Form Number: 5800-009

OMB Control Number: 2010-0042

Expiration Date: 3/31/21

Survey Introduction:

EPA is initiating an effort to re-engineer ECMPS to make it more flexible and efficient, and to provide more benefit to emission reporters. This survey is available to all ECMPS users so EPA can better understand how you submit data into ECMPS and export data from ECMPS. We estimate this survey to take 3-5 minutes.

1. What is your ECMPS user type:

 I am a Designated Representative/Alternate Designated Representative

 I am an agent (check all that apply)

 Monitoring plan agent

 Quality assurance test agent

 Emissions data

 Retrieve only access

 I don’t have ECMPS access

2. Do you prepare, review, or submit part 75 or MATS data? (check all that apply)

 Yes, I prepare, review, or submit the following:

 Monitoring plan(s)

 Quality assurance test(s)

 Emissions data

 Part 75 notifications

 Other _________________________
 No, I don’t prepare, review, or submit part 75 data.

3. How many facilities to do you submit data for?

1-2

3-5

5-10

10+ facilities

4. How does your organization or facility enter the following data into ECMPS:

Monitoring plan(s)	Quality assurance test data	Emissions data
 Manually enter  Import from DAHS  Other ______________  Don’t know	 Manually enter  Import from DAHS  Other ______________  Don’t know	 Manually enter  Import from DAHS  Other ______________  Don’t know

5. After entering data into ECMPS and if you receive validation errors, how does your organization or facility revise data?

Monitoring plan(s)	Quality assurance test data	Emissions data
 Manually enter  Import from DAHS Other ______________  Don’t know	 Manually enter  Import from DAHS  Other ______________  Don’t know	 Manually enter  Import from DAHS  Other ______________  Don’t know

6. Are there any functions or features besides data evaluation and submission that you rely solely on ECMPS for? i.e. the functions are not available in your DAHS.

 Yes (please provide details)

 No

7. What role does ECMPS serve for your part 75 data reporting and recordkeeping obligations? (check all that apply)

8. Do you use ECMPS to review data outside of the evaluation and submission process?

 Yes (please explain how you use ECMPS to review the data)

 No

 Don’t know

9. Do you report for a unit that uses the low-mass emitter (LME) methodology?

 Yes

1. Do you prepare the LME emission file in the DAHS or ECMPS?

14. As EPA is initiating an effort to re-engineer ECMPS and would like to speak to experienced ECMPS users to get feedback about what they want to see in the new ECMPS software. Would you be willing to participate in an interview about your experience with ECMPS and ideas for improvements?
