The Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) is part of a larger effort by the Clean Air Markets Division of the EPA to reengineer the processes and data systems that are used to collect data for cap and trade emissions reduction programs.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2009, all industry sources MUST use ECMPS to submit monitoring plan, QA/cert test, and emissions data to the EPA for Clean Air Market programs.

ECMPS interacts with several of EPA's current data systems. Use the links below to learn more about these systems:
