                      USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                                Part 1 - Introduction
      Welcome to the BACT/LAER Information System (BLIS)!  BLIS is a product of the
RACT/BACT/LAER  Clearinghouse (RBLQ.    EPA  established  the  RACT/BACT/LAER
Clearinghouse to assist State and  local air pollution  control personnel in making control
technology determinations and in sharing technology information. This user's manual describes
the purpose and function of BLIS.

      The  basic purposes of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse are:

      •      To  provide  State   md  local  agencies  with  current  control  technology
             determinations.

      •      To summarize recent determinations for sources of similar size and nature.

      •      To provide data on  the specific  emission limits imposed  on existing, new, or
             modified sources across the country.

By presenting a representative sample of control determinations, the Clearinghouse should serve
as a reference or a starting point for State and local agencies when making RACT, BACT, or
LAER determinations.

      Initially, the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse was a manual system, and EPA Regional
Offices and  State and local agencies submitted summaries of their determinations to the Control
Programs Development Division (CPDD).  The CPDD  then categorized the determination by
source type  or category and compiled and duplicated the determinations for periodic transmittal
to the State  and local agencies.

      Discussions  with  State  and  local  agency personnel,  EPA  Regional  staff, and
representatives of the Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials (ALAPCO) and the
State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators (STAPPA) resulted in the design of
an automated system to provide up-to-date information regarding RACT, BACT, and LAER
determinations.  In  accordance with this automated system design, the RACT/BACT/LAER
Clearinghouse Information System (BLIS) was created. BLIS is a data base system that performs
the following three functions:

      •      Allows rapid updating of RACT/BACT/LAER determinations.

      •      Allows rapid production of RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse reports.


                                       1-1

-------
       •     Allows EPA Regional Offices and State and local agency representatives to have
             more direct computer access to the data in the RACT/B ACT/LAER Clearinghouse.

Regulatory Basis

       The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
the responsibility and authority to control air pollution in the United States and its territories.
One of the responsibilities given to EPA under Section 108 of the CAA is to publish information
on air pollution control techniques. This information includes data on available technology and
methods for prevention and control of air pollution.

       One of the goals of the CAA is regulation by States of their own sources of air pollution.
Section 110 of the CAA requires each State  to adopt and submit to EPA a State Implementation
Plan (SIP) for attaining and maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
in all regions of the State. Each State, therefore, must decide which existing emission sources
should be controlled and to what extent. Quite often this control for existing sources represents
Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT).

       Section 111 of the CAA gives  EPA the authority to establish performance standards for
various emissions sources at a national level.  These New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
apply to both new and modified sources; they must  reflect the degree  of emission reduction
achievable through  the application of the  best system  of continuous emission reduction  as
determined by the EPA Administrator. NSPS takes into consideration the cost of achieving such
emission reduction, any non-air quality,  health, and  environmental  impacts,  and energy
requirements.

       The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 added to EPA's authority and responsibilities.
The Amendments required that certain control technologies be imposed by the States.  Section
165 allows no construction of major stationary sources in an area subject to  the Prevention of
Significant Air Quality Deterioration (PSD) requirements unless the source uses Best Available
Control Technology (BACT). For these sources, BACT applies for each pollutant subject to
regulation under the CAA. BACT applies to emissions resulting from any major source that the
permitting authority determines (on a case-by-case  basis) can achieve the limitation. The BACT
limit takes energy,  environmental, and economic impacts, as well as other costs, into account.
NSPS is the baseline for BACT; in no event shall the application of BACT result in  emissions
of any pollutants in excess of the emissions allowed by  any applicable NSPS.

       Section 172 states that each SIP for an area that does not currently attain NAAQS must
require, among other things, permits  for the construction and operation of new or modified
stationary sources.  Before a permit to construct may  be issued, the proposed new source must
comply with the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER).  LAER refers to the emission rate
that reflects the most stringent emission limitation contained in any SIP for a  source category
(unless the source demonstrates that such limitations  are not achievable) or the most stringent
emission limitation achieved by  a source in the source category, whichever is more stringent.


                                          1-2

-------
LAER does not take economic factors into account  LAER should never be less stringent than
the emission limit stipulated in an applicable NSPS for the source category.

       Although the specific criteria governing RACT, BACT, LAER, or NSPS vary, the general
underlying approach is to require "best control" on all major existing, new, or modified sources.
The complexity and number of new source review (NSR) decisions has increased over the past
several years, and more State  and local programs are accepting the complete responsibility  for
issuing PSD and nonattainment permits.  Thus, it is extremely important that information be
available to assist control agencies in making the  necessary control technology determinations
in a nationally consistent manner. The dean Air Act Amendments of 1990 made submittal of
LAER to the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse Information System mandatory.

The BLIS Bulletin Board System

       From 1986 to 1992, BLIS was housed on the National Computer  Center's IBM 3090
computer and used the System 2000 Software,  [n 1991 in response to  a planned phase-out of
System 2000, EPA began the  task of cnoosing a. new system co house BLIS.  After reviewing
various options, (including mainframe, PC-based bulletin board, and hybrid options) EPA chose
to move BUS  to a PC-based bulletin board system (BBS).  Since October 1992, BLIS has been
part of the Technology Transfer Network.  The BLIS BBS  uses "tbbs" for  its bulletin board
software and "tdbs" for its data base software. The system is written primarily in "tdbs" or a
dBase-based language.

BLIS  Features

       Coinciding with the move of BLIS to a BBS is an upgrade of BLIS.  The BLIS BBS
includes two different search processes,  hi the first process, a menu-driven search, users respond
to a series of questions in order to design a search and view the results on screen. The second
process, a more advanced search, is designed for the more sophisticated BLIS user. Users of  the
advanced search  can design a  search, recall and reselect subsets, and edit the search criteria on
one screen.

       Users of BLIS can view the results of a search on screen and download the results to their
PCs.  While viewing determinations on screen, users can remove any unwanted determinations
from their download set  As users view information on screen, they will notice that the BLIS
BBS contains  many fields which provide valuable information to permit writers.  The view
process also allows users to select the specific facilities, processes, and pollutants which they
would like to see; users no longer have to scroll through the entire set of selected determinations.

       The third noticeable BLIS  feature is the User Edit and Update.  Before development of
the BLIS BBS, only EPA Headquarters staff could  add RACT, BACT, or LAER determinations
to BLIS. With the BLIS BBS,  designated users now have the opportunity to input their agency's
determinations directly.  Each  agency's designated users with update responsibility must obtain
update authority and use a BLIS password in order to take advantage of this feature.


                                         1-3

-------
       These features, as well as other features planned for future development, are all explained
in this manual.  The manual is organized in a three-ring binder to  allow for easy addition of
information as new features are developed.

Gaining Access to BLIS

       To  access  the  BLIS  BBS  you will need  a PC,  a  modem and phone line, and
communications software. .Additionally, you will need to register  for the  TIN.   In order to
register for the TTN, follow these steps:

              Call (919) 541-5742 at 1200, 2400, or 9600 baud.

       •       Set communication parameters to 8 data bits, a parity of N, and 1 stop bit.

       •       Go through the automated registration process and you will be a registered user.

See Appendix E for more information on the TTN.

       If you are the agency's designated user with update responsibility, you will  also need a
BLIS password  To receive a BLIS password, call EPA at (919) 541-2736; the EPA staff person
will assign you a BLIS password as well as  your security clearance for inputting determinations.

                       USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                             Part 2 -- Information in BLIS

       The primary product of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse is a report of information
that has been obtained from RACT, BACT, and LAER determinations made by various pollution
control agencies. The report contains information on process types, the facility that applied for
the construction permit, the basis for the limit (RACT, BACT, or LAER), pertinent source
operating parameters such as capacity, pollutant emission rates, control technology, control
agency contacts, and scheduling data.

Organization of BLIS Data

       BLIS maintains information on a variety of data elements.  This information is separated
into three main categories: facility data, process data, and pollutant data.  The data are organized
so that each facility determination may have multiple processes and each process may emit
multiple pollutants.  Each facility has at least one process and at least one pollutant.  The
information that EPA  maintains in  BLIS on each  of  the three  levels  (facility, process, and
pollutant) is listed below.  Together these files make up  the primary BLIS data- base.  See Table
2.1 (beginning p. 2-6) for the format for each field mentioned below.

1.    Facility Information

       •      FACILITY NUMBER:  A unique number given to each BLIS determination
             by BLIS.  This numeric field is used  only by the BLIS staff for tracking
             purposes and does not appear on-screen.

       •      BUS  ID:  The unique identification number assigned  to  each BLIS
             determination by EPA staff. The number consists of the state abbreviation
             and a four digit number, i.e. AK-0001 is the first determination entered
             from Alaska. A suffix may exist -for old  determinations for clarification.

      •      COMPANY ADDRESS INFORMATION:  The actual location of  the facility
             including company (facility) name, street address, city, county, State, zip
             code, and EPA Region.

      •      STATUS OF THE FACILITY: A one-letter field describing whether the permit
             is for a new or modified source.

      •      PERMIT NUMBER: A number which the permit issuing agency assigns the
             permit  If the permit is issued  by the EPA Regional office, this number
             would be entered in the Region file number.


                                        2-1

-------
AGENCY INFORMATION:  Four fields which provide information on  the
issuing agency.  The first field is the agency name (automatically assigned

2.     Process Information

       •     PROCESS NUMBER: A unique number given to each BLIS determination
             process by BLIS. This numeric field is used only by the BLIS staff for
             tracking purposes and does not appear on-screen.

       •     PROCESS TYPE CODE: A code assigned to each process (see Appendix B)
             used to categorize determinations.

       •     PROCESS DESCRIPTION:  The name of the process which describes the
             process listed (examples in Appendix B).

       •     THROUGHPUT  CAPACITY  AND  UNITS:   For each  process  listed  in  a
             determination, BUS contains information of the throughput capacity of the
             process unit, i.e. boiler size is often specified using a throughput capacity
             measured in MMBTU per hour.

       •     STANDARD BOILER SIZE:  This field is used to compare boiler sizes in
             BLIS.  All boiler sizes are converted to MMBTU per hour and entered into
             this field. A size of 999,999 MMBTU per hour is used if the boiler size
             could not be converted or is unknown.

       •     SCC CODE:  This code is the  standard source classification for processes used
             throughout the Office of Air and Radiation {OAR) at EPA.

       •     COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION:  This series of fields allows users to enter a
             yes or no response to the following questions:

              *      Year of the dollar used in cost calculations

The BLIS Data Bases

       The BLIS BBS stores determinations in three separate data bases.  The permanent data
base contains the last five years' completed BLIS determinations.  These determinations have
been reviewed by BLIS staff to ensure that the data are complete and correct The second data
base is the transient data base.  The transient data base provides a work space for users to enter
and update determinations. Transient data base determinations could include determinations for
permits which are not yet issued (still in the review stages), determinations which have necessary
information for BLIS still missing, or determinations which have not been verified for corrections
and completion by the BLIS staff.  The third data base is the historical data base.  The historical
data base contains completed  BLIS determinations which are more than five years old.  Data
organization for all three data bases is the same.
                             \
       Additional data scheduled to  be maintained in  BLIS are data on Federal and  State
regulations.  BLIS  will have a separate data base for this information; this data base will be
implemented on-line at a later date.

                          USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                            PartS - Conducting a Search in BLIS
           When you enter BLIS you may choose to Query or Edit  This section of the BLIS User's
     Manual describes the Query option.  Upon selection oi*Query from the Main menu, you must
     choose which of the BLIS data bases you wish to query.  The choices are:  the BLIS main data
     base  (permanent),  the BLIS transient  data base, the  BLIS  historical data  base, and the
     Federal/State Regulations data base. Please note that all of the data bases may not be available
     at this time. Throughout BLIS any menu option that is not available will be low-lighted on the
     screen (you will notice this lowlighting in the manual also).  You must remember to press the
     Enter key after each menu response. Figures 3.1 and 3.2 represent the BLIS Main menu and the
     data base selection  menu, described above.

           It is also important to note that BLIS has an enhanced HELP system which will provide
     assistance at any point during a.search. Simply by pressing Fl, you will access the HELP system
     which explains the  screen at which you are currently looking. HELP is also context-sensitive;
     users will not have to scroll through long lists of inappropriate values in order to find the one
     appropriate to them.

ire 3.3 - BLIS Query Menu

           When a search is performed, BLIS creates a subset of the data base.  This subset is then
     available to view, to download, or to further reduce by creating a subsequent subset.  A
     maximum of three subsets may be created during any search.  Each subset is specified by a
     search criteria list The search criteria list is composed of one to three separate search criteria.
     The three criteria are joined by a connector - 'and' or 'or'.  One criteria list may only  utilize
     one connector.

     For example: You may specify a subset by:

           Search field         Operator           Value       Connector

           STATE            =                CA         AND
           PROCESS          CONTAINS        BOILER    AND
           PROCESS CODE    <           •     20.000

     but you may not specify a subset by:

           STATE   •         =                CA         AND
           PROCESS          CONTAINS        BOILER    OR
           PROCESS CODE    <                20.000
                                         3-3

-------
        In order to perform the previous search, you would first create a subset using

               STATE            =                  CA,

        then you would reduce the subset (creating a second subset) using

                                                                   OR

               The Standard Query is a menu-driven system which allows you to subset the BLIS data
         base three times to create a final customized subset. You are first presented with a menu of data
         elements (fields) on which you may subset the data base.

               Following selection of a search field (data element), BLIS will prompt you for an
         appropriate operator. Operator values are:  contains ($) (for word searches), equal to (=), less
         than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (<=), greater than or equal to (>=), or not equal
         to (o).  BLIS will validate the operator which you have chosen and then prompt you for a
         value. .BLIS aids you in selecting an operator by highlighting valid operator options.  You  also
         may learn which values are appropriate for each search  field by pressing Fl (HELP) or by
                                                 3-4

-------
     reading Appendix F of the BUS Users Manual  The Operator Selection Menu and the Values
     Entry screen are displayed in Figures 3.5 and 3.6.

           Any of the operators can be used with text fields, as well as date and numeric fields. By
     using the operator ">" with a text field, you will be searching for any name which follows
     alphabetically. For example, by choosing "POLLUTANT > SO2," you will retrieve pollutants
     which include sulfuric acid, TRS (total reduced sulfur), and VOC (volatile organic compounds).
     If you selects "=" as an operator, BLIS will retrieve any determination hi which the field begins
     with th% selected value. For example, by choosing "FACILITY NAME = THE PA," you will
     get a subset which includes "THE PAPER CLIP FACTORY," "THE PA ELECTRIC PROJECT,"
     and "THE PASTRY SHOP," but not "PASTEURIZATION INC."

           As you develop your search criteria, the data element, operator, and value will be printed
     on the screen. This listing should help to familiarize you with the various elements and operators
     and will hopefully aid you in the transition to advanced BLIS.

              After developing .the first search criterion, you may elect to add another search criterion,
        search the data base, or respecify the entire criteria list (see Figure 3.7).  To add another search

-------
              If you choose to search the data base, BUS will perform the search and create a subset
        For example, you may create a search criterion such as:

              Search field        Operator           Value

              Process code         >=        70.001

        This search criterion will direct BLIS  to subset all determinations containing a process code
        greater than *r equal to 70.001.  In order to reduce search times, you should try to reduce the
        subset as much as possible. By including several search criteria  in  a list, you will create  a
        smaller subset and, thus, reduce search time.

              Following the creation of each  search criteria list, BLIS  will search the data base  and
        present the results of the search.  BLIS will present on screen the number of determinations,
        processes, and pollutants which matched the search criteria list (see Figure 3.8).

        The Advanced Query

               The Advanced Query is similar to the Standard Query in several ways.   The search
        criteria lists have the same structure as the lists in the Standard Query. Searchable fields are also
        identical.  The main differences between the Standard Query and the Advanced Query are the
        way in which search criteria lists are built and the flexibility to edit a criteria list which  is
        provided by the Advanced Query.

               Advanced Query allows you to build each criteria list on one screen.  You are not
        prompted repeatedly for information.  Figure 3.12 displays the screen which the Advanced Query
        user encounters.  In order to create a subset using the Advanced Query, you would first enter
         to create a criteria list  Once you have entered all criteria, you should enter   to
        save the criteria list  These  steps are demonstrated in Figures 3.12 and 3.13.

      Following the creation of a search criteria list, you must choose to search the data
base to create a subset and continue your search (see Figures 3.15 and 3.16). However, you
may select to edit the existing criteria list before searching.  If, after the creation of the
criteria list, you decide the list is not correct, you may select  to edit the criteria list
before you perform the search.  The editing process may only be done using the Advanced
Search menus. Once the search is performed and the results are displayed, you may choose
to create a new search criteria list (this option would be used to further reduce the current
subset), edit the existing criteria list (to rebuild the current subset), scroll through previous
criteria lists (this automatically reactivates previous subsets) or exit to the Query Menu in
order to View or Download the subset.

           After the search is performed, if you decide that not enough data was found, or too many
     records were found, you can select  to change the criteria and then recreate the subset by
     searching the data base again.

           Editing the existing search criteria list is one of the features that separates the Advanced
     Query from the Standard Query. Following a search, you may choose to recall and edit any one
     of the three search criteria lists by using  to scroll up or  to scroll down.
     All previous subsets will remain the same, but all subsets following the edited criteria list will
     be replaced by new subsets.  For example,  you create three subsets (and  three corresponding

     rebuild subset 2 in order to gather the information you need.  The Advanced Query user can
     perform this function in two ways.  From the Advanced Query screen, you may simply scroll up
     () or down () to criteria list 2 and edit it; or you may return to the Query

         Viewing a Subset

                After you choose the View option, BLIS presents a list of facilities in the current subset
         (Figure 3.18).  You must choose  a facility; a listing of processes for the facility follows.  The
         process list  (Figure 3.19)  allows  you to  either view the facility level information (see  Figure
         3.20), or choose a process.  Each process which met the selection criteria will be marked with
         an '*' in the process listing. If you choose to view the facility level data, you may then choose
         to remove this particular facility from your download set (Figures 3.21 and 3.22). If you exercise
         this option,  BLIS will  remove the  marked facility  before downloading the set to the your
         computer. A facility may only be removed from downloading from the View Facility screen.

                      Part 4 — Downloading Information to Your PC

       BLIS allows you to download selected data to the your PC.  Note that if the main data
base is the current selected data file, the Download Subset option produces an error message
stating that you must create a valid subset at  least once in order to download.  You may
download a maximum of 100 determinations at qne time.

       BLIS allows you to select the format of the  downloaded data.  The available format
options for downloading data are free format (all data elements, with data field names), Lotus
or dBASE ready format (most data elements in 'a data base ready for dBASE or translation into
Lotus), and the following standard report formats:

       •      Appendix F:  A summary listing, in alphabetical order  by facility name, which
             includes  the following information:  facility name, year  of  the compilation in
             which the  determination  appears, BLIS ID number and  suffix,  process coae
             number, date of permit issuance, process name.'

       •      Appendix G: A summary listing, in order of process code, which includes the
             following information:  facility name, year of the compilation  in which the
             determination appears, BLIS ID  number  and  suffix, date of permit  issuance,
             agency name, agency contact name, agency telephone number.

       •      Appendix H:   A  detailed listing  of  all new and revised individual source
             information

       •      Scheduling report:  A detailed listing of the scheduling data stored in BLIS. This
             data allows pollution control officials to track the progress of RACT, BACT, and
             LAER determinations.

       •      Statistical Ranking report: A summary listing, in ascending order by  standard
             emission limit, of processes which contain a specified pollutant This data allows
             users  to  compare  the effectiveness  of RACT,  BACT,  and LAER control
             technologies.  At a minimum, the  subset selected must contain only  a  single
             process code and a single pollutant The subset may be further refined by process
             name.  Pollutants with no value in the standard emission limit  field are not
             included in the statistics.  Instead, primary emission limits for these pollutants are
             shown in an exception report. The exception report is sorted by primary emission
           .  unit, then in ascending order by primary emission limit

       After you choose the Download Subset option from the Query Menu, BLIS presents you
with a list of the available formats for downloading and an option to return to the Query Menu
(Figure 4.1). For an example of each downloading format, see Appendix G.

        criteria (marked with an '*'), or download process and pollutant data for pollutants specified in
        the search criteria (marked with an '*').  Please note that any facility which was marked for
        removal from download in the View option  will not be included in the download data set.  If
        there are more than one hundred (non-removed) facilities in your subset, the first one hundred
        will be downloaded.

              When the Scheduling Report is chosen, Figure 4.3 is displayed. The Scheduling Report
        gives information on past due scheduling information. You may choose one particular date to

7igure 4.4 - Download File Name Prompt
              If you have downloaded a file earlier in a session, the file may be overwritten. To avoid
        overwriting files, specify a new file name each time you download during any one session. You
        may also use the download function of your communication software (e.g., CROSSTALK) to
        name a download file.

              Once you have selected the amount of data to download, the program will process the
        subset sequentially. First, a facility record is read and formatted as specified. During the format
        process, the record is written to a  file for downloading.   After  the facility  information is
        formatted, the program loops through all process records for the facility (described below) and
        then reads the next selected facility record.  BLIS updates a status counter of die number of
        determinations as it completes processing of each facility record. When all the facilities have
                                             4-4

-------
been written to the download file, the program executes the download protocol and returns to the
Query Menu.

       If you have selected to download all processes, or if the selection criteria only specified
information at the facility level, the program reads a process record based on Facility number.
Otherwise the program reads a process record based on the subset of data specified. The process
information is then formatted and written to the download file if appropriate.  Following the
formatting of the process data, the program loops through all pollutants for the process (described
in the following paragraph).  Then the next selected process record  is read.   When all the
processes for the current facility have  been read and formatted, the program  reads  the next
selected facility and continues processing.

       If you have selected to download all  pollutants, or if the selection criteria only specified
information at the facility or process level, the program reads the pollutant record based on the
Facility number and Process number. If only pollutants specified in the search criteria are to be
downloaded, the program reads  the pollutant record based on the subset of data selected.  The
pollutant information is then formatted and written to the download file.  When ail tne pollutants
for the current process have been read and formatted, the program reads the next selected process
and continues processing.

       Since the number of determinations that may be downloaded at one time is limited to one
hundred, the download process should not be too  time-consuming.  Some of the download
formats, such  as Free Format, Appendix H,  and  Lotus/dBASE, take longer  because more
information is included.  Any download may be stopped by pressing  during the download
process.

                          USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                          Part 5 — Sihffl'     Information to BLJS
           Upon entering BLIS you may choose to Query or Edit  This section of the BLIS
     User's Manual describes the Edit option.  The first screen in BLIS which you will see is
     displayed in Figure 5.1. To edit, simply press  . As with the Query section of BLJS,
     you must press the enter key after each menu  selection.

           It is important to note that BLJS has an enhanced HELP system which will provide
     assistance at any point during an edit session.  Just press Fl to access the HELP system
     which explains the screen at which you  are  currently looking.  HELP  is  also context-
     sensitive; you will not have to scroll through long lists of values in order to find the one
     appropriate to your situation.

           Upon selection of Edit from the Main menu, BLJS will ask you for a password. In
     order to edit or add any information to the BUS data base, you must have  a valid BLJS ID
     and password (see Figure 5.2).  For information on obtaining a BLJS LD see Part 1  of this
     User's Manual.

ure 5.5 - Record Selection Menu

            Throughout this section of the User's Manual we will refer to determinations in three
      ways; new, edited, and old. New indicates a determination that does not exist in the master
      data base. It has been recently entered into BLIS and has not been promoted.  Edited
      indicates a determination that exists in the master data base, has recently been edited, and
      the current copy resides in the transient data base. Old indicates a determination that exists
      only in the master data base.  No edits exist for this record in the transient data base.

            At the Record Selection Menu you have several options. As mentioned earlier, the
       option will take you directly to a facility listing (similar to  the list seen in the List
      Facilities View Screen). From this listing you may choose to edit one of the facilities on the
      list.

            Another option is  Enter BLJS ED. If you choose this option, BLIS will display
      a pop-up box and prompt you to enter the BUS ID of the record which you would like to
      update (Figure 5.6).  If you do not have authority to update the records for the BLJS ID
      entered, a message is displayed and you will be denied access (Figure 5.7). Alternately, if
      you enter a BLIS ID that does not exist, BLIS will display an error message (Figure 5.8).

      Editing the Data Base

           Editing the data base is a BUS option which allows you to track the progress of your
      determinations or correct any mistakes you may find in your determinations.

           After you choose   List BIIS IDs at the Record Selection Menu, you will be
      presented with a list of the facilities which you are authorized to edit. Once BLIS identifies
      the records to be updated, the BLJS ID and facility name for each record is displayed in
      order by facility name.  Any new or edited determinations listed here will have a letter
      displayed to the left of the BUS ID which describes the status of the record. If no letter
      is displayed, then the determination is old (see Figure 5.13 for an example of "C" and "I").

           From the list which BUS presents, you may choose the facility to edit. In this case,
      let's say you decide to edit WA-0022. You will enter the appropriate record number, in this
      case (3), and BUS will display the process list for that particular facility.  Figure 5.11 shows
      this process list.

           Selecting  Enter BUS ID at the Record Selection Menu will bring you directly
      to the process list
                                         5-9

-------
              At the process list, you must know whether you are editing facility level information,
        process level information, or pollutant level information. To determine which level your
        data is, see Part 2 of this User's Manual.  A very common area of editing is Scheduling
        Information, which is used for tracking the progress of a determination and permit; this
        information is stored at the facility level.

              Although it is possible to edit almost all of the information for a determination, it
        is important to  note two areas in which editing is restricted. First, it is possible to edit
        process information  for a determination, but it is not possible to add a process to or to
        delete a process or pollutant from an existing determination.  For tracking purposes, it is
        necessary for any new processes to be added as part of a new determination. In this case,
        you must choose  Add New Facility at the Record Selection Menu and  reenter the
        facility information and the information for the new process.

              Agency Codes and Agency Names are the second area in which the edit function is
        restricted. You may not change these fields once they have been entered into the data base.
        If a determination has an error or  if an agency name is changed due to reorganization,
        please contact the BOS System Administrator at (919) 541-2736.  He or she has the
        authority to make this change for you.

              The last area  is the BUS ID  (and suffix where applicable). Since this information
        is system generated it is never entered or edited.

-------
           If you choose  Facility Level Data at the Process List, BLIS will display the
     facility level information as seen in Figure 5.12. You can choose to edit or delete the data,
     toggle the data ready for promotion (complete) or not ready for promotion (incomplete),
     or view the notes.

           Toggling 'complete'  or  'incomplete' tells the BLIS System Administrator (SA)
     whether you believe that the determination is complete and ready to be moved to the BLIS
     permanent data base. Periodically, the BLIS SA will review the determinations in the
     transient data base which have been marked 'complete'.  If all of the required fields are
     complete, the BLIS SA will promote the determination to the permanent BLIS data base.
     Alternatively, if the BLIS SA decides that the determination is not complete, he or she will
     toggle it back  to incomplete and send a notice to the person authorized to edit  the
     determination.  See Figure 5.13.

           If you choose to  Edit Facility at the Facility Data screen, BLIS will display all
      facility level information for the determination. At this point you may edit both the facility
      level information and the notes. All fields that may be edited will be highlighted on screen.
      You must place the cursor in the field which you would like to edit and type in the
      information.  If you have questions regarding valid information for a field, press Fl for
      HELP. BLIS is context-sensitive and will provide information for this particular field. See

           After you input all the facility information, BLIS will validate the information in the

     field is in the proper format, i.e. dates before the present date in certain date fields, specific
     numeric ranges in numeric fields.

             A second option which you may choose at the Facility Data screen (Figure 5.13) is
        to  Delete Facility.  This option allows the facility  data and any processes and
        pollutants associated with the facility to be deleted from the transient data base (see Figure
        5.15).

             Selecting to delete a determination from the transient  data base actually flags all the
        records for that determination as deleted. You can still see  the determination but cannot
        edit it. The word "DELETED" will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. For
        edited determinations, you can choose to copy the original data from the master data base
        to the transient data base instead of flagging the determination as deleted.  Any deleted
        records are permanently removed from the transient data base when records are promoted
        to the master data base. If you have chosen  to delete a determination in error, you may
        undelete. This simply removes the flags from each record and the records can be edited  as
        before.

             Note that only new or edited determinations may be deleted/undeleted.

            Using the current example of the James River Corporation, you have now viewed the
      facility list, chosen the first facility, and edited the facility level information. Now it is time
      to edit the process level information.  After saving the changes to the facility level
      information, BLIS returns you to the Process List You may now Eit to Facility List
      or enter a record number to select a process.  See Figure 5.11 to review the process list.
      Assume that you want to edit information for the first process, Furnace, Recovery, #3.
      BUS will now display the Pollutant List for the process (see Figure 5.16). At this screen,
      you may choose to edit the process data or view the information for a specific pollutant, or
      add a new pollutant to this process.  Figure 5.17 displays the screen which you would see
      after choosing

           Figure 5.18 displays the screen used to edit process information (BLIS will highlight
     all fields which may be edited). As with the facility information, by pressing Fl you may
     access HELP at any point while editing process information.

           Deleting a process from a new determination flags the process record and all the
     associated pollutant records the same  as deleting from the facility  level.  For edited
     determinations, the original process and pollutant data from the master data base is copied
     to the transient data base. Undeleting a process works exactly the same at the process level
     as it does at the facility level.                      *

           Remember, only new or edited determinations may be deleted/undeleted.

           To edit pollutant information, follow the same steps as you did to edit facility and
     process level information. First, you must choose a pollutant from the Pollutant List. BLIS
     will then display the Pollutant Data screen (see Figure 5.19). At this point, you may choose
     to  Delete Pollutant or  Edit Pollutant information. If you choose to edit the
     information, the Edit Pollutant screen will appear with the appropriate fields highlighted
     (see Figure 5.20). As with facility and process level information, you can access HELP at
     any point while editing pollutant data by pressing Fl.

        all edits are complete.  Once the edit process is complete for the first determination, you
        will return to the Facility List. At that point, you may choose to Eit to Edit Menu or
        select another facility for which you have update authorization.


        Adding Determinations to the Data Base

              At the Record Selection Menu (Figure 5.5), you may choose to   Add New
        Determination to the BLIS  data base. Using this information, BLIS will assign a unique
        BLIS ID to the new determination.

              In order to add a determination to BUS, the information for the determination does
        not have to  be complete. BLIS can be used as a tracking tool while a determination or
        permit  is  being developed.  The scheduling data, stored at the facility level in BLIS, is
        designed specifically as a tracking aid for air pollution control personnel.

              Although the information for a determination does not  have to be complete, BLIS
        does have certain restrictions with regard to  nn'm'nmtn information.  For each BLIS
        determination, you must input at least one process and one pollutant.  Only the facility
        name, process name, and a pollutant name are needed to save the new determination. Also,

                                            5-18

-------
you should not input information until you are certain that you have listed all processes for
the facility.   You may not add processes to an existing facility  determination.  If, for
example, a facility makes a modification and adds a process, you must reenter all facility
information  and add the process information to this new BUS determination.

      Once BUS has assigned a unique BUS ID to the facility, you are ready to input the
information  for the  determination.   Remember,  BUS  has  context-sensitive HELP
throughout the Add process. If you do not understand the type of information which BUS
requires, just press Fl to view an appropriate HELP screen.

      After choosing to add a new facility at the Record Selection Menu, BUS will prompt
you whether a determination exists from which it should copy facility information. Often,
several determinations exist for one facility. BUS allows you to copy the facility information
to the new determination.  If you answer 'yes' to the prompt, BUS will ask for a BUS ID.
From this ID, BUS will copy the information into the Add Facility screen.

      After receiving an answer, 'yes'" or ''no', BUS will display the Add Facility screen with
or without the copied information  (see Figure 5.21).  Note the new BUS ID in the upper
left-hand corner. Unless facility information was copied, all fields on this screen are blank
except the following:

      a      State abbreviation
      a      U.S. EPA Region
      a     Date  of determination entry (current date)
      a     Agency Code and Name
      a     Date  of last update (current date)

Enter all facility information for the determination and save the information.  BLIS will
provide a message stating that the user must now enter process data for the facility (Figure
5.22).

      Information may be submitted to BUS by filling out an Input form and mailing it to
the BUS SYSOP.  If you would prefer to enter information this way, you may obtain Input
forms by calling the  BUS SYSOP, Joe Steigerwald at (919) 541-2736.  The following
instructions explain how to complete the Input form and how to submit it.
      INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING BACT/LAER CLEARINGHOUSE

                              INPUT SUMMARY

1.     Company Name/Site Location; Insert name and address of the proposed facility.
      The address should be the location of the proposed faculty not the address of the
      parent company unless they are the same.

2.     Determination;  Circle "New" or "Modified," depending on the nature of the permit.
      If the permit covers a new unit at a new or existing source, it should be marked as
      "New." If the addition of a new unit to an existing source triggers a new permit for
      the entire source, then it should be circles "Modified."  If the permit  is only for a
      single unit, but the unit was modified, then it should be circled, "Modified."

3.     Permit Number:  This should be the identification number assigned by the agency
      that issued the permit.

4.    • Determination Made  by;  Designate the agency and the person to whom telephone
      requests should be directed.  This should be the person most capable of responding
      to factual questions about the permit decision. Please include the area code with the
      phone number.

5.     Scheduling Information;  Permitting scheduling dates stored  in BUS are:

            - date application is received
            - control technology determination (estimated and actual)
            - air quality analysis complete (estimated and actual)

       same units of measure used in the NSPS to describe the size of a source. Wherever
       possible, use the list of standardized abbreviations for process and emission limit -
       Appendix D.

8.     Process Type Code;  A code assigned to  each process (see Appendix B) used to
       categorize determinations.

9.     SCC Code;  This  code is the standard source classification for the processes used
       throughout the  Office of Air at EPA

            Hg         Mercury
            VC         Vinyl Chloride

      Abbreviations for other pollutants are listed in Appendix D.

12.    Emission Limit(s): For consistency and ease of comparison, list the emission limit
      or rate in the units of measure  listed in Appendix C or those used in AP-42.
      Wherever possible use the list of standard abbreviations (Appendix D).

      There are multiple emission limits in the Qearinghouse, they are:

            Primary emission limit and units:  The primary emission limit Listed in the
            permit.

            Alternate emission limit and units:  If provided on the permit, these numbers
            represent any alternate emission measurements which the facility may make.

            Standardized limit and units: This limit allows comparison with other similar
            determinations in BUS. If standard units  are provided for process types,
            BUS users can  compare the  entries in this field  to determine  the most
            stringent limits.

            Base-line limit and units: A base-line figure provided by the permit issuing
            agency.  This figure can be used to calculate percent efficiency. The units
            must be the same as the Standardized limit.

13.    Regulatory Requirements Associated with Limit: Indicate the regulatory requirement
      that precipitated establishing the limit presented, i.e., BACT-PSD, BACT-Other,
      LAER, MACT, RACT,

      GACT, NSPS, NESHAPS, or Other.  Do not list such items as stack test, design or
      others. These items generally represent the supporting information that may have
      been used to document or establish the given limit.  Such items should be included

      equipment (ESP, fabric filter, etc.O, operational modifications, limits in the type and
      amount  of  raw materials used,  limits  on throughout  or hours  of  operation.
      maintenance  requirements,   equipment  specifications,  or  other  limitations.
      Information hi this section may be supplemented under the "Notes" section.

15.   Control Equipment Manufacturing and Model Number: Two fields which provide
      specific information on the control equipment. Please provide this information if it
      is available.

16.   Type of Emission controlled;  A one-character field indicating whether the emission
      is fugitive, point-source, or area-source.

17.   Overall Efficiency %;  Enter the overall system efficiency, consisting of capture
      (hoods, ductwork, ect.) and collection (control device) efficiency. Any breakdown of
      efficiencies for capture of collection individually should be shown under "Notes."

18.   Calculated Efficiency;  The  efficiency of control calculated using  the  base-line
      emissions and the standardized emissions  limit.

19.   Control Option Ranking Information;  Two pieces of information are requested:
      The number of control options examined and the rank of the control option selected.
      The "rank" is the number os the control option selected when the options are ordered
      according to the performance of the control system.  Number 1 would be the best

                   Appendix E - Tnfnrmqrinn on the OAOPS TTN
                      From the OAQPS TTN Brochure 12/91

 What is OAOPS TTN?

 OAQPS, the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, provides information and
 technical support on air pollution  control.  Its four divisions - Air Quality Management,
 Emission  Standards, Technical Support, and  Stationary Source  Compliance - provide
 services to EPA Regional Offices, State and local agencies, consultants, industry, and the
 general public.  These services include clearinghouses, conferences, reports,  manuals,
 newsletters, support centers, workshops, classroom training, self-instructional courses, and
 TTN.

 TTN, Technology Transfer Network, is a network of electronic bulletin boards developed
 and operated by OAQPS. The network provides information and technology exchange in
 different areas of air pollution control, ranging from emission test methods to regulatory air
 pollution models.  The service is free except for the cost of the phone call.

 How does it work?

 You access the network  from your own computer through the use of a modem and
 communications software. Your computer connects with a computer at EPA through the
 phone  lines.  Once you're on the network, you've got all the tools,  technology, and
 information in any of the bulletin boards available at your fingertips.  You can find tools to
 estimate air pollutant emissions, download computer code for regulatory air models, read
 a Title summary of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, find a course offered by the Air
 Pollution Training Institute, or request technical support in implementing an air pollution
 control program. You can transfer files, communicate with other users, leave a question for
 others to answer, or upload a file for others to  use.

 Who can use it?

 Anyone in the world wanting to  exchange information about  air pollution,  including
personnel in State and local agencies, the private sector, EPA, and foreign countries.

How do I access it?

Set up  your computer, call the network,  and register on-line.  Once your  registration is
accepted, you're free to use the network whenever you need to.  Follow the steps below.

Step 1  Install a modem  and communications software on your computer, if you don't

                                      E-l

-------
already have them.  There are a wide variety to choose from.          '

Step 2 Set the following parameters on your communications software:

      Data Bits:    8
      Parity:       N
      Stop Bits:    1

Step 3 Call the network using your communications software:                %

      (919) 541-5742 for a 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps modem

Step 4 Log on to the system and answer the questions on the screen, first about yourself,
then about your computer. Press ENTER after each response, except single characters like
Y (yes) or N (no).

      First Name?  (Type your first name.)
      Last Name?  (Type your last name.)
      Calling from (City, State)? (Type your city and state, for example, Raleigh, NC.)
      You are asked to verify this information.  (Y or N)

Next select a password, keeping in mind that passwords are CaSe sensitive. After this, you
will see notes and news.  Press ENTER until you reach the main menu for w/zregistered
users. As a nonregistered user, you have 30 minutes to browse the menu options. To select
an option, type the character within brackets < >.

Step 5 Select Registration and answer the questions. After confirming the information you
have entered you will see  the main menu for registered users. At this point you can select
other options or exit the system. Descriptions ofOAQPS TTNBulletin Board System contains
a brief description of the different bulletin boards available on the network. System Utilities
contains various option, which are also available after you become a registered user.

What's on the network?

Eight bulletin boards are currently available on the network, with more to come.

OAQPS - Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards explains the structure and function
of the four divisions that make up this office, including names and numbers of management
staff.

EMTIC - Emission Measurement Technical Information Center provides access to emission
test methods  and testing  information for the development and enforcement of national,
State, and local emission prevention and control programs.  It includes computer programs,
stack testing information, regulations, EMTIC documents, the latest changes to methods,

                                      E-2

-------
bulletins, contact names within EMTIC, and public domain software. It offers technical
guidance  on  stationary  source  testing issues  'in support of  the development and

TRANSFERRING FILES
Download a file

1     Access the BBS containing the file you want to download, for example, < E > CAAA.
2     Select the category from which you want to download, for example, <6> Title VI:
      Stratospheric Ozone, then  Title VI Text/Summaries.
3     Once you see a list of files, note the name of the file you want to transfer.
4     Type P to select the  protocol that allows the BBS to send a file and that your
      communications software supports. For example type P 4 for XMODEM protocol.
      If you don't know which protocol to select, look in your communications software
      documentation.  This protocol is used for all files you download for the remainder
      of your call, unless you change it with the P command.  (To skip this step, see hint
      below.)
5     Type the name of the file you want to download. For example, SUMM6.TXT. If you
      can't remember the name of the file, type L to see the list of files again, then enter

      procedures. For example, if you have PROCOMM,  press the PAGEDOWN key to
      see -the protocol menu, select the protocol, in this example, 1 for XMODEM, and
      enter path and name of the file you want to create on your computer, for example,
      C:\BBSDIR\BBSFILE.TXT.    The procedure  indicates  when  the  transfer is
      completed.
7     Now you can transfer another file or return to the menu.

      Hint: Assign a default protocol to be  used every time you download a file. Select
            < C>hange Terminal Config from the System Utilities Menu. Select D - Set
            File Download Protocol.  Then choose a default protocol.  Now whenever you
            download a file, simply enter the file name,  such as SUMM6.TXT. You do
            not have to specify the P command first, except to change the default.

Decompress files
Files with the file name extension ARC or ZIP are compressed (archived) to save space and
time when downloading. These files must be decompressed (unarchived) to save space and
time when downloading.  These files must be decompressed (unarchived) after downloading
to be used.

1     Select ystems Utilities from the Top Menu.
2     Select rchivers/Dearchivers from the Systems Utilities Menu.
3     Download ARCE.COM, ARCE.DOC,  DEARCH.TXT, and PKZ110.EXE. Do this
      step only one time for all files you need to decompress.
4     Download any ARC or ZIP file you want to decompress from any of the BBS's.


                                     E-7

-------
5     When you exit the network and return to DOS, create a new directory and copy the
      downloaded files to it In this way, files you decompress are not mixed in with your
      other files.
6     For ARC files, types ARCE filename were filename is the name of an ARC file you
      want to decompress, for example, ARCE PCRAMT1.ARC.
      For ZIP  files,  type PKZ110 to decompress the PKZ110 file,  which  generates
      additional files. Then use the PKUNZIP command to decompress any of the ZIP
      files you downloaded, for example, PKUNZIP CAUNE3.ZIP.

      More information about dearchiving files is in DEARCH.TXT, one of the files you
      downloaded.

Upload a file

In some BBS's you can upload a file for general use. Enter the appropriate area and follow
the instructions provided. The procedure is similar to downloading a file, except for minor
differences. For example, in PROCOMM. press PAGEUP to upload a file (instead of
