Technical Information for Reporting Data

This page contains the following technical documents for reporting data using ECMPS: 

  • JSON schemas for: 
    • Monitoring plans
    • Quality assurance certification tests
    • Emissions
  • ECMPS Non-op File Generator Tool
  • ECMPS Known Issues Summary
  • Check specifications
  • QA status flow diagrams

Monitoring Plan JSON Schema

  • monitor-plan.schema.json
    This file can be viewed in your internet browser or in a text editing program such as Notepad.

Emissions JSON Schema

  • emissions.schema.json
    This file can be viewed in your internet browser or in a text editing program such as Notepad.

Quality Assurance Certification Test JSON Schema

  • qa-certification.schema.json
    This file can be viewed in your Internet browser or in a text editing program such as Notepad.

ECMPS Non-op File Generator Tool

  • Visit the ECMPS Non-op File Generator Tool page to access the tool. This generator should be used by sources that must report a non-operating quarter via ECMPS.

ECMPS Known Issues Summary

  • View a summary document that lists all the currently known issues with the ECMPS web-based tool:  ECMPS Known Issues Summary - 4/2026 (xlsx) (17.44 KB, April 2, 2026)
    • Note: We'd like to specifically highlight a known issue that may impact a wide array of users. When running reports within the different modules, the pop-up window that contains the report appears blank. As a temporary workaround, users will need to copy the URL of the blank page, add "/ecmps" before "/workspace/" in the URL, and paste that in a new tab within the same browser window. Copies of evaluation and submission reports will still be sent to your email after submission for viewing.
