ABSTRACT
EPA is requiring facilities using Part 60 & 61 Test Methods to report results electronically using the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) to submit to the Central Data Exchange (CDX). The EIEX solution provides a single point of access for facilities, regulatory agencies and data users to report, transfer, query, and share source test report emissions data created from the ERT. During this presentation, we will provide background on the project, discuss the EIEX solution, and detail next steps.

• Opportunity– Current State:
• Project partners information flow process of stack testing information:– Paper documents– PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents (e-mailing or very specific system to the agency, i.e.
PSIMS).
– Future State:• EPA is requiring Facilities using Part 60 & 61 Test Methods report results electronically
using the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) to submit to the Central Data Exchange (CDX)
– Need:• To provide a single point of access for facilities, regulatory agencies, and data users to
report, transfer, query, and share source test report emissions data created from the ERT.

Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT)
• Electronically create and submit sampling test plans and reports to regulatory agencies
• Provide a means for regulatory agencies to give comments on a test plan after approval
• Calculate results
• Submit the test results to an electronic report to the regulatory agency
