SECTION 1
THE NATIONAL AIR TOXICS INFORMATION CLEARINGHOUSE
THE CLEARINGHOUSE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State and Territorial
Air Pollution Program Administrators/Association of Local Air Pollution Control
Officials (STAPPA/ALAPCO) jointly established the National Air Toxics Information
Clearinghouse to support State and local agency efforts to control toxic air
pollutants. The Clearinghouse is designed to make it easier for Federal, State,
and local agencies to exchange information about air toxics and to develop and
operate air toxics control programs.
The primary purpose of the Clearinghouse is to collect, classify, and dissem-
inate air toxics information provided by State and local air agencies, EPA, and
other Federal and International agencies. Clearinghouse information is distributed
in these ways:
«. Bimonthly newsletters containing information on State, local and Federal
air toxics programs and activities, research, agency case histories,
etc. ;
• Special reports on specific air toxics issues;
• A computerized data base;
• Hardcopy reports of data contained in the data base issued on a regular
schedule;
• Response to requests for specific information; and
• National workshops and seminars.
Table 1 provides a list of Clearinghouse publications issued as of February
1988. All reports are available free of charge to State and local agencies through
the Clearinghouse [(919) 541-0850, FTS 629-0850]. The newsletter is available free
of charge to State and local agencies and the general public through the Clearing-
house as well. The private sector may purchase reports from the National Technical
Information Service at (703) 487-4650, or from Radian Corporation at (512) 454-4797,
ext. 5224.

THE NATICH DATA BASE
A computer data base (NATICH) forms the core of the Clearinghouse. The data
base resides on the EPA National Computer Center's IBM mainframe computer and is
designed for easy access and data retrieval. It contains all of the information
collected from State and local agencies on their air toxics activities as well as
bibliographic and research information from EPA and other organizations. Informa-
tion collected from State and local agencies includes the following:
• State and local air toxics contacts;
• Regulatory program descriptions;
• Acceptable ambient concentration guidelines and standards;
• Pollutant research and methods development activities;
• Non-health related impacts;
• Permitting data;
• Ambient air monitoring information;
• Source test data;
• Emissions inventory information;
• Agency publications and documents; and
• Ongoing research and regulatory development projects.
State and local agencies do not submit confidential business information about
sources in their jurisdictions.
The NATICH data base also contains information collected from EPA and other
Federal and International organizations on their ongoing research and regulatory
development projects and bibliographic citations/abstracts for published documents.
Information provided by EPA includes selected EPA risk analysis information as
well.
The information in the data base is generally indexed according to agency,
pollutant, and type of emission source. Using your agency's microcomputer or
minicomputer, a modem and emulator package, you can have interactive viewing access
to all data base information via a series of easy to use menus which appear on your
screen. The menus direct you to answers to questions such as: "Which agencies
have regulated acrylonitrile?" and "What pollutants have been found through source
1-3
-------
tests to be emitted from municipal incinerators?". Answers to these and hundreds
of other questions can be obtained quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
DATA COLLECTION
The Clearinghouse collects information in several ways, including an annual
information request from State and local agencies, and an annual Federal and
International survey of ongoing research and published air toxics information.
State and local agencies can submit information to the data base in three ways:
(1) by completing and returning the NATICH data collection forms; (2) by transfer-
ring information from agency computer files to the NATICH data base via magnetic
tape or diskette ; and (3) by directly accessing NATICH data entry and editing
2
programs . To protect system security, agencies are allowed data entry access only
to data for their agency. The Clearinghouse welcomes and encourages the submission
of data collection forms, the transfer of computer files, and direct data entry and
editing by State and local agencies to maintain the currency of the information in
the data base on State and local air toxics activities.
OBTAINING INFORMATION FROM NATICH
You can obtain information from the NATICH data base in three ways:
(1) through direct computer access; (2) from hardcopy reports; and (3) by request-
ing information from EPA regional contacts or the Clearinghouse staff. With a
microcomputer or minicomputer, a modem, and an emulator package, you can have
interactive viewing access to all data base information. Interactive access means
that you can ask questions of the data base and receive answers via your computer
terminal.
If you do not have access to a computer, you can consult the regularly-issued
hardcopy reports of data contained in the data base (see Table 1). In addition,
If you have information contained in computer files that could be transferred by
computer, please call Ed Brown, Radian Corporation, (512) 454-4797.

you can call the EPA Regional Office air toxics contacts listed in Table 2 and they
can obtain data base information for you.
USING THIS GUIDE
This Users Guide was prepared to help you access and use the NATICH data
viewing programs to obtain information directly from the data base. Section 2 of
this guide specifies the hardware and software you will need to access the data
base, describes how to gain authority for interactive viewing access to the data,
and provides step-by-step logon and logoff instructions. Section 3 provides an
overview of how the interactive data viewing system works and includes a concise
summary of each available report program. Section 4 guides you through selected
report programs with step-by-step instructions and figures showing actual screens
of data from the data base.
Additional guidance on solving miscellaneous problems, the use of the key-
board, and information to help you select and interpret information in the data
base can be found in the appendices.
Appendix A describes several common problems which you may encounter in
accessing and using the data base, such as your keyboard becoming locked or the
cursor moving outside a defined field, and offers solutions to these problems. It
also lists who to contact if a problem should persist or for guidance on problems
not described in the appendix.
Appendix B provides guidance on certain keyboard functions important to the
NATICH data base. In general, the characters, numbers, or function keys you need
to use to retrieve information from the data base are fairly limited. A long
pollutant name may be the largest number of characters you need to enter at any one
time. However, should you encounter some difficulty with keyboard usage, consult
this appendix.
Appendix C lists the State and local agencies that have, submitted information
to the data base and their acronyms. The agency acronym is included in many of the
viewing displays instead of the full name of the agency; therefore, you should

familiarize yourself with the acronyms or keep a reference copy of the list handy.
Generally, the acronym consists simply of the two-letter State abbreviation for the
State agencies. For the local agencies, an abbreviation for the city, county, or
local district name is added to the two-letter State abbreviation. For example,
the acronym for the Bureau of Air Quality Control for the State of Pennsylvania is
PA. The acronym for Air Management Services for the city of Philadelphia is
PA-PHIL.
Pollutants are identified in the data base by their Chemical Abstracts Service
(CAS) number. The CAS number is a unique number assigned to chemicals by the
American Chemical Society CAS Registry System. The CAS numbers are independent of
nomenclature and have no chemical significance. They are assigned as each new
chemical enters the CAS Registry System. Groups of chemicals or pollutants such as
"organic compounds" that cannot be identified more precisely by a CAS number have
been assigned unique Clearinghouse identifiers in the place of CAS numbers.
Appendix D lists the Clearinghouse identifiers for chemical groups included in the
data base. The identifier consists of some combination of letters which abbre-
viates the chemical group name, prefixed by CL (for Clearinghouse). The Clearing-
house identifiers are therefore easily distinguished from CAS numbers which are
entirely numeric. For example, the Clearinghouse identifier for chlorinated
hydrocarbons, for which there is no CAS number, is CL-CHC.
Sources are categorized in the data base by their Standard Industrial Classi-
fication Codes (SIC Codes). Appendix E presents a complete list of SIC Codes and
corresponding short titles for a comprehensive range of economic activities. The
SIC Code was developed by the Federal government (U.S. Department of Commerce) for
use in the classification of establishments by type of activity in which they are
engaged. The classification is structured on a hierarchical two-digit, three-
digit, and four-digit industry code basis, according to the level of industry
detail. The two-digit number stands for the major industrial group (e.g., primary
metal industries), the three-digit number for the group (e.g., primary nonferrous
metals) and the four-digit number for the industry (e.g., primary aluminum).

SECTION 2
ACCESS TO THE NATICH DATA BASE
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
To directly access the NATICH data base you will need a computer, modem, and a
VT100 ANSI full-screen emulator package such as Crosstalk® or Smarterm® . The
emulator package allows your computer to communicate with the EPA computer.
To communicate with the NATICH data base, set up the following communications
parameters (if you have a full screen VT100 emulation package):
• 1200 baud rate2; • Seven data bits;
• Even parity; • One stop bit; and
• Full duplex; • VT100 emulation.
Keep in mind that some specific procedures such as configuring your equipment
to communicate with the data base will depend on your particular computer, modem,
and emulator package.
AUTHORIZATION TO LOGON
State and Local Agencies
To gain authority for interactive data viewing, you must set up an account
with EPA. You will want set up one account for each user. To do so:
1. Call or write your EPA Regional Office air toxics contact (see Table 2)
and request authorization to log onto NATICH. You will receive by mail a
User ID, an account name, and an initial password from the EPA National
Computer Center (NCC).
Use of trade names does not constitute an endorsement by EPA or STAPPA/ALAPCO.
Numerous terminals also can be used. Call EPA Telecommunications at (800)
334-0744 for details.
2
Higher baud rates can be used, but the logon procedures will differ. If you
have the equipment to use a higher baud rate, contact the Clearinghouse Staff
at (919) 541-0850 or FTS 629-0850 to determine appropriate logon procedures.
2-1
-------
2. Call EPA Telecommunications at (800) 334-0744 for your local TYMNET
telephone number (TYMNET is the telephone network that connects you with
the EPA Computer).
3. Contact the EPA Clearinghouse staff to obtain additional information and
assistance necessary to log onto NATICH at the address and telephone
number listed below:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711
(919) 541-0850 FTS 629-0850
When you contact the Clearinghouse staff, you will be given interactive
viewing access to all the information in the NATICH data base. To gain access to
data entry programs to enter or update data for your agency, your assigned access
level must be upgraded by the Clearinghouse staff. If. you already have an account
with EPA for interactive viewing access to information in the data base, you do not
need to change your account or open a new account to obtain authorization to enter
data. You need only contact the Clearinghouse Staff at (919) 541-0850 or FTS
629-0850 and request that your access level be upgraded for data entry authoriza-
tion. Please note that each agency is responsible for maintaining strict oversight
of the data entry function. Security can be enhanced by limiting the number of
agency personnel with authorization to enter and edit data.
General Public
The NATICH data base is also available to the public through the National
Technical Information Service (NTIS). Call Cathy Metzler or Lois Grooms, NTIS, at
(703) 487-4807 and request an on-line license and billing agreement. Complete and
return the agreement to NTIS. NTIS will then contact the EPA National Computer
Center and obtain a User ID, account name, and password for you. Next, contact the
Clearinghouse staff at (919) 541-0850 or FTS 629-0850 to obtain additional infor-
2-2
-------
mation necessary to log onto NATICH. Each month the National Computer Center sends
NTIS a billing tape, and NTIS will bill you for computer time (approximately
$12-$15 per hour of access time). Data entry and editing access is not available
to the general public.
EPA and other Federal Agencies
Staff members of EPA and other Federal agencies can also arrange for data
viewing access to the NATICH data base by setting up an account with EPA as per the
directions for State and local agencies or through use of an existing account on
the NCC computer. Federal users must contact the Clearinghouse staff to receive
data base authorization for their User IDs. Data entry and editing access is not
available to EPA or other Federal Agency personnel.
LOGON PROCEDURES
Initial Logon
To logon to the NATICH data base, use the following procedure for your initial
logon. Subsequent logons will involve a more streamlined procedure which will
automatically enter certain logon parameters for you.
• First, dial your TYMNET number.
After you see the message "Connect", you will see the prompt "Please type your
terminal identifier". When this prompt appears:
• Type the letter "A" to identify the terminal type ("A" stands for VT100
emulation). You do not need to strike the RETURN key after entering "A".
Next you will see the prompt "Please log in".
• Type "EPA1" and strike the RETURN key.
You will now see the message "Welcome to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency National Computer Center". When the port selector menu appears:
2-3
-------
• Enter "TCP" and strike the RETURN key.
Next you will see the prompt "Connected".
• Rapidly strike the "1" key (shift "]") at least four or five times; you
do not need to strike the RETURN key. (You must begin typing "l"s within
about 10 seconds after seeing the prompt or the computer will halt the
logon procedure. The "I" key will work for IBM and many other terminals.
For some terminals you may need to substitute the letter "M" for the "|";
for VT52 terminals, you may use "5".)
At this point a "Telecommunications Network" banner will appear with the
prompt "Enter Command or M for Menu."
• Enter "PCICS" and strike the RETURN key.
The next screen will ask you for your User ID, account name, FIMAS ID, group,
password, and initial transaction.
• Move from one prompt line to the next by striking the TAB key. Enter
your User ID, account name, FIMAS ID, group, and password. (The FIMAS ID
is "SAROP"; the group is the same as your account name.)
• Type "NSSP STACK=(LOGON ATCLO)" at the "INITIAL TRANSACTION" prompt.
• Then, TAB down and type an "X" in front of the "NO NEWS" prompt and
strike the RETURN key.
• Strike the RETURN key when the next screen appears to "INVOKE THE INITIAL
TRANSACTION."
The first menu for the NATICH data base will then appear. From that menu you
may proceed to the interactive report programs.
Subsequent Logons
After you initially logon, subsequent logons will be more streamlined. Follow
the initial logon instructions until you come to the screen which asks for your
User ID.
2-4
-------
• Enter your User ID and strike the RETURN key.
• Enter your password and strike the RETURN key.
• Strike the RETURN key again when the next screen appears to "INVOKE THE
INITIAL TRANSACTION."
The first menu for the NATICH data base will then appear.
LOGOFF PROCEDURES
To exit from the NATICH data base:
• From the submenus, enter an "E" to exit and strike the RETURN key;
• Choose selection "QU" on the main reports menu and strike the RETURN key.
Now you will see the cursor in the upper left corner of your screen.
• Type "CSSF LOGOFF" and strike the RETURN key.
You are now logged off the computer, but are still on the telephone line. To
disconnect the telephone line, follow the instructions that apply to your modem.
Be sure to use this logoff procedure rather than just walking away from the compu-
ter; if you fail to logoff, your account will continue to be charged for access
time.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
At times you may encounter difficulties logging onto the computer or problems
while using the data base itself. Refer to Appendix A for guidance. If the
problem continues, please call the Clearinghouse staff at (919) 541-0850 or FTS
629-0850.

SECTION 3
OVERVIEW OF THE INTERACTIVE DATA VIEWING SYSTEM
CONTENTS OF THE DATA BASE
NATICH Data
At this time, the NATICH data base contains data in three main categories:
(1) data collected from State and local air pollution control agencies on their air
toxics activities and names to contact for additional information; (2) citations
and abstracts to published documents and descriptions of ongoing research related
to toxic air pollutants from State and local agencies, EPA, and other Federal and
International organizations; and (3) selected EPA risk analysis information.
Table 3 describes the types of data residing in NATICH in more detail. These data
are updated on a regular basis. It is likely that new and different types of data
will be added to the data base in the future in response to advancement in fields
such as pollution control, emergency response, and health risk assessment.
Organization
The NATICH interactive viewing system is screen-oriented and menu-driven. Its
design allows you to select and view data without specific knowledge of the NATICH
data base physical design or the programming language. It works by displaying
menus on the screen which list the data selection choices available to you. User
prompts guide you each time you are presented with a menu selection or blank to
fill in. You will have access to all of the information in the NATICH data base
through a series of 22 report programs.
The data are indexed in the data base in several ways and can be retrieved by
searching on the indexes presented to you as menu choices. State and local agency
data are indexed by agency, by CAS number and pollutant name (if it is pollutant-
specific information), and by SIC code (if it is source-specific information).
Permitting data submitted by State and local agencies are also indexed by the year
the permit was issued or last amended. References to published documents and

assessment), sponsor (e.g., State or local agency, EPA, NIOSH), pollutant name or
CAS number, and SIC code. Selected EPA risk information is indexed by pollutant
name or CAS number, SIC Code, and State. By selecting from the available menu
choices, you can retrieve data from the data base to answer very specific,
narrowly—defined questions or broad-based inquiries relevant to the evaluation and
control of toxic air pollutants.
Quality Control
The usefulness of the NATICH data base to you and others is dependent, of
course, on the quality of data entered into the data base. The NATICH data base
controls the quality of the data in four important ways.
First, the data base imposes a data confirmation function in all data entry
programs. A person entering data must confirm that each screen of data is what
he/she intends to enter before the transaction is final. The data confirmation
function is designed to minimize the unintentional entry of spurious or erroneous
data.
Second, the data base automatically validates certain important data parame-
ters, including CAS numbers, SIC Codes, and SCCs (Source Classification Codes),
before information related to that parameter can be entered. The NATICH data base
will not allow the entry of a CAS number, SIC code, or SCC unless it is known to
the data base. All valid SIC Codes and SCCs and more than 2,000 CAS numbers are
known to the data base. This validation function is intended to prevent the entry
of erroneous CAS numbers, SIC Codes and SCCs. This is extremely important because
the data, in large part, are keyed to and retrieved by these parameters.
Third, data entry and editing access is available only to the Clearinghouse
staff and to authorized State and local agency personnel (who can access data only
for their agency). The Clearinghouse encourages State and local agencies to
maintain strict oversight of the data entry function and to limit the number of
agency personnel with authorization to enter and edit data.
3-5
-------
Fourth, each person who enters data into the data base is responsible for the
quality of the data he/she enters. Although transparent to the user, all data
entered into the data base are stamped with the date and the User ID used to gain
access to the data entry function. This allows the Clearinghouse staff to monitor
all data entry and update activities. State and local agencies are asked to review
information contained in the data base once each year.
MENU STRUCTURE
You have interactive viewing access to all the data in the NATICH data base
via menus of report programs. The report menus are organized hierarchically into a
Home Menu, the Report Selection Menu, and six Report Menus, each containing a
category of reports. The hierarchical arrangement means that you can step forward
to a subordinate menu or step backward to the preceding (parent) menu. Figure 1
illustrates this relationship. You can leave the report programs from the Home
Menu, the Report Selection Menu, or the individual Report menus.
If you have authorization to enter/edit data in addition to interactive
viewing access, when you log onto the NATICH data base (see Section 2 for logon
procedures) you will immediately see the HOME MENU which gives you a choice of
selecting:
1. Clearinghouse Reports, or;
2 User Data Entry.
If you select #1, the REPORT SELECTION MENU appears. If you select #2, the
FORMS MENU appears for the user data entry programs. For guidance on using the
data entry programs, consult the NATICH Data Base Users Guide for Data Entry and
Editing. If you have interactive viewing access only, when you logon you will
bypass the HOME MENU entirely and go directly to the REPORT SELECTION MENU.
The REPORT SELECTION MENU gives you a choice of selecting a REPORT MENU for
six categories of reports or of accessing a report directly via the report number.
The options include:

6. Permitting Information Reports; and
7. Access a Report Directly.
You can enter a number from this list to go to a specific REPORT MENU or to
access a report directly, or you can enter:
QU to QUIT Session; or
Return to Parent Menu
(which is the HOME MENU in this case).
The reports have been grouped into the above six categories based on the focus
of the reports and the search criteria. Agency Reports, Pollutant Reports, and
Source Reports all retrieve State and local agency data by agency, by pollutant
name or CAS number, and by SIC Code, respectively. The Bibliographic Citations and
Ongoing Research Report retrieves the citations and abstracts for published docu-
ments and research projects which you can select either by a document or project
number or by a combination of key words including pollutant name, CAS number, SIC
Code, reference type and/or sponsor. The Risk Analysis Report retrieves selected
EPA risk analysis information which you can select by pollutant name or CAS number,
by SIC Code, or by State. The Permitting Information Report retrieves the same
permitting data available through Agency, Pollutant, and Source Reports; however,
this is a more powerful program in that you can use a combination of search
criteria, including CAS number or pollutant name, SIC Code, and/or the year the
permit was issued or last amended, to select the data.
When you arrive at a Report Menu, you will be able to scan the available
reports in that category and select a report to view data based on the focus of
your search. Each of the 22 specific reports will also present you with menu
options to select the data you wish to see.

REPORT PROGRAMS
Table 4 lists the 22 report programs currently available in the data base and
provides a concise summary of each report. It lists the report number and title
and describes the data retrieval options and the data the report retrieves. Please
note that the report numbers associated with each report are no longer consecutive
due to modifications of and additions to the data base.
Effective searching in the data base may involve moving from one category of
report programs to another. When using the report programs in the POLLUTANT
INFORMATION category, for example, you may see a piece of data (e.g., reference to
a source test conducted by a specific agency for a pharmaceutical plant) which
causes you to seek out additional information about the source tests conducted by
that agency or about other source tests conducted for similar source types. You
can obtain this information by accessing appropriate programs in the AGENCY
INFORMATION category and the SOURCE INFORMATION category. IS. you would like to
obtain more detailed information than is contained in the data base, you should
write or telephone the contact listed on your screen or an appropriate contact from
the contacts directory available via Report 1 (Agency Name, Address, Phone Number,
Contacts).
Section 4 guides you through selected report programs with step-by-step
instructions and figures showing actual screens of data from the data base. After
you have some practice moving about the data base and become familiar with the menu
choices and report programs, you should be able to retrieve the data you need
quickly and effortlessly.

SECTION 4
SELECTED REPORT PROGRAMS
AGENCY REPORTS
Complete information submitted to the data base by State and local agencies
(except bibliographic citations and ongoing research) is available using reports in
the AGENCY INFORMATION category. Each report in this group retrieves certain
information about a specific agency's air toxics activities or lists agencies which
satisfy search criteria selected by the user. Use this group of reports when the
focus of your search is to retrieve information about a specific agency rather than
a specific pollutant or source.
Available reports include:
1. Report 1 - Agency Name, Address, Phone Number, and Contacts;
2. Report 2 - Air Toxics Program Information by Agency;
3. Report 3 - Acceptable Ambient Concentration Guidelines or Standards
by Agency;
4. Report 4 - Pollutant Research Data by Agency;
5. Report 5 - Methods Development Activities by Agency;
6. Report 6 - Non-health Related Impact Information by Agency;
7. Report 7 - Permitting Information by Agency;
8. Report 8 - Source Testing Information by Agency;
9. Report 9 - Ambient Monitoring Information by Agency; and
10. Report 20- Emissions Inventory Information by Agency.
Selecting an Agency
When using this group of report programs you will be called on to select a
specific agency in order to view that agency's data. You do not have to know the
names of all the agencies included in the data base in order to access the data.
When you select a report program in this group, at the appropriate time you will
see a prompt:
4-1
-------
ENTER 2-LETTER STATE ABBREVIATION (OR TO EXIT):
• Type in the 2-letter State postal abbreviation (e.g., CA, PA) of the
State where the agency you wish to select is located and strike the
RETURN key.
A numbered list of agencies in the State will appear along with a prompt, as in
this example for the State of Illinois:
1. Department of Inspections and Permits, City of Evanston
2. Bedford Park Environmental Quality Control Board
3. IL Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Air Pollution Control
ENTER SELECTION OR TO CONTINUE:
• Type in the number from the list which corresponds to the agency you wish
to select and strike the RETURN key, or, if the list of agencies
continues to the next screen and you wish to see the complete list,
strike the RETURN key without entering a number.
After you have selected a specific agency by entering a number and striking
the RETURN key, the first screen of data for that agency will appear. Prompts will
guide you on every screen as you move through the report programs.
Example Reports
Step-by-step instructions are provided for the following reports:
• Report 1 - Agency General Information;
• Report 5 - Methods Development Activities By Agency; and
• Report 20- Emissions Inventory Information By Agency.
When you are familiar with these report programs you should have no problem
executing the other report programs in this group.
4-2
-------
Report 1 - Agency General Information
When you select Report 1 either from the AGENCY REPORTS menu or directly from
the REPORT SELECTION MENU, a menu screen for Report 1 will appear. The menu gives
you three numbered options:
(0) Return to Main Reports Menu;
(1) View Agency Name, Address, Phone Number, Contacts for Specific Agency;
and
(2) View Agency Name, Address, Phone Number, Contacts for All Agencies.
Enter the number which corresponds to the option you wish to select.
If you select option (1), you must next designate a specific agency as de-
scribed above (see instructions under the heading "Selecting An Agency"). After
you designate an agency, a data screen will appear which lists the agency name, ad-
dress, and telephone number, and contact names, telephone numbers, and number of
work years in 10 areas of expertise. The value for number of work years represents
the total number of work years assigned to air toxics subject area, including
management levels. Figure 2 shows an example data screen from this report for the
Cleveland Division of Air Pollution Control in Cleveland, Ohio.
When you have finished viewing the data on the screen, you can simply strike
the RETURN key to return to the Report 1 menu.
If you select Option (2), you can scroll through these data for every agency
included in the data base, in alphabetical order by State, on succeeding screens.
On each screen you have the option to continue scrolling through the data (by
striking the RETURN key) or to exit to the Report 1 menu (by entering "E").

If you select Option (2) to list agencies that have submitted methods develop-
ment activity information, a screen will appear which allows you to designate the
one or more methods development activities about which you wish to retrieve infor-
mation. The screen lists the eight methods development activities and directs you
to enter a "Y" (for yes) next to each activity you wish to select. Leave the space
blank if you do not want to select a methods development activity; do not enter an
"N" (for No) or any other character. Use the TAB key to move the cursor up and
down the list of methods development activities. If you need to "erase" a "Y",
move the cursor to the "Y" you wish to remove and press the SPACE bar. Strike the
RETURN key only when you have completed the selection and wish to view a list of
the agencies that have reported methods development activity information to the
data base in the areas you selected.
Remember that if you enter a "Y" next to more than one activity (for example,
emissions testing and ambient monitoring), the computer will search for agencies
that have submitted information on both emissions testing and ambient monitoring.
If you would like a complete list for emissions testing and a complete list for
ambient monitoring, select one activity at a time.
When you have completed your selection of methods development activities,
strike the RETURN key. A data screen will appear which indicates the methods
development activities you selected and lists State and local agencies, in alpha-
betical order by State, that have reported methods development activity information
to the data base in the areas you selected. Figure 4 shows an example of this data
screen from the data base for which accident prevention and/or emergency response
procedures (number 4) was selected. If the list continues on to more than one
screen, you can continue to the next screen by striking the RETURN key or you can

(3) View Inventory Data for a Specific Agency.
Enter the number which corresponds to the option you wish to select.
If you select Option (1) you must next designate a specific agency as de-
scribed above (see instructions under the heading "Selecting An Agency"). After
you designate an agency, a data screen will appear which lists the agency name,
emissions inventory contact and telephone number, and describes the agency's air
toxics emissions inventory in terms of answers to a series of yes/no and fill-in-
the blank questions on inventory status, data collection methodology, inventory
scope, inventory information, and inventory size. The description continues on to
four additional screens, the last of which gives narrative comments about the
inventory, if such comments were submitted by the agency. Figure 5 shows an
example of the first data screen in the sequence for the Santa Barbara County
(California) Air Pollution Control District. You can move from one screen to the
next by striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Report 20 menu from any

POLLUTANT REPORTS
Pollutant-specific information submitted to the data base by State and local
agencies (except bibliographic citations and ongoing research) is available using
reports in the POLLUTANT INFORMATION category. Each report in this group retrieves
certain pollutant-specific State and local agency data for pollutants specified by
the user. If you wish to retrieve all available information from State and local
agencies about a specific pollutant, use this group of reports. Available reports
include:
1. Report 10 - Pollutant Names, Synonyms, and CAS Numbers;
2. Report 11 - Acceptable Ambient Concentration Guidelines or Standards
by Pollutant;
3. Report 12 - Pollutant Research Data by Pollutant;
4. Report 13 - Permitting Information by Pollutant;
5. Report 14 - Source Testing Information by Pollutant; and
6. Report 15 - Ambient Monitoring Information by Pollutant.
Selecting A Pollutant
When using this group of report programs you will need to select a specific
pollutant. You may access pollutant-specific information in the data base by
entering either a pollutant name or a CAS number. This choice may prove useful to
you if you only know a name or a CAS number. However, to avoid potential problems
caused by entry errors (misspelling or alternate spelling of the pollutant name or
the use of a synonym not recognized by the data base) the use of a CAS number is
preferable. The computer searches for an exact match between the name you enter
and the pollutant names and synonyms registered in the data base.
Groups of chemicals or pollutants such as "organic compounds" that cannot be
identified more precisely by a CAS number have been assigned unique Clearinghouse
identifiers in place of CAS numbers. Appendix D lists the identifiers for chemical
4-16
-------
groups included in the data base. Clearinghouse identifiers can be used to select
a group of pollutants in the same way a CAS number is used to select a single
pollutant.
When you execute a report program from this group and choose to select a
pollutant by the pollutant name, you will see a prompt:
ENTER POLLUTANT NAME (OR TO EXIT):
• Type in the name of the pollutant in the space provided. If you make an
error in spelling, you can edit your entry by using the direction keys,
the BACKSPACE key, and/or the SPACE bar and typing over the incorrect
characters (see Appendix B for guidance on keyboard functions). Strike
the RETURN key when you are satisfied with your entry.
If the computer finds information in the data base about the pollutant you
selected, a data screen will appear showing the information. If the computer finds
no information in the data base about the pollutant you selected, a message will
appear on the top of your screen which informs you that no record was found. You
may want to execute the search again using an alternate spelling or synonym or the
CAS number.
When you choose to select a pollutant by the CAS number, you will see the
prompt:
ENTER CAS # (OR TO EXIT):
• Type in the CAS number in the space provided, including the dashes (-)
between the three number sets. Strike the RETURN key.
If the computer finds information in the data base about the pollutant you
selected, a data screen will appear showing the information. If the computer finds
no information in the data base about the pollutant you selected, a message will
appear on the top of the screen which informs you that no record was found. You
may want to check the CAS number you entered for accuracy.

Example Reports
Step-by-step instructions are provided for the following reports:
• Report 11 - Acceptable Ambient Concentration Guidelines or Standards
by Pollutant; and
• Report 12 - Pollutant Research Data by Pollutant.
When you are familiar with these report programs you should have no problem
executing the other report programs in this group.
Report 11 - Acceptable Ambient Concentration Guidelines or Standards by
Pollutant
When you select Report 11 either from the POLLUTANT REPORTS menu or directly
from the REPORT SELECTION menu, a menu screen for Report 11 will appear. The menu
gives you three numbered options:
(0) Return to a Main Reports Menu;
(1) Select Pollutant by Name; and
(2) Select Pollutant by CAS Number.
Enter the number which corresponds to the option you wish to select.
If you select Option (1) or Option (2) you will be prompted to enter either a
pollutant name or a CAS number, respectively, as described above (see instructions
under the heading "Selecting A Pollutant"). After you designate a pollutant either
by pollutant name or by CAS number, a screen will appear which repeats the
pollutant name and the CAS number and gives you the option to select either (1)
concentrations, units, and averaging times, or (2) basis, sources, and uncertainty
factors, by entering either a "1" or a "2". This screen also allows you to quit
the session (by entering "QU"), select next pollutant (by entering lrNE") or return
to the parent menu (by striking the RETURN key).
4-18
-------
If you enter "1" to select concentrations, units, and averaging times, a data
screen will appear which again repeats the pollutant name and CAS number and lists
agencies which have established acceptable ambient concentration guidelines or
standards for this pollutant. Information on the screen includes the concentra-
tion, units, and averaging time for each agency on the list and whether or not the
agency has submitted comments on their acceptable ambient concentration guidelines
or standards. If so, the comments may be viewed by going to Report 3 - Acceptable
Ambient Concentration Guidelines or Standards by Agency. Figure 9 shows an example
of this data screen for chromium. The field for concentration is a numeric field
which the data base automatically prefills with 0.0000. Therefore a concentration
of 0.0000 may not necessarily mean 0. It may mean that the concentration was not
submitted or that the concentration is less than 0.0001 (1/10,000). For example, a
concentration of 0.00005 would register in the data base as 0.0000.
If the list continues on to another screen, you can proceed to the next screen
by striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Report 11 menu by entering an
"E".
If you enter "2" from the selection screen to select basis, sources, and
uncertainty factors, a data screen will appear which once more repeats the poll-
utant name and CAS number and provides information on how the agencies established
acceptable ambient concentration guidelines or standards for this pollutant.
Information on the screen includes agencies which have established guidelines or
standards, whether or not the guideline or standard is based on occupational
exposure levels (OELs), and if so, the source of the OEL (ACGIH, OSHA, and/or
NIOSH) and the uncertainty factor used to adjust the OEL. (Uncertainty factors are
numbers used to adjust an occupational exposure level and duration to an ambient
exposure level and duration to reflect protection of sensitive populations, un-
certainty in health effects, etc.) The screen also indicates other possible bases
for establishing a guideline or standard (agency sponsored original research,
adoption of a guideline or standard set by another agency or group, or other) and
whether or not the agency has submitted comments to the data base on their accep-
table ambient concentration guidelines or standards. Comments for a specific
agency can be viewed by going to Report 3 - Acceptable Ambient Concentration
Guidelines or Standards by Agency. Figure 10 shows an example of this data screen
for chromium.

SOURCE REPORTS
Source-specific information submitted to the data base by State and local
agencies (except bibliographic citations and ongoing research) is available using
reports in the SOURCE INFORMATION category. Each report in this group retrieves
certain source-specific State and local agency data for SIC Codes specified by the
user. If you wish to retrieve all available information from State and local
agencies about a certain category of sources, use this group of reports. Available
reports include:
1. Report 16 - Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code Descriptions;
2. Report 17 - Permitting Information by SIC Code; and
3. Report 18 - Source Testing Information by SIC Code.
Selecting a Source Category
When using this group of report programs you will need to designate a category
of sources about which you wish to retrieve information. Source-specific infor-
mation is indexed in the data base by SIC Code. The SIC Code was developed by the
Federal government (U.S. Department of Commerce) for use in the classification of
establishments by type of activity in which they are engaged. The classification
is structured on a hierarchical two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit industry
code basis, according to the level of industry detail. The two-digit number stands
for the major industrial group (e.g., primary metal industries), the three-digit
number for the group (e.g., primary non-ferrous metals), and the four-digit number
for the industry (e.g., primary aluminum). Therefore, a four-digit number defines
a category of sources more narrowly than does a three-digit or a two-digit number.
Appendix E provides a complete list of SIC codes and industry descriptions.
You may access the source-specific information in the data base by entering a
two-digit, three-digit, or a four-digit SIC Code. If you designate a two-digit SIC
Code (e.g, 28), the computer will search for information indexed by that two-digit
number, as well as three-digit and four-digit numbers (e.g., 281 and 2824) in the
same group. If you designate a four-digit SIC Code, the computer will search only
for information indexed by that four-digit number.
4-25
-------
When you execute a report program from this group to select source-specific
information by SIC Code, you will see the prompt:
ENTER 2-, 3-, OR 4-DIGIT SIC CODE (OR TO EXIT):
• In the space provided, type in the SIC Code which best represents the
industry group about which you wish to retrieve information. Consult
Appendix E to determine the appropriate SIC Code. Strike the RETURN key.
If the computer finds information in the data base about the source category
you selected, a data screen will appear showing the information. If the computer
finds no information in the data base about the source category you selected, a
message will appear on the top of your screen which informs you that no record was
found. You may want to execute the search again using the SIC Code of a larger or
similar group of sources.
Example Reports
Step-by-step instructions are provided for the following report:
• Report 18 - Source Testing Information by SIC Code.
When you are familiar with this report program you should have no problem executing
the other report programs in this group.
Report 18 - Source Testing Information by SIC Code
When you select Report 18 either from the SOURCE REPORTS menu or directly from
the REPORT SELECTION menu, a menu screen for Report 18 will appear. The menu gives
you three numbered options:
(0) Return to Main Reports Menu;
(1) View List of Source Tests for a Specific SIC Code; and
(2) View Source Test Information via Access # From (1).
Enter the number which corresponds to the option you wish to select.
4-26
-------
Note that- the access number mentioned in Option (2) is a unique number as-
signed by the data base to each source test. To obtain an access number you must
execute Option (1) to view a list of tested facilities and selected information
about the source tests, including the internally-generated access number. If you
wish to obtain a more complete description of any particular source test, use the
access number and execute Option (2).
If you select Option (1) you will be prompted to enter a two-, three-, or
four-digit SIC Code as described above (see instructions under the heading "Selec-
ting a Source Category"). After you designate an SIC Code, a screen will appear
which repeats the SIC Code and lists agencies which have conducted source tests on
facilities in the SIC category selected. The screen also provides the four-digit
SIC Code of the tested facility, the facility category, whether or not the source
test is notable (not routine), and the access number. Figure 12 shows an example
of this screen from the data base for SIC 4953 (refuse systems).
If the list continues to another screen, you can proceed to the next screen by
striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Report 18 menu by entering an "E".
Remember to make note of access numbers of interest. You need to use the access

You can proceed to a second screen of information if you strike the RETURN key
or you can exit to the Report 18 menu if you enter "E". The second screen of
information lists pollutants measured, CAS numbers, measured emission rates and
units, SCCs, and location of the measurement. Figure 14 shows an example of this
screen from the data base for the same access number (73665). The field for
emission rate is a numeric field which the data base automatically prefills with
0.0000. Therefore an emission rate of 0.0000 may not necessarily mean 0. It may
mean that the rate was not submitted or that the rate is less than 0.0001
(1/10,000). For example, a rate of 0.00005 would register in the data base as
0.0000.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATIONS AND ONGOING RESEARCH
References to published documents and ongoing research and regulatory
development projects in the area of air toxics provided by State and local agen-
cies, EPA, and other Federal and International organizations can be retrieved using
one report:
Report 19 - Bibliographic Citations and Ongoing Research.
The report allows you to search for relevant references using a combination of
search criteria, including pollutant name, CAS number, SIC Code, reference type,
and/or sponsor. You can also retrieve citations and abstracts to a specific
document or project if you know its document number. Step-by-step instructions for
Report 19 follow.
When you select Report 19 either from the BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATIONS AND ONGOING
RESEARCH menu or directly from the REPORT SELECTION menu, a. menu screen for Report
19 will appear. The menu screen gives you the option to select:
(1) Report by Keyword, or
(2) Report by Document Number.
It also allows you to return to the parent menu (by striking the RETURN key), quit
reports and end session (by entering "QU"), or to return to the HOME menu (by
entering HO).
If you select Option (1), a screen will appear which allows you to designate
search criteria. Figure 15 shows this screen on which SIC Code 49 (Electric, Gas,
and Sanitary Services) and reference type SA (Source Assessment) have been entered.
Use the TAB key to move from field to field and enter search criteria accor-
ding to the focus of your search. You can designate either a pollutant name or CAS
number, an SIC Code, a reference type, and a sponsor acronym. If you do not wish
to restrict your search for a particular search criteria, leave the field blank or
enter "ALL". Appendix D lists Clearinghouse identifiers for chemical groups which
can be used in place of CAS numbers. Appendix E provides a complete list of SIC
Codes and industry descriptions.

The system prefills the selection field with "BO", "CI", "OR", or "PA", depending
on whether it finds both bibliographic citations and ongoing research projects,
only bibliographic citations, only research projects, or neither.
If you choose to scroll through the bibliographic citations, the research
projects, or both, on every screen you have the option to continue to the next
screen (by entering "CO"), quit the session (by entering "QU"), return to the HOME
menu (by entering HO), or return to the parent menu (by entering "PA"). Figures 17
and 18 show an example bibliographic citation and abstract from the data base found
using the search criteria designated on the screen in Figure 16. Figure 19 shows
an example ongoing research project description found in the same group. The
bibliographic citation and the ongoing research project description can extend to
more than one screen depending on the number of keywords that reference the
document or project.
You can also retrieve a specific citation/abstract or ongoing research de-
scription if you know the document or project number which references the document
or project in the data base. The document number is usually the number assigned by
the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) if published by NTIS or the
number assigned by the sponsoring agency.
To select by document number, go to Option (2) from the Report 19 menu (Report
by Document Number). After you execute this option, a prompt will appear which
directs you to enter a document number (or strike the RETURN key). To retrieve a
citation/abstract or ongoing research description you must enter the document/
research number exactly as it appears in the data base (including dashes, spaces,
and other characters). For this reason, this option is useful only if you have an
exact reference to a document or research number and wish to view a citation and
abstract or research description for that document or research project.

MPOUT 19. BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION FOR REF: PB80-219421
Abstract: Midwest Research Institute conducted an array of field
tests at the Braintree Municipal Incinerator facility in Braintree,
Massachusetts for the purpose of providing data on multimedia
emissions to help determine adverse environmental impact and pollution
control technology needs. There are two incinerators at the Braintree
facility: both are of the waterwall type and are designed to burn
unprocessed mixed municipal refuse at a rate of 120 tons/day each.
Air pollution control is provided by electrostatic precipitators.
Primary emphasis was placed on evaluating air emissions. Analyses
were carried out for criteria pollutants as well as for potentially
hazardous compounds such as pol/chlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons. The Environmental Protection Agency-designed
Source Assessment Sampling System train was also used as per the
Environmental Protection Agency's Level 1 environmental assessment
protocol. The data obtained were used to evaluate emissions in each
effluent stream on the basis of existing standards or criteria and
also through the use of the Environmental Protection Agency's recently
devised Source Analysis Model (SAM-1A).

RISK ANALYSIS REPORTS
Selected EPA risk analysis results can be retrieved using one report:
Report 21 - Selected EPA Risk Analysis Information.
The report allows you to search for EPA risk data by pollutant, by SIC Code, or by
State.
The EPA performs dispersion modeling of emission sources of air toxics in
support of decisions on the need to regulate these sources under the Clean Air Act
(CAA). A tiered modeling approach is used wherein EPA first makes a rough es-
timation of population risks resulting from ambient air exposure to the pollutants
under evaluation. Following the publication of a regulatory decision (e.g.,
"intent to list" notice), a more thorough examination of specific sources is
conducted in deciding whether to actually list the pollutant and subsequently
propose Federal regulations (e.g., national emissions standard for hazardous air
pollutants (NESHAP)). This includes verification of emissions, plant site, plant
parameters and habitability of the area surrounding high risk facilities.
This report program presents selected EPA risk analysis results. Risk
analysis procedures are performed by EPA for known or suspected carcinogens, as
well as for chemicals not believed to be carcinogenic. This information is
provided in response to requests by State and local agencies for ready access to
EPA risk assessment information. Additional source-specific information may be
found in the public dockets for the individual pollutants.
The quantitative cancer risk estimates are produced by combining the unit
cancer risk factor with estimates of population exposure. The cancer risk results
are presented as the predicted lifetime cancer incidence expressed as cancer cases
per year (annual incidence), and as the lifetime cancer risk for individuals
continuously exposed for 70 years to the highest predicted annual concentrations
(maximum individual risk) expressed as the probability of getting cancer in one's
lifetime.
4-41
-------
There are many sources of uncertainty inherent in risk estimation that impact
the confidence that can be placed upon the estimates. These include uncertainties
resulting from the derivation of the unit cancer risk factor and the assumptions
incorporated into the exposure analysis procedures. Note that the risk estimates
are subject to change as new information is obtained. In general, risk estimates
provide a relative, not absolute, index to the extent of potential risk between
facilities and/or source types. The estimates should be regarded as, at best, a
rough estimate of the actual risk to exposed populations and should not be used
alone as a basis for regulatory decision making. For further information on the
risk estimation procedure or an interpretation of the results contact the Clearing-
house staff at (919) 541-0850, FTS 629-0850. Step-by-step instructions for Report
21 follow.
When you select Report 21 either from the SELECTED EPA RISK ANALYSIS INFORMA-
TION menu or directly from the REPORT SELECTION menu, you will come to the first of
two screens of information about the risk analysis process. Review the information
for an understanding of the derivation and meaning of the risk analysis data and
proceed to the menu screen for Report 21 by striking the RETURN KEY. The menu
screen gives you four numbered options:
(0) Return to Main Reports Menu;
(1) View by Pollutant;
(2) View by SIC Code; and
(3) View by State.
Enter the number which corresponds to the option you wish to select.
If you select Option (1), a prompt will appear which gives you the option to
select a pollutant by pollutant name or by CAS number. The procedure to select a
pollutant is the same as the procedure described above for reports in the POLLUTANT
INFORMATION category. (See instructions under the heading "Selecting a Pollutant"
in the subsection on Pollutant Reports). After you designate a pollutant either by
pollutant name or by CAS number, a data screen will appear which repeats the
pollutant name and CAS number, shows the EPA unit cancer risk factor for the
pollutant, and provides risk data for sources of the selected pollutant for which
EPA has developed pollutant-specific risk estimates. Information on the screen
4-42
-------
includes plant name; SIC Code; city or county and State; total emissions in kg/yr;
o
predicted maximum concentration in ug/m ; maximum individual cancer risk for
individuals continuously exposed for 70 years to the highest predicted annual
concentrations, expressed as the probability of getting cancer in one's lifetime
(maximum individual risk); the predicted lifetime cancer incidence, expressed as
cancer cases per year (annual incidence); date of estimate; and whether or not the
location and/or other input parameters are unverified. Figure 20 shows an example
of this data screen for 1,3-Butadiene.
If the list continues on to another screen, you can proceed to the next screen
by striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Report 21 menu by entering an
"E".
If you select Option (2) from the menu screen to view by SIC Code, you will
retrieve similar risk data sorted by source category. A prompt will appear which
directs you to enter a two-, three-, or four-digit SIC Code. The procedure to
select a source category is the same as the procedure described above for reports
in the SOURCE INFORMATION category. (See instructions under the heading "Selecting
a Source Category" in the subsection on Source Reports). After you designate a
source category by SIC Code, a data screen will appear which reports the SIC Code
and industry category description, and provides risk data for sources in the SIC
classification selected for which EPA has developed pollutant-specific risk es-
timates. Information on the screen includes pollutant, plant name, city or county
and State, total emissions in kg/yr, predicted maximum concentration in ug/m ,
maximum individual risk, annual incidence, date of estimate, and whether or not the
location and/or other input parameters are unverified. Figure 21 shows an example
of this data screen for SIC 283 (Drugs).
Since the space available on the screen for pollutant name is limited to 10
characters, the pollutant name may be truncated. For this reason you have the
option to view the CAS number and full name of any pollutant on the screen. To
execute this option, enter the number to the left of the pollutant in the space
provided and strike the RETURN key. The CAS # and full pollutant name will appear.
On the screen shown in Figure 21, the number "8" was entered at the cursor location
(next to the INDEX prompt) to reveal the CAS number (75-09-2) and full pollutant

If you select Option (3) from the menu screen to view by State, you again will
retrieve similar risk data sorted by State. A prompt will appear which directs you
to enter a two-letter State abbreviation. After you enter a two-letter State
abbreviation, a data screen will appear which repeats the State and provides risk
data for sources located in the State selected for which EPA has developed pollu-
tant-specific risk estimates. The data again include pollutant, plant name, city
or county, SIC Code, total emissions in kg/yr, predicted maximum concentration in
ug/m , maximum individual risk, annual incidence, date of estimate, and whether or
not the location and/or other input parameters are unverified. As before, you have

PERMITTING INFORMATION REPORTS
Selected subsets of State and local agency permitting information can be
retrieved using one report:
Report 22 Permitting Information Report.
This report allows you to search for permitting information using a combina-
tion of search criteria, including CAS number, pollutant name, SIC Code, and year
permit was issued/last amended. You can also retrieve descriptions of specific
permits by entering an access number, as described for Report 18 Source Testing
Information by SIC Code, in the subsection on SOURCE REPORTS.
This report retrieves the same information as does Report 7 Permitting
Information by Agency, Report 13 Permitting Information By Pollutant, and Report 17
Permitting Information By SIC Code, with the exception that Report 7 also displays
whether or not the agency renews permits, and if so, the frequency of renewal.
However, Report 22 is more flexible because you can designate more than one search
criterion. Use this report if the focus of your search involves more than one
search criterion. Step-by-step instructions for Report 22 follow.
When you select Report 22 from the PERMITTING INFORMATION REPORTS menu, a
Search Criteria menu will appear. It allows you to enter an access number or
search criteria. Use the access number to view a detailed permit description for a
specific permit only after you have reviewed permitting information using search
criteria and noted access numbers for permits about which you would like more
information.
To specify search criteria, use the TAB to move the cursor to the search
criterion of choice. If you would like to search by pollutant, enter either a CAS
number or a pollutant name, but not both. You can designate only one pollutant at
a time. Instructions for selecting a pollutant are given in the subsection on
POLLUTANT REPORTS under the heading "Selecting a Pollutant".
4-48
-------
If you would like to search by source category, enter the appropriate SIC Code
in the space provided. For a discussion about SIC Codes, go to the subsection on
SOURCE REPORTS under the heading "Selecting a Source Category." Consult Appendix E
for a complete listing of SIC Codes and industry descriptions.
If you would like to search by the year the permit was issued/last amended,
enter a four-digit year (e.g., 1983). The computer will search the permitting
information files for permits issued or amended during the year you designate or
later.
When you are finished designating search criteria, the menu gives you the
following options:
CO to Continue; and
PA to return to the parent menu.
The selection field is pre-filled with "CO" (to continue) as the default action.
If you wish to continue with the search, you only need to strike the RETURN key.
If you decide to suspend the search you can TAB down to the selection field, enter
"PA" and strike the RETURN key to return to the parent menu.
If you continue, the next screen you see lists the search criteria you desig-
nated, specifies the number of permits which satisfy the search criteria, and gives
you the option to modify the search criteria. Figure 23 shows an example of this
screen with several search criteria designated: arsenic, SIC 2879 (Agricultural
Chemicals, NEC), and 1974. It also shows that 3 permits were found which satisfy
these search criteria. The listed options include:
CO to continue viewing permits;
MO to modify search criteria; and
PA to return to parent menu.
Again the selection field is pre-filled with "CO" (to continue). If you wish to
view the permitting information selected based on the search criteria you des-
ignated, you only need to strike the RETURN key. If, however, the search identi-

fied a large number of permits, you may wish to modify the search criteria. You
can do this by entering MO (to modify the search criteria) and striking the RETURN
key. You can now use the TAB key to move up and down the search criteria fields.
Add, delete (using the SPACE bar), or modify (by overtyping) the search criteria
until you are satisfied. Then you can strike the RETURN key to execute the default
selection of "CO" (to continue). Again, you can alternately TAB to the selection
field and enter "PA" to suspend the search and return to the parent menu.
If you continue, a data screen will appear which displays the search criteria
you designated and provides information on permits which satisfy the search cri-
teria. Information includes the facility category, SIC Code, SCC, pollutant,
agency, year the permit was issued/last amended, emission limits and units, whether
or not permit is notable (not routine), and access number. The exact format of the
information on the screen will depend on the search criteria you designate. For
example, if you designate a pollutant as a search criteria, the pollutant name and
CAS number will appear at the top of the screen and not in the body of the infor-
mation table. However, if you do not designate a pollutant as a search criteria,
the pollutant name and CAS number will necessarily occupy a column in the infor-
mation table. Figure 24 shows an example of this data screen from the data base
for the search criteria designated on the screen in Figure 23.
If the list continues on to another screen, you can proceed to the next screen
by striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Selection Criteria menu by
entering an "E". Remember to make note of access numbers of interest. You can use
the access number to retrieve a more complete description of a specific permit from
the Selection Criteria menu.
If you enter an access number in the appropriate field on the Selection
Criteria menu and strike the RETURN key, a screen will appear which repeats the
access number and provides detailed information about the permit. Information on
the screen includes the agency name, permitting contact and telephone number,
facility category, SIC code, year permit was issued, last year amended, permit ID
number, control equipment, whether or not the permit is notable (not routine), and
narrative comments. Figure 25 shows an example of this screen from the data base,
for access number 73807, a permit issued by the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources, Air Protection Branch.

You can proceed to a second screen of information if you strike the RETURN key
or you can exit to the Search Criteria menu if you enter "E". The second screen of
information lists permitted pollutants, CAS numbers, emission limits and units,
SCCs, and sources of emissions subject to the limit. Figure 26 shows an example of
this screen from the data base for the same access number (73807). Remember that
an emission limit of 0.0000 may not necessarily mean 0. It may mean that the limit
was not submitted (the data base prefills numeric fields with 0.0000) or that the
limit is less than 0.0001 (1/10,000). For example, a limit of 0.00005 would
register in the data base as 0.0000.
If the list continues on to another screen, once again you can proceed to the
next screen by striking the RETURN key or you can exit to the Search Criteria menu
by entering an "E".

APPENDIX A
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
This appendix describes several common problems which you may encounter.
If, after trying the solutions suggested here, a problem persists, contact:
1. EPA User's Support (919) 541-7862 or (800) 334-2405
(If the computer will not accept your password or User ID.)
2. EPA Telecommunications (919) 541-4506 or (800) 334-0741
(If you are unable to connect with the EPA computer or there is
excess noise on the line.)
3. EPA Clearinghouse Staff (919) 541-0850 FTS 629-0850
John Vandenberg, Beth Hassett, or Nancy Riley
(If you see on-screen message such as "Security Violation
Detected" or any problem not specified above.)
LOGGING ON
At times you may encounter difficulties logging onto the computer. Your
computer and software package will have a procedure to move you back to a point at
which you can redial. For example, with the Hays Smart Modem or a Hayes-compatible
smart modem, you can follow these steps:
• Enter "+++".
When you see "OK" appear on the screen,
• Enter "ATHO" and "RETURN".
Now you can redial your TYMNET number.
SCREEN LOCKED
If you can't move your cursor, the screen has become locked. This might occur
as a result of poor communications or because the computer cannot interpret what
you have keyed in. To free the cursor:
A-l
-------
• Enter "CTRL-R" (i.e., hold the "CTRL" key down and type "R").
When the screen is cleared, you can continue.
CURSOR OUTSIDE DEFINED FIELD
If the cursor moves outside of a defined selection field and becomes "locked":
• First press "CTRL-R" (i.e., hold the "CTRL" key down and type "R")
to free the cursor; and
• Use the "TAB" or "REVERSE TAB" key to move the cursor back into an
input field.
Now you can continue.
"GARBAGE" ON SCREEN
If random characters suddenly appear on your screen, it is probably caused by
poor communications. To remove the "garbage" from the screen:
• Enter "CTRL-R" (i.e., hold the "CTRL" key down and type "R") to free
the cursor.
You will now be able to proceed. However, if you are on a screen with a selection
or other input field and there is "garbage" in an input field:
• Use the "TAB" key to move to the Selection prompt.
• Exit from the screen by following instructions of the prompt (you will
need to enter "0" to return to the Report Selection menu, "E" to exit to
a Report menu, "PA" to return to the Parent menu, or some other
character(s) depending where you are in the data base. The prompts will
guide you. After you exit from the screen you can proceed back to the
same screen if you wish to continue.
If the problem persists, you may want to exit from the data base, logoff, and
log back on. Your new connection may be improved.
A-2
-------
BUMPED OUT OF THE DATABASE
If you are viewing data in the NATICH data base and suddenly see the HOME menu
or the REPORT SELECTION menu, you have been bumped out of the data base. This
might occur if you allow more than 10 minutes to elapse without transmitting a
command. This phenomenon is referred to as "time-out" and occurs because there is
a 10-minute limit to periods of inactivity imposed by the library in which the
NATICH data base is housed.
If this occurs, you can simply proceed back to the screen from which you were
bumped if you wish to continue. You can prevent a time-out if you do not allow a
screen to "sit" for more than 10 minutes. If you need to study the data on the
screen or would like a record of the data, you may be able to print the screen to a
file which you can consult later with no time-out limitation, or to print a hard
copy of the screen using a printer. If your computer and terminal emulator
software package support this, they will have procedures to accomplish these
functions. Consult your hardware and software manuals.
DISCONNECTED FROM THE EPA COMPUTER
If you are disconnected from the EPA computer, you will see a message saying
"DISCONNECTED". You can reestablish your connection and return directly to the
screen on the terminal when the disconnection occurred. You do not have to redial
TYMNET and repeat the log on. The steps to proceed to reestablish the connection
will vary depending on your computer and emulator package. Consult your hardware
and software users manuals.
MENU CHOICE DOES NOT WORK
Many of the screens offer menu choices at the bottom of the page. These
choices must be entered into the Selection field. Otherwise, the data base will
display an error message.
A-3

APPENDIX B
KEYBOARD USAGE
The cursor is a small blinking square or underline character (_) that
appears at the spot where you begin typing your response to a menu selection
or entry field. It appears at different locations on different screens,
depending on the format of a particular screen. When you communicate
interactively with the NATICH data base, the movement of the cursor is limited
to specified entry fields. The prompts on the screen guide you with menu se-
lections and labeled fields. You will only need to type a limited number of
keys.
The chart below describes certain keyboard functions important to the
NATICH data base. The exact key you need to press to perform these functions
depends on the keyboard and terminal emulator software you are using.
Commonly used keys are listed. A dash (-) between two keys indicates that you
must press and hold the first key while you press the second key.
