ECMPS Support

Today, we at ECMPS Technical Support bid a fond farewell to the ECMPS Client Tool Preview (CTP).

The testing period for the ECMPS Client Tool Preview (CTP) ends today, March 13, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Soon after that, both the CTP technical support phone number and email address will be changed to return a message that the CTP testing period has ended.

From feedback which we have received, we know that the CTP was a useful tool for helping stakeholders make the transition from the legacy evaluation and submission tools to the ECMPS Client Tool. In addition, EPA has benefited from stakeholders who worked with the CTP. They provided valuable feedback on application functionality, bugs, and technical support issues.

The CTP was launched in May 2008, and from all accounts, the CTP has significantly helped sources and the EPA prepare for what is now the imminent mandatory use of ECMPS for reporting data.

Of course, like many farewells, there is also a simultaneous welcome. We welcome all of the new sources who are joining the official version of ECMPS for the first time. Many of you have spent time with the CTP and are familiar with the ins and outs of the Client Tool thanks to the CTP.

A warm welcome to all of the new stakeholders. Keep tuned in for the release of the 2009 Q1 version of the ECMPS Client Tool. It is still on target to be released on Tuesday, March 17th.
