2 Unique Reporting Challenges Compilation of various reporting requirements Electronic submittal of most data/records Adapting existing tools to new types of data Reporting Elements Emissions Data Initial/Ongoing QA Test Results Compliance Reports Other (Notifications/Monitoring Plan) Still Significant Uncertainty in Reporting Requirements

3 Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System Client Tool (ECMPS) Acid Rain Program/Clean Air Interstate Rule Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) MATS Information Collection Request (ICR) Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI) Legacy system accessed through EPA Central Data Exchange (CDX) website (cdx.epa.gov) None of these Tools Fully Support MATS at this Time

Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI) Legacy system accessed through EPA

4 Compliance Based on 30-Boiler Operating Day (BOD) Rolling Averages BOD = any fuel combusted in any 24-hour period Calculated at the end of each BOD Based on all available quality assured hourly data No Missing Data Substitution No Bias Adjustment Factors Exclude Startup/Shutdown Periods Quarterly Data Reporting
