For the propose of mobile source inspection and management with an e-enablement approach, “Mobile Sources of Air Pollution Information Management System” was established to integrate audit methods and key audit items for projects outsourced by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA). And implementing collation, statistical compilation and statistical analysis were proffered from the databases of management systems established under the various projects relating to mobile sources of air pollution. The “Vehicle Registration Inquiry System” acquires monthly and daily transaction files regularly to remain the accuracy of motor and diesel vehicles registration database systems from “Directorate General of Highways”. More importantly, the new data field, “Last Print License Date”, is incorporated into the diesel vehicles registration database system due to demand of “Department of Waste Management”.
In FY2020, “Environmental Law Enforcement Household Registration Inquiry Platform (EHIP)” was incorporated into “Mobile Sources of Air Pollution Information Management System”. The plan was in charge of assisting EPA in drawing up the draft of management regulation, establishing platform, setting up private line and building EHIP on “Consolidated Data Center of Department of Environmental Monitoring and Information Management”. However, EHIP does not officially launch yet due to the EPA draft legislative procedures and abandoned private line for household information transmission and switching.
In addition to EHIP, batch uploading system for switching disciplinary and punishment information to “Environmental Enforcement Management System (EEMS)”belonging to “Bureau of Environmental Inspection” was constructed to execute efficiently instead of keying in indictment and disciplinary citation on EEMS term by term. If registered motor vehicle owners do not undergo regular air pollutant emission testing or retesting after the deadline reveals a failure to meet the standards, the owners will be imposed a fine and even revoked license plates according to “Air Pollution Control Act Article 80”. That about 2.5 million motor vehicles do not perform periodic air pollutant testing will breed a large amount of disposition. Consequently, the plan support EPA for accomplishing operation system construction and facilitating procedures, including automatically screening disciplinary list, acquiring vehicle registration programmatically, classifying punishment of people to natural and juridical Persons, obtaining permanent address from EHIP in the absence of correspondence address and uploading indictment and punishment to EEMS by batch.
In order to ensure adequate lateral and vertical communication, an operational coordination meeting was held on January 17, 2020 and a review meeting was held on June 2, 2020, providing an opportunity for operational staff at different local government environmental protection agencies to engage in an exchange of views regarding this work category. In response to the “Air Pollution Control Act”, the plan provides a customized function questionnaire to facilitate system upgrades and adjustments.
As stated above, the plan compiles multiple mobile pollution source databases, e.g., air pollutant emission testing results of motor vehicles, exhaust inspection results of diesel vehicles and vehicle registration information. Also, EHIP and batch uploading system for switching disciplinary and punishment information to EEMS severe mobile pollution source management. The significant platforms which merge with the mobile pollution source management systems and databases supply convenient, friendly and easily operational interface to EPA and local government environmental protection agencies.
