PREFACE
This third volume of the AEROS Manual Series is the cpmbined
result of efforts by EPA personnel and Agency contractors. Major
portions were provided by GCA Corporation, Bedford, Massachusetts,
under Contract No. 68-02-1376, Task Order No. 17 (EPA Project Officer
Jacob G. Summers) and by Booz, Allen, and Hamilton, Inc., Bethesda,
Maryland, under Contract No. 68-02-1005, Task Order No. 7 (EPA Pro-
ject Officer Charles 0. Mann). At the time these contracts were
awarded, a standard format had not been developed. As new data be-
come available, however, supplements to this parent document will
be issued using a more uniform format.
To facilitate the addition of updates, revision.*, o/ additions,
a three-hole-punched format was adopted for the manuaJ i'he document
can be placed in a binder or secured in such a manner that the new
pages can be easily inserted.

ABSTRACT
Volume III of the AEROS manual describes and illustrates the re-
porting and analysis capabilities of the various AEROS systems. The
reports available from each of the major systems are described and
their retrieval options are explained. Sample computer printouts are
used to illustrate the report formats.
This manual also describes the analysis packages available for
use in the evaluation of AEROS data and describes the user access pro-
cedures for obtaining AEROS reports. It describes the standard publi-
cations available from the NADB to provide quarterly or annual infor-
mation on emissions and air quality.
In an applications section, the manual provides specific exam-
ples of applications of AEROS data. The use of AEROS reports in
typical air quality control activities is described.
The manual also gives an overview of the Comprehensive Data
Handling System (CDHS), which is an AEROS-related system for storing
and reporting air quality and emissions data.

AEROS systems:
• Section 2 describes and illustrates the reports available from the major AEROS
systems. The sorting and retrieval options for each are also described.
• Section 3 presents the various data analysis packages available for use with the
AEROS data bases. These packages may be used in evaluating AEROS data and in
utilizing AEROS data in modeling or analysis procedures such as the Implementation
Planning Program.
• Section 4 outlines the user access procedures for obtaining reports described in
this volume. Procedures for both EPA users and non-EPA users are included.
• Section 5 describes the various standard publications produced by EPA. These
publications, which provide quarterly or annual information on emission levels
as well as information on ambient air quality and air quality monitoring pro-
cedures, are based primarily on the AEROS emission system (NEDS) and the air
quality monitoring system (SAROAD).
• Section 6 presents specific examples of the application of certain AEROS data
retrievals and describes the use of AEROS reports in typical air quality control
activities.
• Section 7 describes procedures and the interaction between SDS and programmers,
using AEROS data files and shows the file formats for commonly used files.
• Section 8 describes the procedures used to determine whether data coded con-
fidential are properly classified. Steps required to handle confidentiality
are described.
• Section 9 describes the Comprehensive Data Handling System, which is an AEROS-
related and AEROS-compatible system for monitoring pollutant emissions as well
as air quality measurements. This system is utilized primarily by the states
to aid in meeting their reporting requirements for entering emissions and
monitoring data into the AEROS files.

The National Emissions Data System (NEDS) is a "computer-based emission inven-
tory system for storing and retrieving estimates of emissions of the criteria
pollutants from both point and area sources. The system is capable of pro-
ducing raw data reports and summary reports of the emissions inventory data
in the NEDS files, as well as management reports to aid in maintenance of the
inventory file.
The point and area source data are maintained in a NEDS "master file," which
is updated periodically by adding new sources, changing entries for sources
that have modified their operating characteristics, and flagging sources
that have ceased operation. This updating is accomplished by generating,
from the existing master file, a "new" master file that incorporates the
point and area source updates.
Although the master file is the main storage base for emissions inventory
data, it does not serve as the working storage base for generating NEDS
reports. For this purpose, a NEDS "user file" is generated from the master
file. The user file contains computer-calculated emissions that are derived
according to the calculation procedures described below. This file is
stored in a form that is more easily accessed for report generation, than
is the master file. The NEDS user file is generated from the most current
master file and it then remains available for report generation until the
next master file update. At that time, a new user file is created and the
previous user file is erased. By this procedure, the most current NEDS
data are always maintained in an easy access storage mode for production of
NEDS emissions reports.
Various other files are used by the NEDS system in conjunction with the
master file and user file. Some of these serve as geographic reference files
for providing state, county, and city names used in report headings and
for identifying the states and counties included within each AQCR or EPA
region. Other files are associated with the actual emissions estimates.
The most important of these is the NEDS emission factor file that stores
particulate, SO^, NO , HC, and CO emission factors* for every source classi-
fication code (SCC). The source classification codes identify individual
processes or activities that emit pollutants through a point source (e.g.,
electric generation using a particular size and type of boiler and fuel). The
point source classification codes use four levels of identification. These
levels define general source categories and subcategories within those
general categories. The two most-general categories usually define the
process (e.g., industrial process/chemical mfg) the remaining two subcate-
gories define the fuel or material processed and describe a subprocess or a
qualification of the fuel or process (e.g., paint mfg/pigment kiln).

POINT SOURCE EMISSIONS CALCULATIONS
Emission factors established for each Point Source SCC are stored in the NEDS
emission factor file and are used to derive the NEDS computer calculated emissions
The procedures used in deriving calculated emissions are dependent on the method
by which estimated emissions are determined. The emission estimation methods
recognized by NEDS are:
*
0. No emissions
1. Stack-test results or other emission measurement
2. Material balance using engineering knowledge and expertise of process
3. Emissions calculation using emissions factors
4. Guess
5. Emission calculation using special emission factors that differ from
the SCC listing
6. New source for which building approval has been granted but is not
yet in operation (zero emissions)
7. Source which has ceased to operate (zero emissions)
The procedure for computer calculation of emissions for each of these cases is at
follows :
Methods 0 through 2:
Method 3:
Method 4:
Calculated emissions are made equal to estimated
emissions.
Calculated emissions are derived using operating
data,emission factors and control efficiencies.
If the required factors are not all available, cal-
culated emissions are made equal to zero.
Calculated emissions are derived using operating data,
emission factors and control efficiencies. If the re-
quired factors are not all available, calculated emis-
sions are made equal to estimated emissions.
The standard emission calculation procedure is:
emissions = (operating rate)x(emission factor)x(fuel parameter)x
,.100-control efficiency .
100
where: operating rate is data from NEDS file.
control efficiency is data from NEDS file.
fuel parameter is sulfur or ash content of the fuel (included
where applicable) from the NEDS file.
emission factor is'from the NEDS emission factor file.

AREA SOURCE EMISSIONS CALCULATIONS
Area source emissions are always computer-calculated using emission fac-
tors for each pollutant and multiplying by area source category activity level
and, if appropriate, fuel sulfur and ash content. The standard area source
calculation procedure is the following:
emissions = (activity level)x(emission factor)x(ash or sulfur content)
where: Activity level is the area source activity for an area source emissions
category (ob-traiiaed from the NEDS, file) .
Emission factor is an area source emission factor.
Ash or sulfur content is the fuel composition (where appropriate).
Emissions are calculated by this procedure for each emissions category in
an area source and are then summed to provide total emissions for an area source.
The only exception to the standard area source emission calculation procedure is
the automotive emissions calculation. Automotive emissions (area source) are
calculated by apportioning the estimated vehicle miles traveled (within an area
source) into vehicle categories (light vehicles, heavy gasoline vehicles, and
heavy diesel vehicles) and into road type categories (limited access roads,
suburban roads, rural roads, and urban roads) and then applying appropriate
emission factors to each classification.

general categories:
• Raw Data Reports
• Summary Reports
• Management Reports
Raw data reports list the actual stored data. This includes the follow-
ing information for point sources:
Plant identification
Plant location
Plant operating data
Stack and control equipment data
Emission estimates
Fuel or raw material processing rates
Raw area sources data includes the following:
• Area identification
• Emissions and activity levels of the area source processes
• Total emissions of the five criteria pollutants
Summary reports provide geographic summaries or summaries by SCC of
emissions and fuel use data. The management reports provide information on
the status of the NEDS files.

2.1.1.1 POINT SOURCE REPORT
2.1.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Sources emitting more than a specific amount per year of any one of the
five criteria pollutants (particulates, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydro-
carbons, and carbon monoxide) are classified by EPA as point sources.* The
basic "Point Source Report" produces a full, formatted listing of all rele-
vant identifying and descriptive point source data as well as estimated and
NEDS calculated emissions for each criteria pollutant. More specifically,
the following information is available for each emission point
criteria pollutant:
for each
a. Geographic Location
b . Year of Record
c. Modeling Parameters - UTM coordinates, stack height, diameter, tem-
perature, etc.
d. Emission Data - Throughput rate, estimated emissions, estimation method,
control equipment, control efficiency, etc.
e. Allowable Emissions
f. Compliance Status
g. Operating Information
h. Annual Fuel Consumption
i. Source Operating Characteristics
Each page of computer output contains the data for one process (SCC).
2.1.1.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The following "Point Source Report" retrieval options are available:
a. State
b. AQCR
c. County
d. Plant
e. Point
f. Ownership Code
*The specific amount is an SIP reporting requirement defined in 40 CFR, Section
51.7. NEDS also accepts data based on a state's definition of a point source.
An emission point is a source which is coded on a single NEDS coding form.

i. SCC (I, I+II, I+II+III, I+II+III+IV)
j. Sources emitting more than x tons of any one pollutant
k. Any combinations of the above
There are only certain combinations of the retrieval categories listed above
that are valid. For example, the county code numbers are unique within each
state but not across state boundaries. Thus although no two counties in Alaska
have the same county code number, 0020 is the county code number both for
Abberville County in Alaska and Arkadelphia County in Arkansas. As a result
retrieval by county is only meaningful when combined with retrieval by state.
In the same manner retrieval by plant requires specification of county and
state identifiers; retrieval by point requires specification of plant, county,
and state indentifiers.
It should be noted that the same type of restriction applies to retrieval by
SCC parts. Retrieval by SCC part IV is dependent on retrieval by SCC part
III, retrieval by part III on retrievals by part II, etc.
2.1.1.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
Subject to the same restrictions set forth for "Retrievals Available," the
selected data can be sorted in ascending (a) or descending (d) sequence for
any of the following data values:
a. State (a)
b. AQCR (a)
c. County (a)
d. Plant Number (a)
e. Point Number (a)
f. Source Classification Code (a)
g. Ownership (Federal, local government, utility, or all) (a)
h. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code (a)
i. Emission Estimation Method (a)
j. Plant Names in Alphabetical Order (a)
k. Amount of emissions for any one of the five criteria pollutants (d)
1. Year of Record (a)
m. Control Equipment (a)
n. Control Efficiency (d)
o. Fuel Sulfur Content (d)
p. Fuel Ash Content (d)
q. Major City Code (a)
r. UTM Coordinates (d)
s. Operating Rate (d)

2.1.1.1.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.1.1.a is a sample "Point Source Report" retrieved for Rock County in
the State of Wisconsin.
2.1.1.1.5 COMMENTS
Depending upon the retrieval options selected, some point sources located in
the geographic areas under consideration may be omitted from the report list-
ing and some may be duplicated.
For example, consider a "Point Source Report" based on retrieval by SCG or SIC
category. There may well be some point sources located in the requested geo-
graphic areas or plants which do not fall within the requested SCC or SIC cate-
gories. These point sources will be omitted from the report.
On the other hand, a point source may be included for more than one SCC. When
retrieval is by plant, the data for such a point source will be printed once
for each of its SCC's. When determining total plant emissions from such a
printout, care must be taken to avoid adding duplicate "emissions estimates"
into the total. The calculated emissions should be used to determine total
plant emissions.

2.1.1.2 CONDENSED POINT SOURCE REPORT
2.1.1.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Condensed Point Source Report" is an abbreviated listing for emission
points. To generate this report, a particular pollutant and the minimum value of
emissions of that pollutant must be specified. Emission points emitting more
than that minimum value of the pollutant will be included in the report.
A heading containing the creation date, minimum value, specified pollutant,
and an indication of whether the data are in English or metric units is printed
first. Next is displayed a five-line summary for each SCC per emission point.
The five line summary includes the following information for each SCC per
emission point: geographic location, ownership, year of record, and annual
emissions of each of the five criteria pollutants. Also included are the con-
trol equipment, control efficiency, and estimation method relevant to the spe-
cified pollutant.
2.1.1.2.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The retrievals available for the "Condensed Point Source Report" are
exactly the same as those available for the "Point Source Report."
2.1.1.2.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The sorts available for the "Condensed Point Source Report" are exactly
the same as those available for the "Point Source Report."
2.1.1.2.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.1.1.b is a sample "Condensed Point Source Report." The pol-
lutant specified is hydrocarbons and the minimum value of the pollutant in-
cluded is 50 tons. The retrieval requested is for the State of Rhode Island.

2.1.1.3 AREA SOURCE REPORT
2.1.1.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Area sources are an aggregation of all sources not defined as point sources in
a specific geographic area. Area sources usually include all mobile sources
and any stationary sources too small, difficult, or numerous to classify as
point sources. Area source emissions are assumed to be spread over the entire
area that has been defined as an area source. Activity level data for these
sources are compiled on a countywide basis. The "Area Source Report" is a
formatted listing of the following information for each area source retrieved:
a. Area identification
b. Total emissions estimated from SIP's
c. Activity of stationary sources
d. Activity of solid waste disposal
e. Activity of mobile sources - fuel usage
f. Activity of miscellaneous sources
g. Total calculated emissions
Two area sources are printed per page of computer output.
2.1.1.3.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The "Area Source Report" retrieval options are as follows:
a. State
b. State/County
2.1.1.3.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
Area sources are sorted sequentially within state by county. No other sort
options are available for area sources.
2.1.1.3.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.1.1.C is a sample "Area Source Report" retrieved for the first two
counties of the State of Rhode Island.

2.1.1.4 ALLOWED VERSUS COMPUTED EMISSIONS REPORT
2.1.1.4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
For each pollutant, allowed emissions may be entered into NEDS for a given
emission point. The calculated emissions refer to the emissions associated with
each SCC of that point source. The "Allowed Versus Computed Emissions Report"
was written to permit comparison of coded allowable emissions with total cal-
culated emissions for the emission point.
Each plant requested is represented in the report by one or more pages of
computer output. A heading containing the creation date and identifying geo-
graphic data are printed on the first page. In the pages that follow, the
emission data for each plant are described with the points listed in ascending
numerical order. For each point, the report prints the allowed emissions for
each pollutant (zero values are printed as blanks), the calculated emissions of
each pollutant for each SCC, and the totals of the calculated emissions for each
pollutant.
2.1.1.4.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The data may be retrieved for all or any combination of the five criteria
pollutants. The option available for retrieval includes any combination of the
following keys compatible with the restrictions set forth in the NEDS Point
Source Report:

2.1.2.2 AREA SOURCE FUEL USAGE REPORT
2.1.2.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Area Source Fuel Usage Report" presents a summary by use category of
the amount of fuel used within each county requested. The use categories con-
sidered are residential, commercial-institutional, and industrial. Each use
category is subdivided into fuel types. Residential and commercial-institutional
fuels are divided into the following fuel types: anthracite coal, bituminous
coal, distillate oil, residual oil, natural gas,' and wood. In addition to the
aforementioned fuel types, coke and process gas are also considered under the
heading of industrial fuel.
A total of the entire amount of fuel used is printed for each state, with
subtotals printed for each fuel type.
2.1.2.2.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Retrieval is by state only.
2.1.2.2.3 SAMPLE REPORT
A sample "Area Source Fuel Usage Report" for the State of Rhode Island
is presented in Figure 2.1.2.b. Although all three use categories are present-
ed on a single page in this figure, in the actual computer output each use cat-
egory starts on a new computer page.

2.1.2.3 ANNUAL FUEL SUMMARY REPORT
2.1.2.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Annual Fuel Summary Report" summarizes fuel use by fuel type
for both point and area sources in a specific geographic area. The area
source fuel use data are reported for both stationary and mobile area
sources. Stationary source fuel use is further subdivided into residen-
tial, industrial, and commercial-institutional categories. Mobile source
fuel use is reported for light and heavy highway vehicles.(farm machinery,
construction equipment, etc.) and vessels. The point source fuel use is
broken down according to the kind of equipment in which the fuel is con-
sumed—either external combustion equipment (boilers) , internal combustion
engines, or inprocess fuel use (dryers, furnaces, etc.). External and
internal combustion categories are subdivided into electric utility, in-
dustrial, and commercial-institutional portions. Inprocess fuel use is
all by industrial sources. The fuel types included are anthracite and
bituminous coal, residual and distillate oil, natural gas, wood/bark,
gasoline, diesel fuel, lignite coal, coke, bagasse, industrial process
gas, liquified petroleum gas, jet fuel, solid waste, and liquid waste.
The date of file creation is included at the beginning of each
report. Subtotals are printed for area and point sources, and a grand
total is given for each fuel. Either English or metric units of meas-
urement may be selected.

2.1.2.6 PLANT NAME REPORT
2.1.2.6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Plant Name Report" gives one line of information concerning each
plant requested. Included are plant ID, plant name, plant contact, a count of
points and SCC's, UTM coordinates, and the plant comment field.
2.1.2.6.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The retrievals available for the "Plant Name Report" are the same as those
for the "Point Source Report."
2.1.2.6.2 SORTS AVAILABLE
The same sorts are available for the "Plant Name Report" as for the
"Point Source Report." The printout of the former, however, has a page break
on county so that it is desirable to begin each sort selected with state/county.
The two sorts recommended for use with the "Plant Name Report" are:
State/County/Plant Name/Plant ID/Point ID/SCC
State/County/Plant ID/Point ID/SCC
The first step is an alphabetical ordering by plant name and the second
a numerical ordering by plant ID. If one of the above sorts is not used, the
plant name may appear several times and the SCC count may be incorrect.
2.1.2.6.4 SAMPLE REPORT
A sample "Plant Name Report" for the State of Rhode Island and the County
of Providence is presented in Figure 2.1.2.f—sorted by plant name.

2.1.2.7 EMISSIONS/AIR QUALITY REPORT
2.1.2.7.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Emissions/Air Quality Report" presents AQCR emissions and air quality
data in the same report. The report heading includes the NEDS date of creation,
the AQCR population and land area, and the priority of the AQCR for each of the
five criteria pollutants. The report is then divided into two tables.
First, the total emissions in tons per year are printed for each of the
five criteria pollutants, along with point source and area source emission sub-
totals. Then, in the air quality table, a line is printed giving air quality
data for each of the years requested. These data include the number of stations
used, the time intervals, measured, the maximum value, and the maximum arith-
metic or geometric mean for each of the five criteria pollutants.
2.1.2.7.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Retrievals by AQCR are available for the year span requested.
2.1.2.7.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The output is sorted in the same sequence as requested.
2.1.2.7.4 SAMPLE REPORT
A sample "Emissions/Air Quality Report" for the AQCR, Metropolitan
Providence, is presented in Figure 2.1.2.g.

2.1.3.1 PLANT-POINT-SCC COUNT REPORT
2.1.3.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Plant-Point-SCC Count Report" is available on a nationwide basis only.
For each "state" this report lists the state code, state name, and total number
of plants, plant-points, and plant-point-SCCs. The "states" themselves are
listed in ascending numerical order according to state code number. A grand to-
tal of plants, plant-points, and plant-point-SCCs is printed at the end. A sam-
ple "Plant-Point-SCC Count Report" is presented in Figure 2.1.3.a.

2.1.3.2 MISSING ITEM REPORT ^
2.1.3.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Missing Item Report" is a point source inventory of missing data
items. Seven geographical summarization types are available. They are as
follows:
a. National
b. State
c. State/County
d. AQCR
e. State/AQCR
f. State/County/Plant
g. State/County/Plant/Point
This report presents a count of the missing items according to the
summarization type requested. Any data can be selected to be summarized
based on the point source selection capability. After the data are selected,
they can be summarized using any of the above report types. For example, all
boilers could be selected and summarized by state to determine the number of
boilers and data available for boilers. In addition to totals for the number
of plants, points and SCCs present, totals are printed to indicate the confi-
dentiality status of processes and plants.
Figure 2.1.3.b is a "Missing Item Report" for the State of Massachusetts.

2.1.3.3 HIGHEST PLANT NUMBER BY COUNTY REPORT
2.1.3.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "Highest Plant Number by County Report" gives the number of the last
plant updated in each county and thus the last Included in the NEDS file. The
counties are listed in alphabetical order by state; the states themselves are
listed in ascending order of state code. In each case, the state and county
code numbers are provided in addition to their names. The output from this
report is used to assist in assigning new planf numbers. Figure 2.1.3.C pre-
sents that portion of the "Highest Plant Number by County Report" for the first
seven counties in the State of Alabama.

The SOTDAT System is one of the newer members of AEROS. It was designed
to store and retrieve relevant technical data acquired during the performance
of stack tests or other methods of measuring pollutant emissions from point
sources.
The original purpose of SOTDAT was to provide an automated means of up-
dating and improving emission factors for specific Source Classification Codes
(SCC's) in the NEDS Emission Factor File, and this remains its principal use
although other applications have been added recently.

2.2.1.1 LISTING OF COMPLETE SOTDAT FILE
•
2.2.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The type of information stored in the SOTDAT file and the input form are
shown in Figure 2.2.1.a. The output of this report consists of a full listing
of the SOTDAT Master File. The report can also be produced by using the update
information that is generated each time new data are to be introduced into the
SOTDAT system. Most of the codes used in the SOTDAT input and output procedures
are derived, either directly or with some modification, from the appropriate
NEDS and SAROAD codes as given in Volume V of the AEROS Manual. Some instruc-
tions developed for the SOTDAT system are described in greater detail in
Volume II.
The form of the report may be seen by referring to Figure 2.2.1.b. It
should be noted that it is quite easy to develop program modifications of this
report because a considerable degree of flexibility was built into the system.
Thus, although the example shows a two-page report with a given format, ad-
ditional formats are under development.
2.2.1.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The report is a listing of the entire contents of the file accessed,
whether this be the SOTDAT Master File or the update file. Thus, no options
for retrieval are available.
2.2.1.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
No optional sorts are available to the user.
2.2.1.1.4 SAMPLE REPORT

The Storage and Retrieval of Aerometric Data (SAROAD) System was
one of the two original components of AEROS. The SAROAD system provides
for the storage and retrieval of air quality and meteorological data
and generates air quality data reports in three categories:
1. Raw Data Reports
2. Summary Reports
3. Management Reports
The raw data reports list the actual stored data on pollutant con-
centrations in the ambient atmosphere. They give the geographic location
of the observations, as specified by the Site Code; the times and averag-
ing periods of the data; and the method of data collection and analysis.
The seven raw data reports described below are:
1. Raw data for less than 24 hour averaging periods
2. Raw data for sampling periods equal to or greater than
24 hours
3. Raw data for composite (variable samples)
4. Standards Listing
5. Site Description Inventory
6. Raw data in SAROAD format
7. Meteorological Raw Data Report and Plot
The summary reports give annual and quarterly summaries and frequency
distributions of the air quality data. The five summary reports described
below are:

1. Yearly Frequency Distribution

4. Meteorological and Pollutant Summary Statistics Plot
5. Meteorological and Pollutant Frequency, Percent Frequency,
and Plot Reports
The management reports are designed to provide information on the
status of the data contained in the SAROAD files, as well as on the
activities of the data collection sites. These reports also are to
provide inventories of the data available from the SAROAD system. The
six management reports described herein are:
1. Inventory by Site
2. Inventory by Pollutant
3. Inventory by Pollutant within State
4. Summary Report of Valid Data
5. Summary Report of Monitoring Activity
6. Active Site Report
From the overall system point of view, SAROAD may be thought of as
being divided into two major subsystems: the SAROAD site file with its
associated information, and the SAROAD Data File consisting mainly of
air quality data of several varieties.
The SAROAD site file contains descriptive information on the sampl-
ing site and its environment. This information includes the address of
the site; the type of surveillance carried on at the site, whether

population-oriented, background, compliance investigation, etc; the sta-
tion location category, whether center city, industrial or rural, etc.;
and the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the sampling device. The
DIM coordinates may be given in place of or in addition to the geographic
coordinates. Data for approximately 9,000 sites are stored in the SAROAD
Site File, of which roughly one-half are currently operational sites.
The reasons for storing data from some 5,000 discontinued sites in the
SAROAD files have to do with the need for establishing trends in the am-
bient air quality around the nation and the importance of maintaining as
large a population of data as possible for that purpose. In some cases
the new site is very close to the old site and the record may be considered
to be essentially uninterrupted if other factors, such as type of instru-
mentation, etc., remain unchanged. In addition, the several states have
indicated plans for the installation of some 3,000 new sites, each one
of which will collect data from a number of instruments sampling several
pollutants. This growth is expected over the next few years, so that the
size of the SAROAD Site File may reasonably be expected to increase by
that amount, at least.
The principal uses of the SAROAD Site File at the present time is to
correlate the site location and other identifying characteristics with all
of the air quality (AQ) data associated with that site and to edit incoming
data. All information on individual sites can be retrieved separately, if
desired, on a geographical basis (i.e., by state, AQCR, etc.).
i
ti
Site numbers for new or previously unreported sites are assigned by
the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Before this can be done, however,
all of the identifying characters of the site must be completed on the

SAROAD site form. No data can be included in the SAROAD files for a
site until a site number has been assigned to that site. A complete
directory of all site data for SAROAD monitoring sites is published
annually by NADB (see section 5.2.3, below).
The SAROAD Data Subsystem is made up of ambient air quality (AQ)
information and meteorological data which is submitted by over 4000
active air quality monitoring sites around the country for inclusion in
the SAROAD system. The AQ data are extensively analyzed by statistical
means in order to reduce the large quantity of raw data to useful infor-
mation. The parameter coding system is" arranged so that approximately
72,000 different pollutant codes can be identified. In addition, codes
are assigned for the methods of collection and analysis of each parameter
(pollutant). The sampling intervals employed in the monitoring activi-
ties range from 1-hour averages of continuous monitoring instrument
readings to composite data taken at weekly, monthly, or quarterly inter-
vals or at irregular intervals. For all AQ data, the following informa-
tion is submitted:
1. Site ID
2. Parameters (pollutants sampled), Method, Interval
3. Date of observation
4. Data Values
Some of the reports which are available under the SAROAD system
include certain statistics derived from the AQ data in the file. These
statistics are calculated for all AQ data in the file, but the statistics
are considered valid only when the data meet the NADB criteria for

2.3.1.1 RAW DATA LESS THAN 24 HOURS
2.3.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report lists the hourly observations of pollutant concentrations in 24
columns, 1 line per day, 1 month per page. The report may also be used, with
suitable modifications in format, for data recorded for 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and
12-hour intervals. The heading of the report contains the name of the pollutant;
the pollutant/method code; the units used; the method of collection and analysis;
the name of the state; the area; the site name and address; the complete site,
agency, and project code; the month and year; and an identifier giving the aver-
aging period of the observational data (for example, "1-hour data listing"). To
the left of the 24-column body of the report is a column giving the days of the
month; to the right are columns for the daily mean values and the number of ob-
servations made each day. Below the row for the last day of the month are three
other rows, one for the average values for each hour, one for the numbers of ob-
servations made at each hour throughout the month, and one for the maximum value
occurring at each hour. In the lower righthand corner are the average value for
the entire month, the total number of observations for the month, and the maxi-
mum value that occurred in the month. The report is also capable of creating
3-, 8-, 12-, and 24-hour running averages from 1-hour data.
2.3.1.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The SAROAD System employs a standard selection format for all retrievals
for reports using the "SAROAD Standard Format Selection" procedure. The 1-Hour
Data Listing may be retrieved by the following selection keys:
a. Nationwide g.
b. State h.
c. State/Area i.
d. State/Area/Site j.
e. AQCR k.
f. Year

2.3.1.2 RAW DATA LISTING GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 24 HOURS
2.3.1.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
»
The raw data listing 'for 24 hour data consists of one value of pollutant con-
centration for each day for which valid data exist. The heading information
includes the valid date of the data, the title of the report, the pollutant
name and code number, the units used, and the page number. There are seven
columns in the body of the report; these are, from left to right across the
page, the Site Name and State, the Site Code number, the Agency Type and Pro-
ject Classification Codes, the Year, the Month, the Day, and the tabulated
values of pollutant concentration levels. Each pollutant type starts a new
page of the report. Because this report may be used for data intervals great-
er than 24 hours, there may not be any entries in the body of the report for
certain days. The Sample Reports show this effect, which may also be caused
by missing or invalid data for a 24-hour period of certain days.
2.3.1.2.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
This report uses the SAROAD standard format selection procedure. Thus, re-
trievals may be made on:
a. Geographic keys - nationwide, state, AQCR, area (county or city), or
site.
b. Other keys - pollutant, pollutant/method, pollutant/interval, agency/
project time period specified by start and end year or year/month.
c. Any appropriate combination of these.
2.3.1.2.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
Fourteen sort keys are available for specification by the user. A maximum of
three sorts is possible in any given run. The "standard" sorting option used
by NADB at the present time is a sort by Site Code, then by Pollutant-Method-
Interval-Units, then by Date or Year-Quarter. The various sort options are:
Site Code
Agency/Proj ect
State-Agency-Proj ect

2.3.1.4 STANDARDS REPORTS
2.3.1.4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This series of 12 reports shows, for each pollutant-site combination within the
geographical region specified, the number of occasions within the period of
time specified when the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) were
violated. For those pollutants having both primary and secondary standards, the
numbers of violations are shown separately for each type of standard. The
standard format site description information appears at the top of the sheet
with the designation of pollutant-interval combination above it, along with
the State Code and name and the valid date of the data. Below the site descrip-
tion data, the main body of the report consists of 28 columns of data (for
the monthly reports) or 13 columns of data (for the yearly reports) containing
the individual hourly or daily observations for the pollutant in question.
Every time that the appropriate standard was exceeded, a symbol (* or +) is
placed beside the observation so as to identify the time and date of the vio-
lation. For the monthly reports, the number of observations and the mean value
are tabulated for each day at the right-hand side of the paper; and the
number of observations, maximum value, and arithmetic mean are listed for
each hour of the day at the bottom of each column. For yearly reports the same
data are provided, but on a monthly basis. Below these figures are given the
total number of observations for the month (or year), the percentage of
possible observations, the numbers of times that the respective standards
were exceeded, the arithmetic or geometric mean and standard deviation, as
appropriate, with accompanying statements as to whether the primary and sec-
ondary standards were met or exceeded (for those pollutants having standards
based on those parameters), and, along the bottom of the page, the identifica-
tions by name of the methods of collection and analysis, together with a state-
ment defining the time used (whether standard or daylight saving).
The following reports are available:
a. Particulate (total suspended particulates)
b. Sulfur dioxide, daily values
c. Sulfur dioxide, daily averages of hourly values
d. Sulfur dioxide, 3-hour averages
e. Carbon monoxide, hourly averages
f. Carbon monoxide, 8-hour averages
g. Total oxidants
h. Ozone
i. Nitrogen dioxide, daily values
j. Nitrogen dioxide, hourly values
k. Total hydrocarbons

2.3.1.6 RAW DATA IN SAROAD FORMAT
2.3.1.6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The report creates cards or magnetic tape of the raw data input to the
computer in the same form as prepared for input. Figures 2.3.1.f, 2.3.1.g, and
2.3.1.h show the input data formats used for*the SAROAD programs.
2.3.1.6.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
There are several key items upon which retrieval may be made by using the
SAROAD Standard Format Selection procedure, including: state, area, site, agency
type, AQCR, project classification, pollutant type, method of collection and anal-
ysis, sampling interval, and starting and ending dates. Certain combinations of
selection keys are prohibited. For example, a site key may be entered only if an
area key is also entered, and an area key may be entered only if a state key is
also entered. Similarly, a project classification code may be included only if
an agency type is also specified, and a method of collection and analysis may be
specified only if a pollutant type is also specified. All other combinations may
be considered as valid retrieval requests. The period of interest is specified
by year and month for the starting and ending dates; for example, "7302 7304" or
"6801 7212" would be valid ways of specifying the desired retrieval period. Codes
for the various retrieval items are given in Volume V of the AEROS Manual.
2.3.1.6.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
There are no sort options available.
2.3.1.6.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figures 2.3.1.f through 2.3.1.h give the type and sequencing of data con-
tained in the report. The output is available in the form of punched cards, or
on magentic tape, or both.

standard output of the SEAS system/'1 and include total gross output
for each of 284 economic sectors and subsectors. The SEAS projec-
tions are based on a sophisticated model of the national economy in
which dynamic modeling of the inputs and outputs of each economic
sector with respect to all other sectors is used to project the total
gross output of each sector. These econometric projections for each
sector are modified in the SEAS system to reflect additional factors
which do not influence economic projections for specific industrial
sectors, but which do have a substantial effect on emissions. These
factors include future process changes and materials substitution,
and disaggregation of selected sectors to account for industrial pro-
cesses within one sector which may grow at different rates.
For each region, the relative share of the SEAS national output
forecasts is established using the OBERS economic projections for
AQCRs, which contain regional forecasts of population and employ-
ment, in addition to projections of regional earnings for 28 industrial
sectors. The OBERS projections are reviewed and updated regularly
by the Department of Commerce. The methodology used in preparing
the OBERS projections involves two basic steps. First, the economic
growth of each sector was projected at the national level. Then these
national totals were distributed regionally in accordance with historic
and projected trends in the regional distributions of economic activity,
tempered by available industry- and region-specific growth informa-
tion.
The SEAS and OBERS projections have been supplemented in
REPS by a special analysis of growth and relocation trends for five
industries which are among the heaviest industrial polluters. These
critical industries include electric power generation, steel, chemicals,
pulp manufacturing and petroleum refining. The output of this analysis
is a file of data on new plants expected to become operational in the
future. For each plant, the SCC t Code, the AQCR, the projected
startup year and the plant capacity are given. These data may be in-
put to the program at the user's option.

and emission forecasting model developed by the Office of Re-

2.3.1.7 METEOROLOGICAL RAW DATA REPORT AND PLOT
2.3.1.7.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report creates two unique print formats and a plot of meteorological
data. The first print format lists the site description at the top of the
page, then the parameter-method-unit names, and the raw data values for one
month. Each line contains up to 24 raw data values, the mean, and number of
observations for each day. This line is repeated for each day in the month.
At the bottom of the page, the minimum, maximum, average, and number of
observations are given for each hour of the day for that month.
This second printout repeats the site description at the top and the
parameter-method-unit names and lists the minimum, the hour of the minimum,
the maximum, the hour of the maximum, the mean, and the number of observations
for each day of the month.
The plot of the meteorological data is created on CALCOMP plotter or a
TEXTRONIX terminal. A separate plot is created for each month of data. The
daily minimums, maximums, and means for a specific parameter for each day of
the month are plotted with descriptive information on the site and parameter.
The plot is' a separate report and may be omitted if only the raw data listing
is required.
2.3.1.7.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The meteorological raw data reports and plots may be retrieved by state,
area, site, agency, project, pollutant (only 6XXXX) method units, start and end
date, and any appropriate combination of the above.

2.3.2.1 YEARLY FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
2.3.2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report lists the standard site description and a frequency distribu-
tion by year for the data requested. The number of observations is given for
each year for each pollutant, together with the minimum and maximum observed
values of the pollutant concentration and certain percentile values. Also given
are the sampling method, the sampling interval, and the units used. If the pol-
lutant data meet NADB criteria for a given year, the arithmetic average, geo-
metric mean, and geometric standard deviation are also presented for each such
year.
2.3.2.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVALIABLE
This report may be retrieved using any of the selection criteria available
with the SAROAD Standard Format Selection procedure, including AQCR. Thus,
specific items may be stipulated as bases for retrieval as follows:
a. Geographical basis - nationwide, state, area (county or city), site,
and AQCR. See paragraph 2.3.1.6.2 for restrictions on possible com-
binations of these selection factors.
b. Other basis - agency type, project classification, pollutant type,
method of collection and analysis, sampling interval, units, and the
desired time span specified by starting and ending dates. See para-
graph 2.3.1.6.2 for restrictions on possible combinations of these
selection parameters. "Method" may be used as a selection criterion
only if "pollutant" is also so used.
2.3.2.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
Fourteen sort keys are available for specification by the user. A maxi-
mum of three sorts is possible in any given run. The "standard" sorting option
used by NADB at the present time is a sort by Site Code, then by Pollutant-Me-
thod- Interval-Units, then by Date or Year-Quarter. The various sort options
are:

2.3.2.2 QUARTERLY FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
2.3.3.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In this report, the standard site description appears at the top of each
page (one or nore pages per sampling site), followed by the same types of in-
formation as found in the yearly frequency distribution report (see 2.3.2.1.1
above).
Two versiions of this report are available. In the first, the same type
of columnar display is available as for the "Yearly Frequency Distribution"
report (see 2.3.2.1.1) giving both the maximum observation and percentile
values. In the second report type, the 99 percentile point is omitted and in-
stead the second highest observation is printed. Thus the last two columns of
this form are headed "2ND MAX" and "1ST MAX" rather than "99" (percentile) and
"MAX OBS." The individual lines of the report are for each pollutant-quarter
instead of each pollutant-year. The Sample Reports make this clear (see Figure
2.3.2.c).
2.3.2.2.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Because this report also uses the SAROAD Standard Format Selection pro-
cedure, the same retrievals are available as enumerated in 2.3.3.1.2.
2.3.2.2.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The same sorts are available for this report as are shown in paragraph
2.3.2.1.3, above.
2.3.2.2.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figures 2.3.2.b and 2.3.2.C show samples of each report type. In the
second example, the columns "2ND MAX" and "1ST MAX" contain the second highest
and highest values, respectively.

2.3.2.3 YEARLY REPORT BY QUARTER ^
2.3.2.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
As with the Frequency Distribution Reports, this report lists the stan-
dard site description at the top of the page (see 2.3.2.1 for details of the
page layout). In this report, however, the arrangement is somewhat different
in that the individual data lines relate to specific year-pollutant-interval
combinations and the righthand side of the page is devoted to a quarter-by-
quarter breakdown of the number of observations and the arithmetic average
for each quarter meeting the NADB criteria. The five columns in the middle
of the page (between the pollutant-related information and the data for the
individual quarters) contain, for each year-pollutant-interval combination,
the percentage of possible observations, the arithmetic average and standard
deviation, and the extreme (minimum and maximum) observations. If the data
for an entire year fail to meet the NADB criteria, no data at all appear for
that particular year-pollutant-interval combination.
2.3.2.3.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
This report also uses the SAROAD Standard Format Selection procedure;
therefore, the comments given in paragraph 2.3.2.1.2 apply.
2.3.2.3.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
See paragraph 2.3.3.1.3.
2.3.2.3.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.3.2.d shows a sample "Yearly Report by'Quarters" for partic-
ulate, soiling index, and sulfur dioxide measured at a sampling site in
Providence, Rhode Island.

2.3.2.4
METEOROLOGICAL AND POLLUTANT SUMMARY STATISTICS PLOT
2.3.2.4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report creates a plot on a CALCOMP plotter or a TEXTRONIX
terminal of one of four different combinations of averages of quarterly
means for up to 50 sites. The four different combinations are: (1) one
meteorological parameter summarized over a specified time period, (2) one
meteorological parameter and one pollutant summarized over a time period,
(3) two meteorological parameters summarized over a time period, and
(4) two meteorological parameters and one pollutant summarized over a time
period.
The plot format has a title (a.t the top) that is supplied by the
requestor. Under this title is a list of the sites used in the averages
with space for a maximum of 12 sites. Under the site ID's is the list
of pollutant-method-interval-units for the selected pollutants and/or
parameters that are plotted.
The plot of the parameters and/or pollutant is given next with all
parameters plotted on one axis system. The X-axis is utilized for the
time scale and the Y-axis is utilized for the parameter or pollutant scale.
The minimum scale value and the delta value may be supplied for each
parameter or pollutant, or they will be calculated by the plot program.
2.3.2.4.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The summary statistic plots are generated for any of the four
combinations of parameters and/or pollutants as given above. The selection
criteria required includes the specific parameters and/or pollutants, the

2.3.2.5 METEOROLOGICAL AND POLLUTANT FREQUENCY, PERCENT FREQUENCY,
AND PLOT REPORTS
2.3.2.5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Thi; report creates two unique printouts and a plot on a CALCOMP
plotter or TEXTRONIX terminal of two meteorological parameters or a
meteorological parameter and a pollutant. The outputs give the frequency
of occurrence and percentage frequency of occurrence between a dependent
variable and an independent variable. The frequency of occurrence and
percentage frequency of occurrence are given for value categories for the
dependent and independent variables. Default value categories are
included in the program for wind speed, wind direction, dry-bulb
temperature, wet-bulb temperature, relative humidity, visibility, and
precipitation; and the user must specify the minimum value, increment
value, and the number of increments (up to 10) to create the value
categories for all other parameters. Any parameter except wind direction
may be tlie dependent variable, and any parameter may be the independent
variable.
The program retrieves the specific dependent and independent variables
for the site specified for a time period of one month to one year. The
dependent and independent variables are sorted by site/month/day and a
frequency of occurrence is tabulated for the various value categories. The
'percentage frequency of occurrence is computed after the frequency of occurrence
has been completed.
The program will print the frequency of occurrence and the percentage
frequency of occurrence of the dependent and independent variables and create
an optional plot of the percentage frequency of occurrence.

A separate page of printout is created for the frequency and percentage
frequency reports. The report title is given at the top of the page
with the time span covered. Below the time span, a complete site
description is printed for the specific site. Below the site description
the value categories for the dependent variable are given on the first
line and the value categories for the independent are given in the column
on the left. The remainder of the report varies with the number of
occurrence in each value category given on the frequency report and percentage
frequency occurrence in each value category on the percent report. The
last column and line give the total number or percent in each value category.
The plot will create a single plot of the total percentage frequency of
occurrence of the dependent variable versus the independent variable and
optional plots of any value categories of the dependent variable as specified
by the requestor. The plot gives the site ID, location, time period,
sampling interval, the name of the dependent variable, and value category
at the top. The actual plot gives the value categories of the independent
variable as the scale of the X-axis and the percentage frequency of occur-
rence as the Y-axis.
2.3.2.5.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The user must specify the complete site ID; the dependent and independent
variables; the year, month, or quarter; the sampling interval; the reports
desired (printout and/or plot); the number of the value categories for the plot;
and the minimum value, the increment value, and the number of increments
(maximum of 10) to create value categories for parameters that have no default
categories.

2.3.3.1 INVENTORY BY SITE
2.3.3.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report lists, for each state specified, 11 columns of information
with one line of data for each unique combination of the following data elements:
a. Site Code (9-digit nemeric) f.
b. Agency/Project Codes (1 alpha, g.
2 numeric) h.
c. Location Name (alpha) i.
d. Pollutant Name (alpha) j.
e. Pollutant/Method Codes (7 di- k.
git numeric combined code)
Interval Code (1 numeric)
Units Code (2-digit numeric)
Year (4-digit number)
Number of Observations (numeric)
Maximum Observations (numeric)
Arithmetic Mean (numeric)
Meanings of all of the above codes are given in Volume V of the AEROS
manual.
The data parameters that establish or specify a lin,e of printout constitute
the first eight columns of the report page, or items a through h in the above e-
numeration of the data elements. The arithmetic mean is given for all data with
an asterisk marking the values that were obtained from data not meeting minimum
summary criteria (see Section 2.3.0).
2.3.3.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Selections are limited to nationwide, EPA region, or state geographical
parameters.
2.3.3.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The data are sorted by Site ID, then by pollutant type within Site. No
sort options are available for this report.
2.3.3.1.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.3.3.a shows a portion or a retrieval for the State of Rhode Island.
2.3.3.1.5 REMARKS
The Inventory by Site lists for each site the number of years for which data
are available for each pollutant. For each year, the number or observations and
the maximum observed value are printed out. Because this report is sorted by
pollutant within Site ID Number, it is most useful when information on a particu-
lar site or sites is desired.

2.3.3.2 INVENTORY BY POLLUTANT
2.3.3.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION .
The format of the output is, in part, identical to that of the Inventory
by Site Report as described in paragraph 2.3.3.1.1. Both reports contain a to-
tal of 11 columns of data and the six righthand columns contain the same types
of information; that is, Interval Code, Units Code, Year, Number of Observa-
tions, the Maximum Observation, and the Arithmetic Mean. The lefthand side
of the report essentially reverses the order of presentation of the data, be-
cause this report is by pollutant rather than by site. Thus, the valid date of
the information still appears in the upper lefthand corner of the page, but the
heading reads "Inventory by Pollutant" rather than "Inventory by Site," and the
next line contains the name of the pollutant instead of the name of the state.
(See the following report writeup for an exception to this.) In both reports,
the page number appears in the upper righthand corner. In this report, the
five lefthand columns contain, respectively, the Pollutant/Method Code, the
Pollutant Name, the Site Code, the Agency/Project Code, and the Location Name.
2.3.3.2.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Selection by nation, EPA region, state, and by pollutant is possible.
No other sort
2.3.3.2.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The data are sorted by pollutant, then by state and area.
options are available.
2.3.3.2.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.3.3.b shows a portion of the inventory report for particulate
measurements in Chicago, Illinois.
2.3.3.2.5 REMARKS
The Inventory by Pollutant lists, for each pollutant-method combination,
the number of years for which data are available for each sampling site. For each
year, the number of observations and the maximum value observed are printed out.
Because this report is sorted by site ID code within pollutant type, it is most
useful when information on a particular pollutant or pollutant-method combination
is desired.

2.3.3.3 STATE INVENTORY BY POLLUTANT
2.3.3.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report is identical to that last described (see 2.3.3.2) except that
it is for a single state. Accordingly, the title line reflects this difference
and the name of the state appears in the heading; otherwise the same format is
used as for the Inventory by Pollutant Report.
2.3.3.3.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Same as for the Inventory by Pollutant Report (see 2.3.3.2.2).
2.3.3.3.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The data are sorted by state, then by pollutant area. No other sort
options are available.
2.3.3.3.4 SAMPLE REPORT

measured in Chicago, Illinois.
2.3.3.3.5 REMARKS
The content and format of this report are identical to those for the
preceding report except that the data are for a single state only. Therefore,
this report is of greatest value when information on a certain pollutant of
pollutants- is desired for a single state.

2.3.3.4 SUMMARY REPORT OF VALID DATA
2.3.3.4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report uses information in the Quarterly Summary File to produce a
tabulation by State, AQCR, and Area (County or City) of coded information, one
line for each Site-Pollutant combination, indicating the quantity of data re-
ported for particulates, sulfur dioxide, NO , CO, HC, OX, and TOX. The time
period of interest, which is specified by tne user, can be from 1 to 5 years.
For each quarter or the year or years for which data were requested, a column
of coded data appears. The codes, together with their meanings, are as follows:
a
a. "0" means "No Data"
b. "1" means "Data do not meet Summary Criteria"
c. "2" means "Data do meet Summary Criteria"
The "SITE" and "POLLUTANT" columns contain codes for Agency Type and
Project Classification (under "SITE") and for Method of Collection and Analysis
and Time Interval (or Period of Observation) (under "POLLUTANT"). The meanings
for these codes are given in Volume V of the AEROS Manual.
2.3.3.4.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Retrieval may be by the entire nation, for a single state, or by area
(that is, city or county), site, agency, or project classification, or any
combination of these. If no particular item is specified in one or more of the
selection fields, all of the possible items in that field or fields will be
retrieved.
2.3.3.4.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The standard sorting hierarchy is by state, AQCR, area, site number, agency
type, project classification code, pollutant type, method code, and time interval,
all in ascending numerical or alphabetical order. No options for alternative
sorting sequences are available to the user.
2.3.3.4.4 SAMPLE REPORT

2.3.3.5 SUMMARY OF MONITORING ACTIVITY
2.3.3.5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report uses information in the Quarterly Summary File to produce a
tabulation by state and AQCR for the selected pollutants of the numbers of sites
meeting the summary criteria for the quarter selected for study. (The minimum
summary criteria are defined in Section 2.3.0.) The result in a nationwide re-
port sorted by AQCR within states for all 55 "states'.1 Each state has its own
page in the report, with each AQCR within the state occupying one line of data.
There is also a "Total" line at the bottom of each page, but no grand total; that
is, only the totals for each state are given.
For each of the pollutant-sampling period combinations, three columns of
data are given; these columns are headed "REQ1,1 "PRO," and "RPT," meaning, re-
spectively, "Required by EPA," "Proposed in the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
for 1974," and "Reporting to the National Aerometric Data Bank - Based on Quar-
ter X of 197X Data." In the example, the seven possible pollutant-averaging
period combinations are:
a. "TSP" (Total Suspended Particulates) e. "N02-HOURLY"
b. "S02-DAILY" f. "CO-HOURLY"
c. "S02-HOURLY" g. "OX-HOURLY"
d. "N02-DAILY"
2.3.3.5.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The report is available only on a nationwide basis at present. The time
period is specified by Year and Quarter; for example, 7301, 7404, etc. The data
satisfying the summary criteria :are tallied by monitoring site for a single quar-
ter of the given calendar year. If data for more than one quarter are needed, a
separate run must be made for each quarter.
2.3.3.5.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
As stated in paragraph 2.3.3.5.1, the report is sorted by state and AQCR.
This is accomplished under program control, and no other sorts may be specified
by the user. "•

2.3.3.6 ACTIVE SITE REPORT
2.3.3.6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION-
This report consists of a sorted inventory of sites that have reported
SAROAD data during a specified time interval. The report is made up of a series
of subreports, one for each site, each of which contains a description of the
site and summaries of the pollutants measured, methods used, time intervals,
units, and numbers of observations reported. Because both retrieval and sorting
are under the control of the user, the entries for each site may be different
in content and arrangement, although provision may be made for only one type
of sorting hierarchy in a single run.
2.3.3.6.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
There are 10 key items upon which retrieval may be made in this report.
These retrieval items are: state, area, site, agency type, project classification,
pollutant type, method of collection and analysis, sampling interval, AQCR, and
starting and ending dates. Certain combinations of selection keys are prohibi-
ted. For example, a site key may be entered only if an area key is also entered,
and an area key may be entered only if a state key is also entered. Similarly,
a project classification code may be included only if an agency type is also
specified, and a method of collection and analysis may be specified only if a
pollutant type is also specified. All other combinations may be considered as
valid retrievals. The period of interest is specified by year and quarter for
the starting and ending dates; for example, "7302 7304" or "6801 7204" would be •
valid ways of specifying the desired retrieval period. Codes for the various
retrieval items are given in Volume V of the AEUOS Manual.
2.3.3.6.3 -SORTS AVAILABLE
The selected sites may be sorted in a variety of ways before the report •
is printed out. The six possible codes available for use are:
a. Ascending key STATE
b. Ascending key AREA
c. Ascending key SITE
d. Ascending key AGENCY
e. Ascending key PROJECT
f. Ascending key AQCR

The sort codes may be entered in any order, and the order determines the
sorting hierarchy; that is, the first code entered will determine the primary
sort, the second one will determine the secondary sort, and so on. There are
only two restrictions on the use of the sort codes: at least one sort code
must be specified, and each sort code may appear only once for a given run.

Because of the importance in many fields of activity of the air quality data
in the SAROAD system, information is required on the quality of those data.
QAMIS is an interim system designed to evaluate the existing networks of
ambient air quality monitoring sites as the present efforts toward quality
control are actually being carried out. The initial purpose was to ascertain
the quality control activities of the various agencies that collect ambient
air quality data, analyze the data collected, convert the data to SAROAD
format, and submit the data to NADB for entry into the SAROAD system. As it
is presently organized, the QAMIS system provides NADB with the ability to
analyze and summarize quality assurance information and relate it to specific
categories of data within the SAROAD system, such as sites, agencies, methods
of collection and analysis, etc. QAMIS data collected in early 1974 for only
a portion of the agencies, labs, sites, and pollutants in SAROAD.. There
are no current plans to update the QAMIS files.
The QAMIS data file is organized into agency, laboratory, and site information.
The two basic types of reports are the Data Reports and the QCI (Quality
Control Index) Reports. The data report includes the QCI data for each
agency, laboratory or site. The QCI report contains agency, laboratory, or
site ID number and address as well as the QCI scoring report. Each of the 17
reports available through the QAMIS system consists of responses to a set
of from 8 to 18 questions, some of which are divided into two or three sub-
parts. Thus, a questionnaire may comprise as many as 23 technical and manage-
ment questions. The Data Reports include printouts of both the questions and
the answers.
The QCI data consist of a numerical score and a letter grade assigned to the
answers furnished by the respondee to the questionnaires. A scoring and
weighing system is used by NADB to arrive at a quantitative evaluation or
indication of the quality of the data produced by k given agency, site, or
laboratory. The goal is to have as objective a method as possible for grading
the monitoring activities of each agency.
A numerical score ranging in value from 0 to 100 is assigned to each
response to a questionnaire, and weighing factors between 1 and 4 are pre-
assigned to each of the questions. The scoring values are also predeter-
mined, and vary depending upon the particular questionnaire being graded.
The standard arrangement for the assignment of letter grades to the results
of the questionnaires is as follows: „ >
A
B
C
D
85 and above
70-84
60-69
50-59

For laboratory-dependent method codes, a pollutant/laboratory score ratio is
also included for greater sophistication in grading the questionnaire responses.
The standard ratio (if no other values are assigned) is 50/50; like the weighing
factors and the grade scales (letter grade breakpoints), the pollutant/
laboratory score ratios may be changed as desired. Regular procedures exist
for this purpose. Because all eight questionnaires are different from one
another, the scoring tables for each are unique. The Opinion Poll is not
graded; therefore, no scoring table exists for this questionnarie.
In summary, the system includes provisions for changing the QCI's based on
new or revised weighing factors, grading scales, and pollutant/laboratory
score ratios.
A single report may be requested, or multiple requests may be made in a single
run. In addition to the 17 specific reports discussed in more detail in the
following paragraphs, a "Dump" of all data in the QAMIS File may also be re-
quested. For either of these two cases (a Dump or a multiple request) the
primary sort is always by the type of report requests, as follows (this is
the QAMIS "standard sort"):
a. Agency
b. Laboratory
c. Site
d. Pollutant type in order: TSP, S02, NO , CO, and OX
For a multi-state request, the second-order sort is by state in order of their
code numbers (alphabetical order).
There are ,10 optional sorts available for any of the reports in the QAMIS
system.

2.4.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The QAMIS File contains answers to 23 technical and managerial questions
relating to quality control at each data-collection agency. Included are ques-
tions on training, budgeting, personnel, workload, and data transcription pro-
cedures. The two types of reports available are the Agency-Data and Agency-
QCI reports.
«
2.4.1.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The data in these reports may be selected for a single agency, for all
agencies in a state, or for all agencies nationwide.
2.4.1.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The available sorts for this report are:
a. State
b. Agency ID Number
2.4.1.1.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.4.1.a shows a typical Agency Report. This example is the result
of a request for data from all agencies in California. In each report type, the
questionnaire is printed out first, followed by the responses in a definite
format, different for each type of questionnaire. In this case, the five a-
gencies for which responses were on hand were assigned grades ranging from A
to D (scores of 95 and 59, respectively).

2.4.1.5 OPINION SURVEY BY AGENCY
2.4.1.5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This report, which consists of responses to a set of eight questions, is
an opinion poll type of document. Because there are no "right" of "wrong" an-
swers, no QCI data are included. There is no associated quality control index
and, hence, no QCI report.
2.4.1.5.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The opinion survey data may be selected for a single.agency, for all
agencies within a given state, and for all agencies nationwide.
2.4.1.5.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
a. State
b. Agency ID Number
The Opinion Report does not use the QAMIS standard sort because no QCI
information is included in the report and no Report Type number is used.
2.4.1.5.4 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 2.4.1.i shows questions and' answers for a typical opinion survey
report.

The Hazardous and Trace Emissions System (HATREMS) is a computer based emission in-
ventory system currently being developed for storing and retrieving emissions data
from both point and area sources. The system will be closely related to NEDS (see
2.1.0.0) in that it stores similar data and produces a similar set of reports; how-
ever, it will be designed to handle any number of pollutants rather than the 5 cri-
teria pollutants.
Additional information on HATREMS reports will be available when the system develop-
ment is complete.

The SIP system was designed to automate the process of updating and retriev-
ing selected portions of the various State Implementation Plans. At the present
time, only officially approved rules and regulations are entered into the system.
In each case, the full tests of the cules and regulations portions of the re-
spective SIP's are used.
The SIP system yields retrieval of the full texts of the selected portions of
the SIP's of interest. There are more than 180 identifying codes available to use
as retrieval keys. Examples of 'these keys are:
«
a. Source surveillance record keeping
b. Sulfur dioxide control regulations for Kraft pulp mills
The desired subject matter will be retrieved for the state or states spe-
cified in the report request. A special "Type 4" output consists of the number
of regulations that meet the selection criteria. This is useful to the user
before he makes the actual full text retrieval because he can obtain an idea of
the probable volume of output that will be forthcoming.
The terms "segment text" and. "text category" that appear in the following
paragraphs are .defined as follows:
a. Segment text refers, to the actual text of the given SIP or SIP's that
is printed out by the computer as a result of the request specifications.
For most requests, this text will be a "segment" of the Specified Plan
or Plans, rather than the complete Plan.
b. Text category refers to one or more of the 185 requirement codes that
are used to specify the exact type of regulatory test desired. An ex-
ample of a text category is "SO. control regulations for Kraft pulp
mills." The complete list of tnese requirement codes may be found in
Volume V of the AEROS Manual

retrieval of text within
specified document and
segment ID numbers.)
(Same as above.)
SORTS AVAILABLE
Primary key is the State
Code, secondary key is
the Region Code, and
tertiary key is the
Document-Segment ID,
Regulation Status, and

(Same as above.)
(Same as above.)
(Same as above.)
(Same as above.)
The SIP System makes use of certain specialized codes for representing
geographical areas and text categories ("requirements"). These codes are
given in Volume V. The retrievals and sorts for each report type are fixed
by the program and no options are available to the user other than to specify
the number of optional parameters upon which he wishes to base his request.
There are (as of March 1975) 185 EPA Requirement Codes. These form the
basis for selective retrieval of text categories within a given state or states.

The Federal Power Commission (FPC) collects each year a Form 67 from each
of the major power plants in the United States. The data entered in the Form 67
include details of the physical equipment of the plant in question, such as
boilers, stacks, and generators; the types and amounts of fuel burned at each
point within a facility; and the kinds of pollution control equipment installed
for each electric power generating plant in the United States that comes within
the purview of the FPC regulation. Special provisions are made for the inclu-
sion of newly installed boilers or other equipment, and for those retired from
service as well.
An FPC Form 67 consists of 24 pages including the cover sheet, the table
of contents, and general instructions and definitions. In addition to the in-
formation pertaining to the plant equipment and fuel consumption, a consider-
able amount of cost information is also included in the Form 67. The FPC pro-
duces a data tape of each year's data. Each tape (for years 1969-1973) has
been sent to NADB. The tapes have been merged into a single tape. As the data
for later years become available from the FPC, they will also be added to the
EPA tape. A cross-reference table has been set up between the NEDS ID and the
FPC plant ID. This cross-reference table permits the NEDS retrieval codes to
be used. The complete FPC-67 information for all years of record for any given
power plant or group of power plants is always obtained with each retrieval.
Because, for some parts of the Form 67, there may be .several pages of computer
printout for a single page of the Form, a large volume of output may be gener-
ated, especially when data for several plants are requested.

2.7.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sample report (shown in part in Figure 2.7.1.a) reproduces, in computer
printout form, the FPC Forms 67 for the years shown. There is a one-to-one
correspondence between the data entered manually in the forms themselves and
data appearing in the computer print-out, except that the FPC Form is made
out once a year for each year of record, while the EPA's FPC-67 tape contains
the consolidated data for all years in sequence for each plant in the file.
All FPC-67 data are printed for each plant requested, thereby giving approx-
imately 28-30 pages of output per plant.
2.7.1.2 RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Although the data for a given plant will always appear in the same format,
there are 11 retrievals available in the NEDS retrieval system. These are:
a. State
b. State and County
c. State, County, and Plant
d. State, County, Plant", and Point
e. AQCR
f. Entire Nation
g. SCC (Source Classification Code); Parts I, II, III, IV, or any
combination thereof
h. Ownership Code
i. SIC (Standard Industrial Classification)
j. State and SCC (valid combinations only)
k. Fuel Type (e.g., coal, oil, or gas)
Since Plant ID numbers are not unique among states, a request for a plant
alone, without also specifying a state, does not constitute a valid retrieval.
NEDS retrievals use a cross-reference table (See 2.7.0) to match between NEDS
ID and FPC ID numbers.
In addition to the NEDS retrieval, FPC retrievals are possible by FPC company
and plant ID. Each desired FPC Company ID Number/Plant ID Number combination
must be 'specified. ,
2.7.1.3 SORTS AVAILABLE
The report format is fixed, so no optional sorts are available to the user.

The Sample Report (see below) shows selected pages of an FPC Form 67 together
with their corresponding print-outs from the EPA system. As can be seen, the
Parts, Schedules, and Sections correspond to those in the Form 67 itself. The
headings from the Form 67 are used in the computer print-out. The correspond-
ing page numbers from the Form 67 are shown in the print-out, as well.

EPA has developed a computerized methodology whereby fuel consumption by
stationary area sources and all mobile sources can be collected on an annual
basis according to county. The data collected include aircraft activity and
organic solvent use. These data are used as input to several computer programs
that produce NEDS area source cards for updating the NEDS area source data
file. As a result, the NEDS area source update program may be considered a
means by which the data may be presented in printed form. Following are
some examples of the data involved.

The NEDS VERIFICATION FILE represents the major route by which a previously
unrecorded facility is brought to state/region attention to be entered into the
NEDS point source data file. To this end information is gathered from indus-
trial trade journals, government publications, independent outside requests, and
government data bases, and cross-checked against the NEDS point source data
file. Sources not found in NEDS but which seem with high probability to meet
the NEDS criteria for point sources are added to the NEDS VERIFICATION FILE.
In order for a facility to be added to the NEDS VERIFICATION FILE, the follow-
ing information must be available:
1. Name and address of the facility
2. State and county geographical codes
3. SCC code (if at all possible)
Additions may be made.by means of any of these methods:
1. Dodge reports
2. Independent cross-checking studies on an industry-by-industry basis
3. Reports by anyone that a facility that may meet NEBS criteria for
a point sourceeexists but is not yet in NEDS
4. Sources in CDS or HATREMS that should be "registered" in NEDS
5. FPC Form 67
6. Others
Data are not removed from the NEDS VERIFICATION FILE until the responsible
state agency verifies whether the polluting facility should be classified as
a NEDS point source, and if so, until it is entered into the NEDS point
source data file.
All data contained in the NEDS VERIFICATION FILE can be printed in NEDS point
source or condensed point source format. Point source data are printed for the
specified geographical areas according to standard NEDS retrievals. The
format is similar to the NEDS (see 2.1.1.1 and 2.1.1.2) except for the
following:
1. In most cases very little information is available and filled into the
report.
2. The word "UNVERIFIED" is printed at the top of the page on both sides
of the heading.
3. The ownership code is used to represent the source of the unverified
entry as follows:
Dodge - Dodge Reports of New Construction
B contact - Independent Contact or other effort to check industries.

Vehicle registration data are collected annually for each county in the
nation by the R.L. Polk Company. The numbers of registered automobiles are
listed according to model year. The numbers of registered trucks are listed
for five weight classes according to model year. In each case, only the 10
model years proceeding the year under consideration are represented. All of
these data are stored in machine readable format on computer tape.
The Polk vehicle files for 1973 have been purchased by EPA. They will be
used to determine the vehicle "mix" within each county and the input parameter
needed for the NEDS area source update program. Other reports are currently
being developed and will be added in the future.

Included with the AEROS system are various analysis packages for use with
the AEROS data bases. These packages are described in the sections that
follow.
The Source Inventory and Emission Factor Analysis System (SIEFA) is a
computerized system for estimating the precision and the accuracy of NEDS
emissions data. This system estimates precision of a NEDS emission report,
based on the precision of the basic NEDS information. It indicates the
accuracy of the report by providing an accounting of missing emission
estimates. This is an essential tool in establishing the reliability of
a NEDS inventory.
The Weighted Sensitivity Analysis Program (WSAP) is a computerized analysis
designed to estimate the tolerable error for each source category in the
NEDS emission inventory files. WSAP is used chiefly as a managerial tool
to determine how much effort should be expended to improve the emission
inventory for each source category.
The Regional Emissions Projection System (REPS) utilized the existing NEDS
point and area source data together with various future socio-economic growth
factors to estimate air pollutant emissions up to the year 2000. REPS can
also be used as a management tool for evaluating air pollution control
strategies.
The Computer Assisted Area Source Emissions Gridding Procedure (CAASE) is a
computerized gridding procedure designed to aid in the allocation of country-
wide area source emissions into a finer grid system. The output of this
system is suitable for use as data input for area source emissions to
diffusion modeling program.

The SIEFA analysis package was developed to provide estimates of the pre-
cision and accuracy of the NEDS emission data for each source category in a
given geographical area. The NEDS area and point source files, together with
five SIEFA Tables, are used to evaluate the precision and accuracy of the
emissions estimates associated with each point source and area source category.
The SIEFA system can also be used to identify errors in emission estimates
that need to be resolved.
The emission estimating data contained in the NEDS system (see Section 2.1.0)
are the bases for air pollutant emission inventories. Because most of the
contents of these emission inventories are based on the use of estimated
emission factors and estimated control equipment efficiencies, it is essential
that these factors be as reliable as possible. Furthermore, an emission in-
ventory can be most useful only when its accuracy has been established and the
precision of its estimation is known. In order to establish this precision
and accuracy, it is ne.cessary to know the precision of the factors on which
the inventory is based and to analyze the effect of missing data. The SIEFA
tables contain estimates of the precision of these factors and the SIEFA pro-
grams provide the capability for estimating overall emission inventory re-
liability by evaluating the effect of these factors in the overall emission
calculation and by estimating the missing emissions data.
The internal SIEFA tables contain precalculated precisions (expressed as
variances) associated with NEDS emission factors and NEDS data used for
emissions calculations (e.g., control efficiencies, operating rates, or sul-
fur and ash contents). Standard statistical techniques are used in estimat-
ing these variances whenever possible, although some estimates, such as the
precision of sulfur and ash content for various fuels, are based on engineer-
ing judgment and are therefore more general in nature. A major part of the
SIEFA system is devoted to the estimating of the precision associated with
emission inventories of mobile sources (emission factors, deterioration
factors, vehicle mix data, etc.).
In the SIEFA system, "estimated emissions" are those emissions calculated or
estimated by the NEDS procedure and correspond to those emissions in the
various NEDS emission reports. "Approximated emissions" are emissions either
supplied from the field and appearing in the NEDS master file, but not includ-
ed as part of the reported emissions for a source because they are over-
ridden by a computer calculated emission value, or calculated by the SIEFA
program using "typical" values from the tables. For each of the point sources
in which an estimated emission value is missing, the SIEFA system attempts to
"approximate" the emission value in order to provide a guide as to the accuracy
(completeness) of the NEDS data analyzed. This is done by attempting to
find or calculate an "approximate" emission rate for the point source. When
an "approximated" emission value can be determined, it is included in the

fifth column of the report for the relevant category, subtotals, and totals
only, and a count or the point sources so "approximated" is included in the
fourth column of the report. In those cases in which the NEDS file contains
neither an estimated emissions rate nor sufficient information to estimate
emissions by the standard NEDS calculation procedure, SIEFA will attempt to
approximate an emission rate from standard information known about a source
category.
The field-reported estimated emissions values are probably closer approxi-
mations to the true values than are those determined from the "typical" tables
in the SIEFA system. Therefore, in the SIEFA procedure a field-reported
"estimated" emission value is used as an "approximated" value if available;
if not, the "typical" tables are used to approximate the emissions values. An
"approximated" emission value is never analyzed for precision in the SIEFA
system.
For the purpose of understanding the SIEFA reports, the terms "accuracy" and
"precision" need some definition. Accuracy refers to the completeness of an
inventory or to the amount of error that might be introduced by missing emis-
sion esti-mates for individual sources. Accuracy also refers to that error
that might be introduced through biases in the emission factors, thruputs,
control efficiencies, etc. used for estimating emissions. Precision refers to
the amount of variability that may be normally expected about an emission
estimate because of variations in the many factors and quantities that are
involved in the estimation. SIEFA gives an indication of inventory accuracy
by counting NEDS sources that have insufficient information stored to estimate
emissions under the NEDS emission estimating procedures, and approximating
emissions from these sources by substituting standard values for the missing
data. Unfortunately, bias errors are very difficult to quantitatively deter-
mine and' thus are not dealt with in SIEFA. Inventory precision is estimated
in SIEFA by using error propagation relationships to derive the standard de-
viation of the overall emission estimates from the known standard deviations
of the factors used in the emissions calculations.
In the S^EFA report, the standard deviation is used to indicate the degree
of precision of the inventory. This standard deviation is also reported as
a percentage of the emission estimate to provide a dimensionless indication
of the relative magnitudes of the standard deviation with respect to the
estimated value.
Tn certain cases, the SIEFA procedure may result in the inclusion of excess
"approximated emissions" when field-reported emissions are used. The program
does not apportion field-reported emissions among the SCC's for a single point
source that has more than one SCC associated with it. The value reported in
such case;s is duplicated for each SCC. The net overestimation, in most cases,
is rather small.

3.1.1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
f*
The SIEFA report contains the quantity of estimated emissions in the selected
NEDS subfile for the specified point and area source categories, plus cer-
tain major category subtotals and a grand total. Where the appropriate
parameters are available in the NEDS data base or in the SIEFA Tables, the
report also includes the precisions (standard deviations and percent standard
deviations) of the estimated emissions. Well-defined procedures exist
within the SIEFA system for approximating or estimating emissions for cases
where actual measurements are not available. The output (report) is an in-
ventory of all area and point source emissions in the specified geographical-
political subdivision for a single pollutant. Analyses for more than one
pollutant (up to five) may be requested in a single computer run, but
each pollutant is reported separately. Any one of seven types of geographical-
political entities may be selected. Either one of two types of error messages
("detailed" or "short") may also be specified.
3.1.1.3. RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
The selection options for geographical regions are:
a. One county
b. All counties in a state (includes state summary)
c. One state (state summary only)
d. All states (includes national summary)
e. One AQCR (AQCR summary only)
f. National summary (only)
g. Selected set of counties (includes summary)
One and only one geographical area selection must be included in each SIEFA
report request.
3.1.1.3. SORTS AVAILABLE

3.2.0 WSAP
3. 2. 1 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
3.2.1.1 ABSTRACT
The WSAP program analyzes the effects of potential inaccuracies in air
pollution emission inventories. The program determines the percentage of
allowable error (a^) for component elements of the NEDS regional emission
inventory in order to maintain an overall error percentage (0), at a given con-
fidence level, in the total emissions reported by the inventory. The percentage
of allowable error for a given emission source category (ajj) is the normalized
standard deviation of the probability density function associated with emissions
reported for category (k).
The elements of the NEDS inventory for which allowable percentage of
error is specified are any of the emission source categories of the National
Emission Report (NER), a summary format for point and area source NEDS data.
The NER format is essentially a hierarchical structure of emission source cate-
gories at varying levels of aggregation. Thus WSAP may be used to compute
the percentage of allowable error for source categories at any of these levels
of aggregation.
WSAP may be applied to the emission inventory for any geographic region
for which an NER emission summary is available, including the nation, AQCR,
state or county. The WSAP does not estimate actual or existing errors in emis-
sions reported for each source category. This analysis can be made by exam-
ining the raw NEDS data files and estimating the errors due to emission calcula-
tions on an individual point and area source basis.
The WSAP program has two inherent assumptions:
Allowable errors (crjj) calculated for each emission source category
are mutually independent. This assumption is justified because
interdependencies among source category emission errors are con-
sidered minor compared to the numerous other causes of emission
errors.
Source category emission errors are statistically random.

The WSAP system user must supply the overall percentage of error (6)
required for total annual emissions for each of the five criteria pollutants. This
requirement is a function of the acceptable percentage error interval required
for the emission total, and the confidence level associated with that error inter-
val. The program uses standard statistical techniques to compute the o^'s which
are necessary to produce the 6 required for the total. The printed output of the
system provides
N . Annual emissions (tons per year)
Percent allowable error
Amount of allowable error (tons per year)
for each of the five criteria pollutants, at each level of aggregation.
3.2.1.2 ORGANIZATION OF THE NER REPORT FORMAT
The component elements of the NEDS emission inventory for which WSAP
computes allowable error are the emission source categories of the NER Report.
This summary reporting format, an example of which is shown in Figure 3. 2. la,
is hierarchical in nature, consisting of a number of successive levels, each of
which represents an increased degree of aggregation of emission source cate-
gories. This format is the same for all geographic regions. The most disaggre-
gated or elementary level of data of the NER summary is actually an aggregation
of annual emission estimates for a number of point or area sources.
It can be seen from Figure 3. 2. la that the elementary emission data are
aggregated to form subtotals, the subtotals are aggregated to form totals, and so
on, for four and sometimes five successive levels. The aggregation culminates
in the grand total of annual emissions for the region. This structure can be
thought of as tree-like, in that the component source categories which are summed
to a total or subtotal, are equivalent to the branches of a tree. The WSAP pro-
gram computes allowable error for each of these successive levels of aggregation.
3.2.1.3 PROGRAM OUTPUT
The standard printed output of WSAP is a series of 33 tables. The tables
are interrelated according to the hierarchy of the NER format. Each table

corresponds to a different aggregated source category, and contains annual
emissions, percent allowable error and amount of allowable error for each of
the five criteria, pollutants, for all component sources forming the aggregated
source category. The relationship of the output tables is illustrated in
Figure 3. 2. Ib; this relationship is identical to the tree structure of the NER
summary. The numbers in parenthesis in Figure 3. 2. Ib indicate the table num-
ber corresponding to each table title. The table for external fuel combustion,
point sources (labeled "Table 11" in Figure 3. 2. Ib, for example, contains for
each pollutant, the output data for all sources- of the next lower level (electric
generation, industrial fuel, etc.) which are aggregated to form the external
combustion, point source category. A sample output for external fuel combus-
tion is shown in Figure 3. 2. Ic.
Using this technique, Table 3.2. la summarizes the required value of 6
for selected trade-offs between confidence level and accuracy of the emissions
inventory. For example, G must be set at 2. 24 percent to attain 95 percent con-
fidence level for the overall inventory error to be within 10 percent.

3.2.2 ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAM
3. 2. 2. 1 METHODOLOGY
The structure of the NER format for summarizing emissions, as described
previously, is essentially a tree structure consisting of various levels of totals
and subtotals. The WSAP program uses a linear statistical model to represent
the propagation of error in the annual emission levels of NER source categories.
>KThe program computes for each pollutant the percentage of allowable error (a)
in each subtotal component of the NEDS emission inventory, given an overall
percentage of allowable error 0 in the reported emission totals. The resultant
cr's for each subtotal are equal to the 0 required to compute

previous section. The program accesses the appropriate NER emission sum-
mary data from the mass storage file of the computer system to produce percen-
tage of allowable error for each component of the emission inventory.
There are a number of optional inputs to WSAP; these include:
The user may specify the allowable error (cr) at one or more levels
in the NEDS hierarchy. The program will compute the allowable
errors at the remaining levels in the hierarchy.
The user may specify aggregating of any source categories. For
example, consider the internal fuel combustion category (point
sources), Table 11 of Figure 3. 2. Ib. In this category, Electrical
Generation and Industrial Fuel categories may for a given region be
the major sources of particulate emissions from internal fuel com-
bustion. The remaining two categories in this class, Commercial
and Institutional fuel, and Other, may have negligible emissions. The
user may aggregate emissions from the latter sources to form a single
category, and the resulting allowable error will be computed by the
program.
The user may also specify an alternate arrangement of the hierarchical
structure of the NER reports. For example, the fuel combustion sub-
trees of Figure 3. 2. Ib could be restructured by classes of fuels, thus
permitting a direct analysis of fuel combustion emissions by type of
fuel regardless of the activity for which the fuel was consumed.
3.2.2.3 POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
WSAP was developed as a tool to determine accuracy requirements for com-
ponents of an emission inventory. This assists the user in allocating future
resources for maintaining accuracy requirements for his emission inventory.
Specific applications of WSAP include the following:
The output from the program can be used to identify the NEDS emis-
sion source categories which require the most accurate and complete
data, in order for NEDS to maintain an overall level of accuracy in

total emissions reported. It also calculates the accuracy required of
each of th*e sub-categories and elemental categories in order to meet
the desired overall accuracy level. This information may be used
for efficient allocation of resources to maintain a given level of
accuracy for the emission inventory.
The WSAP program may be used in conjunction with the Source Inven-
tory Emission Factor Analysis (SIEFA) to determine whether the
accuracy of a given emission inventory is satisfactory. The SIEFA
program evaluates the existing precision and accuracy of an emission
inventory by analyzing the component point and area source categories.
These outputs may be compared to the accuracy requirements for
source categories given by WSAP to determine whether the overall
accuracy of the reported emission totals is actually within the re-
quired error tolerances.
It can be applied to compute component error requirements for inven-
tories of emissions (or any other kind of data) which exhibit a hierar-
chical (tree-like) structure, similar to the NER summary. An
example of this application is as follows. If weighting factors reflec-
ting of annual emission levels to either ambient air quality, then the
NEDS emission data could be weighted by these factors to produce a
tree structure of air quality data. When applied to these weighted
data, the WSAP program will provide information on the relative
effect of various emission source categories on ambient air quality.

3.3.0 REPS
3. 3. 1 ABSTRACT
The Regional Emission Projection System (REPS) is a comput-
erized air pollution emissions projection model, for use at the AQCR
level to project annual emissions. It combines exogenous national
and regional economic forecasts with point and area source emission
inventories for Air Quality Control Regions (AQCRs) to project air
pollution emissions levels for the five criteria pollutants on an annual
basis, from the present to the year 2000. The projection methodology
involves the following major steps:
Determine regional growth factors for future years which
reflect the expected change (positive or negative) in pollu-
tion-producing activity. Growth factors are determined
from regional economic and demographic forecasts.
Project present regional emission inventories to future
years using these growth factors. The base year emis-
sion inventories are those of the National Emissions Data
System (NEDS).
Adjust the emission projections to include the effects of
present and future control regulations. These include
existing regulations from NEDS, and promulgated Federal
standards (incorporated automatically by REPS) and state
or local regulations (supplied by the user).
These three steps in the projection methodology correspond to the
three basic elements of the REPS system. The general relationship
among these elements and the sources of data used in each element
are illustrated schematically in Figure 3.3. la. As is indicated in the
figure, the REPS system provides options for extensive user input to
override the key parameters which determine tbe" emission forecasts.
REPS can be used to project emissions for any of the 243 Air
Quality Control Regions (AQCRs) and for the nation as a whole.* The
The four AQCRs which include U. S. territories were not con-
sidered because regional economic projections were not avail-
able for them.

base year to which all growth is referenced is selected by the user,
and projections can be made for any year between 1974 and the year
2000. One execution of REPS produces emission projections for a
single AQCR and a single projection year.
The three basic program elements of the REPS system:
Calculation of Growth Factors from Economic and
Demographic Forecasts
Projection of Emission from Base Year Inventories
Application of Emission Controls
are discussed in detail in the following sections. This is followed by
a more complete description of the scope and applicability of the REPS
system, including discussion of:
Outputs of the System
Options for Users to Input Additional Data
Potential Applications
is also given. These six sections provide a brief, but comprehensive,
overview of the REPS system.
3. 3. 1. 1 CALCULATIONS OF GROWTH FACTORS FROM ECONOMIC AND
DEMOGRAPHIC FORECASTS
Regional economic and demographic forecasts are used in REPS
to determine the expected change in the region's pollution producing
activity. The fundamental postulate of this approach is that a change
in pollution-producing activity is proportional to a change in purely
economic and demographic parameters, such as total gross output,
employment or population.
There are two primary sources for the economic and demo-
graphic forecast data used in REPS: EPA developed national economic
growth projections, and Department of Commerce regional activity
projections. National economic growth projections are taken from a

standard output of the SEAS system," and include total gross output
for each of 284 economic sectors and subsectors. The SEAS projec-
tions are based on a sophisticated model of the national economy in
which dynamic modeling of the inputs and outputs of each economic
sector w.-th respect to all other sectors is used to project the total
gross oulput of each sector. These econometric projections for each
sector are modified in the SEAS system to reflect additional factors
which do not influence economic projections for specific industrial
sectors, but which do have a substantial effect on emissions. These
factors include future process changes and materials substitution,
and disaggregation of selected sectors to account for industrial pro-
cesses within one sector which may grow at different rates.
For each region, the relative share of the SEAS national output
forecasts is established using the OBERS economic projections^ for
AQCRs, which contain regional forecasts of population and employ-
ment, in addition to projections of regional earnings for 28'industrial
sectors. The OBERS projections are reviewed and updated regularly
by the Department of Commerce. The methodology used in preparing
the OBERS projections involves two basic steps. First, the economic
growth of each sector was projected at the national level. Then these
national totals were distributed regionally in accordance with historic
and projected trends in the regional distributions of economic activity,
tempered by available industry- and region-specific growth informa-
tion.
The SEAS and OBERS projections have been supplemented in
REPS by a special analysis of growth and relocation trends for five
industries which are among the heaviest industrial polluters. These
critical industries include electric power generation, steel, chemicals,
pulp manufacturing and petroleum refining. The output of this analysis
is a file of data on new plants expected to become operational in the
future. For each plant, the SCC t Code, the AQCR, the projected
startup year and the plant capacity are given. These data may be in-
put to the program at the user's option.

To incorporate the economic and demographic forecast data into
the REPS program, dimensionless growth factors, reflecting the
change in economic and demographic parameters for the projection
year relative to the base year, are computed. By determining the
relationship between SCC processes and the SEAS and OBERS indus-
trial sectors, regional growth factors for each specific SCC process
are calculated in REPS.
3. 3. 1. 2 PROJECTION OF EMISSIONS FROM BASE YEAR INVENTORIES
Regional emissions in the base year, to which the growth factors
described above are .applied, are taken from the point and area source
inventories of the EPA's National Emission Data System (NEDS). The
REPS model uses the following elements of the data contained in the
NEDS point source inventory for each source:
SCC process code
Net annual emissions
Control efficiency
Emissions permitted by existing regulations and compli-
ance to those regulations.
REPS also uses the data in the area source inventory which define the
levels of area source emission-producing activity in the base year.
This activity includes transportation, fuel combustion, evaporation
and miscellaneous area sources. Appropriate growth factors are
applied to the data in order to calculate emissions in the projection
year. The REPS system has the advantage of building emissions pro-
jections on known activity and source data from NEDS. (Clearly, the
accuracy of the projected emissions will depend on the accuracy of
NEDS in the base year, as well as on the accuracy of the SEAS and
OBERS projections. ) New activities and industrial sources entering
the region and not now accounted for in NEDS will appear in the pro-
jections only if entered into REPS via user options.
An alternative to the above approach, which was considered but
not adopted in developing REPS, would be to determine projected

regional economic activity, and then to translate the projected activity
(given in terms of either dollars or physical units) directly to pro-
jected emissions without using a base year emission inventory. Since
regional economic projections usually provide no more than two or
three digit SIC industrial detail (e.g., steel manufacturing), all indus-
trial sectors would have to be disaggregated to the SCC process level
(e.g. , open hearth, BOF, etc. ) to reflect the actual process mix of
the region. This is necessary, of course, because of the wide varia-
tion in emission characteristics for different processes. Even if the
projected regional process mix were determined, national average
emission factors would have to be used to convert the regional eco-
nomic process activity to projected emissions.
The REPS approach, on the other hand, uses the actual process
mix in the base year, as given in the NEDS inventory, to define the
process mix upon which the projections are based, rather than relying
on disaggregating industrial sector data. In addition, the base year
emission data entered in NEDS are provided by the polluting facilities
and are often based on stack tests or local emission factors. To trans-
late ecoiomic data to emissions with comparable accuracy would re-
quire knowledge of these local or plant-specific emission factors.
3. 3. 1. 3 APPLICATION OF EMISSION CONTROLS
The final step of the REPS emission projection methodology is to
adjust the projected emissions to include the effect of emission con-
trols required for each type of source in the projection year. This is
a very important consideration because control regulations may re-
quire a reduction in emissions that more than offsets the projected in-
crease inactivity. Thus net emissions may decrease over time in
spite of expected increases in industrial activity.
The REPS system includes the effect of control regulations in
two ways. First, if any point source has been granted a control vari-
ance which will have expired by the projection year, projected emis-
sions are reduced to the level allowable under those regulations. Data
on current controls are taken from the NEDS point source inventory.
Second, Federal New Source Performance Standards which govern
new and retrofit industrial equipment, are included in the REPS sys-
tem. Standards already promulgated in the Federal Register are in-

eluded, as well as proposed standards which are likely to be promul-
gated in the future may be input at the user's option. The proposed
standards were supplied by the Emission Standards and Engineering
Division of the EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.
The effect of New Source Performance Standards on future emission
is determined in the REPS system by estimating the portion of
projected activity which will involve equipment or facilities governed
by these standards.
The emission control data noted above may be supplemented by
accessing the State Implementation Plan file which is expected to be
an operational element of the Aerometric and Emissions Reporting '
System (AEROS) in the near future. The REPS program is designed
to accept these data as soon as they are available. This file will con-
tain emission control regulations to be implemented as part of state
programs to maintain acceptable ambient air quality. Additional emis-
sion controls required by state or local-regulations may be supplied by
the user. This point is discussed later in the system overview.

3. 3. 2 OUTPUTS OF THE SYSTEM
The output oft.the REPS system is in,two forms. One is the pro-
jected point and area source emission inventory given in the standard
format of the NEDS system. All of the NEDS summary reporting pro-
grams may, therefore, be executed against the projected inventory.
One of these reporting programs is the NE11 program, which aggre-
gates all emissions into the National Emission Report (NER) format.
Also, air quality models which convert annual emission levels, as
given in the emission inventory, directly to ambient air quality, may
be used.
The other principal output of the REPS system is a printed sum-
mary of projection statistics and error messages which occurred dur-
ing execution of the program. This printout is valuable both for inter-
preting the projection results, and interpreting any computer problems
which may have occurred. This summary contains:
Listing of user-supplied override data
Assumptions and defaults exercised
Base year and projected fuel mix
Automobile emission factors for the projection year
Other related projection data developed by the program.
Any errors encountered during program execution are also included in
the output. Standard error messages include:
Coding errors for user-supplied data
Any inability of the program to locate reference data from
mass storage files.
Diagnostic messages explaining the path followed during program exe-
cution to overcome these errors are included in the printout. A
summary printout of the REPS system for a typical projection sce-
nario is given in Figure 3.3. 2a.

3. 3. 3 OPTIONS FOR USERS TO INPUT ADDITIONAL DATA
The REPS system is complete and autonomous to the extent that
the program automatically accesses all the input data described previ-
ously to project a complete emission inventory. However, there is
provision in the system for extensive user input and override capa-
bility. Override data supercedes or replaces those parameters cal-
culated automatically by the system which are used to forecast changes
in pollution-producing activity levels. The general categories of data
which may be overriden include: «
All economic and demographic growth factors (SCC-
specific)
Projected fuel use and fuel mix
Projected transportation activity.
In addition the user may enter pew data into the system which supple-
ments rather than overrides existing data. The user may specify local
emission control regulations which are more stringent than Federal
standards. The user may also input emissions inventory data for new
point sources expected to be operational in the future but which are not
already included in either the base year inventory or in the data on new
facilities for the five critical industries read by the program at the
option of the user.

3. 3. 4 POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
The REPS system is a tool which may be used to support any
program which involves estimating future emission levels. The pri-
mary goal of the REPS system design and development effort was to
achieve maximum flexibility, as exemplified by the comprehensive
capability of the system to accept user supplied data.
In particular the-system may be used for the following applica-
tions:
Projected emissions, aggregated by emission source cate-
gory, may be used to identify the future major pollution
source categories in a region
The projected percent change in emissions from the base
year may be determined for aggregated emission source
categories
Emissions may be projected for alternate regional growth
scenarios to determine the sensitivity of the projections
to estimated growth rates
The projection scenario approach may also be used to
evaluate alternate emission control strategies.
The system is particularly well suited to projecting the effect of alter-
native growth/control scenarios mentioned above because of the ease
in modifying existing data or entering additional data into the model,
and because of the relatively efficient operation of the REPS program
from a computer systems standpoint. The flexibility which is charac-
teristic of the REPS system maximizes its utility for the above appli-
cations and other potential uses.

The CAASE gridding procedure provides an objective method for constructing
the grid system required to allocate countywide area source emissions. It
also provides for the allocation of the emissions and activities associated
with the various area source categories into that grid system. The grid
sizes selected are mainly functions of the population density in a region.
Thus, in an urbanized area with high population density the grids might have,
sides on the order of 1 km in length, while a more-rural area might be
represented by grids with sides of up to 30 km in length.
There are five main functions performed by the CAASE analysis package.
These are:
a.
Abstract population data and convert geographic coordinates from
latitude-longitude to UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
coordinates. •
b. Plot "population circles" on a map of the study area.
c. Draw to scale a complete'map of the entire AQCR portraying the grid
system developed earlier (by manual means).
d. Assign apportioning values (factors) to each grid square.
e. Apportion "fuel" categories (i.e., NEDS activity levels) into each
individual grid square and calculate the emissions of each pollutant
for each grid square. (Actually, the total emissions for the county
are calculated by the same means as are used in the NEDS programs,
then the county totals for the five criteria pollutants are apportion-
ed out to each grid square.)
Examples of the maps provided in items b and c, above, are shown in Figures
3.4.0.a and 3.4.0.b. Figure 3.4.0.C shows the result of the manual step where-
in the population circles are used to develop the grid system for the county
under study. If an entire AQCR is to be investigated,, each county within
it is handled separately.
The CAASE System is not currently operational on the EPA Univac 1110 computer.
The conversion from IBM to Univac will be under the direction of the Source
Rev-^piri.- Analysis Branch of the Monitoring and Data Analysis Division. All
questions should be directed to- Chief, Computation Section, Source Receptor
Analysis Branch. «•
The manual step will be replaced by an automatic gridding procedure during
FY 1976.

As far as the general user is concerned, there are, in addition to the
intermediate outputs generated during the process of developing the final out-
puts, two major and two 'minor reports. These are:
a. Apportioned Fuels Table
b. Tables of Apportioned Emissions of Each Pollutant
c. Contribution of Each Scouce Category to the County Total for Each
Pollutant
d. Data for IPP System (the Air Quality Implementation Planning Program)*
One of the intermediate outputs that can be of value to the general user
is the map of the derived grids for the AQCR. Although not considered to be one
of the final products of the CAASE Analysis Package, the gridded map of the study
area can be helpful in forming a mental image of the relationships among the
various factors such as population density, area source "fuel" categories, and
area source emissions over a county.
Examples of the four final outputs produced by the CAASE System are shown
in Figures 3.4.0.d through 3.4.0.g.
*Under a proposed FY 1976 effort, input data for CDM and ADQM will also be options
of the CAASE user.

3.4.1.1 APPORTIONED FUELS
3.4.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CAASE system was developed for the purpose of allocating in as objective
a manner as possible the area source emissions from an entire county into an
appropriate grid network that reflects, by the various grid sizes used, the
distribution of population throughout the county of interest. Because the
data, once allocated, are to be used in air quality models and also for evalu-
ation of SIP's, the grid sizes should permit sufficient detail in the derived
distribution of emissions to permit the use of such models without engendering
excessive amounts of data through too great a resolution of the data. The
objective of the CAASE method is to improve the representation of the area
source emissions in a given county or AQCR by disaggregating the total emis-
sions for the study area into a more finely meshed network or grid system.
The outputs of the system reflect this objective.
The first of these outputs, the Apportioned Fuels Table, is shown in Figures
3.4.1.a to 3.4.1.e. The Table is in five parts to allow for the inclusion of
all 54 of the so-called "fuel" types (these are actually the area source
categories listed on pages 38 and 90 of the CAASE User's Manual, EPA-450/3-74-
035, January 1974). Because all except 6 of these 54 categories involve some
sort of combustion process, it is quite appropriate to refer to them as
"fuels." Each "fuel" type appears in one of the columns of the table. Because
each page can hold only 45 grid squares, a single county may require several
pages for each of the five tables required to display all of the allocated
"fuels" for the area source categoreis.
Every page contains, in addition to the columnar data that make up the body
of the report, a "header" line at the top of the page giving the name of the
county, the name of the AQCR, and the title of the report; e.g., "Apportioned
Fuels, Table 1, page 1," etc., for each page of each of the five tables. Be-
sides this information, each page also shows, in the first two columns, the
number for each source and a four-letter abbreviation of the county name.
In addition to this information, the first page of the first table contains
five columns of extra identification including the AQCR number, the Political
Jurisdiction, the X- and Y- coordinates to the nearest tenth of a kilometer
of the lower lefthand (southwest) corner of the grid square, and the area of
the grid in square kilometers. The first page of the report lists, for each
of the grids on the page (up to 45 grids), the first six area source catego-
ries and subcategories. The second page, if required, lists the apportioned
"fuels" for the same six categories for the next block of up to 45 grid squares,
and so on until all grids in the county have been accounted for. The next
listing, Table 2, is for the first 45 grids again, for the next 14 area source
categories, one for each of 14 columns across the page, followed by the same
"fuels" for the next set of grid squares, and so on as for Table 1. Table 3

3.4.1.2 APPORTIONED EMISSIONS
3.4.1.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
As with the previous report, there are five tables for each complete set of
54 NEDS area source categories. In this case, however, there are 25 tables
in all since the emissions for each of the five criteria pollutants are de-
scribed separately (i.e., each is identical to that of the Apportioned Fuels
Report (see paragraph 3.4.1.1 for details). Because the formats are exactly
the same, only the first page of the first table for particulates is shown
in the sample report for this paragraph.
3.4.1.2.2 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 3.4.1.f. shows an apportioned emissions table.

a. Suspended Particulates (SP)
b. Sulfur Dioxide (S02)

3.4.1.3 COUNTY TOTALS BY SOURCE CATEGORY FOR EACH POLLUTANT
3.4.1.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In order to show the contribution of each area source emission category
to the total emissions of that pollutant in the county, the county total for
each source category is reported for each pollutant, as shown in the sample re-
port. In the example, "pollutant number 1" is suspended particulates, number
2 is sulfur dioxide, number 3 is nitrogen oxides, number 4 is hydrocarbons, and
number 5 is carbon monoxide. Below each line identifying one of the five pol-
lutants appear the countywide totals of that pollutant that were determined to
come from each of the 54 source categories. There are 10 categories per line,
with the last four appearing in the last line. The categories are read from
left to right, row by row, in sequence as given in the table on page 38 of the
EPA publication referenced in paragraph 3.4.1.1. A copy of that table is shown
in Table 3.4.1.a.

3.4.1.4 IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING PROGRAM (IPfc) FORMATTED OUTPUT
3.4.1.4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
One of the important uses for the CAASE system' is to provide inputs to certain
mathematical or simulation models used extensively within EPA and elsewhere to
develop concepts regarding diffusion processes in urban areas and for other
purposes as well. One of these models, known as IPP, is used to assist the
states in their preparation of State Implementation Plans (SIP's) for the
attaining and maintaining of the national ambient air quality standards. In
IPP, computer simulation is used to select appropriate emission standards,
evaluate the resulting air quality, and determine the costs associated with
the various alternative control strategies. The five major IPP reports are
used by control strategies personnel for_ recommending effective air pollution
control actions.
One of the most important functions performed by IPP is to develop a "contri-
bution file," which is used to estimate the contribution from each source to
each pollutant receptor defined within the region being investigated. As part
of this process, the spatial distribution of the emissions of each pollutant
being evaluated must be determined throughout the region. The contribution
from the area sources within the region is provided by the "IPP-Formatted"
output of the CAASE system. Thus, the content of this output consists of
certain Identifying information plus the total emissions for each grid square
of each of the five pollutants from all source categories.
3.4.1.4.2 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 3.4.1-h. shows a listing of typical IPP formatted output. Because this
output is used in the form of a punched-card deck,' the printed tabulation is
not designed for ease of reading. There are no printed headings and the
numbers are not self-explanatory, for the most part. Therefore, a word of
explanation is in order. The first three digits on the left are the AQCR
number (AQCR #179 is the Parkersburg-Marietta AQCR in Ohio and West Virginia) .
The next four digits, all nines in this case, are reserved. The 13-digit
group contains the coordinates of the grid square, while the next column of
2, 3, or 4 digits gives, the area of each grid square. The function of the
next col .ram ("33" in the example) is not available. The following five
columns contain the totals for each grid square (dfce" line of output per square)
of the emissions from all 54 source categories of the five "criteria" pol-
lutants In order; thus, the first of these columns gives the total for a
given grid square of suspended particulates, while the next column gives
the same information for sulfur dioxide, and so on. The same sequence of
pollutants is used as given in paragraph 3.4.1.2.2, above. The next two

columns give, respectively, the state and county codes (Ohio is State No. 36
and Washington County has SAROAD Area Code 7100). This report is a listing
of the individual card images provided to IPP by CAASE. It is important
to note that all emission rates have been converted from tons/year to tons/
day for the purpose of this report, because those are the units used by the
IPP Model.

As used 1n this Section, "User Access" 1s defined as the set of procedures
that .must be followed by any potential user of AEROS to facilitate the speedy
and efficient fulfillment of his request.
Before a potential user requests Information from AEROS, the standard
computer reports as documented 1n Sections 2.0.0 through 3.5.0 should be
reviewed to see if the specific Information 1s available in any of these
reports. If a specific report or a combination of reports meets the data
requirements, the procedures as documented 1n this Section should be followed.
Even if a specific report does not meet the specific requirements, the
procedures should be followed to determine whether new reports have been
developed, but not documented in Sections 2.0.0 through 3.5.0, or whether
the data are available from other sources.

The procedures to request Information from AEROS vary depending on
whether the data are for states under the jurisdiction of one EPA Regional
Office (Intra-reglonal) or several Regional Offices (Inter-regional).
Table 4.1.1-a gives a 11st of states 1n each Regional Office and should be
utilized to determine if 1t is an 1ntra-reg1onal or Inter-regional request.
For requests for 1ntra-reg1onal data, the correct Regional Office-should
be determined from Table 4.1.1-a and the address or telephone number as given
1n Table 4.1.1-b should be utilized. The specific name of the NEDS or SAROAD
contact 1s not given, but the address and telephone numbers are correct. The
request should be addressed to the attention of the NEDS or SAROAD Contact.
If the request is for a standard report, a letter specifying the report name,
the retrieval options, and the sort options 1s sufficient. If the request 1s
not for a standard report, a telephone call may be necessary to discuss the
specific data needs.
For requests for inter-regional data, the letter or telephone call should
be directed to one of the regional contacts or to:

4.2.2 AEROS TERMINAL SYSTEM (ATS)
4.2.2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Aerometric and Emissions Reporting System (AEROS) has been expanded to
enable users to access the emissions and air quality data files for retrieval via
demand (interactive) terminals. Using this system, the user can interactively
access the data files or can build requests that are then submitted to the oper-
ating system to be run at a later time (batch). The user has the option of re-
questing the output be printed at his low- or medium-speed terminal or requesting
the output be printed at the central computer site and be mailed to him later.
The AEROS terminal system is designed so that users who are not familiar
with computers as well as users who are computer-oriented can access the system
and submit their requests. The system operates in a conversational mode to re-
quest information from the user. A function (subprogram) is specified by the
user, the master program calls the appropriate subprogram, and the subprogram
assumes control.
The two types of subprograms are those that retrieve data immediately and
display them on the low-speed terminal (interactive) and those that ask the user
questions that allow a run to be generated and submitted for later processing
(remote batch). The first time a remote batch function is requested, the master
program asks the user for fixed accounting information such as account code.
This information is then used for all remote batch runs submitted. Other infor-
mation, such as run time, is requested by each individual remote batch function.
When a user has accessed all the desired functions and has returned to the
master program, the END command will take him out of the system. The user is re-
turned to the EXEC 8 operating system in which any software available at this time,
including reentry to the AEROS Terminal System, can be used.
Descriptions of the master program and all available functions follow, and
sample interactive sessions and sample outputs are included. Any questions re-
garding this system, other than instructions on how to use a specific type of
terminal, are to be referred to:

Note: Throughout the manual the selection commands are listed as follows:
'state=??'
's-ite=???'
The number of question marks following the equal sign defines the num-
ber of characters in that code. In the above examples, the state command re-
quires two characters following the equal sign and site requires three. If
the incorrect number of characters is entered, the command is rejected.
4.2.2.1 REQUIRED ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
In order to use the AEROS terminal system, the user must be registered
at the National Computer Center (NCC), Research Triangle Park, N.C. The ac-
counting symbols assigned to the user plus other information necessary to sub-
mit batch jobs will be requested by the terminal system. The information re-
quired is:
i. account number.
ii. project code.
iii. terminal identification code. (This information is used for rout-
ing the printout generated by batch jobs. It can be either the
user's site or the central computer site.)
iv. priority code. (This is one of a system of codes established by
NCC.)
v. run identification code. (This code is composed of an NCC-assigned
bin number and up to four additional characters specified by the
user.)

v1. estimated run time
(The user must furnish an estimate to be entered on
the @RUN card. This estimate and the priority code
are related. Sample estimates for the batch runs are
given 1n the functional sections).
Almost all of the codes require Interaction with the National
Computer Center. If the user has questions relating to these items,
please call User Services, FTS (919) 629-2501.
4.2.2.2 COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTERING ATS
In order to use ATS, the user must know how to dial the computer,
establish contact, and Identify himself to the operating system. The
procedure varies slightly from terminal to terminal so no attempt 1s
made here to Instruct the user on terminal usage. If there is a need
for Instruction 1n this area, please contact User Services, NCC as
listed in section 4.2.2.0 of this manual.
When contact with the UNIVAC 1110 has been established and the
user's terminal Identification has been accepted, the operating system
will print a message Identifying the operating system. At this point
the user must enter an @RUN card to begin his session. Please note
that, because of the ATS design, the user must specify the CARD parameter
on the RUN card if the remote batch portion of the ATS is to be used!
No cards will actually be punched.
A sample RUN card 1s:
@RUN RUN-ID,ACCT-NO,PROJ,TIME.PAGES/CARDS
where:
RUN-ID 1s the users run identifier, which usually consists
of a bin number and four user-assigned characters
to identify the run.
ACCT-NO is the users registered UNIVAC 1110 account number.
PROJ 1s the users registered UNIVAC 1110 project code.
TIME is the estimated SUP time the terminal session will
last (On 9/30/75 NCC had established 15 minutes as
a maximum time limit),
PAGES are the estimated number of pages for the terminal
session. * ""
CARDS are the estimated number of cards to be punched by
the system. This entry should be 999 if the remote
batch portion of ATS is to be used.
Once the user's RUN card has been accepted, the date and time the
user signed on is displayed on the terminal and the user can start
entering instructions. When the user is ready to use the AEROS
Terminal System, the following sequence of instructions is entered.

The user will enter the master program and Interaction with the
system will begin. (All responses entered by the user within ATS must be
in capital letters.) When the user 1s finished with the system, the END
command is entered. Control-is returned to tfie operating system and the
user is free to access any UNIVAC 1110 functions desired, re-enter the
ATS, or sign off the UNIVAC system. To sign off, the user enters PFIN,
waits for the accounting information to print, and then enters @@TERM.
Should the 1110 system go down or should the line drop during an
ATS session, the user has to re-dial the computer and follow regular
sign on procedures to re-enter the system. If the user was building
remote batch jobs at the time computer contact was broken, only the
job being constructed at that time is Tost. This 1s due to the
dynamic submission of batch runs by the ATS at the time the user
requests the run be submitted.
4.2.2.3 ATS MASTER PROGRAM
The ATS master program is designed as a processor. This means
that all the files required for the system are dynamically assigned
by the program. If there are any problems encountered in assigning
a file, a message 1s printed but processing continues. If a file 1s
unavailable, only those functions using that particular file
are not operable. The messages and ttieir meanings are listed below.
1 file name WAITING TO ROLL FILE IN
the file specified has been rolled out by the
1110 Operating System and the terminal system 1s
waiting for the file to be restored to mass storage.
11. file name DESTROYED—CONTINUING
The file specified has been marked as having
' . been destroyed by the 1110 Operating System. The
system will continue but any function using the
specified file will not be operational. Call NCC,
User Services Section.
111. file name DISABLED-CONTINUING . •
The file specified was 1n use when the 1110
system crashed. There is usually no problem with
using the file.

IN EXCLUSIVE USE-CONTINUING
The file specified 1s 1n exclusive use

1s updating the file. The system continues, but
functions requiring the specified file will be
inoperable. A later attempt may provide access
to a function requiring this file.
v. file name FACILITY REJECTED—CONTINUING
The file specified does not exist. It may have been
removed by the 1110 Operating System or may have
been deleted 1n preparation for an update that then
failed. Call NADB, Data Processing Section.
The user is asked if a CRT terminal is being used. A CRT terminal
1s a cathode-ray-type terminal such as a UNISCOPE 100 or a HAZELTINE
2000. "The Interactive functions are designed to utilize either a 120-
character print line or a 72-character print line. If you answer YES
to the CRT question, a 72-character line is used. If answer is NO, a 120-
character line 1s used.
Next, the user is asked whether instructions are needed for using the
system. If YES 1s entered, a brief discussion of the system and
the function 11st are provided. Each function entered then prints
a brief description of itself thereafter. If NO is entered, 1t 1s
assumed that the user 1s familiar with the system and less Instructional
Information is displayed. If the user enters NO and then decides he
needs a list of the functions, he can enter HELP after the FUNCTION?
prompt.
When the FUNCTION? prompt is printed, the user is free to enter
any valid ATS function. If an invalid entry is encountered, a message
is printed and the FUNCTION? prompt is printed again. If the user
has finished using ATS, he enters END- after the FUNCTION? prompt and
control is returned to the UNIVAC 11,10 operating system.
If an interactive function is specified, control is immediately
passed to the appropriate subprogram. Interaction between the user
and the data files via commands given to the subprogram continues
until the END command is entered. The subprogram then returns control to
the master program and a new function is requested.
If. a remote batch function is requested, the master program first
checks to see if this is the first remote function requested during
the current terminal session.

If this 1s not the first batch function requested, control is
passed to the appropriate subprogram. The subprogram Interacts with
the user to construct remote batch runs. When the final END command
for the subprogram is encountered, a summary of the job constructed
is printed for user review. The user has the option of submitting
or cancelling the constructed run. If the run is submitted, the
subprogram dynamically submits the run to the UNIVAC 1110 system.
The job enters the job queue at this point and Is eligible for
execution. (As jobs are submitted to the UNIVAC operating system,
a messiage 1s returned indicating the run identifier and whether the
run wets accepted or not). After the job 1s submitted or cancelled,
control is returned to the master program.
The first remote batch function requested during a terminal
session causes the master program to request some fixed accounting
Information. The Information requested is then used for all batch
runs constructed during the terminal 'session. The information
requested is:
1. project code. At the prompt, PROJ?, the user should
enter his valid UNIVAC project code.
1i. terminal identifier. The user can select a location
where all of the remote batch output will be routed
This location can be a low-speed, medium-speed or high-
speed terminal. To route the output to the central
UNIVAC 1110 site the user enters PR. The location
selected is entered after the TERMINAL ID? prompt.
fii. account number. Account numbers must be registered
with NCC before run submissions will be accepted.
The account number is entered after the ACCT #? prompt.
No validity or edit checks,are made for the above three entries by ATS.
At the point an actual batch run is submitted to the 1110 operating
system., a check is made by that system against the valid account and
project code combinations. If the combination entered is not valid,
the run will not be accepted.
After the Initial information is entered for the first access
of a batch function, control 1s passed to the appropriate subprogram
and the1 session proceeds as described above.

The following sections describe the actual functions available with-
in the AEROS Terminal System. Besides the descriptive name, the subsystem,
access type, and function entry is listed. The notation used is:

I = Interactive Access
RB = Remote Batch Access
4.2.2.4 NEDS CONDENSED AND FULL POINT SOURCE LISTING (N; RB, PS)
4.2.2.4.0 DESCRIPTION
The point source function is a NEDS remote batch function that al-
lows the user to retrieve the most detailed information available on a
point by point basis. A condensed listing or a full listing is selected
by the user. The condensed version presents a subset of information from
the full listing. Seven lines per SCC are printed in the condensed list-
ings versus one page per SCC in the full listing. Sample printouts of
these two reports are included in this section.
4.2.2.4.1 STRUCTURED ENTRIES
When the function is first entered,_the user may ask for a listing
of the available functional commands if one is needed. After this entry,
a series of questions are asked to allow the user full flexibility of the
batch report. One question allows the user to select either the full or
condensed listing. Other questions are:
i. Do you wish to specify a pollutant and minimum values? If so,
do you need a listing of the valid pollutant codes? At the
prompt POLL,VALUE? the user enters a one digit pollutant code,
a comma, and a six digit minimum value. The minimum value must
be six digits with leading zeroes entered by the user if re-
quired. An entry of 1,000150 would soecifv that the userV/ant-
ed to list all plant-point-SCC combinations for which the calcu-
lated particulate emissions are over 150 tons per year. The

2 - sulfur dioxide
3 - nitrogen dioxide
4 - hydrocarbons
5 - carbon monoxide
blank - select all (blank entry)
ii. Do you want the standard or a special sort sequence? The stan-
dard sort sequence is STATE-COUNTY-PLANT-POINT-SCC. There are,
however, twenty individual sort fields that can be specified in
any order. The user may tailor his sort sequence to satisfy his
own needs, if desired. The user may request a list of the valid
sort codes if one is needed. An example of a special sort is
11, 01,02,03,04,05. This sequence will cause the report to print
out the state-county-plant-point-SCC having the highest calcu-
lated emissions for the selected pollutant first, next highest, etc.
The special sort sequence is entered after the SORT? prompt
with the first sort code, comma, the second sort code, comma, and
so on up to the minimum of twenty codes. Usually not more than
six codes are required to sort a report as desired.
A special entry is provided to allow a user to cancel the
sort just entered and to enter a new sort sequence. After the
user enters a sequence, it is echoed back so the user can re-
view his entry. The nromnt X or END? is printed. If X is en-
tered, a message indicating the previous sort is ignored prints
and the user is returned to the SORT? prompt. If the END is
entered after a sort sequence is echoed, the sort is entered in
the batch request and the session continues.
The valid sort codes are:
01 - -state
02 - county

standard if he desires. This is done by entering any
digit from one to nine in response to the prompt NUMBER?
If the «user enters any character other than digits one to
nine, the system will default to the standard (three digits).
v. Do you want metric units? (standard is ENGL). The user can
request that the calculated emissions be printed in metric
units if desired. The entry YES will indicate that metric
units are to be used. Otherwise the system defaults to
the English units.
In order to construct remote batch jobs, certain information is
required for the RUN card. Part of this information is fixed for a
single user and is therefore obtained from the master program. Some
information varies for each run 1s requested within the batch function.
The variable information is run Identifier, priority codes, and run time.
The run Identifier 1s a maximum of six characters long. The first
two characters are the NCC assigned bin number and the last four are any
characters the user wishes to assign to uniquely identify his run. It
1s possible to have runs with the same Identifiers but it is not recom-
mended since tracing runs becomes much more difficult. The user's run
identifier is entered after the prompt, NAME?
MCC has set up a system of priority codes that classifies runs and en-
ables the svstem to operate more efficiently. These codes change from time
to tine and therefore are not listed here. The codes are usually based on
run time and numbers of tape or disk drives reauired. This function re-
quires one tape drive during the batch run. Therefore, one tape mount and
the time required must be considered when assigning this priority code.
Cooies of the priority scheme are available from NCC (address in 4.2.2.0).
The one character priority code is entered after the PRIORITY? prompt.

The user must estimate the SUP time wTiich will be required to-
complete his request. This time will vary depending upon the type of
request, I.e. condensed or full listing, and the amount of data selected.
Some very rough estimates are listed here but a certain amount of trial
and error is Involved 1n estimating these times. It is better to esti-
mate high but this lengthens your turnaround time.
Examples: (as of 10/75)
Selection Time (minutes)
less than a state 5-40 (average less than 10)
state 10-60 (average 10-15)
AQCR 30-60 (average 30-40)
A tape 1s required to produce the NEDS FULL POINT SOURCE LISTING
or the NEDS CONDENSED POINT SOURCE LISTING. This tape will contain
data meeting selection criteria as requested by user, from which the
report 1s produced. The reel number of the tape to be used is to be
supplied by user; a maximum of six reel numbers may be supplied. These
reel numbers are to be separated by slashes (/). The user should specify
the expiration date for the tape file following the last reel number
entered. The correct form is reel number(s), 'a comma, and the desired
number of days the file is to be retained (reel I/reel 2/.../reel(n),
#days). The maximum number of days which can be specified is 4095. If
the user does not specify an expiration date, zero is used.
4.2.2.4.2 COMMANDS
After the preliminary responses have bea.n-entered, the user re-
ceives the prompt, COMMAND? There are six selection categories and four
fixed command entries.- The selection category used reflects to a degree
the amount of output to be printed. For example, report one, state se-
lection will probably generate more output than report three, state/
county/plant selection. The fixed commands, SIC, ownership, and esti-

binations as desired may be entered.
3- state/county/plant. As many state-county-
plant combinations as desired may be entered.
4- state/county/plant/point. As many com-
binations as desired may be entered.

terminate function. This command, following the
COMMAND? prompt, signals the end of user speci-
fications for this function.
The OWN, SIC and EST commands are strictly optional. They may be
used if the user so desires after any COMMAND? prompt. If they are not
used, records are selected based only on the REPORT entries. If any entry
is made for any or all of the three commands, that criteria is applied
to all records selected in the. batch run. For example, if ownership was
specified as U (utility), in the batch run, only utilities would be
printed.
When the user selects a category for entering selections, he enters
a loop which allows him to enter as many combinations as desired (except
for category 1, state). For each category, when this loop is entered
and after each entry (except END) a prompt is printed indicating the
information required. These prompts differ from category to category
but basically they are.- combination, X or END. The combinations reflect
the category. For example, category three is the state/county/plant
category. The messages, ENTER 10 CHARACTER STATE/COUNTY/PLANT CODE.X,
OR END and SCP, X OR END are printed. SCP represents state/county/plant.
The combination entered must be of the correct length or it is rejected.
The entry, X, causes the previous combination entered to be ignored.
This mechanism allows users to delete erroneous information entered. END
signifies that all combinations desired have been entered.

When the END command 1s entered after the COMMAND? prompt, a summary
of the batch run constructed 1s listed. The user has the option of
submitting the run as listed or cancelling 1t. If the user enters YES,
the batch run is submitted to the 1110 operating system right then. A
message Is returned by the 1110 system Indicating the run identifier and
whether or not the run was accepted. If the run is accepted, 1t goes
into the 1110 backlog and is scheduled for processing just as any other
batch job. Control is passed back to the ATS Master program and any ATS
function can be requested at that time.
4.2.2.4.3 SPECIAL NOTES
The commands can be entered in their entirety or b'e abbreviated to
the first two characters of the command. For example, OWN=P or OW=P
will be accepted.
A report (selection category) must be selected and at least one
combination entered or no batch job will be submitted.
This function must be used with care. There is a potential for
processing large volumes of output.
The output of the batch job requires a 132 print position line.
If the user's printer is limited to 120 characters, the output should
be routed to the UNIVAC 1110 central site for later mailing to the user.
The tape(s) specified must be standard UNIVAC-labelled tape(s).
The 'F' option is used to allow reuse of the tape(s) at a later time
with a minimum of difficulty.

4,2.2.5 NEDS AREA SOURCE LISTING (N.RB.AS)
4.2.2.5.0 DESCRIPTION
The area source function is a NEDS remote batch function that
allows the user to retrieve the most detailed information available
on an area basis. The user is allowed to retrieve listings on a
state, EPA region or a state-county basis. Two area sources can be
printed per page, but the user should exercise caution when making state
or regional requests because large volumes of output may result.
4,2.2.5.1 STRUCTURED ENTRIES
When the function is first entered, the user may ask for a
listing of the available functional commands if one is needed.
In "order to construct remote batch jobs, certain information
is required for the RUN card. Part of this information is fixed
for a single user and is therefore obtained from the master program.
Some information varies for each run and is requested within the
batch function. The variable information is run identifier, priority
code, and run time.
The run identifier is a maximum of six characters long. The.
first two characters are the NCC- assigned bin number and the last
four are any characters the user wishes to assign to uniquely identify
his run. It is possible to have runs with the same identifiers,
but it is not recommended because tracing runs becomes much more
difficult. The user's run identifier is entered after the prompt,
NAME?
NCC has set up a system of priority codes that classify runs
and enable the system to operate more efficiently. These codes
change from time to time and therefore are not listed here. The
codes are usually based on run time and number of tape or disk drives
required. The disks for this remote batch function are on-line and
therefore only time is to be considered. Copies of the priority
scheme are available from NCC (etddress in 4.2.2.0). The one character
priority code is entered after the prompt, PRIORITY?'.
The user must estimate the SUP time that will be required to complete
his request. This time will vary depending upon the amount of data selected.
For example, requests for less than a state, for a state, or for an AQCR
would each take about 2 minutes (as of October 1975). A certain amount of

trial and error is involved in estimating required times, so it 1s better
to estimate high. A high estimate, of course, lengthens the tbrnaround time
and affects the operating efficiency of the computer.
4.2.2.5.2 COMMANDS . • •
After the preliminary responses have been entered, the user
receives the prompt, COMMAND? The command word can'be entered 1n

The options are:

tions as desired.
terminate function. This command
following the COMMAND? prompt signals-the
end of user specifications for. this function.
When the user selects a report category, he enters a loop that allows
him to enter the specifications necessary. In the state or EPA region
report loop, the user enters the desired Information or request. The
report prints back his entry and he can either enter END, which indicates
the report specified 1s correct," or he can enter new specifications.
In the state-county report loop, the user enters his six character
state-county combination, X, or END. The X entry causes the last six
character combinatfon entered to be Ignored. . END indicates that all
the user combinations desired have been entered.
When the user has completed his entries for~the function, END 1s
entered after the COMMAND? prompt. A summary'of the batch job
constructed 1s printed and the user 1s given the opportunity to
review his specifications and submit or cancel the batch run. If the
user enters YES, the batch run 1s' submitted to the 1110 operating
system immediately. A message is returned by the 110 system indicating
the run identifier and whether the run was accepted. If the
run is accepted, it goes into the 1110 backlog and is scheduled for
processing just as any other batch job. Control 1s passed back to
the ATS master program and any ATS function can be requested at that
time.

4.2.2,6 NEDS AREA SOURCE FUEL SUMMARY REPORT (N,RB,FS)
4.2.2.6.0 DESCRIPTION
The area source fuel usage report is a NEDS remote batch function that
allows the user to retrieve information only about fuel usage compiled from
the area source form. The report provides the amount of fuel used in each
area within the state and a summary for the state. A sample report format is
included in this section.
4.2.2.6.1 STRUCTURED ENTRIES
When the function is first entered, the user may ask for a listing of
the available functional commands if one is needed.
In order to construct remote batch jobs, certain information is required
for the RUN card. Part of this information is fixed for a single user and is
therefore obtained from the master program. Some information varies for each
run and is requested within the batch function. The variable information is
run identifier, priority code, and run time.
The run identifier is a maximum of six characters long. The first two
characters are the NCC-assigned bin number and the last four are any characters
the user wishes to assign to uniquely identify his run. It is possible to have
runs with i:he same identifiers, but it is not recommended because tracing runs
becomes much more difficult. The user's run identifier is entered after the
prompt, NAME?
NCC has set up a system of priority codes that classify runs and enable
the system to operate more efficiently. These codes change from time to time
and therefore are not listed here. The codes are usually based on run time and
the number of tape or disk drives required. The disks for this remote batch
function are on-line and therefore only time is to be considered. Copies of
the priority scheme are available from NCC (address in 4.2.2.0). The one char-
acter priority code is entered after the prompt, PRIORITY?
The user must estimate the SUP time that will be required to complete his
request. This time will vary depending upon the amount of data selected. For
example, a request for 5 state/counties might take 1.5 minutes; a request for
1 state might require 0.5 minute (as of October 1975). A certain amount of
trial and error is involved in estimating required times, so it is better to
estimate high. A high estimate, of course, lengthens the turnaround time and
affects the operating efficiency of the computer.

After the preliminary responses have been entered, the user receives the
prompt, COMMAND? The command word can be entered in its entirety or can be
abbreviated to the first two characters of the word. The commands are:
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
i. region=?? EPA Region desired. The value must be a two
digit number from 01 to 10. If the STATE
command was entered previously, the state(s)
requested will be ignored.
ii. state=??,??,??,??,?? state(s) desired. A maximum of five states
can be requested. If the REGION command was
entered previously, the region requested will
be ignored.
i i i. end
terminates function. This command, following
the COMMAND? prompt, signals the end of user
specifications for this function.
When the END command is entered after the COMMAND? prompt, a summary of
the batch run constructed is listed. The user has the option of submitting
the run as listed or cancelling it. If the user enters YES, the batch run is
submitted to the 1110 operating system right then. A message is returned by
the 1110 system indicating the run identifier and whether or not the run was
accepted. If the run is accepted, it goes into the 1110 backlog and is sched-
uled for processing just as any other batch job. Control is passed back to
the ATS master program and any ATS function can be requested at that time.
4.2.2.6.3 SPECIAL NOTES
The commands can be entered in their entirety or be abbreviated to the
first two characters of the command. For example, STATE=01 and ST=01 are
equally acceptable.
Either a region or a state must be entered or no batch job be submitted.
The output of the batch job requires a 132 print position line. If the
user's printer is limited to 120 characters, the output should be routed to
the UNIVAC 1110 central site for later mailing to the user.

4.2.2.7 NEDS EMISSION SUMMARY REPORT (N,RB,ES)
4.2.2.7.0 DESCRIPTION
The emission summary function is a NEDS remote batch function that
allows the user to retrieve a summary report by category for varying geo-
graphical areas. A sample of the report format is included in this section.
4.2.2.7.1 STRUCTURED ENTRIES
When the function is first entered, the user may ask for a listing of
the available functional commands if one is needed.
In order to construct remote batch jobs, certain information is required
for the RUN card. Part of this information is fixed for a single user and
is therefore obtained from the master program. Some information varies for
each run and is requested within the batch function. The variable information
is run identifier, priority code and run time.
The run identifier is a maximum of six characters long. The first two
characters are the NCC assigned bin number and the last four are any charac-
ters the user wishes to assign to uniquely identify his run. It is possible
to have runs with the same identifiers but it is not recommended because
tracing runs becomes much more difficult. The user's run identifier is enter-
ed after the prompt, NAME?
NCC has set up a system of priority codes that classify runs and enable
the system to operate more efficiently. These codes change from time to time
and therefore are not listed here. The codes are usually based on run time
and number of tape or disk drives required. The disks for this function are
on-line and therefore only time is to be considered. Copies of the priority
scheme are available from NCC (address in 4.2.2.0). The one character
priority code is entered after the prompt, PRIORITY?
The user must estimate the SUP time that will be required to complete
his request. This time will vary depending upon the amount of data selected.
Some rough estimates are listed here but a certain amount of trial and error
is involved in estimating these times. It is better to estimate high, but
this lengthens your turnaround and affects the 1110 operating efficiency.

4.2.2.7.2 COMMANDS
After the preliminary responses have been entered, the user receives the
prompt, COMMAND? The command word can be entered in its, entirety or can be
abbreviated to the first two characters of the word. The commands are:
COMMAND
i. report3?
ii. end
DESCRIPTION
Report selection category wanted.
Various options are open to the user
to limit his retrieval to a manage-
able size. The optiorr desired is
chosen by specifying the selection
class corresponding to it. The
options are:
1. State summary report. As many
states as are desired can be
entered.
2. County summary report. As many
state/county combinations as
desired may be entered.
3. State by county summary report.
As many states as desired can be
entered.
4. EPA Region summary report. As
many regions as desired may be
requested.
5. AQCR summary report. As many
AQCR's as are desired may be
entered.
6. National summary report. No
further input is required.
Terminate function. This command,
following the COMMAND? prompt,
signals the end of user specifi-
cations for this function.
When the user selects a category for entering selections, he enters a
loop that allows him to enter as many combinations as desired. For each
category, when this loop is entered and after each entry (except END) a prompt
is printed indicating the information required. These prompts differ from
category to category, but basically they are: combination, X, or END. The
combinations reflect the category. For example, category two is the state/
county category. The messages, ENTER 6 CHARACTER STATE/COUNTY CODE, X OR END
and SC,X, or END? are printed. SC represents state/county. The combination

entered must be of the correct length or it is rejected. The entry, X,
causes the previous combination entered to be ignored. This mechanism allows
users to delete erroneous information entered. END signifies that all
combinations desired have been entered.
When the END command is entered after the COMMAND? prompt, a summary of
the batch run constructed is listed. The user has the option of submitting
the run as listed or cancelling it. If the user enters YES, the batch run
is submitted to the 1110 operating system immediately. A message is returned
by the 1110 system indicating the run identifier and whether the run was
accepted. If the run is accepted, it goes into the 1110 backlog and is
scheduled for processing just as any other batch job. Control is passed
back to the ATS master program and any ATS function can be requested at
that time.
4.2.2.7.3 SPECIAL NOTES
The commands can be entered in their entirety or be abbreviated to the
first two characters of the command. For example, REPORT=1 and RE=1 are
equally acceptable.
A report must be selected and at least one combination entered or no
batch job will be submitted.
The state by county summary produces a large volume of output.
Use with care.
The output of the batch job requires a 132-print position line. If the
user's printer is limited to 120 characters, the output should be routed to
the UNIVAC 1110 central site for later mailing to the user.

4.2.2.11 SAROAD YEARLY SUMMARIES (S.I.YS) -
4.2.2.11.0 DESCR3PTION
The SAROAD yearly summaries function is an interactive function
that allows the user to retrieve selected summary Information for any
site for a given pollutant. The following summary information is
available:
. All statistics desired
. The number of observations
. The maximum value encountered
. The minimum value encountered
The percentage of possible observations that are present
. One half the minimum detectable
. The number of times values occurred that were less than the
minimum detectable
. Time maximum occurred (MM:DA:HR)
. Time second maximum occurred (MM:DA:HR)
. Second maximum value
For intervals other than Y or Z:
The arithmetic mean. This value is blank for non-criteria data.
. The geometric mean. This value is blank for non-criteria data.
. The arithmetic standard deviation. This value is blank for non-criteria
data.
. The geometric standard deviation. This value is blank for non-criteria
data.
.- Number of primary violations (blank if no standard)
. Number of secondary violations (blank if no standard)
For Y and Z intervals only:
. Number of non-overlapping primary violations (blank if interval not
equal to Z or Y)
. Number of non-overlapping secondary violations (blank if interval not
equal to Z or Y)
. Number of overlapping values that exceed the primary standard
. Number of overlapping values that exceed the secondary standard
4.2.2.11.1 STRUCTURED ENTRIES
When this function is entered, the user may ask for a listing of
the available functional commands and instructions by replying "YES"
to the prompt "COMMAND LIST...YES OR NO?"

4.2.2.11.2 COMMANDS
After the preliminary responses haO*e been processed, the user is
prompted by the prompt, COMMAND? The user should select and enter a com-
mand word from the list below. The command word can be entered in its
entirety or can be abbreviated to the firs.t two characters of the word.
Where "=" sign is present in the command, it should appear after the first
two characters if the abbreviated mode is being used.
The yearly summary functional commands are of two types. The first
type provides information for locating the desired information. The other
type describes the summary information desired. Initially, the program
is set up not to print any of the summary information. The summary in-
formation commands entered by the user define the extent of summary in-
formation output. If at a later point in the session the user desires to
negate some or all of the commands he has entered, he should enter the •
command prefixed by "X". For example, if the user has requested number
of observations by entering "OB" command and he no longer is interested in
that information, he should enter "XOB" in response to the prompt COMMAND?
The following commands define the search parameter:

This function operates in an interactive mode. Thus it will produce
the requested summary reports upon the user's terminal immediately after
the FIND or NEXT commands.
Initially this program will not produce any summary information.
The user must select the extent of information he desires by entering
the proper command. If later in the session he'wants to exclude some
or all of the information requested, he can do so by entering the pro-
per command prefixed by "X".

4.2.2.12.2 COMMANDS
After the preliminary responses have been processed, the user is
prompted by the prompt, COMMAND? The user should select and enter a com-
mand word from the list below. The command word can be entered in its
entirety or can be abbreviated to the first two characters of the word.
Where "=" sign is present in the command, it should appear after the first
two characters if the abbreviated mode is being used.
The quarterly summary functional commands are of two types: The first
type provides information for locating the desired information. The other
type describes the summary information desired. Initially, the program
is set up not to print any of the summary information. The summary in-
formation commands entered by the user define the extent of summary in-
formation output. If at a later point in the session the user desires to
negate some or all of the commands he has entered, he should enter the
command prefixed by "X". For example, if the user has requested number
of observations by entering "OB" command and he is no longer interested in
that information, he should enter "XOB" in response to the prompt COMMAND?
The following commands define the search parameter:

Routine publications are defined as publications of a more permanent na-
ture than those usually associated with computer-based reporting. They are
typically published at regular intervals, either quarterly or annually, and
most are permanently bound, printed volumes. In some cases, they consist of
updated, verified, and corrected emissions or air quality data reports; others
are digests or summaries of edited raw data.
Although EPA publishes a large number of documents each year, in this
section only those based on data from the NEDS, SAROAD, or other AEROS sub-
systems are discussed. The preliminary reports are more informal in their or-
ganization, method of preparation, and type of binding; the final reports are
prepared as permanent reference works. Some of the reports described in the
following paragraphs are prepared by a computerized phototypesetting process
known as LINOTRON. Others are printed by a photo offset process directly
from computer printout or typewriter copy.

The emissions data publications are routine publications of emissions and
fuel usage information. They are derived almost entirely from the NEDS data
base. The publications included in this category are as follows:
National Emissions Report - a report of emissions of the criteria pollutants,
broken down by emission category and by geo-
graphic region. (Printed by LINOTRON)
Fuel Usage Report - a report of fuel usage, broken down geographically
and by fuel type and usage category.

5.1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This document, published annually by EPA, contains a NEDS emission summary
report for each of the 55 "states" and each of the 247 Air Quality Control
Regions (AQCR's) in the United States. The 1972 National Emissions Report
(NER) was published in June 1974. The ordering of the tables of emissions
that constitute the body of the document is as follows:
a. Summary for the United States.
b. Summary tables for each state in alphabetical order.
c. After each State Summary Table, the tables for each AQCR or portion
of an (interstate) AQCR lying within that state are given in numerical
order.
d. After the last individual state and its AQCR, the tables for all of
the interstate AQCR's, each one in its entirety, appear in numerical
order.
The individual tables are arranged according to the major categories of sources
of emissions of the five pollutatns for which national standards have been pro-
mulgated.* The five major source categories are:
a. Fuel Combustion
b. Industrial Processing
c. Solid Waste Disposal
d. Transportation
e. Miscellaneous
The five "criteria" pollutants are:
a. Particulates
b. Sulfur Oxides
c. Nitrogen Oxides
d. Hydrocarbons
e. Carbon Monoxide
A sixth substance, photochemical oxidants, is also considered to be a "crite-
ria" pollutant because ambient air quality standards have been promulgated for
it. Because it is a secondary or derived pollutant, however, no emissions
standards exist as such.

The data in this document were compiled from source information of the National
Emissions Data System (NEDS). Brief discussions of the NEDS basic elements
used for the generation of the NER are included in the introduction to the
document.
5.1.1.2 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 5.1.1.a gives examples of the national, state, and AQCR-wide summaries
described above. Note the order in which the tables for the two parts of the
interstate AQCR appear, each portion in its own state's area of the NER
documert. The entire AQCR is summarized in its proper numerical order at the
end of the document.

quality information. They are derived entirely from the SAROAD data base. The
publications included in this category are:
Criteria Pollutants Preliminary Reports - Preliminary reports of air qual-
ity data for a quarter or a full year.(Produced in limited quantities
by offset printing.)
Criteria Pollutants Final Reports - Final reports of air quality data, for
quarter or full year, compiled after review of the preliminary reports.
(Produced by LINOTRON.)
Directory of Air Monitoring Sites - Annually updated directory of monitor-
ing sites, giving site location agency and type.
Noncriteria Pollutants - These reports are undergoing modification and are
not currently ready for publication.

5.2.1.1 QUARTERLY REPORTS
5.2,1.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
As can be seen by referring to the attached sample page from the Preliminary
Report, Air Quality Data, Fourth Quarter, 1973, dated May 1974, the Pre-
liminary Reports are reproduced by photo offset from typewritten copy in
order to expedite their delivery to the using agencies. Also, they are not
intended as permanent resords because they are subject to additions and
corrections as a result of the review of the data that is requested of the
Regional Offices (RO's) by the NADB. The source documents for these reports
are the SAROAD Quarterly Frequency Distributions (see paragraph 2.3.2.2
above). All of such data that have been submitted by the deadline as given
in the schedule as shown in the Preliminary Report are. included. Data that
are submitted too late for inclusion in the Preliminary Report are available
to the RO's through the regular distribution channels of the AEROS and are
included in the Final Quarterly Reports and the Preliminary and Final Yearly
Reports (see paragraphs 5.2,1.2, 5.2.2.1 and 5.2.2.2, below).
The Report is organized according to the following hierarchy:
a. Pollutant Type
b. Method of Collection and Analysis
c. Time Interval
d. State
e. AQCR Number and Name
f. Area
g. Site Number
h. Agency Type
i. Project Classification Code
The content of the body of the Report is similar to that of the SAROAD Quarterly
Frequency Distribution; i.e., in order across the page the columnar headings
are:
a. Number of Observations (next after Agency/Project Code)
b. Minimum Value Observed
c. Percentiles (10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 95, and 99)
d. Maximum Value Observed
e. Arithmetic Mean
f. Arithmetic Standard Deviation
g. Geometric Mean
h. Geometric Standard Deviation
V
The last four columns are filled in only for those sets of data satisfying the
NADB criteria of quality and quantity (frequency) of observation. These
"summary criteria" are defined and explained in Section 2.3.0.

5.2.1.2 YEARLY REPORTS
5.2.1.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
t
The format and content of this publication are identical to those of the
Preliminary Quarterly Reports, with the obvious exceptions that the data per-
tain to one entire calendar year instead of a single quarter and that, as a
result, the source document is the SAROAD Yearly Frequency Distribution rather
than the Quarterly Frequency Distribution. See the description in the preced-
ing paragraph (5.2.1.1) for the layout and content of the tables in the body
of the report. These reports are also produced from computer printouts by

5.2.2.1 QUARTERLY REPORTS
5.2.2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These reports are published after the Preliminary reports have been issued, corrected
and edited, and their contents validated by the several states and EPA Regional Offi-
ces (RO's). They'are similar in nature to the Preliminary Reports described earlier
(see paragraphs 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2, above), but are prepared in a different format
for printing by the LINOTRON, process. The attached sample page demonstrates the
format and content of the Final Reports. The Final Reports should include all
corrections submitted by the States or the EPA Regional Offices.
5.2.2.1.2 SAMPLE REPORT
As can be seen from Figure 5.2.2.a., the Final Reports contain the same information
as is given in the Preliminary Reports, the chief difference being that the format
has been somewhat altered by the LINOTRON printing process. See paragraph 5.2.1.1,
above, for a description of the sequencing of the major elements of the report, as
well as the ordering of the data across the page.

5.2.2.2 YEARLY REPORTS
5.2.2.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION '
This report, like the Preliminary Yearly Report, is arranged exactly like
its corresponding Quarterly Report—the difference, as before, being that the
data are for an entire year rather than for a single quarter of a year. The
sequencing of the major elements in as in the Final Quarterly Reports; that is,
by Pollutant Type, Method, Time Interval, State, AQCR, Area (City or County),
Site Number, and Agency/Project Code, The physical arrangement of the numeri-
cal data across the page is as described in paragraph 5.2.1.1. Because of the
review and editing of the Preliminary Reports and the longer time allowed for
the submittal of late data, this is the most accurate and the most complete of
all of the Air Quality Data Routine Publications.
5.2.2.2.2 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 5.2.2.b shows a sample of this report format.

5.2.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This publication, which is a complete directory of all site data for
SAROAD monitoring sites in the United States, is published annually by HADB.
The 1972 edition (EPA-450/2-73-006, September 1973) contains 800 pages, of
which pages i-vi contain the title page, table of contents, etc.; pages 1-4
are the introduction including the two-page SAROAD Site Identification Form
and the Agency Type and Project Classification Codes; and the remaining 790
pages constitute the body of the report. Future directories will include
only sites active in year X, and the pollutants that were reported will also
be given by site.
The sequencing of the site information is by state and location name,
both in alphabetical order. Within a given location, the ordering is by Site
Code Number and Agency Type Code. The arrangement of the information is as
shown in paragraph 2.3.1.5, which contains the description of the SAROAD Site
Description Inventory, except for some format differences as shown in the sample
report.
5.2.3.2 SAMPLE REPORT
Figure 5.2.3.a shows a sample page from the directory. The sequencing
of the individual items may be seen in the data for Sites 020160001, in Fair-
banks Alaska. The ordering extends to the Agency Type Code and, in the case of
the Fairbanks site, to the Project Classification Code.
Figure 5.2.3.b shows a sample page from the Directory of Air Quality
Monitoring Sites Active in 1973. This figure shows the site descriptions and
the list of pollutants reported for each site.

In this section, the usage of AEROS reports will be illustrated by descriptions
of typical application problems in which some of the major AEROS reports have
been utilized.
Perhaps the most important of the AEROS output is the emissions (NEDS) infor-
mation and the air quality (SAROAD) information. These sets of data are
frequently used in concert to relate emission levels to air quality in a
region or to observe long term trends in emissions and air quality levels. One
example application of these data concerns tha problem of achieving the air
quality standards for total suspended particulates under current emission
regulations (Section 6.1.1). SAROAD data are utilized in this application to
assess the magnitude of the particulate problem in a region and to observe the
recent trends in particulate levels. The NEDS output is useful in identifying
the major sources of the problem as well as providing a base for evaluating
the impact of alternatives for remedial action.
Another application is in the development of the transportation control
plans required to ensure achieving air quality standards for carbon monoxide
and photochemical oxidants (Section 6.1.2). In this application, NEDS in-
formation is used to provide data on the nonautomotive sources of these pol-
lutants, and these data, along with recent SAROAD air quality data, provide
baseline information for application of a rollback calculation to estimate the
required reductions in automotive emissions.
In assessing alternative emissions control plans, diffusion modeling is a
useful tool to aid in estimating the impacts of specific emission reduction
measures. However, before it can be useful, any diffusion model must be
validated and then calibrated for the conditions under which it is to be
applied. NEDS and SAROAD data can be utilized for the validation and cali-
bration of models that are used in assessing emission control plans for a
region (Section 6.3.1).
The third major AEROS system is the source test data system. This system,
accumulating data from numerous stack tests, is useful in estimating emission
factors for different source types. These emission factors can be updated,
improved, or modified as technology changes through application of the data
stored in SOTDAT. (Section 6.2.1)
In addition to the three major components, AEROS includes a number of other
smaller systems that are generally useful in conjunction with the major sys-
tems. The Air Quality Assurance System is useful in conjunction with SAROAD to
to determine the type of aerometric data available in a region as well as
the quality of those data. The State Implementation Plan System is also use-
ful in conjunction with NEDS and SAROAD data in assessing the effectiveness
of specific emissions regulations by observing time trends. These systems
find important applications in the development and evaluation of State
Implementation Plans (Sections 6.3 and 6.4).

Anoth«:r system, the Federal Power Commission - Form 67 data system, is
important in the evaluation of the contribution to air pollution from
electric generating plants. A particularly significant application of
this system is in the assessment of effects of fuel switching by power
companies (Section 6.5.1) - for example, if oil shortages require a
switch to coal burning.
The various auxiliary data files included within AEROS are important
sources of information concerning various point and area sources of air
pollution. One important application of these files is in providing
timely data sources for the semiannual updating of emission inventories
for NEDS (Section 6.6). Census data provide a base for updating various
categories of area source fuel usage. Polk data provide basic information
for estimation of automotive emissions.

The emissions data system (NEDS) and the air quality data system (SAROAD)
are the major components of AEROS. These systems were originally developed to
provide a classification and inventory of air pollution sources (NEDS) and to
provide a history of air quality trends (SAROAD). The systems are kept up-to-
date by the Federal requirement of semiannual updating for NEDS files and
quarterly reporting of SAROAD information.
The systems are important in recognizing trends in emissions levels or
in air quality in order to anticipate potential problems in meeting air quality
standards. They are also important as baseline information for use in evaluating
the "potential"control" measures and in evaluating and calibrating diffusion
models for application to the assessment of regional problems.
The systems provide over 20 different types of data reports for displaying
emissions and air quality data and, in addition, they have the capability of pro-
viding selected raw data from NEDS or SAROAD in a computer-readable form (cards
or tape) for further analysis.

In many urban areas, presently employed emission control procedures are proving
inadequate for achieving air quality standards for total suspended particulates
(TSP). In view of the fact that the Clean Air Act requires that these standards
be attained, many agencies* are concerned that the degree of noncompliance be
determined and that the reasons for noncompliance be identified so that appro-
priate remedial action can be taken.
The sources of suspended particulates can vary considerably and include:
• Stationary sources engaged in activities generating
combustion products and industrial dust (utilities,
coal and oil-fired boilers, smelters, etc.)
• Area sources including automotive/diesel exhaust,
tire wear particles, and space heating exhaust.
• Fugitive dust sources including sand, unpaved roads,
cattle feedlots, construction activities, quarrying,
mining, and storage operations.
The nature and magnitude of the particulates problem in any given location is
dependent on the local geography and meteorology and on the nature and density
of local land use activities.
It is important that the agency identify the source of the TSP problem in its
particular location. If a city is currently exceeding TSP air quality stand-
ards in spite of compliance by major stationary sources with emission regula-
tions, the implication is that further stationary source controls may be futile
and that achievement of particulate standards may be contingent upon applica-
tion of more difficult to implement control measures for fugitive and area
sources.
Those factors to be considered in a TSP study include, among other things, (1)
an up-to-date reassessment of the nature and magnitude of the TSP problem, (2)
compliance status and emissions data for the area as a whole and for the
sources particularly affecting sites not meeting the standards, (3) control
regulations and enforcement action and the nature of control practices prompted
thereby, and (A) background information to characterize the geographical dis-
tribution and nature of the industrial mix of the area.
*Whenever this section refers to the "agency" performing air quality planning
or analysis the reference is intended to be general and can be interpreted to
mean EPA, the state air quality agency, a substate air agency, or consultants
to any of these.

6.1.1.1 APPLICATIONS OF AIR QUALITY DATA
Information available in the SAROAD files is useful in assessing the magnitude
of the TSP problem in an area. Federal Primary Standards require that the
annual geometric mean of 75 ug/m3 not be exceeded for TSP. By comparing cur-
rent TSP levels to this standard, the degree of total reduction required to
achieve the standards can be estimated.
A readily available and up-to-date SAROAD file provides sufficient information
for an agency to assess current TSP levels in an area relative to the national
standards. Specifically, Standard SAROAD Reports (Paragraph 2.3.1.4) show, for
each monitoring site within a specified geographical region, the daily and
annual geometric mean TSP levels. The report flags with an asterisk all meas-
urements that exceed the primary standard.
To investigate seasonal variations in TSP levels, Quarterly Frequency Distribu-
tions Sunurary Reports (Paragraph 2.3.2.2) provide quarterly geometric mean TSP
levels. Both reports can save the agency considerable effort in calculating
geometric mean TSP levels.
For the purpose of analyzing the TSP problem in a given area, the agency will
want to retrieve Quarterly Frequency Distribution Summary Reports for all moni-
toring sites in the study area for as far back as data have been collected so
that trends can be established and analyzed. The agency will also evaluate the
site locations and the monitoring procedures to aid in interpreting the observed
trends. The QAMIS reports (see Section 6.3.0) may be used to evaluate the
reliability of reported data.
The data in the SAROAD file will also help the agency determine the effects of
past regulations on particulate levels. Several sites' data prior to the regula-
tion can be compared to data after the regulation became effective and two sets
of observations can be analyzed for statistically significant differences.
Graphs of ambient air levels can be generated to show trends of particulate
levels before and after the regulation.
6.1.1.2 APPLICATION OF EMISSIONS DATA
The degree to which TSP levels in a given area are dependent on particulate
emissions in that area has been the subject of a major research effort funded
by EPA. Preliminary indications are that, although TSP levels and particulate
emissions are closely related, other factors including meteorology and parti-
culates transport over long distances are also important.
When analyzing the TSP problem in a specific area, it is important that the
agency assass the relationship between TSP levels and particulate emissions from
measurable sources so that effective strategies for controlling TSP levels
can be identified.

To conduct such an analysis it is necessary to )iave at hand an emissions inven-
tory of measurable sources, summarized by type, including historical trends of
the summary and future projections as well as an indication of likely fugitive
dust, mobile sources, or other noninventoried sources around each monitoring site.
The NEDS files do not provide detailed information on likely fugitive dust or
mobile sources around particular monitoring sites. These require a land use
inventory that can be obtained from aerial photos, land use maps, or a brief
on-site survey and from detailed traffic data available from local traffic
engineers.
Information available in the NEDS files is useful in assessing the point and
area sources of the particulates problem in an area. Several readily avail-
able NEDS reports provide sufficiently detailed information on both point
sources and nonvehicular area sources for the agency to determine the nature
of the TSP problem and the likely impact of proposed remedial action on TSP
levels. The following NEDS reports are useful:
• Raw Data Reports (Paragraph 2.1.1.0)
- A listing of emissions by all point sources is available
in a "Point Source Report" (Paragraph 2.1.1.1). This is
particularly valuable in identifying major sources, the
nature and location of the activity in relation to the
monitoring site, and the status of compliance with exist-
ing regulations.
- A listing of emissions by point sources emitting over a
specified level of particulates is available in a "Con-
densed Point Source Report" (Paragraph 2.1^1.2). This
limits the amount of source-level data, is more expedi-
tious and may still serve the purpose.
- Emissions from area sources are available in an "Area
Source Report" (Paragraph 2.1.1.3) and are useful in ana-
lyzing the contribution of minor stationary and miscel-
laneous sources to total TSP emissions in an area.
• Summary Reports (Paragraph 2.1.2.0) \ "
- A listing of major plants and the tons of particulates
emitted by each is -available from a "Plant Emission .Sum-
mary Report" (Paragraph 2.1.2.1) and is useful when ana-
lyzing the impact of further emission reductions at spe-
cific sources rather than at entire industries.

The Clean Air Act requires EPA to establish national "primary" air quality
standards strict enough to protect all members of the population from ad-
verse health effects caused by air pollutants including carbon monoxide and
photochemical oxidants. It then requires each state to have in effect an
"implementation plan" (SIP) to achieve these standards throughout its terri-
tory. If the state does not submit an appropriate implementation plan the
Act requires EPA to promulgate an appropriate plan for the state.
The automobile is the source of nearly all carbon monoxide and a majority of
the hydrocarbons that form photochemical oxidants. Although the Federal
Motor Vehicle Emissions Control Program ("FMVECP") established by the Clean
Air Act requires all new automobiles to meet Strict emission standards for
these pollutants, this program taken together with stationary sources controls
proposed in the SIP will, in many cases, not assure that the national primary
air quality standards will be achieved. As a result many SIP's require further
control of emissions from vehicular sources for EPA approval. The document
that incorporates such controls into the SIP is called a Transportation
Control Plan (TCP).
Those factors to be considered in the TCP include, among other things: (1)
an up-to-date verification and reassessment of the nature and magnitude of
the air pollution problem, (2) a re-evaluation of the impact of stationary
source controls and FMVECP proposed in other sections of the SIP, (3) an
analysis of the impact of proposed transportation control measures on air
quality, and (A) a comparison of the total estimated emission reductions
achieved by all proposed control measures and the total estimated emission
to achieve the national air quality standards.
In many cases, FMVECP and first cut stationary source and transportation
controls will not be sufficient to achieve the standards. In these cases it
is necessary to iterate through the SIP to propose additional controls that
will further reduce nonvehir.ular and vehicular emissions until the required
reductions are achieved.
6.1.2.1 APPLICATION OF AIR QUALITY DATA
Information available in the SAROAD files is useful in assessing the magni-
tude of the air quality problem In an Air Quality Control Region (AQCR).
Federal regulations require that the following air quality standards not
be exceeded for carbon monoxide and for photochemical oxidants:
• Carbon Monoxide
- The second-highest hourly average concentration must not
exceed 35 ppm.

- The second-highest nonoverlapping 8-hour average concen-
tration must not exceed 9 .ppm.
• Oxidants
The second-highest hourly average concentration must not
exceed 0.08 ppm.
By comparing current values of these measures to the national standards, the
.degree of total emissions reduction required to achieve the standards can be
estimated,
i*
A readily available and up-to-date SAROAD file provides sufficient information
for an agency* to assess the air quality of an area. Specifically, Standard
SAROAD Reports (Paragraph 2.3.1.4) show, for each pollutant-site combination
within a specified geographical region, the individual hourly observation of
that pollutant. To reduce the effort in identifying the second-highest hourly
average, these reports flag with an asterisk all measurements that exceed the
standards. Also, a standard SAROAD report is available that'shows the 8-hour
running average concentration of carbon monoxide and also flags those values
that exceed the standards. This report saves the agency considerable effort
in calculating these averages and in identifying the second-highest nonover-
lapping, 8-hour average.
For the purpose of analyzing a typical TCP, the agency will want to retrieve
these three reports for all monitoring sites in an AQCR for a specified base
year, and for earlier years, in order to assess the air quality problem and
to recognize trends in the air quality to the region.
6.1.2.2 APPLICATION OF EMISSIONS DATA
Because concentrations of pollutants by which the air quality of an AQCR is
judged are highly correlated with the emissions of those pollutants within
the AQC3., it follows that the air quality will improve when emissions are
reduced. It then becomes essential to have available an emissions source
inventory and an estimate of future emissions describing the nature of each
source and the contribution of related emissions to the total emissions so
that effective control strategies can be proposed and their impact on air
quality analyzed. The following information is required to estimate emissions
of carbon monoxide and of hydrocarbons:
Whenever this section refers to the "agency" performing air quality planning
or analysis the reference, is intended to be general and can be interpreted
to mean EPA, the state air quality agency, a sub-state air agency, or con-
sultants to any of these.

• Carbon Monoxide
- Because nearly all CO is produced by vehicular sources it
is not necessary to analyze CO emissions from nonvehicular
sources.
- It is necessary to calculate CO emissions as a function of
vehicle miles traveled by vehicle age and type and of typ-
ical vehicular operating characteristics (speed) over the
street network.
• Hydrocarbons
- In addition to vehicular sources, oxidant-forming hydro-
carbons are produced by fossil fuel combustion, evaporation
from storage facilities, and direct discharge by various
industrial processes. Although the formation of oxidants
is dependent on meteorological.conditions, the formation
of oxidants in an area is directly proportional to the
hydrocarbons emitted in that area.
It is necessary to estimate hydrocarbon emissions from both vehicular and
nonvehicular sources. Nonvehicular sources are further segmented into "area"
and "point" sources. The distinction between area and point sources is arbi-
trarily made on the basis of the-spatial distribution and magnitude of emis-
sions from the source. For example, a power plant thats emits 500 tons of
hydrocarbons per year warrants individual attention and is treated as a point
source. On the other hand a gas station that emits 5 tons of hydrocarbons
per year may not warrant the individual attention afforded a point source but
together with 100 other gas stations may warrant collective attention as an
area source.
The NEDS files do not provide sufficiently detailed information to assess
the magnitude of carbon monoxide and hydrocarobn emissions from vehicular
sources. This analysis requires detailed traffic information described above.
However, the NEDS "Area Source Report" (Paragraph 2.1.1.3) provides an estimate
of fuel used by mobile sources by state and county. This information, used
together with average fuel consumption rates, provides a "ballpark" check of
total vehicle miles traveled in a study area.
Information available in the NEDS files is useful in assessing the nonvehic-
ular sources of the oxidants problem in an AQCR. Several readily available
NEDS reports provide sufficient information on both point sources and non-
vehicular area sources for the agency to determine the impact of proposed
stationary source controls on air quality. The degree of detail required for
the analysis is dependent on the control strategy to be analyzed and th*e
technique used to perform the analysis. For example, the linear rollback

technique Implies that all sources will reduce their emissions by an amount
proportional to the total required emission reduction from all sources. In
other words, if it is desired that stationary sources emit 40 percent fewer
hydrocarbons, then it is assumed that all sources will reduce their existing
emissions by 40 percent.
Linear rollback is a technique that allows one to convert changes in total
emissions to changes in pollutant concentrations. The technique assumes
that tha concentration of a pollutant is equal to the background concentra-
tion of that pollutant plus some linear function of the emission rate of
the pollutant.
The emission reduction required to meet a national standard is equal to the
difference between the existing emissions and the allowable emissions, which
can be calculated by comparing the national standard to the background con-
centration (which is usually quite small). The required reduction can be
expressed as a percentage as follows:
% reduction _ (existing emissions) - (allowable emissions)
required ~ (existing emissions)
100
The data required to perform this analysis are found in an aggregate summary
of total emissions from stationary sources in a given AQCR available from
NEDS "Emissions Summary Reports" (Paragraph 2.1.2.1).
An emission control strategy that distinguishes among stationary sources
requires a more disaggregate analysis. For example, if it is desired that
particular point sources (e.g., power plants) or area sources categories
(e.g., dry cleaning industry) reduce their emissions by certain percentages,
it is necessary to know the existing emissions from those particular sources
or specific industries. The data required to perform an analysis on this
level are found in the following NEDS Reports:
• flaw Data Reports (Paragraph 2.1.1.0)
- A listing of emissions by all point sources is available
in "Point Sources Report" (paragraph 2.1.1.1) but may
not be necessary unless point sources are to be controlled
individually.
- A listing of emissions by point sources emitting over a
specified level of pollutants is available in the""Con-
densed Point Source Report" (Paragraph 2.1.1.2) and may
be more to the point.

Data from the NEDS and SAROAD systems can be of considerable value in the
development of Air Quality Maintenance Plans. Maintenance plans are required
by EPA regulations as a supplement to the air quality planning in State
Implementation Plansi which have related primarily to the initial attainment
of air quality standards. Maintenance planning is directed toward ensuring
that air quality standards will not be violated over the long term. In the
development of these plans, a modeling approach can be employed to relate
future air quality trends to forecasted emission patterns resulting from resi-
dential and industrial growth or new source performance standards. A multi-
source diffusion model such as COM, can be validated for a given base year
using point and area source emissions from NEDS and monitoring information
from SAROAD. Point source parameters used in the modeling exercise include
location by UTM coordinates, emission rate, stack height, stack diameter, gas
exit velocity, and gas temperature. Countywide total area source emissions
for the industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors may
be disaggregated by means of the Computer Assisted Area Source Emissions
(CAASE) allocation procedure. These point and area source emissions, assigned
to a grid system, serve as input to a diffusion model that will calculate, for
appropriate meteorological variables, pollutant concentrations for a number
of actual receptor locations. Measured and calculated concentrations are then
compared to determine whether an acceptable correlation exists between the two
sets of values.
If the measured concentrations are well correlated with the model-calculated
concentrations, the model is suitably validated for the study region. The
model may then be calibrated for background concentrations and for modeling
bias by relating the measured and calculated observations by means of a
linear least squares fit. The least squares fit finds a linear relationship
of the form:
Xc = aX + b
f c
where X is a model-calculated concentration
c
X is a "fitted" concentration
The coefficients a and b are determined from the calculated and measured
concentrations so as to make X (fitted concentration) a statistically best
estimate of the actual concentrations, for a given calculated concentration.

Once the model Is calibrated for a base year, the NEDS point and area emissions
for that year can be projected on the basis tff expected growth in population,
industrial employment or earnings. Large point sources and expected new
sources may be considered separately to estimate future emission rates.
The calibrated model can then be applied to the NEDS projected emissions,
and pollutant concentrations calculated for an array of receptor locations.
Application of the calibraton equation to each of the calculated concentrations
then yields the statistically best estimate of pollutant concentrations under
the projected growth.

The SOTDAT System is designed to store and retrieve all of the relevant
technical data collected during the measurement of pollutant emissions from
point sources. The process whereby these measurements are generated is called
stack testing; hence, the term "Source Test Data" or SOTDAT. The original pur-
pose of the SOTDAT system was to provide an automated means of updating and im-
proving emission factors for specific Source Classification Codes in the NEDS
Emission Factor File. During the"2 years'since the initial design of SOTDAT,
however, other applications have been developed for that system. Examples of
these are equipment performance evaluations, cost analyses of pollution control
equipment, and support to the EPA surveillance and enforcement activities.
The primary use for SOTDAT remains the development and introduction of
modifications and improvements to the EPA emission factors. This application
is described in further detail in the following section.

Ideally, actual measurement results (stack test data, etc.) would be used to
compute emissions from all -point sources and area source categories. As a
practical matter, however, because of the very large number of sources and
their great diversity it would be difficult and expensive to conduct field
measurements at the point of release of emissions on a source-by-source basis
for the entire nation or any large part thereof. The alternative that has
been employed is to develop and apply generalized estimates of typical emis-
sions from each'of the various source types, taking into account as many of
the determining, factors and parameters as can be feasibly done in each case.
These generalized estimates of emissions are usually made through the use of
emission factors. An emission factor is defined as an estimate of the rate
at which a pollutant is released to the ambient atmosphere as a result of
some activity, such as combustion or industrial processing, divided by the
level of that activity. In other words, an emission factor relates the
quantity of pollutant emitted to some activity level such as production rate,
quantity of fuel burned or vehicle miles traveled. Some emission factors are
quite reliable, being based on relatively precise empirical formulas involving
the various design or process parameters such as storage tank diameter, ambifent
temperature, or reactant concentrations. Most factors, however, are based
upon statistical averages of source test measurements or on process material
balances or mere engineering estimates of a given process.
Because most of the emission factors currently available for use were based
on a limited number of source test data at best, and in some cases not even
a single measurement, it is of great importance to improve and update these
factors as often as new or more reliable data from actual source tests become
available. The SOTDAT system was dweloped for this purpose. As of early 1975,
approximately 500 source tests, each one consisting of from three to five sep-
arate -4*runs," had been incorporated into the SOTDAT files. As the number of
source test results increases, the SOTDAT system will prove to be more and
more valuable in serving as the basis for the steady improvement of the reli-
ability of the NEDS emission factors. In addition the SOTDAT system provides
basic data for the calculation of emission factor precision (measured as
standard deviation). This is required in the emission inventory precision
analysis of the Source Inventory and Emission Factor Analysis System (SIEFA -
Section 3.1.0).
The SOTDAT output provides the following information relative to emission
factors for each stack test run:
• Measured emissions of a pollutant
• Plant process rate in the appropriate SCC units
• Fuel composition (% sulfur and % ash)

The Quality Assurance Information System (QAMIS) i» designed to store in-
formation on the quality control measures observed by agencies in their air
quality monitoring activities. This system provides a rating for each agency
in order to give an indication of the reliability of the air quality data gener-
ated by that agency's monitoring activities. This quality control information
should be utilized whenever SAROAD data are used, so as to establish the reli-
ability of projections and calculations that are based on SAROAD information.
The primary purpose of QAMIS is to evaluate existing procedures and to
aid in the effort to establish standards of quality control in all air monitor-
ing activities.

The State Implementation Plan System was designed to provide an automatic
procedure for referencing the rules and regulations of the various State imple-
mentation plans. The states are required, by Federal regulation, to have in
effect an "implementation plan" (SIP) that will ensure attainment of national
air quality standards. The primary thrust of the SIP is to enact regulations
designed to control emissions from known pollutant sources to the extent that
these air quality standards will be achieved and maintained.
A typical SIP includes specific information regarding (1) what pollutants
are controlled, (2) what geographical areas are affected, (3) what industries
are affected, (4) an assessment of current emission regulations, and (5) a
description and estimated impact of planned regulatory action on air quality.

Information available in the SIP's files, in conjunction with air quality
data available in the SAROAD files and an emissions inventory available in the
NEDS files, is useful in assessing the effectiveness of specific emissions regu-
lations. This can be accomplished by observing the historical trend of specific
pollutant levels (SAROAD) in relation to emission regulations specified in the
SIP* (SIP's) and the status of compliance to these regulations (NEDS). For ex-
ample, if concentration levels at a specific site decreased during a time when
emission reductions were achieved as a result of compliance to a specific set
of regulations, it is possible to credit the improvement in air quality to the
regulations (assuming that all other important variables remained constant or
changed in a manner such that the impact of that change is quantifiable). Re-
search leading to a quantifiable relationship between various degrees o'f com-
pliance to specific regulations and corresponding air quality improvement may
be of substantial value to states contemplating the enactment of similar regu-
lations.
A useful feature of SIP's allows a state to retrieve the text of all
existing regulations controlling emissions 'from any one of 21 types of sources
of a pollutant for all states. Information available in the text such as legal
authority requirements, general control strategy, etc., will provide some
guidance to other states in promulgating technically and politically feasible
regulations to control that pollutant.

The Federal Power Commission - Form 67 (FPC-67) is a compilation, collected
each year by the Federal Power Commission, of operating data from each of the
major power plants in the United States. Included with the FPC data for each
plant is an estimate of pollutant emissions for each of the criteria pollutants.
Because emissions from electric generation form a major part of a nation-
wide air pollutant- emission inventory, the FPC-67 data are important to the EPA
in assessing the impact of this source type and in evaluating control measures
for emissions from power plants. For example, where the impact of fuel short-
ages require consideration of conversion of power plants to less clean forms
of fuel (such as coal), it is necessary to carefully assess the adverse impact
on air quality of such a switch. The FPC-67 system provides all of the power
plant operating information that is required for such an assessment. The ap-
plication of diffusion modeling techniques, using these data, provides a sound
basis for assessing the impact 6f a fuel switch.
Another application of the FPC-67 data has been to utilize the boiler
design and operational data to relate combustion system characteristics to
emissions characteristics. The purpose of this work was to provide information
that may help direct future activities in emission control studies, source test-
ing, and emissions factor improvement. The two applications are discussed in
greater detail in the following sections.

model input data for the analysis of the air quality impact of fuel switching
alternatives at major electric generating facilities (e.g., coal conversion).
The detailed modeling approach employed in this analysis requires the following
input parameters—all available from the FPC-67 data system.
• Monthly fuel consumption
• Sulfur content of fuel
• Ash content of fuel
• Efficiency of particle collection and gas cleaning equipment
• Stack height
• Stack diameter
• Exit gas temperature (for different loading conditions)
• Exit gas velocity (for different loading conditions)
With representative meteorological data, diffusion model calculations may be
carried out to estimate S02 or particulate concentrations for a wide range
of receptor locations at various distances and headings from the power plant.
If actual measurement data exist for some of these locations, then a comparison
may be made between observed and calculated emissions for reported operating
conditions. This validation comparison may be made between the cumulative
frequency distributions of concentrations as measured and as predicted. If
sufficient data points are available, they may also be utilized to calibrate
the model for the particular conditions under study by a linear regression
of measured concentrations on the calculated concentrations (see Section
6.1.3). In any event, before carrying out a validation exercise, some
effort must be made to determine background concentration levels of the
pollutants in question and to subtract these levels from observed concen-
trations in order to isolate the effect of the plant under study. Generally,
background concentrations are sufficiently well estimated by averaging the
concentration observations gathered from those monitoring stations upwind
of the emission point.
Once the model has been suitably validated and calibrated, a new set of fuel
consumption data must be generated to reflect the fuel switchover alternatives.
The new fuel consumption figures will reflect equivalent generating capacity
to that reported in the FPC-67 system. Using the new source data as a basis
for plant emission rates, the calibrated model is then run to predict emission
levels due to the modified plant. These predicted emissions must be corrected
to include background concentrations, or if a calibration equation has been
generated, they must be modified by the calibration equation to provide
comparible estimates of air quality under the proposed switchover.

Because the FPC-67 system provides monthly fuel consumption information,
the modeling effort can be carried out using monthly or quarterly data in
order to estimate the seasonal variations in the impact of the power plant
emissions, and thus the fuel switching options can be evaluated on a
seasonal basis.

One recent application of the data compiled by the FPC-67 system has been to
relate emissions characteristics for conventional combustion systems to boil-
er type and boiler design characteristics. For this purpose, the FPC-67 file
was obtained in computer-readable form (tape), and the data contained therein
were categorized and summarized by the following classifications:
• Boiler size
• Furnace type
• Fuel(s) burned
• Firing patterns
• Fly ash reinjection (yes or no)
The information summarized in this classification included the following:
• Fuel consumption
• Steam and electric capacity
* Age
• Emissions
There are many areas in which EPA or other Federal, state, of local agencies
may use these data. For instance, NO emissions and control method effective-
ness appear to be related to boiler size, furnace type, and firing pattern.
Therefore, the Control System Laboratory of EPA may use the data to priori-
tize NO control research and development programs. Similiarly, particulate
emissions and control device performance are affected by furnace types and
the data summaries may help to plan testing and development efforts. Other
agencies or groups may use the summaries for emission factor improvements
(including trace elements), estimating effects of various fuel switching
strategies, and planning combustion technology research and development.

A number of auxiliary data files are maintained by the EPA, primarily as
base data sources for calculating and apportioning air pollution emissions, or
for recognizing possible point emission sources. Some of these files are main-
tained by the EPA; others are generated and updated by other agencies or organ-
izations and are purchased by the EPA for use in their activities.
The primary activity supported by the auxiliary files is the updating of
emission inventories for NEDS. In these activities, files such as census data
and Polk vehicle registration data are used to estimate and apportion area source
emissions. These applications are discussed in detail in the following sections.

An important step in maintaining the air quality in a region is to provide
an accurate inventory of sources and components of air pollution. This re-
quirement is provided for by the emission inventory of the National Emissions
Data System (NEDS). The identification of sources, pollutants, locations,
and quantities of emissions provide the initial step for a plan of action
for improving the air quality, and therefore the maintenance and updating
of this inventory is vital for the abatement of emissions and for monitoring
sources.
In order to insure that the data in the NEDS system are current and as correct
as possible, the Environmental Protection Agency requires all states to up-
date their emission inventory semi-annually. Any changes with respect to
existing point sources, such as process flow rates, stack data, control equip-
ment, etc., are to be incorporated into the semi-annual updates. Any new
point sources are to be reported in the updates using the NEDS point source
format. (See Section 2.1.I.e.)
Emissions from area sources (numerous sources too small to be considered
point sources) are to be estimated and updated using the best available
information. The area source form shown in Figure 2.1.1.f. is used in re-
porting this data.
Various auxiliary data files available from the EPA are a useful aid to an
agency in updating its emission inventory. Two examples of these applica-
tions are given below.
6.6.1.1 APPLICATION OF CENSUS DATA TAPES
The information available on the Census Data Tapes is used as a basis for
allocation of NEDS area source data. The census data may be used to appor-
tion emissions from the state level to the county level or, in conjunction
with emission factors, may be used to estimate emissions within the county.
Emissions from some area source categories are based on population and can be
calculated from population-based emission factors. Examples of these are
emissions from:
• Waste disposal - based on pounds of solid waste per urban person
per day
• Dry cleaning - based on pound of solvent evaporated per person
per year
• Surface coating - based on pounds of solvent evaporated per person
per year

In other cases, population information is required as a basis for apportion-
ing emission data down to the county level. If, for example, total re-
sidentilal fuel usage is known for the entire state, it will be necessary,
in order to complete the area source emissions inventory, to apportion that
total among the counties (area sources) within the state. A proper basis
for this apportionment is the census of housing. Thus housing census data
are us«'.d to divide the state total residential fuel usage among counties in
direct proportion to the number of residences within each county.
Other examples of emissions data that may be apportioned on the basis of
census information (provided accurate data are not otherwise available at the
county level) are the following:
* Railroad fuel use - apportioned by population on the assumption
that most rail operations take place within population centers.
• Commercial and institutional fuel use - apportioned by population
on the assumption that these activities take place in population
centers.
• Industrial fuel use - apportioned by manufacturing employment.
• Residential, commercial, institutional on site incineration -
apportioned by population.
• Motor vehicle gasoline use - apportioned by population if vehicle-
mile data or service station sales data are not available.
It should be noted that where more detailed apportioning may be required
(e.g., to a relatively fine grid system) the Computer Assisted Area Source
Emission Gridding Procedure (CAASE) can be used. This system utilizes
data from the census of population as a basis for allocating emissions
from the county level to an appropriate grid network.
6.6.1.2 APPLICATION OF POLK VEHICLE REGISTRATION DATA
To determine the extent of emissions generated from motor vehicle sources,
the number of light-duty (under 6,000 pounds gross weight) and heavy duty
(over 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight) vehicles is required. The Polk
Vehicle Registration Data contains the number of registered automobiles
and registered trucks by make and model year for the past 10 most recent
years. By using these data, it is possible to determine the vehicle "mix"
within a county. Based on the vehicle "mix," both gasoline and diesel
fuel can be apportioned to the county based on the total state consumption
of gasoline and diesel fuel.

The Polk data file can also be used to apportion evaporative emissions re-
sulting from the marketing of gasoline. Usually state figures are available
for the quantity of gasoline sold within a state. By using the number of
registered vehicles within a county, compared to the number of registered
vehicles in the state, county gasoline evaporative losses can be determined.
Polk vehicle mix data will also be used to calculate county-specific auto-
motive emission factors to be used to calculate area source emissions.

COMMENTS
There is one "dummy" point ('P') record at the beginning of each state
sequence on file and one at the end of the file. Its record key is '99000
000000000000000000' where the 99 is replaced by the state code. The first
record for each county vdthin a state is an area source; it can be followed
by cal$ number of point source records. This sequence is repeated for
each state until a dumuy record with a state number of 99 is reached;
this record indicates the end of file.
The first record in the file and for each state is a dummy record and con-
tains the date of creation. This record bpginsin position 36. The remain-
ing positions of the identification file contains-zeros allowing the
user -L,hru the COBOL 'start1 command, by later programs, to access the first
record and the following records for any state. The last record on NEDS-
USER -is a dummy point record that contains 99 for the state identification.

DESCRIPTION
Time of .occurrence of
SECOND-MAX (see
note 5'
Time of occurence of
MIN-VALUE (see note 6)
ns keys for: state(2), area(4), site(3), agency(l),
pollutant(S), method(2), interval (1), year(2) and
1 month(2); numbers in parentheses indicate the number of characters
for each code. In monthly, quarterly and yearly summary records
the 'month-code'
contains a 2-digit month number (01-12), quarter
number (01-04), or 00 respectively.
NOTE 2. Since the maximum possible number of 8-hour running average
values may be 6, 12, or ?4 (depending on sampling interval),
the value -1.0 is assigned to PERCENT-OBS when interval code
is Y or Z.
NOTE 3. Values are in descending magnitude; i.e., HI-VALUE (1) is the
largest, HI-VALUE (9) is the smallest of the 9 values. The
nine values are not necessarily unique; if the largest value
occurs 3 times, for example, then HI-VALUE (1) = HI-VALUE (2) =
HI-VALUE (3), and the time of occurrence (HI-VAL-TIME) are not
necessarily in chronologic order. . If fewer than 9 values are
present, the excess HI-VALUE items have the value -1.0.
NOTE 4. This item has the value -1.0 if a non-overlapping average value
cannot be found.
NOTE 5. Non-overlapping violations are those which occur at times separated
by at least the duration of the averaging interval.
NOTE 6. Times of occurrence consist of month, day and end-hour codes
(2-digits each), stored as FIELDATA (rather than ASCII). If
a time is undefined the time of occurrence field contains
FIELDATA zeros.
NOTE 7. In monthly and quarterly summary records, VALID-QTRS contains
zero and CRITERIA contains 'I1. In yearly summary records, VALID-
QTRS contains the number of quarterly suiraiary records present;
CRITERIA contains 'I' if all four quarters are present or blank

NOTE 1. SAROAD key contains keys for: state(2), area(4), site(3), agency(l),
project(2), pollutant(5), method(2), interval(l), year(2) and
month(2); numbers in parentheses indicate the number of characters
for each code. In monthly, quarterly and yearly summary records
the 'month-cede' contains a 2-digit month number (01-12), quarter
number (01-04), or 00 respectively.
NOTE 2. Since the maximum possible number of 8-hour running average
values may be 6, 12, or 24 (depending on sampling interval),
the value -1.0 is assigned to PERCENT-OBS when interval code
is Y or Z.
NOTE 3. Values are in descending magnitude; i.e., HI-VALUE (1) is the
largest, HI-VALUE (9) is the smallest cf the 9 values. The
nine values are not necessarily unique; if the largest value
occurs 3 times, for example, then HI-VALUE (1) = HI-VALUE (2) =
HI-VALUE (3), and the time of occurrence (HI-VAL-TIME) are not
necessarily in chronologic order. . if fewer than 9 values are
present, the excess HI-VALUE items have the value -1.0.
NOTE 4. This item has the value -1.0 if a non-overlapping average value
cannot be found.
NOTE 5. Non-overlapping violations are those which occur at times separated
by at least the duration of the averaging interval.
NOTE 6. Times of occurrence consist of month, day and end-hour codes
(2-digits _each), stored as FIELDATA (rather than ASCII). If
a t'ime is undefined the time if occurrence field contains
FIELDATA zeros.
NOTE 7. In monthly and quarterly summary records, VALID-QTRS contains
zero and CRITERIA contains '!'. In yearly summary records, VALID-
QTRS contains the number of quarterly surr.nary records p.-?scn-;
CRITERIA contains 'I' if all four quarters are present or blan!;
otherwise.

/
This item has a value of -1.0 (undefined) if:
a) sampling interval is less than 24 hours and % observations
is not greater than 75
b) sampling interval is 24 hours or greater and there is only
1 reported value.
The reporting units code is taken from the last record used in constr.
ing monthly summary records and frcm the first record used in construe
ing quarterly and yearly summary/records. All values in the summary
record are in standard units for each pollutant/method.
This item is meaningful in yearly summary records only, and indicates
the number of quarters during which criteria weremet regarding the
number of reported values. In monthly and quarterly summary records,
this item contains zero.
The "criteria flag" contains "1" if the sampling criteria for the
summarization interval (month, quarter, or year) are satisfied, or
contains a blank otherwise.

DATA ITEM NAME DESCRIPTION
NOTE 2. Since the maximum possible number of 8-hour running average values
may be 6, 12, or 24 (depending on sampling interval), the value
-1.0 is assigned to PERCENT-OBS when interval code is Y or Z.
NOTE 3. Values are in descending magnitude; i.e., HI-VALUE (1) is the largest,
HI-VALUE (9) is the smallest of the 9 values. The 9 highest run. avg.
necessarily unique; if the largest value occurs 3 times, for example,
then HI-VALUE (1) = HI-VALUE (2) = HI-VALUE (3), and the time of
occurrence (HI-VAL-TIME) are not necessarily in chronologic order. If
fewer than 9 values are present, the excess HI-VALUE items have the
value -1.0.
NOTE 4. This item has the value -1.0 if a non-overlapping average value cannot
be found.
NOTE 5. Non-overlapping violations are those which occur at times separated by
at least the duration of the averaging interval.
NOTE 6. Times of occurrence consist of month, day and end-hour codes (2-digits
each), stored as FIELDATA (rather than ASCII). If a time is undefined the
time of occurrence field contains FIELDATA zeros.
NOTE 7. In monthly and quarterly summary records, VALID-QTRS contains zero and
CRITERIA contains '!'. In yearly summary records, VALID QTRS contains
the number of quarterly summary records present; CRITERIA contains T if
all four quarters are present or blank otherwise.

NOTE 1. SAROAD key contains keys for: state(2), area(4), site(3), agency(l),
project(2), pollutant(5), method(2), interval(l), year(2) and month(2);
numbers in parentheses indicate the number of characters for each code.
In monthly, quarterly and yearly summary records the 'month-code'
contains a 2-digit month number (01-12), quarter number (01-04), or
00 respectively.
NOTE 2. Since the maximum possible number of 8-hour running average values mav
be 6, 12, or 24 (depending on sampling interval), the value -1.0 is
assigned to PERCENT-OBS when interval code is Y or Z.
NOTE 3. Values are in descending magnitude; i.e., HI-VALUE (1) is the largest,
HI-VALUE (9) is the smallest of the 9 values. The nine values are not
necessarily unique; if the largest value occurs 3 times, for example,
then HI-VALUE (1) = HI-VALUE (2_ = HI-VALUE (3), and the time of
occurence (HI-VAL-TIME) are not necessarily in chronologic order. If
fewer than 9 values are present, the excess HI-VALUE items have the
value -1 .0.
NOTE 4. This item has the value - 1.0 if a non-overlapping average value can-
not be found.
NOTE 5. Non-overlapping violations are those which occur at time separated
by at least the duration of the averaging interval.

NOTE 6. Times of occurrence consist of month, day and end-hour codes (2-digits
each), stored as FIELDATA (rather than ASCII). If a time is undefined
the time of occurrence field contains FIELDATA zeros.
NOTE 7. In monthly and quarterly summary records, VALID-QTP.S contains zero
and CRITERIA contains '!'. In yearly summary records, VALID-QTRS
contains the number of quarterly summary records present; CRITERIA
contains T if all four quarters are present or blank otherwise.

NOTE 1. SAROAD key contains key for: state(2), area(4), site(3), agency(l),
project(2), pollutants(5), method(2), interval(l). year(2) andmonth(2);
number in parenthesis indicates the number of characters for each code.
For composite data records, the 'month code1 contains the samplina
interval of the composited data and the period of compositing (1 char-
acter each). For monthly, quarterly and yearly summary records the
'month code' contains the month number (01-12), quarter number (01-04)
or 00, respectively.
NOTE 2. PERCENT-OBSERVATIONS is undefined for data samplied at 24-hour inter-
vals (interval code 7) and for 24-hour averages (interval code X)
and a value of -1.0 is entered.
NOTE 3. This item has value of -1.0 (undefined) if:
sampling interval is 24 hours or greater and there is only 1
reported value.
NOTE 4. The reporting units code is taken from the last record used in con-
structing monthly summary records and from the first record used in
constructing quarterly and yearly summary records. All values in the
summary record are in standard units for each pollutant/method.
NOTE 5. This item is meaningful in yearly summary records only, and indicates
the number of quarters during which criteria were met regarding the
number of reported values. In monthlv and quarterly summary records,
this item contains zero.
NOTE 6. The "criteria flag" contains "1" if the sampling criteria for the
summarization interval (month, cmarter, or year) are satisfied, or
contains a blank otherwise.

NOTE 2. Since the maximum possible number of 8-hour running average values may
be 6, 12, or 24 (depending on sampling interval), the value -1.0 is
assigned to PERCENT-OBS when interval code is Y or Z.
NOTE 3. Values are in descending magnitute; i.e., HI-VALUE (1) is the largest,
HI-VALUE (9) is the smallest of the 9 values. The nine values are not
necessarily unique; if the largest value occurs 3 times, for example,
then HI-VALUE (1) = HI-VALUE (2) = HI-VALUE (3), and the time of occur-
rence (HI-VAL-TIME) are not necessarily in chronological order. If
fewer than 9 values are present, the excess HI-VALUE items have the
value -1.0.
NOTE 4. This item has the value -1.0 if a non-overlapping average value cannot
be found.
NOTE 5. Non-overlapping violations are those which occur at times separated
by at least the duration of the averaging interval.
NOTE 6. Times of occurrence consist of month, day and end-hour codes (2-dioits
each), stored as FIELDATA (rather than ASCII). If a time is undefined
the time if occurrence field contains FIELDATA zeros.
NOTE 7. In monthly and quarterly summary records, VALDI-QTRS contains zero
and CRITERIA contains'I1. In yearly summary records, VALID-QTRS con-
tains the number of Quarterly summary records present; CRITERIA
contains '!' if all four quarters are present or blank otherwise.

ABSTRACT:
HISTOLD & HISTNEW are the QAMIS data file. HISTOLD is the old tape input to NA242.
NA042 updates HISTOLD and produces HISTNEW, the new data tape. HISTOLD is .input to
QAMR; which produces reports based on the data in the file.
USES:
HISTOLD & HISTNEW are used by NA042 to store QAMIS data to use as input to the NA242
Report Generating Program.

8.1.0.0 BACKGROUND
The NEDS point source coding form includes a one-column field on card 6
to depict the confidentiality status of all or part of the point source data
on NEDS cards 1 through 6. A number "1" in this field indicates that someone
(the state agency, the local agency, the source) considers the data to be pro-
prietary in nature and unsuitable for public release. The number "2", on the
other hand, indicates that the originator considers the data suitable for pub-
lic dissemination.
The original NADB collection effort in 1971-73 revealed that many states
desired that their data be treated as confidential; consequently, many point
sources in the NEDS data bank were coded as such into the NEDS system. (This
understanding was often necessary before the data could even be obtained from
the state files.) It must be emphasized that no official decision was neces-
sarily made on the true legal status of the data. Thus, a status of "confi-
dential" might have been assigned by a technician, engineer, or other person
inexperienced in law. In 1973, more than 2500 facilities contained in the
NEDS data bank had one or more emission points coded as "confidential."
Throughout 1972, 1973, and 1974, NADB worked with the Office of General
Counsel (OGC) to resolve the issue of confidential NEDS data. Although this
matter requires an official, legal determination for each individual source,
OGC has not taken any action as of July 1975.
Discussions with OGC, however, indicated the following:
1. EPA personnel (and presumably their contractors) can have access to
all NEDS data including "confidential" information.
2. In all liklihood, np_ NEDS data are truly proprietary under Federal
law. The only NEDS data that could possibly be a trade secret are
capacity and annual throughput.
3. EPA has the legal right to collect data essential for enforcement
of the Clean Air Act; this includes emissions and/or the technical
data required to calculate emissions.
4. Data contained in NEDS are subject only to the Federal Statute on
Trade Secrets, not state laws on the subject.

OGC also indicated that the most feasible way to resolve the issue would
be for an EPA legal representative to correspond directly with each facility
and require them to document any claim of proprietary NEDS data within 30 days.
In all liklihood, the great majority of facilities would not even respond; for
these sources, the status of the data could be reclassified as a code "2." As
of July 1975, the above procedure had not yet been initiated by either OGC or
the Regional Counsels.

8.2.0.0 NADB CODING POLICY REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL NEDS DATA
In addition to codes 1 and 2, NADB has authorized a code 3 to be assigned
to a NEDS point source. This code (not yet extensively used) reflects the
fact that OGC has determined that all or part of the NEDS data for that source
1s officially and legally a trade secret. This code may be assigned only
by the AEROS representative in each Regional Office only upon written statement
from the Regional Counsel. Upon such notification the AEROS contact makes
this change from code 1 to code 3 and also removes the confidential data
in accordance with established update procedures.
NEDS edit checks require that a code 1, 2, or 3 must be assigned to each
point source; data with a blank field are rejected. Thus, the NEDS data bank
is composed of the following:
Code 1: Data considered to be confidential by the originator but no
EPA documentation has been made.
Code 2: Public information.
Code 3: All data officially determined to be a trade secret have been
removed by the Regional Offices; thus the remaining TrTForiatTbn
is releasable to the public.

8.3.0.0. NADB REQUEST PROCEDURES FOR CONFIDENTIAL DATA
NADB has modified the NEDS report program to allow the following data
items to be deleted for point sources with a confidentiality code of "1".
1. Annual throughput
2. Production capacity
3. Emission estimation method
It should be emphasized that this is merely one report option and only
affects the complete and condensed point source listings. Thus two
separate point source listings are obtainable upon request:
1. A listing containing all data for all sources with codes of 1, 2,
and 3.
2. A listing containing all data for aJJ_ sources with codes 2 and 3
plus all data except throughput, capacity, and estimation method
for all sources with a code 1.
Report 1 is provided to EPA users with warnings that the listing may
contain proprietary data and should be safeguarded. Report 2 is provided to
non-EPA users, including requestors under the Freedom of Information Act,
with statements that certain data have been omitted from the listings
due to the question of confidentiality.
In the event of a request for point source listing by a non-EPA
user who'requests the entire information under the Freedom of Information
Act, the procedures for a determination of confidentiality according
to 40 CFR Part 2 should be formally initiated by the designated FIA
officer.

8.4.0.0 PROCEDURES TO CHANGE CONFIDENTIALITY STATUS FROM CODE 1 TO CODES 2 or 3
The objective is to minimize or eliminate the number of NEDS point sources
having a "code 1" confidentiality status. At the same time, such "code 1"
data should be in the NEDS system so that information is accessible to users.
NEDS data transmitted from the states to the Regional Offices are processed
through the terminal edit system; all sources with a blank space in the
confidential fields are automatically rejected and must be returned to the
originator for correction. Valid data are updated into NEDS. A point source
listing is then obtained for all sources having a code 1 and is given
to the Regional Counsel along with a request for a legal determination of
confidentiality. He then advises the AEROS contact (in writing) which data,
if any, art confidential under Federal statutes for a given source. The AEROS
representative either recedes the confidentiality status to a "code 2" or
deletes the proprietary data and recedes to a "code 3". A log should be kept
within the Regional Office showing the following items for each source
forwarded to Regional Counsel for determination of confidentiality:
1. Date provided to Regional Counsel
2. Date received by Regional Counsel
3. NEDS ID number
4. Action taken (e.g., recorded to Code 2 or Code 3?)
5. Confidential items deleted if any
These procedures are graphically presented in the following chart.

8.5.0.0 RATIONALE FOR NADB POLICY ON CONFIDENTIAL DATA
1. It is consistent with the position that there can be no privileged
and confidential information in the data, based on a pledge of confi-
dentiality to the states, since EPA may make no such pledge [40 CFR Part 2,
section 2.107a(b)(3)] in connection with information it is entitled by law
to demand (under section 114 of the act and 40 CFR 51.7); this is covered in
Chapter 8.1.0.0 of the draft procedures.
2. It holds that, the foregoing being correct, NADB is not required to
and will not set in place any security measures for data with a code 1.
NEDS/NADB uses code 1 as (a) the key to identify emission points in NEDS
for which it will set aside (omit from the computer printout of the emission
point data listing) certain data items as exempt from public disclosure
[40 CFR Part 2, Public Information, section 2.105(a)(4)] because they may
disclose trade secrets, and (b) the key for the initiation of the procedures
described in 40 CFR Part 2, sections 2.105(b) and 2.107a(a) for the making
of a determination of the trade secret status of the data.
3. It provides that security measures need be, and will only be taken
after trade secret status has been established, and that the data involved
should be removed from the data bank and appurtenances (other record con-
taining devices) because it would be virtually impossible to provide security
for the entire data system.
4. Consistent with the Regional Offices' other responsibilities for the
data, those offices are required to remove and maintain security for the
data determined to have trade secret status in simple manual files.

The Comprehensive Data Handling System (CDHS) was originally de-
veloped by FPA in response to state and local requirements for control-
ling atmospheric pollution. These agencies needed a data handling sytem
similar to, but on a smaller scale than the EPA system. A fraction of
the number of report capabilities available on the EPA system meet their
needs, and generally they utilize a smaller data base.
At present CDHS consists of three categories:
1. Air Quality Data Handling Subsystem-II (AQDHS-II)
2. Enforcement Management Subsystem (EMS)
3. Emissions Inventory Subsystem/Permit and Registration (EIS/P&R)
Each of these subsystems performs a function equivalent to one of
the EPA computer software systems. AQDHS-II can store and retrieve air
quality monitoring data and thus corresponds functionally to EPA's SAROAD
system. EMS, which corresponds functionally to the Compliance Data System
of EPA, can store and retrieve compliance data and also schedule enforce-
ment activities. EIS/P&R corresponds functionally to FPA's NEDS. This
system will store, retrieve, and maintain emissions data and data perti-
nent to permit and registration operations.
The file formats of the CDHS subsystems do not match those of the
corresponding EPA systems. The CDHS subsystems often provide state
and local authorities with information beyond what is offered by the EPA
subsystems. For example, in addition to the data reouired by NEDS, EIS/P&R
stores information such as plant telephone number, principal product, ex-
haust velocity, control equipment cost, etc.

In order to avoid placing upon state and local authorities the burden
of collecting data to satisfy both systems, CDHS was created with the
capability to convert its file formats to the input formats used by the
EPA systems. Thus, quarterly and semi-annual data can be submitted
directly from CDHS, expediting the flow of data into regional offices and
EPA. For example, FIS/P&R has the capacity to produce emissions data in
suitable format for updating the NEDS systems as well as to accept emis-
sions data created by NEDS for its own initial file creation. This
simplifies the procedures by which a state can meet the semi-annual
reporting requirements of NEDS while maintaining the currency of its own
data system.
The mutually supportive aspects of the CDHS subsystems and the corres-
ponding EPA systems offer many advantages to state and local agencies.
In addition, by installing CDHS on their own computers or on computers to
which they have access, state and local agencies avoid the substantial cost
involved in developing and maintaining duplicate computer software systems.

The Air Quality Data Handling Subsystem-II was created to provide a cen-
tral source from which information necessary to air pollution control might be
obtained. In order to accomplish this purpose, AQDHS-II needed to provide a
systematic method for collecting air quality control data into a data base, for
accessing and analyzing the information contained therein, and for printing
this information in usable form.
To this end, the basic AQDHS-II system consists of the following:
1. A file maintenance program that provides for the creation of a data
base, and for options to keep the information in that data base
current and useful.
2. A retrieval program that provides the means of extracting desired
information form the data base.
3. A program for performing statistical analysis on the data contained
in the data base.
4. A program for calculating sliding averages on the data contained in
the data base.
5. Three output-print programs with the ability to convert information
extracted from the data base into reader usable form.
In addition to the basic system outlined above, AQDHS-II contains several
preprocessor and postprocessor programs that make it compatible with files pro-
duced by the old AQDHS systems, the old AQDHS or SAROAD input transactions, and
the SAROAD system.
A more detailed discussion of the components of the basic AQDHS-II system
follows.

The data base created by the File Maintenance Program is called the
AQDHS-II Master File. The AQDHS-II Master File consists of records, each of
which is designed to contain all data related to a particular parameter collect-
ed at a specific test site. The records in the Master File differ somewhat in
format according to the time period they represent. The period of time repre-
sented by a record is determined by the interval at vhich the samples for
that record were taken. A record representing one day's worth of data results
from a sampling interval of less than 24 hours; one representing a month's
worth of data results from a daily or weekly sampling interval; and one repre-
senting a year of data from a monthly or quarterly sampling interval. Composite
data may also be stored. Composite readings may represent either weekly, monthly,
quarterly, or a full year's worth of data.
The input card formats are presented in Figure 9.1.1.a. Format 1 is used
to enter readings taken at less than daily intervals. Formats 2 and 3 are used
for all other readings. Readings for multiple parameters are entered in Format
2. Readings from multiple stations are entered in Format 3. Composite data
are entered in Format 2. The corresponding SAROAD input format is shown on
each load sheet.
The formats for the various file maintenance transactions are presented
in Figure 9.1.1.b.

An AQDHS-II retrieval specification statement may be written in one
of three language forms: AQDHS-II retrieval language, inline COBOL lang-
uage, or copied COBOL language. Each of these language forms allows the
user the option of restricting the retrieval requested by using a string
of conditional statements. The Boolean operators AND and OR may be used
to connect these conditional statements. The subject field of one of
these conditional statements may be any valid data field in an AQDHS-II
master file record whose contents is to be tested or a literal to be

compared against the object field. Likewise the object field of one
of these conditional statements may be any valid data field or literal
to be compared. The following relations may be used:

As an example of the use of the retrieval language specifications
described above, consider the following series of retrieval commands
which specify records with required sets of parameter, method, and unit
codes.
$$SELECT
(PARAMETER-CODE = 'TIIOV

These retrieval specification cards are then processed by the system to

9.1.3.1 DETAILED LIST REPORT
The Detailed List Report produces a detailed, formatted listing of the data
contained in the AQDHS-II master file or the retrieval answer file. The for-
mat of this report varies according to the sampling interval of the data con-
tained in the records being processed. The sampling interval may represent an
hourly (or multiples thereof), daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or composite
period. The readings for each interval and the number of such readings are
always included in the report. In addition, the user may elect to produce
either a mean or sum report. In the mean report, the number of readings, the
mean reading, and the maximum reading for each line and column are also printed.
In the sum report, the number of readings and the sum of the readings for each
line are printed.
9.1.3.2 SLIDING AVERAGE REPORT
The Sliding Average Report presents the readings contained in each record
in the AQDHS-II master file or answer file, along with the sliding averages of
these readings. Also printed are the number of readings and the mean and maxi-
mum values of the readings. When specified, the sum of the readings is printed
rather than their mean and maximum values. The number of readings in each aver-
age is specified by the user. Readings for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or
quarterly periods may be used. Composite data readings are excluded.
9.1.3.3 DATA ANALYSIS/STATISTICAL LIST PROGRAMS
The Data Analysis/Statistical List program set presents the following
statistical information for data contained in the AQDHS-II master file:
Minimum and maximum observations
Second and third highest observations
Arithmetic mean
Arithmetic standard deviation
Geometric mean
Geometric standard deviation
Percentage of readings present
10th, 30th, 50th, 70th, 90th, 95th, 97th, 98th, and 99th percentile oc-
curence '
Composite data are not acceptable as input for this program set. A
heading consisting of agency, state, project, standards, etc. is printed.

The Emissions Inventory Subsystem/Permits and Registration Subsystem (EIS/P&R)
was created to provide a central source from which information necessary to air
pollution control might be obtained. In order to accomplish this purpose, EIS/
P&R contains a systematic method for collecting emission data into a data base,
for updating and accessing the information contained in the data base, and for
printing this information in usable form.
The File Maintenance and Retrieval programs form the nucleus of the EIS/P&R.
The File Maintenance Program may be employed to create a new master file or
update an existing master file. Each record contained on the master file is
broken into three hierarchical segment types dealing with plant, point source,
and machine process and/or permit and registration information. The master
file is developed from the data contained on EIS/P&R point and area source
transaction cards, which can either be punched from EIS/P&R load sheets or
generated from NEDS data by means of a conversion program. Because permit
and registration information may vary significantly from one agency to the
next, the P&R data are recorded on the Master File in free format. This for-
mat also allows the user to store other types of information, such as that re-
sulting from legal and surveillance activities. The File Maintenance Program
requires two input files, the first containing the master file to be updated
and the second containing the transactions that have been arranged in Master
File sequence by means of a sorting program. One column on each transaction
card is used to indicate whether a new file is to be added or an existing file
is to be deleted or changed.
The data base created by the File Maintenance Program is called the EIS/P&R
master file. The EIS/P&R master file is a three-level heirarchical file with
three different segment types. The highest level segment is the plant segment.
Subordinate to each plant segment are a maximum of 99 point source segments.
Point sources are individual emission points in a plant, such as stacks with-
in a given plant. Subordinate to each point source segment are up to six pro-
cess segments. Each process segment describes a source classification or pro-
cess emitting through a given point source. Each segment type on the master
file has its own format consisting of various data fields. Each data field is
related directly to a data field on one of the EIS/P&R input transaction cards.
Just as these are three different segment types in the master file, there are
three classes of input transaction cards. The 01 through 03 cards contain
general plant identification, cards 11 through 13 the point source parameters,
cards 21 through 23 the fuel and process parameters, and card 30 the permit and
registration information. Figure 9.2.0.a shows the format of the EIS/P&R input
transaction cards, and illustrates the type of information stored in the EIS/
P&R master file.

The EIS/P&R Retrieval Program is more complex than the File Maintenance Program
because of the greater number of options that must be accommodated. The first
step in the retrieval procedure is the actual generation of a retrieval program
based upon control cards inserted in the job stream. The "SORT" control card
determines the field which is to be sorted and the order of the sort. The EIS/
P&R retrieval language, containing a number of different relational operations,
may then be employed to allow the retrieval of a selected set of data. This
retrieval language used in the EIS/P&R system is similar to that used in the
other CDHS subsystems. The user also has the option of specifying his own re-
trieval commands in COBOL rather than using the special retrieval language.
The EIS/P&R Summary Program can be used on the master file or a retrieval master
file. Summations may be generated for the following quantities: source count,
estimated emissions, actual emissions, allowable emissions, and control equip-
ment cost. Up to five levels (e.g., SIC, county, etc.) may be specified for
the summary report with the order of the summary levels determined by the "SORT"
command used in the Master File Sort Program.
In addition to the programs just discussed, the EIS/P&R subsystem contains several
programs that provide largely service functions. These include routines for
NEDS to EIS/P&R emission conversion, emission factor table generation, formatted
master file listing, transaction sorting, transaction generation, and emission
factors insertions.

The master file sort program can be used to sort all fields
referenced in an EIS/P&R retrieval specification statement. They may
be sorted either in ascending or descending order.
An EIS/P&R retrieval specification statement may be modified either
by subordinate EIS/P&R fixed format clauses or by a short COBOL program.
Regardless of the method employed, the result is to restrict the retrie-
val requested by using a string of conditional statements. For example,
the restrictions that data will be retrieved only if the state code is
greater than 40 or if the code is less than 10 may be imposed. In
general, any data field name acceptable for retrieval may be used as

The File List program produces a detailed, formatted listing of
the EIS/P&R master file. One point source record is listed per page
with an appropriate plant/location heading. If the plant has more than
one point source, the plant/location heading is repeated for each point
source page.
The File List program can also produce a detailed listing of area
source records, but in this case the page headings will be meaningless.
The Summary Report program produces a summary of emissions for any
combination of five data fields in the point and stack data. Because
emissions are by pollutant, one of the five fields chosen should be
the pollutant data field unless the user chooses to identify the pol-
lutant in the Summary Report Header. Subtotals may be printed for each
of the data fields up to the pollutant data field. The Summary Report
program can be used in conjunction with the EIS/P&R Retrieval and SORT
programs so that only retrieved data from the Master File is sorted to
correspond to the summary requested and is the input file to the summary
program. The following data values are summarized:
1. Source Count - This is a sum of sources emitting a pollutant.
2. Estimated Emissions - This is a sum of estimated emissions.
3. Actual Emissions - This is a sum of actual (measured) emissions.
4. Allowable Emissions - This is a sum of allowable (standard)
emissions.
5. Control Equipment Cost - This is a sum of the cost for the
control equipment.

As an example, the Summary Report program may produce a summary
of emissions by plant within SIC within city within county for a given
pollutant. Subtotals at the plant, SIC, city, and county levels may
be printed in addition to pollutant totals.
The program allows the user flexibility in choosing a heading for
the Summary Report. The default heading is:
AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS SUMMARY
EMISSIONS INVENTORY SYSTEM ' FROM AIR POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
STANDARD SUMMARY OUTPUT TO INFORMATION
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE
A Summary Report can be temporary or permanent. A permanent
report is one stored in a library to be used over and over again.

16. ABSTRACT
Volume III of the AEROS Manual describes and illustrates the reporting and
analysis capabilities of the various AEROS systems. The reports available
from each of the major systems are described and their retrieval options are
explained. This manual also describes the user access procedures for obtaining
AEROS reports. Standard publications of NADB for providing quarterly or annual
information on emissions and air quality are described. Specific examples of
applications of AEROS data, and the use of AEROS reports are described. The
manual also gives an overview of the Comprehensive Data Handling System (COHS),
which is an AEROS-related system for storing and reporting air quality and
emissions data.
