FROM: Gerri G. Garwood

, P.E., EPA/ OAR/ OAQPS/SPPD

DATE: April 30, 2015

SUBJECT: Summary of Presentation at the Source Evaluation Society’s Annual Conference

The 39 th Stationary Source Sampling and Analysis for Air Pollutants conference was held

March 29

- April 3, 2015. On March 30 , 2015 at approximately 9:30 a.m., the EPA gave a presentation at the conference on its electronic reporting program, including information on the
recently proposed Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS rulemaking.

A list of attendees is included at Attachment A to this memo. The presentation is included as

Attachment B to this memo.
After the presentation, there was a short question and answer session. The EPA reminded
the audience that only clarifying questions could be answered. The EPA heard comments in
favor of the development of a web

- based electronic reporting tool (ERT) and release of the

ERT’s extensible mar kup language (XML) schema. The EPA also heard comments on the
scoring system used to determine a report’s individual test rating in the EPA’s recommended
emissions factors development procedures. The EPA clarified that if a report is resubmitted with

cor rections, only the corrected version would be available on the public website (WebFIRE), but
that all copies of submitted reports would remain visible to air agencies in the Central Data
Exchange (CDX).
At the end of the session, the EPA encouraged the au dience to provide comments on the
proposed rule.
