholders in making the transition from the legacy systems (MDC and ETS-FTP) to ECMPS. Anyone who registered for the CTP before the deadline can continue to use the CTP both online and offline. In other words, the Test EPA Host System will continue to be available for CTP users.

Similarly, if you have registered to use the CTP, but you have yet to download and install the CTP, you can still do so by accessing the download pages on the ECMPS Support Web site. The current version of the CTP is version 4 which is identical in its functionality to the current production version of the Client Tool. The only difference between the production version and the CTP is that the CTP only works with test data and the Test EPA Host System.

The plans are for the CTP and CTP support to continue to be available until March 1, 2009. Shortly after that, the next version of the Client Tool for production will be released and all sources who have yet to switch to ECMPS for official data submissions will be able to make the transition at that point.
