This chapter provides a brief description of the background of IDEA, its intended
use, and the basic features of the IDEA User's Guide.
Sections:
1.1 Background of the IDEA System

1.3 Summary
1.1 Background of the IDEA System
The Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) System has been developed
in response to an identified need for integrated data on facilities that may be involved
in EPA enforcement or compliance actions. Historically, data systems within EPA
program offices were developed to manage data related to the individual programs
and associated legislation. In most cases, these data systems were developed without
any central coordination. As a result, the data management systems in the program
offices operate on different hardware platforms and software environments. Agency
standards for identifying facilities by name, location, or identification number either
did not exist, or were not actively enforced. Often the individual program offices
tracked data on the same facilities without an easy way to cross-reference or link the
data.
The General Accounting Office (GAO) and the EPA Inspector General (IG) noted the
need for the Agency to be able to link facility data across all EPA program office
databases. This deficiency was also identified by EPA's top management as an
Office of Enforcement material weakness under the Federal Managers Financial
Integrity Act (FMFIA). At a meeting of the Enforcement Management Council of
EPA in early 1990, the Council members began the strategic planning process to
develop multi-media approaches to environmental problems.
To support the multi-media approach to the analysis of environmental problems, the
EPA Headquarters Office of Enforcement designed the IDEA System to retrieve data
about facilities across program office databases. For example, the Agency can more
easily target inspection resources where they are likely to be needed most if
integrated data are available on air quality, water quality, solid and hazardous waste,

-------
toxic substances, and EPA enforcement actions for specific facility locations. If EPA
is initiating an enforcement action on ' rater quality, data on other media and other
actions will help to define and possiblj
expand the current enforcement action.
IDEA was developed to assist enforcement personnel as a preliminary screening
device and an aid to targeting facilities for enforcement initiatives. IDEA can be
employed for numerous tasks. Hie following are examples of the types of assistance
IDEA offers:
• Enforcement Case
Identify the Multi-Media Enforcement Profile for a specified facility
or company.
• Case Development
• Litigation Support
• Settlement Negotiations
• Enforcement/Inspection [Targeting:
Identify compliance monitoring/enforcement candidates for an
industry-specific enforcement initiative.
Identify compliance mon itoring/enforcement candidates for a discharge

1.2 Purpose of the User's Guide
The IDEA User's Guide is intended to
Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) by
building queries, retrieving data, and c
aid and instruct users of Integrated Data for
explaining procedures for accessing the system,
totaining and understanding reports.
1-2
The User's Guide is organized to lead you step by step through using and
understanding the system. Chapters 1 through 3 provide background information on
IDEA that is necessary for understanding how IDEA operates and how to access it.
Chapters 4 through 9 provide detailed information on IDEA'S query building tools.
These chapters on query building are modular in design so users can find enough

basic information in each to go from start to finish without having to refer to other
sections of the manual. Chapters 5, 9, and 10 were designed to give users more
detailed information on managing libraries, the ISPF editor, and IDEA Standard
Reports, respectively. IDEA users will need to refer to the appendices for access and
security procedures, detailed information on database descriptions, data elements used
by IDEA, and error messages.
1.3 Summar\
IDEA was developed in response to a defined need for data integration across various
EPA program office databases. This integration is essential for a multi-media
approach to the analysis of environmental problems.
This manual is designed to facilitate the use of IDEA by new and experienced users.
It contains detailed information on IDEA'S design features, query building, and IDEA
reports.

2.5 Summary
2.1 What is a Query ?
By definition, a query is a question. In IDEA, queries are the means by which you
can access vast amounts of information. After you form a query, IDEA goes to work
retrieving information and returns it to you in the form of an IDEA report.
When you construct an IDEA query, you select the criteria that IDEA will use for
its search. While choosing parameters for your query, keep in mind that the data
accessed by IDEA are organized by facility. This arrangement allows you to search
for a facility according to its name, location, the chemicals it releases, and other
criteria available in the linked IDEA databases.

questions:

• What criteria are integral to the search?
• What criteria can be used to help narrow the search?
A little forethought in the formation of your queries can help you to retrieve the
information you need in a useful repoijt. The following sections illustrate the way
IDEA collects data. Each section includes explanations designed to give you an
understanding of how to perform searches and effectively retrieve data from IDEA.

you to retrieve facility data according to any criteria in the 12 program office
databases that are indexed by IDEA. Thus, you can form very specific and detailed
queries. However, to use the Keyword] Interface effectively you must understand the
command syntax and possess some knowledge of the program office databases
accessible through IDEA.

When analyzing data retrieved by IDEA, it is important to understand that the
data come from copies of the program office databases. Although the Office
of Enforcement updates these copies monthly, some data may be out of date.

IDEA
-------
The intersection represents those facilities that are current Significant Noncompliers
and Violators in all three databases. IDEA, allows you to retrieve facility data on the
intersection. To get the same information without using IDEA, you would have to
retrieve the noncompliers from each database separately and compare the three lists
to determine the common set of facilities. Searching each program office database
for a multi-media targeting effort becomes difficult to manage beyond two or three
databases. IDEA provides rapid access to integrated data from multiple EPA
program office databases.
There are three data retrieval (or input) options available to you in IDEA.
•
•
•
Linked
Nonlinked
Linked nonlinked
If you choose the linked option, IDEA will attempt to integrate facility data selected
from multiple EPA databases using the Facility Index System (FINDS) as a cross-
referencing mechanism. However, if you specify nonlinked data, IDEA will retrieve
data on facilities within each program office database that is relevant to your query
without any attempt to integrate the data from the different sources. In linked
nonlinked queries, IDEA selects facilities that meet query criteria in the different
databases then it attempts to link facilities using FINDS but also reports on the
facilities that were not in FINDS.
The data retrieval process is explained below in the context of an example query that
will report on facilities that are:
« RCRA Generators
AND
• PCS Major Dischargers
AND
• Located in Maine (FINDS)
2.3.1 Initial Facility Selection
IDEA searches each database in turn and retrieves the "local" IDs (IDs native to the
databases) of facilities that match the query criteria. When the example above is run,
IDEA searches RCRIS, PCS, and FINDS for facilities that are Generators, Major
Dischargers, and located in Maine respectively. See Figure 2-2 for an illustration of
this step.

Nonlinked queries ignore FINDS. When the example query is run as a
nonlinked query, IDEA does nolt search the FINDS database. Since there is
no mechanism for comparing these facilities without FINDS, Boolean

Process does not pertain to nonjinked queries.
2.3.2 Integration Process
When IDEA integrates facility data, a tjvo step process is involved. Once IDEA has
gathered the local IDs for the facilities selected in linked and linked nonlinked
queries, it uses FINDS to locate EPA HJ>s for them. Then IDEA applies the Boolean
connectors for the query. If the example query were run linked or linked nonlinked,
IDEA would use FINDS to locate the EPA IDs for the facilities selected from RCRIS
and PCS (the FINDS facilities already! have EPA IDs) then it would compare the
facilities to find which ones met all of the query criteria. In order to meet all of the
query criteria, a facility would have to be a RCRA Generator AND a PCS Major
Discharger AND be located in Maine| according to FINDS. Refer to Figure 2-3
below.

Note:
FINDS serves dual purposes in IDEA.. As a database, it is searched when
part of the query criteria has to do with the location of a facility. In linked
and linked nonlinked queries, it is also used as a cross-referencing mechanism
to locate the EPA IDs of facilities selected from other databases.
2.3.3 Query Status
At this point, IDEA will display the QUERY STATUS SCREEN (see Figure 2-4)
which shows the number of facilities found that match the query. Although the
content generally remains the same, the appearance of this screen differs for linked,
nonlinked, and linked nonlinked queries.

Because IDEA only reports on facilit.es that are in FINDS for this type of query,
linked queries generate a QUERY STATUS SCREEN that shows the number of

was searched. "Counts" is the number of
facilities that matched the query criteria for that database but were not selected
because they are not linked in FINDS- For example, 598 facilities that are Major
Dischargers in PCS were excluded frojn the number of facilities that will be reported
on because they are not in FINDS. Although linked queries do not report on
facilities that are not in FINDS, you cz n get reports on these facilities by running the
query linked nonlinked. The "percentages" (noted in parentheses to the right of the
2-8
IDEA
-------
number of counts) indicate the percentage of the facilities that met the query criteria
but were excluded due to poor FINDS links. Eight percent of the facilities that are
Major Dischargers in PCS were excluded from the query because they were not in
FINDS. The 598 facilities that were excluded make up eight percent of the total
number of facilities in PCS that matched the criteria for that database.
2.3.3.2 Nonlinked Queries
Nonlinked queries ignore FINDS; therefore, the QUERY STATUS SCREEN for these
queries simply displays the total number of facilities that were selected and the
"counts" or number selected from each program office database. Because these
queries do not attempt to integrate facility data, nonlinked queries select more
facilities than the other query types. When the example query is run nonlinked,
279,446 facilities are selected as opposed to 80S for linked and a total of 2371 (those
in FINDS and not in FINDS) for linked nonlinked.
2.3.3.3 Unked Nonlinked Queries
Since these queries are combinations of linked and nonlinked queries, the QUERY
STATUS SCREEN for them shows the number of facilities selected that are in FINDS
(line 1) and not in FINDS (line 2) as well as the counts and percentages for each
database that was searched (lines 5 to 8).
2.3.4 Detailed Data Retrieval
Before presenting you with a report containing data on the facilities selected from the
query, IDEA must first retrieve the data. The amount of work IDEA has done up
to now is small in comparison to the work it will do in the next step when it performs
the detailed data retrieval. This process differs for Unked, nonlinked, and Unked
nonlinked queries.

-------
2.3.4.2 Nonlinked Queries
Figure 2-5, Detailed Data Retrieval does not apply to nonlinked queries. Because
these queries ignore FENDS entirely, IDEA retrieves data on the facilities from the
program office databases searched in the query - one at a time. If the example
query were run nonlinked, the initial facility selection would take place, as illustrated
in Figure 2-2, then the report data would be retrieved separately for the facilities
selected from RCRIS and PCS.
2.3.4.3 Linked Nonlinked Queries
In the case of linked nonlinked queries, IDEA retrieves data on facilities that meet
the query criteria and would be selected by a linked query (i.e., are in FINDS) then
the ones that would have been excluded from the linked query (i.e., are not in
FINDS). For the facilities selected by the linked portion, the detailed data retrieval
looks like Figure 2-5. IDEA pulls report data up from each of the databases that are
linked to the facility in FINDS whether or not these databases were part of the query.
It groups the data retrieved in this part by facility. For the nonlinked facilities,
IDEA only retrieves data from the program office databases that were searched in the
query — one at a time. Data reported from this section are grouped by database.
2.4 Data Aiuilvsis Considerations
It is important to keep in mind that IDEA has been designed primarily to provide
factual information to experienced enforcement personnel for enforcement targeting,
case screening, case development, litigation support, and settlement negotiations.
Because each program office database management system is unique, knowledge of
statutory provisions, program definitions, and data relationships as well as sound
professional judgement are essential to interpret accurately the information that is
retrieved.
It is very easy to misinterpret the information obtained through IDEA. The data
accessed by IDEA are useful subsets of information on each program's performance.
To arrive at accurate conclusions about performance, however, one must rely on
nonautomated information, such as discussions with appropriate EPA Headquarters,
regional enforcement program, and state personnel. The automated data systems

3.1.3 Hardware/Software Considerations
To communicate with the IBM mainframe computer at the NCC, you must have one
of the following:
• IBM 3270 or compatible terminal
• DEC VT100 that can emulate an IBM 3270 full screen terminal
• Personal computer with software that can emulate one of these terminals.
Communication may be through a long distance, high-speed link that is connected
directly to the mainframe or through a modem connection established by dialing into
the mainframe through a telephone line. IDEA cannot be accessed with a TTY
(teletype) terminal.
As part of setting up your NCC account, your ADP Coordinator or EPA contact, can
assist you in establishing a communications link to the NCC. If you have questions
about the telecommunications link to the NCC, call the NCC User Support at one of
the numbers listed in Section 3.1.
3.1.3.1 PC on a LAN Using the SNA Gateway
Most EPA personnel use a personal computer (PC) attached to a Local Area Network
(LAN) to access the NCC. Most LANs go through the SNA Gateway to access
EPA's mainframe. Because each LAN can be configured differently, contact your
local LAN Administrator should you need assistance. The following are general
instructions for gaining access to the mainframe.
1. From the AUTOMAXX WORKSTATION MENU SCREEN select the
COMMUNICATIONS option by pressing the Function (F) key associated
with this option.
2. From the COMMUNICATIONS MENU SCREEN select the 3270
EMULATION or MAINFRAME/3090 ACCESS option by pressing the
Function (F) key associated with this option.
3. From the 3270 EMULATION SCREEN or MAINFRAME/3090 ACCESS
SCREEN select the MOD 2 -SCREEN SIZE - 24 x 80 option by pressing the
Function (F) key associated with this option.

A hardwired terminal is a terminal thkt is linked directly to the EPA mainframe.
Specifically, your terminal is connected with direct-line cables and a full-screen
session is already established. A hardwired terminal does not require dialing through
the telephone lines or using the AUTOMAXX WORKSTATION MENU to access the
NCC. To establish the link:

Refer to Section 3.2 Logging on to EPA's Mainframe for additional instructions.
3.1.3.3 PC or Video Terminal with Modem
Dial-up terminals, often called line terminals, can be linked to the EPA mainframe
in a variety of ways. The common denominator is the modem which requires you
to dial a telephone number before the link is complete.
Modems are the dialing hardware which link the telephone line to your terminal.
Getting your modem's "attention" through your keyboard may require help from
someone at your site who is familiar with your modem and terminal. Along with the
modem, you need some type of telecommunications software (for example, Crosstalk
or Kermit).
Since there is a wide variety of communications packages and modems that can be
used, you should refer to your hardware/software documentation for specific
instructions. There are, however, some general guidelines that apply to all types of
communication with the EPA mainframe:
• You may dial-up at either 1200, 2400 or 9600 baud.
• Your communication software should emulate a VTlOO-type terminal.
• Communication parameters should be 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity and
full duplex.
You must now determine what telephone number you must dial for access. If your
local sources do not have this information, call the National Computer Center,

Keyboard Mappings
The keys used to perform program functions are not always the same from one
computer to the next because of the type of connections used to link a terminal with
the mainframe. This means that if your computer connects to the mainframe via
SNA Gateway, its keyboard mapping will be different from one that uses Crosstalk.
3.3.1 Program Function (PF) Keys
Program Function (PF) keys are a shortcut for entering commands. For IBM 3270
Model Terminals, there are 24 keys that are mapped to perform specific functions.
The Function (F) keys on Personal Computers are usually mapped to correspond to
the IBM Mainframe 3270 PF key mapping. The following table (Table 3-2) shows
the default key command and description for both IBM 3270 terminals (PF keys) and
most Personal Computers (F keys) with a LAN connected to the SNA Gateway.
Table 3-2 contains the same information for computers using Crosstalk and Kermit
instead of SNA Gateway.

To choose a category, use < Tab > to move the cursor so that it is to the
left of the category name, then type S ("select") followed by < Enter >.
This sequence is used whenever you want to make a selection from the
IDEA. Menu.
After you choose a category, a new screen will pop up in front of the original MAIN
MENU SCREEN shown in Figure 4-3. The following sections will provide you with
a detailed description of each of the six query-building categories and their pop-up
windows. Since the procedure is basically the same for all six categories, a
step-by-step presentation will only be given for Location. Sections 4.2.3 through
4.2.7 provide details regarding the other five categories.
4.2.2 Location Category
Let's say that you want to find all the EPA-regulated facilities in a certain geographic
area. Since you will be targeting your search geographically, your first choice would
be to choose the Location category.
1. To begin, move the cursor over the underscore mark to the left of the
Location entry using < Tab >. Type S then press < Enter >.
To select a Menu category, use to move the cursor over the

The easiest way to include a county code in your query is to use < Tab > to
move the cursor to the left of the county you are choosing (remember: PF7
scrolls the page up and PF8 scrolls the page down). Type S. IDEA will
automatically enter the county code into your query.
Now you may choose a second county for your query. Let's say that you
want to expand your search to include Clear County, Colorado. Move the
cursor next to Clear County and type S; you now have a two-county search.

At this point, you have formed a complete query that you can run to receive data or
you can combine this query criterion with information from the other five categories
to perform a more detailed search. See Section 4.4 to run the query.
Note:
Be as specific as possible when constructing your query. This will help you
to avoid a search that turns up hundreds or thousands of facilities. Since in
our example you are looking for all EPA-rcgulated facilities in a certain
location, you should be as specific as possible about the geographic area you
search.
When using the Location Category, the IDEA system will conduct its search
according to the largest geographical entity that you enter in the Location pop-up
window. In technical terms, the computer is performing what is known as a
"Boolean OR" by considering each criterion separately and then summing the
facilities retrieved by the search. The map of EPA Region 8 shown in Figure 4-7
illustrates the IDEA logical operating mechanism.

4.4.1.3 Linked Nonlinked
You can combine linked and nonlinked in your query to get both integrated and
nonintegtated data. Type an S next to both linked and nonlinked and you will receive
each type of information in a separate section of the report. The first section will
contain those facilities that meet all your selection criteria and are linked using
FINDS. The second section will consist of the facilities that meet your criteria within
each of the particular databases but have not been linked using FINDS. Data in the
first section will not be repeated in the second.
U^» Since nonlinked data was retrieved from different individual data systems,
you can not select Report Summary for your output.
Note that all the facilities in the second section were selected because they fulfill only
the criteria that pertain to a particular database and could not be linked using FINDS.
For example, if you form such a query looking for facilities that are violators of both
the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act, the non-linked part of the report will
contain all air violators and, separately, all water violators. Since FINDS does not
provide the link, you will have to manually correlate the facilities in order to obtain
integrated data.
4.4.2 Input and Report Selection Screen: Choosing Reports
After choosing a linked or nonlinked query, IDEA asks you to select a report format.
As you can see in Figure 4-16, there are currently four choices available to you: 1 A,
IB, 2, or Summary. Short descriptions of the formats are given in Figure 4-17

4.6 Sum man
This chapter describes the IDEA Menu Interface. The Menu Interface is the simplest
means of retrieving information with IDEA. The convenient pop-up windows allow
you to form queries according to your search criteria from different databases
integrated by IDEA.
The Menu Interface has six categories: Location, Pollutants, Industry,
Noncompliance, Enforcement, and Facility Status. These six categories are used to
direct your query. Based on the purpose of your search and the information you may
have and/or you want to get, you can easily retrieve the data and build an efficient
query.
You can manage your queries using commands of CLEAR, SAVE, RUN, or
RETRIEVE, which are located at the bottom left of the MAIN MENU SCREEN.
Simply by selecting one or more of these commands, you will be able to run, save,
retrieve, or even clear your query.

two numbers of the year, two numbers for the month and two numbers for the day.
For instance, June 15, 1993 would be written 930615. The date is followed by the
time, which is in 24-hour format. The DESCRIPTION category allows you to give
a brief summary of the contents of each query. The user ID of the person who last
modified the query is displayed under the ID heading.
The MEMBER LIST SCREEN (see Figure 5-2), is a catalogue of entries in the library

6.1 Introduction to GO Names
GO Names is a utility that allows you to form a query based on small bits of
information such as the facility name, state, county, EPA region, or ZIP code. This
utility is a Keyword function since it is accessed through the Keyword Interface and
the queries generated with it may be modified in the ISPF Editor (the EDIT
SCREEN). Its name searching feature uses an algorithm which recognizes consonant
character strings in the facility name, case name, defendant name, PRP (Potentially
Responsible Party) name, and available alias names from each of the program office

is where you will build and store your queries. The next few paragraphs describe
how to manage libraries. For a more detailed treatment of this subject refer to
Chapter 5, Managing Libraries.
Once you choose the Keyword Interface from the INTERFACE SELECTION

The library name shown in Figure 6-1 is a default name that IDEA provides based
on your TSO prefix. The first three letters are your user ID; the second four letters
are your NCC account number. IDEA default libraries have the extension

-------
You may enter the name of a specific facility (e.g., Schlage Lock Company). If you
want information about a specific facility but can only remember part of the name,
enter the word(s) that you know. GO Names can still help because it will search for
all facilities that contain the word(s) you enter (e.g., Schlage or Lock).
To form a query according to facility name alone, take the following steps:
1. Use or the arrow keys to move the cursor to the right of the NAME
prompt.
2. Enter the name that you want IDEA to search for, and press < Tab >.
3. Type ANY at the WORDS REQUIRED (ALL/ANY) prompt if you want
IDEA to find facilities whose names match with ANY of the words you enter.
ALL is the default and will instruct IDEA to search for facility names that
match with all the words you have entered.
If you type ANY, GO Names will search for each word separately, performing what
is known as a Boolean OR. In other words, choosing ANY tells IDEA to retrieve
the names of those facilities which have any of the chosen words in their titles. If
you enter Schlage Lock and select ANY, IDEA will list those facility names that
include either word: Schlage OR Lock. If, on the other hand, you decide to select
ALL words (or leave it as the default), GO Names will only retrieve facility names
that contain all the chosen words. In this case, IDEA puts a Boolean AND between
the words. Using our example again, if you chose the ALL option you would only
get facilities with both the words Schlage AND Lock in their titles.
H^» Once you have typed in the facility names you want IDEA to search for,
press < Enter >; IDEA will run your name search.
See Section 6.3, Managing Queries in the ISPF Editor Mode to learn how to return
the list of names to the editor.
6.2.2 Searching for Facilities by Location
The GO Names function builds a keyword query for you (based on the IDEA/FINDS
ID number) for those facilities that meet your selection criteria. While the GO
Names function is typically used to select facility records based on their name, it can
be used to create a query which will select all facilities in a specified geographic
area. This can be useful for looking at all facilities in a small geographic area and
if you wish to view and/or edit the facility name data prior to running the query.
User's Guide
6-7
-------
Hie keyword queiy which IDEA generates is based on the EPA ID Number, and can
provide one or more lines of informatjion per facility. Because of this construction,
queries based solely on geographic parameters can be rather lengthy. Therefore, the
GO Names function is not recommended for generating geographic queries beyond
the 23P code level without also specifying a facility name.
To begin a location search, use the adow keys or press < Tab > to place the cursor

After you are satisfied with your entries, press the < Enter > key to ran

6,2.3 Searching for Facilities by Name and Location
Probably the most common use of the GO Names function is the combination of the
previous two sections: specifying both a facility name and a location parameter. The
query logic concept is best explained by the sentence in the center of the NAME
SELECTION MENU SCREEN (see Figure 6-4). The line that reads "OTHER
VALUES THAT MAY BE Ored TOGETHER AND THE RESULT ANDed WITH
THE NAME ABOVE" tells you that IDEA inserts a Boolean OR between each
location entry and then inserts a Boolean AND between the facility name and the
location entry. In other words, IDEA will search for the facility name in each
location you select and provide you with a list of facilities that match the name you
choose and are found in the location, or one of the locations, that you indicate.
Enter the facility name and location values just as described in the
previous two sections, press < Enter > and IDEA will run your query.
See Section 6.3, Managing Queries in the ISPF Editor Mode, to learn what to do
with a query after using GO Names.
6.3 Managing
Queries in the ISPF Editor Mode
Alter you tell IDEA to run the name function by pressing < Enter >, the total
number of possible matches to your name and/or location appears under the ZIP code
prompt (see Figure 6-5). If you specified only one word in the name, IDEA returns
the number of facility matches. If you specified two or more words in the facility
name, IDEA will indicate the number of possible matches, i.e., facilities that have
at least one of the words in their name (and meet any geographic constraints). After
you indicate how to create/display the facility query (explained in the next two
sections),- IDEA will return to the editor only those facilities which contain all of the
specified words in their name.

If you arc not satisfied with the number of facilities that your search turns up then
you may redefine your query by enteri
different from what you had originally
facility name and/or location values that are
entered.
As shown in Figure 6-5, two prompts also appear at the bottom of the screen after
you have made name and/or location selections, and pressed < Enter > : RETURN
NAMES TO QUERY and CORP. PROF. (Y/N). Your responses to these prompts
will determine the nature and appearance of the query IDEA builds for you.
6.3.1 Returning a Facility List to a Query
The first prompt, RETURN NAMES TO QUERY, gives you the option of specifying
one of three ways to return the namejs to the EDIT SCREEN. They differ in the
amount of facility information ii
Y(es) Returns the facility name and the source database name to the query.

Once you have returned the facility

SCREEN and displays the GO Names
to your query by selecting Y, A, or M, and
< Enter >, IDEA takes you to the EDIT
query you have constructed.
Figure 6-7 represents a portion of a GO Names-generated facility query based on
EPA ID numbers. The first three lines (numbers 000001-000003) on the screen
contain comments indicating the selection criteria, and how many names were
selected. The Keyword query logic follows these comments. (A brief explanation of
Keywords will be given here - see Chapter 8, Conducting a Search Using Keywords
for a more detailed treatment of the sjibject.)
The first line of the actual query logic (line no. 000004) indicates that when you run
this query, you will receive pUTptlT in REPORT format 1A. The next line
indicates-that the INPUT data that IDEA will use to process your query will be
LINKED; i.e. the FINDS system will be used to integrate data taken from the
different databases (see Chapter 2, IDEA: What it Does & How it Works).

KfcOiK f»t 07Z
Figure 6-7. A GO Names Query in the Edit Screen
Line 000006 indicates the SELECTion criteria that IDEA is using in the query.
When you form a GO Names query, IDEA takes the name you enter and looks up
all the facilities with matching names in the FINDS database (FIN). FINDS provides
a list of EPA identification numbers (EPID) for all the facilities with matching
names. Finally, IDEA sets up the query as shown in Figure 6-7 and returns it to you
with the EPA ID numbers of all the facilities. IDEA also provides the facility names
for your convenience, but they are not actually part of the query. The characters /*
tell IDEA to ignore anything to their right on the same line.
Technical Note:
IDEA uses an enhanced version of the FINDS database. It is enhanced during
the monthly program file refresh/update cycle to include facilities which the
OIRM FINDS file does not contain. If a facility from a program office data
system is not included in the OIRM FINDS file, IDEA will generate a pseudo
EPA ID Number for that facility record. These IDEA/EPA ID Numbers can
be readily distinguished from officially assigned numbers as they contain the
character string "IDEA" starting in the third position of the number. In this
way, every facility that is provided to IDEA from EPA's program office data
systems can be included hi this enhanced FINDS file.

6.4.1 Modifying a GO Names
Query
As discussed in Section 6.2.1, when IDEA searches for names, it uses a system that
looks for matches to the first character and the next three consonants or numbers of
each word you enter, it does not attempt an exact character-for-character match. For
this reason, you may wish to delete [lines that contain "false positives" - facility
names that are not of interest to you.
Hie ISPF EDIT SCREEN, in which yoiir GO Names query is displayed, is a scrolling
display text editor (word processor) that allows you to type over any data displayed
and perform certain editing functions. General commands (e.g., END, CANCEL)
are entered next to the COMMAND prompt on the second line of the screen. Any
editing operations (e.g. deleting or moving lines) are performed by entering a
command directly on the line numbers) of the affected line(s).
Table 6-2 lists several of the line commands available.

If you delete the last facility in the query, you must make sure that there
are no commas in the entry that is last in the resulting list. Note that the
facilities in lines 7, 12, IS, 17, and 19 of Figure 6-7 have commas, but
the facility entry in line 21 does not.

GO Names is a utility that allows IDEA users to build a query based on a facility
name or location parameters. This utility applies an algorithm which recognizes
consonant character strings within names. GO Names allows users to specify how
much information is returned to the ISPF editor. It will return a Dun & Bradstreet
corporate profile if the CORP. PROF. (Y/N) option is selected. GO Names will
return facility information to the ISPF editor where it can be reviewed, edited, or run

7.7 Summary
7.1 Introduction to GO MenuA
The GO MenuA utility allows you to build a query in the Menu Interface and edit it
in the Keyword Interface. The Menu Interface is the simplest means of retrieving
information from IDEA. It provides convenient pop-up windows for you to form
queries simply by selecting criteria from lists. Although easy to use, the Menu
Interface is fairly rigid because it makes some assumptions about the data selection
and logical structure of a query. These assumptions cannot be altered in this
interface.
The Keyword Interface, on the other hand, is not as easy to use but allows you more
freedom. It is a word processor that allows you to build queries from scotch
according to almost any criteria found in the linked IDEA databases. This wide
range of choices gives you the ability to form very detailed queries involving many
variables. The hard part is that you must know the correct query syntax to build
Keyword queries from scratch. You have more freedom because you can tailor the
query, including the query logic, to suit your needs. By using the GO MenuA utility.

8.2 Using Keywords to Write Queries
The typical Keyword query contains three basic elements, or statements, made up of
required keywords and parameters, as well as optional keyword qualifiers. These

three elements are the INPUT statement, the SELECT statement, and the OUTPUT
statement.

.) Lines 4, 6, and 7 show data element
Note: There may only be one INPUT statement and one OUTPUT statement.
"SELECT" may only be entered once.
8.2,1 The INPUT Statement
The INPUT statement, which instruct! i IDEA how to process the search criteria, is
a necessary component of every Keyword query. It will affect how many facilities
may be selected and how the output will be organized. The INPUT qualifiers:
LINKED, NONIINKED, and the combination LINKED NONUNKED, determine
IDEA
-------
exactly how your query is processed. These qualifiers are discussed in Section
8.2.1.2.
At the blank EDIT SCREEN, the cursor will be flashing by the COMMAND prompt
(see Figure 8-3). IDEA may include messages at the top of the screen. To remove
these, type RESET at the COMMAND prompt (optional). To begin building a
query, you will have to move the cursor below these messages and to the right of the
six apostrophes on the left hand side of the screen. After you have formed your
query and pressed < Enter > these apostrophes will turn into line numbers. If you
press < Enter > before completing your query, insert lines by typing i on a line
number; press < Enter >. This will insert a line after that line.
Use or the arrow keys to move your cursor down to the first open line on
the EDIT screen. Type the word INPUT. If you do not include an INPUT qualifier,
IDEA assumes the default: LINKED. INPUT should typically appear as the first
statement in a Keyword query. Two notable exceptions, however, are GO Names
and GO MenuA generated queries.
8.2.1.1 Using Linked and NonUriked Keywords
When you include the keywords LINKED and/or NONUNKED in your query, you
are telling IDEA what type of information to retrieve; namely, data that has been
integrated using FINDS, non-integrated data from the separate databases, or both
together. Refer to Section 2.3, How IDEA Processes Queries for complete details.
Linked
LINKED is the default; that is, if you do not specify LINKED and/or NONUNKED
in your query, IDEA will retrieve data that has been integrated using FINDS.
NonUnked
The NONUNKED keyword instructs IDEA to retrieve information from the separate
systems without using FINDS to integrate the data.
The benefit of choosing NONUNKED is that you will receive all the data you are
seeking. (LINKED data may not be complete since FINDS does not contain data for
all facilities.) The drawback of NONUNKED data is that you will have to manually
match facilities from separate systems in order to integrate the data.
If you would like to retrieve non-integrated data without using FINDS, type
NONUNKED after INPUT and use. only Boolean ORs as connectors between
databases. If you use a Boolean AND between databases, IDEA will interpret it as

INPUT LINKED

TRI
8.2.2.2 Choosing a SELECT bata Element
Directly after the database code is entered, type a period (.) followed by the data
dement code.
The data element is a multi-character code that tells IDEA where to look for the
information you wish to test for. Each database has a large number of data elements
that are available for selection. For instance, in the TRI database you may select
TOD to search according to chemical: D numbers or RFYR to indicate the chemical
reporting year. In RCRIS you may sel set, for example, HUSML to search for small
quantity generators or WAMTT to inc icate waste amounts in tons. These specific
elements are listed in Appendix C: Data Elements in IDEA Shadow Files in the Data
Element column. Only data elements which have been indexed may be used in IDEA
queries (refer to the Index column in Appendix Q.
The specific codes, dates, amounts, eft:. are called data values and will be explained
in Section 8.2.2,4, Providing SELEC.r Data Values. Before these can be entered
however, you must first include a Boolean operator (see Section 8.2.2.3, Using a
Boolean Operator).
8.2.2.3 Using a Boolean Operator
At this point you -have already told IDEA which database to search and which data
element to focus on. To complete your SELECT statement, and be more specific at
the same time, you will have to include a data value or values. The Boolean <
employs Boolean logic to tell IDEA ejxactly how you want it to search for the data
value you have specified.
Leave a < Space > after database.dat ^element and type in the appropriate Boolean
operator.
8-10
IDEA
-------
IDEA currently uses seven Boolean operators. These operators and examples of their
use are presented below. The first two operators, EQ and NE, are concerned with
definite values. The other five deal with ranges of values based on less than, greater
than, or in between status.
EQ M
The EQual operator tells IDEA to select all facilities that have a data value equal to
the one you have specified. In other words, EQ is only used with definite values.
For example, if you typed in the following SELECT statement
SELECT
TRI.TOD EQ 000108883
IDEA would select all TRI releasers of the chemical with this ID number, which is
toluene. IDEA also allows you to search for more than one data value at a time
within the same data element To do so, you must separate the values by a comma.
IDEA performs the search by placing a Boolean OR between the values you list In
other words, IDEA will retrieve the names of all facilities that fulfill the first data
value OR the second OR the third. For example, if you wanted to search for all
facilities that release toluene (TRI code 000108883) or xylene (TRI code 001330207)
or trichloroethylene (TRI code 000079016) then you would enter the following
SELECT statement (note: the "=" sign may be used interchangeably with EQ):
SELECT
TRI.TCID - 000108883, 001330207, 000079016
In this case, IDEA will search for all TRI releasers of toluene OR xylene OR
trichloroethylene.
NE
The present and Not Equal operator tells IDEA to select all facilities that have a data
value that is present and not equal to the value you have specified. In RCRIS, for
instance, you can choose to search for facilities in the State of Pennsylvania by using
the data element LSTATE set equal (EQ) to PA. On the other hand, if you were
interested in searching for RCRIS facilities that were not in Pennsylvania, then you
could type the following SELECT statement:
SELECT
RCR.LSTATB NE PA
IN
The Excludes operator tells IDEA to select all facilities that have a data value that is
included in a range of values that you specify. The IN operator allows you to
perform an indefinite search. For example, if you typed in the following SELECT
statement
User's Guide 8-11
-------
SELECT
RCR.WAMTT IN 100, 1000
IDEA would select all RCRA facilites that produce amounts of waste that fall
between 100 and 1000 tons. You are required to separate the values by a comma,
putting the lower value first and the higl ler value second (IDEA will not automatically
check for proper arrangement).
LT
Than operator tells IDEA
The present and Less
value Oat is present and less than the

to select all facilities that have a data

less than 1000 tons of waste, you could
RCR.WAMTTLriOOO
LE
The present and Less than or Equal to
operator tells IDEA to select all facilities that
have a data value that is present and less than or equal to the value you have
specified. So if you wanted to search Wall RCRA facilities that produce 1000 tons
following SELECT statement:
of waste or less, you would write the
SELECT
RCR.WAMTTZ£ 1000
GT
The present and Greater Than operator tells IDEA to select all facilities that have a
data value that is present and greater than the value you have specified. So to search
for all RCRA facilities that produce over 1000 tons of waste, you would write the
following SELECT statement:
SELECT
RCR.WAMTT GT 1000
GE
The present and Greater than or Equal to operator tells IDEA to select all facilities
that have a data value that is present and greater than or equal to the value you have
specified. Thus, if you wanted to se irch for the names of all RCRA facilities that
produce 1000 or more tons of waste, you would enter the following SELECT
statement:
SELECT
RCR.WAMTT GE 1000
8-12
IDEA
-------
The operators LT, LE, GT, GE, and NE tell IDEA to evaluate only data that is
present. In other words, when these operators are used IDEA, will ignore any data
field that is left blank, even if the absence of data has an implied meaning. For
instance, the major discharge indicator (MADI) Meld in the PCS database is blank
unless the facility is a major discharger, in which case an M is stored. A blank in
PCS for MADI implies that the discharger is a minor, but no blanks are stored in the
PCS shadow file, or any IDEA shadow files.
IDEA retrieves all its data from these shadow files, which are copies of the original
databases. The shadow files preserve the data intact; however, in order to conserve
computer storage space, blanks or missing values have been excluded.
How, then, can you select a minor facility in PCS when the keyword statement
PCS.MADI=blank is not valid? In this case you could use the operator NOT to
select all facilities that are not equal to M:
SELECT
JVOrPCS.MADI = M
Since a minor facility is any one that is not M, the NOT operator gets the job done.
IDEA is not counting the blanks in this case. Instead, it is eliminating the facilities
that have PCS.MADI = M and counting the ones that are left (Le., the ones that are
not M).
The operators LT, LE, GT, and GE are also dependent on the presence of data; that
is, they also ignore blank data fields. NOT can be used to accurately count facilities
that are not equal to a value, as in the PCS example above, but the same cannot be
done when the operator calls for less than or greater than. Nor would NOT be
accurate if the blanks were the result of missing information. Keep in mind that
when a data field has a blank or missing value, nothing can be assumed about what
the real value may be and, consequently, it is neither greater or less than any value
you select.
8.2.2.4 Providing SELECT Data Values
The data value is a more specific classification within each data element. Each
database has its own list of data elements and corresponding values that you can
reference before forming your query. Appendix C: Data Elements in IDEA Shadow
Files lists SELECT value types, but does not currently list the actual values which
could be used in a query. For this information refer to Appendix B: Database
Descriptions which lists User Support numbers for each database used by IDEA or
refer to the database's data element dictionary.

two-letter state abbreviations, chemical codes,
Industrial Classification codes (SICs), dates of

When you have finished composing yoi^r SELECT statement it should have the same
format as the following expression:
SELECT
database.data_element Bootean_operator datajralue
This is the basic format for any S!
ELECT
statement.
8.3 Using Boolean Connectors in a Query
The true power of IDEA comes into focus when you begin to form queries that
request information from more than one data element or database. To form these
more intricate queries you will have to learn to use Boolean ORs, AMDs and other
connectors, as well as parentheses.
OR
The Boolean OR tells IDEA to retrieve! a facility record if it fulfills one criterion OR
a second criterion, OR a third, et;. Use the OR as a connector between
database.data_element expressions. IDEA interprets commas between data values
as ORs, so spelling out OR is not necei sary when you are setting value criteria in the
same data element.
To demonstrate, let's say you are sear ;hing for all RCRA facilities that are either in
the transporter universe or the land di sposal universe. The data elements for these
criteria are HUTRAN and HULAND, respectively, and these criteria are selected by
typing X after the = sign. So, remem wring to insert the Boolean OR, the SELECT
criteria would look like this:
e
SELECT
RCR.HUTRAN = X OR
RCR.HULAND = X
The same can be done between databases; for instance, if you wanted to search for
facilities that are either fully regulated RCRA generators (HUFUL) or are NPDES
"major" dischargers the SELECT statement would be as follows:
8-14
IDEA
-------
SELECT
RCR.HUFUL = X OR
PCS.MADI - M
AND
The Boolean AND is a handy tool to use when you are performing very specific,
targeted searches. AND tells IDEA to retrieve facility names only when they fulful
all the specified criteria, i.e., the first criterion AND the second AND the third, etc.
AND is used as simply as OR, by inserting it between search criteria. AND may be
used between databases; for instance, if we change the search above to all facilities
that are fully regulated RCRA generators AND NPDES "major* dischargers:
SELECT
RCR.HUFUL = X AND
PCS.MADI = M
Additionally, the AND may be used between data elements within same database,
when commas (ORs) are not appropriate. Let's say for instance that you are looking
for all TRIS facilities that produce both toluene AND trichloroethylene:
SELECT
TRI.TCID - 000108883 AND
TRLTCID - 000079016
Use the Boolean connector AND between "database.data_element Boolean_operator
data value" statements in order to select facilities according to one criterion AND a
second criterion AND a third, etc.
Using Parentheses in a Query
IDEA prioritizes the logical operators present in a query. This mechanism causes
IDEA to process some parts of a query before others. IDEA will consider
information between parentheses first, then it will consider ANDed criteria, then it
will consider ORed criteria.
You can use parentheses to instruct IDEA to consider any.criteria inside the
parentheses before the rest of the query.
Use parentheses around an expression in the SELECT statement if you
want IDEA to consider the expression first.
User's Guide * 15
-------
You can see how in the following exjunple: Let's say you are searching for all
RCRA facilities in the State of Pennsylvania, LSTATE = PA, that are fully regulated
generators OR release toluene: j
SELECT
RCR.LSTATE = PA AND
(RCR.HUFUL - X OR TRI
TOD = 000108883)
To see the difference that parentheses can make, switch the parentheses to cover the
first two segments of this statement:
SELECT
(RCR. LSTATE
OR TRI.TCID
PA AND RCR.HUFUL = X)
000108883
This search would give you a much different list of facilities since IDEA would call
up all facilities that are either fully regulated RCRA generators in Pennsylvania OR
release toluene. |

displays the facility name and database identifier, location and other business
information, noncompliance or violation status, and enforcement information.
REPORT IB
A more detailed presentation of. information on individual facilities, including
historical and programmatic data such as dates and results of inspections, specific
toxic substances reported, and details of enforcement actions.
REPORT 2
A linked docket table that indicates whether each facility is listed as a significant

REPORT SUMMARY
Provides total facility counts by program and EPA region; sum of facilities that are
in compliance and not in compliance by program and total numbers of enforcement
actions by program; and total toxic substance release information for the selected
facilities.
Figure 8-5. IDEA Standard Report Formats
8.6 Specifying Report Destinations
The default output destination for your query report(s) is your computer terminal. If
you want to see your report before printing or saving, then you do not have to
specify a destination after the OUTPUT statement. You will then have the option of
saving or printing when you view the report(s) (see Section 8.9.1, Viewing the Query
Report). Simply type SAVE or PRINTO at the COMMAND prompt, press
< Enter >, then answer the prompts on the PRINT/SAVE PARAMETER SCREEN that
appears. This method of printing and saving reports is explained more fully in
Chapter 10, IDEA Standard Reports (see Sections 10.3 and 10.4).
If you do not wish to view the output at your terminal, but prefer to print it
immediately or save it directly to a dataset, you must use the keyword(s) PRINT
and/or DATASET in the output statement of your Keyword query. These two
keywords are discussed in the following paragraphs.
User's Guide
8-17
-------
Note that you may only specify one output destination - your terminal (default), a
printer, or a dataset - per REPORT statement. For example:
OUTPUT REPORT 1A REPORT 1A PRINT
This OUTPUT statement will send one copy of Report 1A to your terminal screen
and one copy to be printed.
PRINT
To print a report, type the keyword; PRINT on the OUTPUT line after the report
specification. If you would like to print multiple copies of the report, then type
PRINT COPIES X and substitute the number of copies you want for X.
After you ran the query as described in Section 8.9 and return to the EDIT SCREEN,
a message will appear at the top of the query saying "Your batch job is JOBxxxxx"
where xxxxx will be a 5-digit number. IDEA will have sent the requested report(s)
to a HOLD queue to await further instructions. You must then let the system know
to which printer you want the output to be routed by using the System Display and
Search Facility (SDSF). Take the following steps to release your print job from the
HOLD queue:
1. To access SDSF, type SDSF at the COMMAND line of any Keyword screen.
This will bring up the SDSF PRIMARY OPTION MENU SCREEN pictured in

IDEA
-------
If you decide not to print your job, type a P (Purge) under the NP column on
the line of the job you want to cancel; press < Enter >. Warning: a purged
record can not be recovered.
4. To exit SDSF, use the END command or PF3 two times. You will return to
the Keyword screen from which you issued the SDSF command in step 1.
DATASET
To save a report directly to a dataset, the output line must specify the report type,
the library, and the name of the member in which the report is to be saved. On the
OUTPUT line, type REPORT, specify a format, then type the keyword DATASET
followed by the dataset name. Since IDEA will automatically prefix your dataset
name with your user ID and account number (UIDACCT), you must either:
(A) not specify your user ID and account number on the OUTPUT line
e.g., type QUERY.REPORTS(MEMBERNAME)
or (B) enter your user ID, account number, and membername with single
quotes around the entire character string
e.g., 'UIDACCT.QUERY.REPORTS(MEMBERNAME)'
The dataset you specify may be NEW or OLD. By default, IDEA assumes that it is
NEW (i.e., that it does not yet exist and must be created). However, if you wish to
overwrite an existing dataset, you must type OLD after the dataset name. For
instance, let's say you want to save Report IB to an existing library called
QUERY.REPORTS and you have decided to name the member SEARCH1. Your
OUTPUT line would resemble the following:
OUTPUT REPORT IB DATASET QUERY.REPORTS(SEARCH1) OLD
If the data set you wish to overwrite does not actually exist, IDEA will give you an
error message and you will have to delete the OLD status to save the report.
8.7 Adding Comments to a Queiy
To identify your query in a way that is understandable and easy to read, you can add
comments that will not be a part of the query for processing purposes, but will
remind you of the query's contents. To do this, simply type the two characters /*.
The sequence /* makes IDEA ignore anything to the right of the two characters on
the same line. Comments can appear anywhere in the query, on separate comment
lines or on the same line with executable IDEA expressions.
User's Guide 8-21
-------
You may also find this sequence useful when you are trying to refine queries. Instead
of deleting an expression from the query, you can just type /* in front of the line and
then check your output. This will, in effect, turn the line off. You can always
restore the expression by deleting the /* sequence from the line.
8.8 JOB, ROUTE & DD Statements
IDEA creates JOB, ROUTE, and DD statements for the batch jobs that result from
your PRINT or DATASET statements. These statements are written in Job
Control Language (JCL); unless you are familiar with writing JCL, you should
accept the IDEA defaults (that is, y0u should not use the optional keywords JOB
and DD). If you are familiar with J
-------
OUTPUT JOB REPORT IB PRINT REPORT 2
INPUT LINKED SELECT (criteria)
//uuu JOB (aaaafffff,bbbb)'%IDEA',REGION=2M>PRTY==2,TIME=(>30),
// MSGLEVEL=(0,0)
/* ROUTE PRINT SE
If the JOB and ROUTE statements are incorrect or incomplete, you will get an error
message and the query will not be processed.
Similarly, IDEA will generate DD statements for your PRINT and DATASET batch
jobs. IDEA'S PRINT DD statement is the following:
SYSOUT=A.RECFM - VBA,LRECL=259,BLKSIZE=23000
IDEA'S provides four DATASET DD statements.
For a new partitioned dataset (PDS):
//RaaaOUT DD DSN=bbb.bbb(bbb),
DISP=(,CATLG,DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=259,BLKSIZE=23310),
// SPACE=(TRK,(50,50,10))
where aaa is a sequential number beginning at 001 and incremented for each DD
statement; bbb.bbb(bbb) is the dataset name the user entered.
For a new non-PDS:
//RaaaOUT DD DSN=bbb.bbb,
DISP=(.CATLG.DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=259,BLKSIZE=23310),
// SPACE=(TRK,(50,50))
For an existing PDS:
//RaaaOUT DD DSN=bbb.bbb(bbb),
DISP=ccc
where aaa is a sequential number beginning at 001 and incremented for each DD
statement; bbb.bbb(bbb) is the dataset name the user entered; ccc is the disposition
(OLD) the user entered.
For an existing non-PDS:
//RaaaOUT DD DSN=bbb.bbb,
DISP=ccc
If you want to specify your own DD statement for a batch report, use the keyword
DD=ddname after either PRINT or DATASET. A DD statement with the specified
DD name must appear at the end of the query, after JOB and ROUTE statements, if
they are present. (They will be present only if JOB has also been specified.)

Following is an example:
OUTPUT REPORT IB DD=REPTQ1 REPORT 2

8.9 Running a Keyword Query
Once you are satisfied with the content of a Keywords query, you are ready to run
the query and receive the specified report(s).
lgg» To run a Keyword query, at the EDIT screen use < Tab > or < Home >
to move the cursor to the COMMAND prompt, type GO followed by
< Enter >.
From here, IDEA processes the query and then presents the Query Status Screen,
shown below in Figure 8-10.

If you are satisfied with the number of facilities that your query has turned up then
press < Enter > to see the query report. If you are not satisfied and wish to return
to the EDIT SCREEN, then type END at the COMMAND prompt (or use PF3).
8.9.1 Viewing the Query Report
If you choose to see the report, IDEA will deliver information to your screen
according to the format you selected earlier. The reports are presented to you in the
BROWSE mode (see Figure 8-11) where you can view, print, or save, but not alter
the reports. To maneuver through the report, use PF7 to page up, PF8 to page
down, PF10 to scroll left, and PF11 to scroll right. If you selected multiple report
formats, type SW at the COMMAND prompt to switch to the next report. See

o. 11 Summary
Keywords is a powerful query building tool operated through the ISPF Editor.
Search criteria and parameters must be expressed in language understood by IDEA.
(See Figure 8-22 for an example of a keyword query.) This chapter and Appendix
C: Data Elements in IDEA Shadow Files contain information on proper keyword
syntax and data elements used by IDEA.
Each Keyword query must have three statements: INPUT, SELECT, and OUTPUT.
Follow these steps to build a Keyword query:
1. Use < Tab > or the arrow keys to move your cursor down to first open line
on a blank EDIT screen. Type the word INPUT and provide the appropriate
keyword: linked (default), norilinked, linked nonlinked.
2. Type SELECT below or after the INPUT statement. Provide the following
information: three letter database ID, database element, Boolean operator,
data value(s).
The SELECT statement should have the following format:
database. data_element Boolean_operator data_value
8-26
IDEA
-------
3. Provide an OUTPUT statement after the SELECT statement by typing
OUTPUT followed by REPORT and a report name: 1A, IB, 2, or
SUMMARY.
Note: There may only be one INPUT statement and one OUTPUT statement.
"SELECT" may be entered only once.

9.1 Introduction to the ISPF Editor
While in the EDIT SCREEN (see Figure 9-1), you are in the ISPF editor mode. ISPF
is a mainframe word processor that is used to construct and execute IDEA queries.
ISPF edit commands are divided into two groups: line commands and primary
commands. Edit line commands, which are entered by typing over the line numbers
on the left side of the screen, enable you to insert, delete, copy, and move lines.
Primary commands may be entered at the COMMAND prompt at the top of the ISPF
edit screen and they allow you to exercise some control over the EDIT environment.

Table 9-1 is a list of the most common ISPF Line Edit Commands. Each command
will be discussed in the sections below. Line commands are used to edit data and are
entered by typing over the 6-digit number on one or more lines. Single character
commands operate on a line (e.g., C to copy a line, I to insert a line) and double
character commands work on a block of lines (e.g., DD on the first line to be
deleted, DD on the last line to be deleted).

following this line.
1. Use the arrow keys or < Tab > to place the cursor at the left most character
of the line number.
2. Type I and press < Enter > and ISPF will add a line following the line where
the cursor is. IDEA will continue to add lines as long as you continue to use
them. To get out of Insert mode, press two tunes in a row.
3. To add more than one line just type I followed by the number of lines you
want to add (e.g., type 18 to add eight lines below the line the cursor is on)
and press < Enter>. The new lines will be without numbers; ISPF will fill
in the numbers when you press < Enter >.
Commands for Deleting Lines
D Delete this line.
Dn Delete n lines (where n is an integer between 1 and 99999)
DD Identifies the first and last lines of a block to be deleted.
1. Use the arrow keys or to place the cursor under the left most
character of the line number you want to delete.
2. Type D and press < Enter > and ISPF will remove that line.
3. To delete more than one line, type D followed by the number of lines you
want to remove (e.g., type D8 to delete eight lines including the line the
cursor is on) and press < Enter >. The lines that were below the deleted
lines will be moved up and renumbered by ISPF to fill the empty space.
4. To delete a block of lines, type DD on the first line to be deleted. Press
< Tab > or the arrow keys to the last line to be deleted, type DD and press
< Enter >. The lines that were below the deleted lines will be moved up and
renumbered by ISPF to fill the empty space.

you can add "comments" that will not be a part of the query for processing purposes,
but will remind you of the query's contents.
Simply type /* followed by your comments (see Figure 9-1). ISPF ignores anything
to the right of the /* on the same line.
Primary commands are entered at the COMMAND prompt at the top of the ISPF
EDIT SCREEN. They allow you to exercise some control over the Edit environment.
In many instances, ISPF primary commands correspond to PF keys, such as the
following: END, RETURN, UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT.

9.3.1 Copying Lines From One Query to Another
The ISPF edit Copy function (see Section 9.2.2, Copying, Moving, and Repeating
Lines) allows you to copy lines within the same document. In the course of your
query writing you may also want to transfer lines or groups of lines from one query
to another. To copy lines from one query to another, follow these steps:
1. Use the arrow keys or < Tab > to place the cursor at the left most character
(on the line number) of the line that you want to copy and type C over the
number.
2. To copy more than one line just type C followed by the number of lines you
want to copy (e.g., type C8 to copy eight lines including the line the cursor
is on). The lines you are copying will remain intact in the original query.
An alternate way of copying several lines is to type CC over the line numbers
of both the first and last lines you want to copy. After doing this continue
with step #3.
3. Use the or key to place the cursor at the COMMAND
prompt. Type CUT followed by < Enter > and ISPF will copy the line(s)
into a paste buffer for storage until you choose a final destination. A message
will appear in the upper right corner of the screen telling you how many lines
were cut.
Note that each time you use the CUT command, the lines are being copied
and placed into the paste buffer. When another range of lines is added to the
buffer, the message n Plus n Lines Cut (n=any number) appears at the top
right of the screen. You may, therefore, copy several ranges of lines and
move them all together.
4. Use the END command (or PF3) to exit the EDIT SCREEN and select the
library and member (see Sections 5.2 and 5.3) to which you want to transfer
the lines.
5. Choose the location where you want the copied lines to be placed. Move the
cursor to the left most character (on the line number) of the line above or
below where you want to put the copied text.
If you want the copied text to come after the line that the cursor is on, then
type A; if you want it before, type B.
6. Use the or key to place the cursor at the COMMAND
prompt. Type PASTE followed by < Enter > and the copied lines will
appear in the location you selected.
9-10
IDEA
-------
9.3.2 Combining Queries
The ISPF Editor enables you to copy an entire query (member) into a another query
(member) without cutting and pasting. The following steps assume that both queries
will be in the same library (see Section 5.1, Selecting an IDEA Library).
1. Start with the query into which you want to copy the other query. Choose the
location where you want the copied query to be placed. Use or the
arrow keys to move the cursor to the left most character on the line above or
below where you want to put the copied text.
If you want the copied text to come after the line that the cursor is on, then
type A; if you want it before, type B.
2. Use the or key to place the cursor at the COMMAND
prompt. Type COPY followed by a < space > and the member (query) name
that you want to copy. Press < Enter> and the copied query will appear in
the location you selected.
9.3.3 Deleting Excluded or Non-Excluded Lines
The DELETE command is used to delete lines from the query being edited. DEL
may be used as an abbreviation.
The format for the DELETE command issued from the COMMAND prompt is:
DELETE ALL X Deletes all excluded lines from the query.
DELETE ALL NX Deletes all non-excluded lines from the query.
9.3.4 Clearing a Query from the ISPF Editor
If you want to erase a query without leaving the EDIT SCREEN, you can use the
Delete command.
1. Use the arrow keys or < Tab > to place the cursor on the left most character
(on the line number) of the first line of your query.
User's Guide 9-11
-------
2. _ Type D followed directly by a number that is greater than or equal to the
number of lines used by your query and press < Enter >.
9.3.5 Scrolling Data
Edit allows you to scroll up and down through the data. If the data is too wide to fit
on the screen, you can also scroll left and right.
To scroll, enter one of the four scroll commands: UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT.
UP ' (PF7/PF19) -move toward the top of the data
DOWN (PF8/PF20) -move toward the bottom of the data
LEFT (PF10/PF22) -move toward the first column of the data
RIGHT (PF11/PF23) -move toward the last column of the data
To change the number of lines or columns being scrolled, change the scroll amount
field, located in the upper right corner of the EDIT SCREEN shown in Figure 9-4.

If the amount in the scroll amount field in not valid when a scroll command is
entered, an error message is displayed. Either correct the scroll amount, or take an
action other than scrolling.
You can change the scroll amount by typing over the current amount with a new
amount. If you enter MAX or M at the SCROLL prompt, ISPF redisplays the
previous value following the scroll operation. If you enter any other scroll amount,
that amount remains effective until you change it or until you begin a new function.
Valid scroll amounts are:
PAGE (P) - Scroll by one page.
HALF (H) - Scroll by half a page.
n - Screen n lines (n between 1 and 9999).
MAX (M) - Scroll to the top, bottom, left, or right margin.
CURSOR (CSR) - Scroll until the cursor reaches the top, bottom, left, or
right edge of the screen.
DATA (D) - Scroll by a page minus one line when scrolling up or
down or by a page minus one column when scrolling
left or right.
For scrolling purposes, a "page" is the amount of data currently visible on the screen.
In split screen mode, for example, a browse display might have 12 lines by 80
columns of scrollable data. In this case, a scroll amount of HALF would scroll up
or down by 6 lines, or left or right by 40 columns.
You can temporarily override the scroll amount, without changing the scroll amount
field in two different ways:
* Type a scroll direction and a scroll amount at the COMMAND
prompt, and press (e.g., DOWN 5 or RIGHT MAX).
* Type a scroll amount at the COMMAND prompt and then press a
scroll PF key rather than pressing < Enter >.
Generally, you can combine scrolling with other actions by entering a command and
then pressing a scroll PF key (instead of the < Enter > key). Both the action and
the scroll will be processed.
9.4 Summary
The ISPF Editor is a mainframe word processor that is used to construct and execute
IDFJV queries. ISPF edit commands are divided into two groups: line commands
and primary commands.
User's Guide 9-13
-------
Edit line commands are typed over one or more line numbers on the left side of the
EDIT SCREHV and enable you to insert, delete, copy, and move lines. Single
character commands operate on a line (e.g., C to copy .a line, I to insert a line) and
double character commands work on a block of lines (e.g., DD on the first line to
be deleted, DD on the last line to be deleted).
Primary commands are entered at the COMMAND prompt at the top of the ISPF
EDIT SCREEN, They allow you to exercise some control over the EDIT
environment, such as scrolling data or excluding lines from the display.

Chapter 10
Standard Reports
This chapter instructs IDEA users on the different report formats that are standard
to IDEA, and how to access, navigate, print, save, and exit them.
Sections:
10.1 Choosing a Standard Report Format
10.1.1 Report 1A
10.1.2 Report IB
10.1.3 Report 2
10.1.4 Summary Report
10.2 Accessing and Navigating Reports
10.3 Printing Reports
10.4 Saving Reports
10.5 Exiting Reports
10.6 Summary
10.1 Choosing a Standard Report Format
IDEA reports are.standard in the sense that the report formats and the type of
information presented in them are predetermined. In other words, a query defines
criteria for selecting facilities, but does not determine what facility data are presented
in the standard reports. Users may select facilities based on a specific data element;
however, the data from that element may not appear in the resulting reports. This
chapter contains examples of the report formats and identifies each data element used
in IDEA standard reports. Presently, a process is being developed which will enable
users to create customized reports.
IDEA currently allows users to choose from among four standard report formats.
Reports 1A and IB list information on individual facilities; Report 2 focuses on the
noncompliance/violation status of facilities; the Summary Report shows total facility
counts by EPA region and program along with information on toxic substances
released. Each of these report formats is described below in greater detail.
User's Guide
10-1
-------
10.1.1 Report 1A
Report 1A provides a brief description of the facilities selected by your query. The
organization of the information in this report differs for linked, nonlinked, and linked
nonlinked queries. In short, linked queries return information organized by facility
whereas nonlinked queries return information organized by the databases from which
the information was retrieved. Linked nonlinked searches return reports including
combinations of both.
Linked
When running a linked query, the information in Report 1A is organized into two
components: the facility heading and database information. Within the heading for
each facility, IDEA provides the FINDS identification number, facility name,
address, city, state, zip code, longitude, and latitude.
Each facility heading is followed by pertinent information from the individual
databases. In Report 1A, this database information includes: name of the database,
name for the facility within the database, identification number for the facility within
the database, a facility's noncompliance or violation status, and a chart of the number
and type of EPA actions taken with regard to the facility in the past three years.
Examples of these EPA actions are evaluations, inspections, citations of violations,
administrative actions, and judicial actions.
Nonlinked
A nonlinked query returns information only from the databases addressed by your
query. Report 1A organizes this information in capsules containing the following:
the database name, the name for the facility within the database, the identification
number for the facility within the database, the facility's noncompliance or violation
status, and a chart of the number and type of EPA actions taken with regard to the
facility in the past three years. Examples of these EPA actions are evaluations,
inspections, citations of violations, administrative actions, and judicial actions.
Linked Nonlinked
Selecting both linked and nonlinked will generate a two part report. The first part
is organized in the linked format described above and contains information on
facilities with valid FINDS identification numbers that match all of the selection
criteria. The second part is organized in the nonlinked format described above and
contains information on facilities without valid FINDS identification numbers that
match any selection criteria.
The screens in the following sections illustrate a sample query (this is merely an
exercise that has no basis in fact regarding any planned or on-going enforcement
initiatives) built using GO Names to find facilities that are aluminum related
industries.

10.1.2 Report IB
Report IB provides a detailed description of the facilities selected by your query. The
organization of the information in this report differs for linked, nonlinked, and linked
nonlinked queries. Linked queries return information organized by facility whereas
nonlinked queries return information organized by the databases from which the
information was retrieved. Linked nonlinked searches return a combination of both.
Linked
When running a linked query, the information in Report IB is organized into two
components: the facility heading and database information. Within the heading for
each facility, IDEA provides the FINDS identification number, facility name,
address, city, state, zip code, longitude, and latitude.
Each facility heading is followed by pertinent information from the individual
databases. In Report IB, this database information includes: the database name,
name for the facility within the database, identification number for the facility within
the database, and the facility's noncompliance or violation status. Also presented is
a history of the number and type of EPA actions taken with regard to the facility
during all of the years for which information is available. Examples of these EPA
actions are evaluations, inspections, citations of violations, administrative actions, and
judicial actions.
Nonlinked
A nonlinked query returns information only from the databases addressed by your
query. Report IB contains the following: the database name, the name for the
facility within the database, the identification number for the facility within the
database, the facility's noncompliance or violation status, and a history of the number
and type of EPA actions taken with regard to the facility in the years for which
information is available. Examples of these EPA actions are evaluations, inspections,
citations of violations, administrative actions, and judicial actions.
Linked nonlinked
There are two parts to the Report IB format resulting from a linked nonlinked query.
The first part is organized in the linked format described above and contains
information on facilities with valid FINDS identification numbers that match all of
the selection criteria. The second part is organized in the nonlinked format described
above and contains information on facilities without valid FINDS identification
numbers that match any selection criteria.
The screens in the following sections illustrate a sample query built using GO Names
to find facilities that are aluminum related industries. Note: this is the same example
used in Section 10.1.1.

10.1.3 Report 2
Report 2 is a multimedia table that contains the following information on selected
facilities: EPA facility identification number, name, state, and violation status. This
report will indicate if a facility is a significant noncomplier (SNC) in the CWA,
FIFRA, EPCRA 313, and TSCA programs; a high priority violator (HPV) according
to the RCRA program; a significant violator (SV) according the CAA program. It
also contains the following civil docket information: case number, case name, and
overall status. The total number of facilities and violators for each database are listed
at the bottom of Report 2.
Note:
In the case of a linked nonlinked query, Report 2 will first present the
facilities with valid FINDS identification numbers that match all of the
selection criteria, followed by the facilities without valid FINDS identification
numbers that match any selection criteria.
The screens in the following sections, illustrate a sample query (this is merely an
exercise that has no basis in fact regarding any planned or on-going enforcement
initiatives) built using GO Names to find facilities that are aluminum related
industries.

10.1.4 Summary Report
The Summary Report has five distinct sections. The first section is a chart showing
the number of facility counts by program and by EPA region. The second section
lists the number of selected facilities that are in compliance and not in compliance by
program. The third section gives the total number of enforcement actions taken on
selected facilities by program. The fourth section shows facility counts by region and
by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, and the fifth section totals toxic
substance release information for the selected facilities by pollutant and by year.
Warning'.
The Summary Report should be selected only if a linked query is being run.
Due to the nature of this report, it may present misleading information if
selected with a nonlinked query.
The screens in the following sections illustrate a sample query (this is merely an
exercise that has no basis in fact regarding any planned or on-going enforcement
initiatives) built using GO Names to find facilities that are aluminum related

10 2 Accessing and Navigating Reports
After running a report, the QUERY STATUS SCREEN will appear (see Figure 10-1).
On this screen, IDEA displays the following: the time of day when it finished
running the query, the number of facilities found in the search and whether or not
they are in FINDS (i.e., have valid FINDS identification numbers), and a chart
indicating the databases relevant to the search. This chart varies for linked,
nonlinked, and linked nonlinked queries.
selected but
*xici«cfc$
IIO) t«85 <
to
Figure 10-1. Query Status Screen
In the case of linked and linked nonlinked searches, the chart contains a combination
of "counts" and percentages for each database relevant to a search. The counts are
the number of facilities that meet your criteria for that database but do not have valid
FINDS identification numbers. The percentage measures these counts with respect
to the total number of facilities meeting your criteria in that database (including both
facilities with and without valid FINDS identification numbers). This chart allows
users to gauge the percentage of facilities excluded from a search due to missing
FINDS linkages.
Because nonlinked searches do not access FINDS, the chart in this case contains the
facility counts but not the percentages. For more information on the relationship
between a query and the number of facilities selected, refer to Chapter 3 IDEA: What
it Does & How it Works.

IDEA allows users to print part or all of a report by specifying line numbers.
To print the entire report, type 1 at the FROM LINE NO. prompt and press
. At the TO LINE NO. prompt, type the MAX number that
appears at the upper right corner of the BROWSE screen and press < Tab >.
The MAX number corresponds to the final line of the report when it is
"COMPLETE".
IDEA also allows users to print just a portion of the report. Printing only part
of a report is useful if a complete report contains unneeded information.
Within the BROWSE mode, a continuous block of information can be printed.
For example, lines 1 through 23 can be printed. However, you cannot print
lines 1 through 23 and lines 46 through 69 at the same time. To print a
portion of the report, type in the number of the first line of the block to be
printed and to the TO LINE NO. prompt. Type the ending line
number and press < Tab >.
At the FOR PRINTING - BIN prompt, type your site specific BIN number
and < Tab > to the DESTINATION prompt. Type your site specific printer
destination ID (or press < Tab > to send your print to the HOLD queue) and
to the NO. OF COPIES prompt. Type the number of original
copies you wish to receive and press < Enter >. The default setting for print
destination is HOLD and the default for the number of copies is 1.
If you choose to send your output to the HOLD queue (or if you press
< Enter > too early and send it there by mistake), you must then let the
system know to which printer you want the output to be routed by using
the System Display and Search Facility (SDSF).
Take the following steps to release your print job from the HOLD queue:
1. To access SDSF, type SDSF at the COMMAND line of any Keyword screen.
This will bring up the SDSF Primary Option Menu pictured in Figure 10-5.

3. Press to move the cursor down to your print job, then over to the
DEST column. The text should read R255, which simply means that your
print job is in the HOLD queue. Type the identification number of the printer
at your site or one of the options listed below over R255, and press
< Enter > two times.

RMTO Same as LOCAL.
R + RP# Prints at the designated remote printer. Here RP# is the ID for
the remote printer. To view a list of the remote printers
available to IDEA users:
A. Exit IDEA and type ISPF 3.4 at the TSO READY
prompt. The DATA SET LIST UTILITY SCREEN will
appear.
B. Type JUSD.REMOTE.DATA at the DSNAME
LEVEL prompt; press < Enter >. The DS LIST
SCREEN will appear.
C. down and type B (Browse) next to the
JUSD.REMOTE.DATA member. Press < Enter> to
view the list of remote printers.
D. When you are finished, use the RETURN command
(PF4) to go to the ISPF/PDF PRIMARY OPTION
MENU. Type X to return to the READY prompt.
The first time you press < Enter > in step 3 a message reading
COMMAND ISSUED will appear in the upper right hand corner of the
screen, and the printer destination you just typed in will change back to
R255. Don't panic! When you press < Enter > the second time, the
correct destination will again be displayed. (Compare Figure 10-7 with
Figure 10-8.)

IDEA offers users four standard reports which have been designed to address
different informational needs. Since each is designed to display predefined categories
that may or may not be relevant to a particular investigation, IDEA, users should
understand these report formats before selecting one. Section 10.1 describes the
standard report formats.
• Report 1A
Provides a brief description of the facilities selected by your query. Selecting
linked, nonlinked, or linked ndnlinked will affect the organization of the
report.
• Report IB
Provides a detailed description of the facilities selected by your query.
Selecting linked, nonlinked, or linked nonlinked will affect the organization
of the report.
• Report 2
A multimedia table that indicates if a facility selected by your query is listed
as a significant noncomplier (SNC), a high priority violator (HPV), or a
significant violator (SV).
• Summary Report
Consists of five distinct sections which provide facility count totals.
The remaining sections of Chapter 10 provide information on accessing and

Access and Security Procedures for IDEA
Introduction
The IDEA system supports two levels of access to the EPA program office
enforcement data: Non-sensitive Access and Sensitive Access. This two tiered level
of access is in accordance with EPA communication policies that encourage broad
access to information. As a result, State enforcement personnel are able to gain
access to IDEA and use the data in their regional enforcement screening and targeting
efforts. OE in conjunction with each national system administrator has identified the
data that each program office has determined is enforcement sensitive.
Non-sensitive Access:
Non-sensitive Access is granted to persons or agencies, which includes other
Federal and State agencies, who have a valid EPA mainframe User-ID.
However, access to enforcement sensitive data is blocked while access to all
other relevant enforcement data is allowed.
Sensitive Access:
Users authorized for Sensitive Access are governed by the provision of EPA
Order 3120.1 (issued September 20, 1985). This Order, entitled "Conduct
and Discipline," and its Attachment, entitled "Guidance on Corrective
Discipline," prescribe policies and penalties regarding breaches of security
regulations or practice.
The policy memorandum from Gerald A. Bryan, Director, Office of Compliance
Analysis and Program Operations, describing the Access and Security procedures for
IDEA is reproduced in its entirety below. Following the policy memorandum are
sample access memoranda that authorize individual EPA User-IDs to gain Sensitive
Access to IDEA.

This memorandum addresses access and security for the enforcement data
integration capability under development by the Office of Enforcement (OE). It also
addresses limitations on the use of information gathered through the data integration
capability, known as Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA).
The fundamental integration capability was established in early 1991, and
refinements to IDEA will continue for the foreseeable future. This is a significant
step forward for the enforcement program, and with it we enter an exciting time of
testing new approaches to enforcement. These new uses and demands will point to
data deficiencies that will need to be addressed. In recognition of the evolving nature
of IDEA, the procedures set forth in this memorandum are considered interim
procedures and will h, subject to modification as new technical capabilities become
available.
Background
The Agency's Enforcement 4-Year Strategic Plan and the Enforcement in the
1990's project identified the need for an integrated data capability. The Plan
emphasized the importance of data integration efforts to support enforcement
targeting activities, case screening, case development, litigation support, and
settlement negotiations. Developing IDEA to meet these information needs for the
enforcement community will be OE's top priority for system development and
implementation.
A-2
IDEA
-------
The inability of environmental enforcement personnel at the Federal and State
levels to readily integrate compliance and enforcement information contained in the
Agency's various national mainframe data systems through an automated means also
was identified to the Congress by the President for FY 1990 as an Agency material
weakness under the Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA). OE, with
cooperation from the Office of Information and Resources Management (GERM), the
media program offices, and the Regional offices, has been working over the past year
to develop IDEA. OE was able to report through the FMFIA reporting process that
as of January 31, 1991, a computer software capability had been established which
is able to integrate compliance and enforcement information from eight national data
systems. When fully developed, IDEA will provide a means to retrieve, view
displays at a terminal, and print information from the various compliance and
enforcement data systems in an interactive and highly flexible automated
environment.
Overview of Proposed Implementation Approach for IDEA
In accordance with EPA policies that encourage broad access to information,
OE intends to provide access, known as Non-Sensitive Access, as soon a possible in
FY 1992, to persons or agencies who have a valid EPA mainframe User-ID.
However, the IDEA software has the ability to access all of the information contained
in the national enforcement databases, including information considered to be
enforcement sensitive. To protect enforcement sensitive information from improper
use or release, OE plans to control access to the full IDEA capability, known as
Sensitive Access, through restrictions that will be placed on authorizations for
individual EPA User-Ids (see Attachment 1, Section n and Attachments 2(a) - 2(d)
for procedures for gaining authorization to Sensitive Access). IDEA Users
authorized for Sensitive Access are governed by the provisions of EPA Order 3120.1
(issued September 20, 1985). This Order, entitled "Conduct and Discipline," and
its Attachment, entitled "Guidance on Corrective Discipline," prescribe policies and
penalties regarding breaches of security regulations or practice. The relevant
provisions of the Order are found under heading #3 on page A-4 of the Appendix.
The eight national systems are the Air Facility System (Clean Air Act), the
Permit Compliance System (Water - NPDES), HWDMS/RCPJS (RCRA), CERCLIS
(Superfund), the Toxics Release Inventory, the Enforcement DOCKET, the FFIS
(Federal facilities), and the Facility Index System.
OE will develop a method that blocks access to enforcement sensitive
information but which continues to permit access to all other information and provide
for the full range of proposed uses for EPA, State, and local personnel. The security
method will be developed reflecting the outcome of database reviews that OE will
conduct with each national system administrator to identify the data that each program
has determined are enforcement sensitive.
User's Guide A-3

Limitations on Use of Information Retrieved through IDEA
While IDEA represents a major step forward in making information
accessible, users need to keep in mind that IDEA has been designed primarily to
assist enforcement^ personnel in enforcement targeting, case screening^ case
development, litigation support, and settlement negotiations; but there is significant
potential for misinterpretation of information obtained through IDEA." As each
program system accessible through the integration capability is unique, knowledge of
statutory provisions, program definitions, data relationships, and sound professional
judgment will be required to accurately interpret information that is retrieved.
The automated data systems accessible through IDEA do not contain all of the
information that an individual needs in order to accurately assess program
performance. The data accessible through IDEA are a subset of information on
program performance, and without the use of other non-automated information or
without dialogue with appropriate EPA enforcement program personnel and State
officials, accurate conclusions about performance cannot be developed. Also, due
to the dynamic nature of the automated databases that form the basis of this
capability, and due to the timing of data retrievals, data may not precisely match data
reported in other EPA reports.
IDEA is not intended to replace any EPA automated information system or
reporting procedures. Existing quality assurance/quality control procedures for each
program information system will not be duplicated, altered or circumvented. For
management accountability reports and other official displays of quantitative
enforcement information (e.g., tallies of administrative actions), OE will continue to
rely on the Agency's Strategically Targeted Activities for Results System (STARS)
reporting process. The quantitative STARS reports are based on well established and
defined State and Regional reporting processes, data retrieval dates, and discrepancy
reconciliation processes that cannot be duplicated or replaced by IDEA.
Conclusion
The procedures set forth in this memorandum and its attachments are considered
interim and will be revised as necessary. Questions on the general approach for
implementation of IDEA should be directed to Bruce Rothrock or Bob Greenspun
(FTS 260-3125), and questions regarding training or user access should be directed
to Jerry Lappan (FTS 260-3130).

Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA)
This document addresses access and security procedures for the enforcement data
integration capability (hereafter referred to as Integrated Data for Enforcement
Analysis (IDEA)). In recognition of the evolving nature of IDEA, the procedures set
forth below are considered interim procedures and will be subject to modification as
new technical capabilities become available.
I. Overview of Proposed Implementation Approach for IDEA
The IDEA software has the ability to access all of the information contained
in the national enforcement databases, including information considered to be
enforcement sensitive. To protect enforcement sensitive information from improper
use or release, the Office of Enforcement (OE) plans to control access to the full
IDEA capability, known as Sensitive Access, through restrictions that will be placed
on authorizations for individual EPA User-ID's (see Section n below and
Attachments 2(a) - 2(d) for procedures for gaining authorization to Sensitive Access).
IDEA Users authorized for Sensitive Access are governed by the provisions of EPA
Order 3120.1 (issued September 20, 1985). This Order, entitled "Conduct and
Discipline," and its Attachment, entitled "Guidance on Corrective Discipline,"
prescribe policies and penalties regarding breaches of security regulations or practice.
The relevant provisions of the Order are found under heading #3 on page A-4 of the
Appendix.
In accordance with EPA policies that encourage broad access to information,
OE intends to establish a second level of access, known as Non-Sensitive Access, as
soon as possible in FY 1992. OE will develop a method that blocks access to
enforcement sensitive information but which continues to permit access to all other
information and provide for the full range of proposed uses for EPA, State, and local
personnel. The security method will be developed reflecting the outcome of database
reviews that OE will conduct with each national system administrator to identify the
data that each program has determined are enforcement sensitive.
n. Process for Obtaining Authorization for Access to Non-Sensitive Information
EPA's National Computer Center (NCC) is responsible for issuing EPA
mainframe computer User-Ids. EPA employees and State or local officials seeking
to obtain an EPA User-ID should contact the ADP coordinator for their office or
Region to obtain form N-258. The ADP coordinator will send the completed form
N-258 to NCC.
Alternatively, under NCC's new online user registration system, the ADP
coordinator or account manager may be able to create a new User-ID interactively.
'User's Guide A-5
-------
Persons or agencies outside of EPA that seek to obtain an EPA User-ID
should call FES 737-4807 or 703-487-4807 to begin the process of establishing an
NCC account.
HI. Process for Obtaining Authorization for Access to Sensitive Information
1. EPA Regions - The Regions will determine which of their employees have
a need-to-know sensitive information in order to conduct targeting, screening, case
development, litigation support, and settlement negotiations. To authorize a Regional
employee's EPA mainframe User-ID for access to sensitive information, the
employee and the Deputy Regional Administrator (DRA) will need to submit to the
Director of OE's Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations a letter (a
sample letter is included in Attachment 2(a)) requesting access. Upon receipt of the
letter and completion of user training provided by OE, the employee User-ID will be
authorized.
2. EPA Headquarters Enforcement Program Offices - The Headquarters
enforcetr program offices will determine which of their employees have a
need-to-kiiow sensitive information in order to conduct targeting, screening, case
development, litigation support, and settlement negotiations. To authorize an
employee's EPA mainframe User-ID for access to sensitive information, the
employee and the employee's Office Director will need to submit to the Director of
O Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations a letter (a sample letter
is iuded in Attachment 2(b)) requesting access. Upon receipt of the letter and
completion of user training provided by OE, the employee User-ID will be
authorized.
3. EPA Office of Enforcement - OE will determine which of its employees
have a need-to-know sensitive information in order to conduct targeting, screening,
case development, litigation support, and settlement negotiations. To authorize an
employee's EPA mainframe User-ID for access to sensitive information, the
employee and the employee's Office Director will need to submit to the Director of
OE's Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations a letter (a sample letter
is included in Attachment 2(c)) requesting access. Upon receipt of the letter and
completion of user training provided by OE, the employee User-ID will be
authorized.
4. EPA Contractor Employees - The Regional or Headquarters office will
determine which of their contractor employees have a need-to-know sensitive
information in order to conduct targeting, screening, case development, litigation
support, and settlement negotiations. To authorize a contractor employee's EPA
mainframe User-ID for access to sensitive information, the contractor employee, their
contract project officer, and the appropriate EPA senior official (i.e., the Deputy
Regional Administrator or Headquarters Office Director) will need to submit to the
Director of OE's Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations a letter (a
sample letter is included in Attachment 2(d)) requesting access. Upon receipt of the
letter and completion of user training provided by OE, the contractor employee's
User-ID will be authorized.

IDEA
-------
5. List of Users with Sensitive Access - OE will maintain a list of users
whose EPA User ID's have been authorized for sensitive access. The Headquarters
progranrsystem administrators will be kept informed of approved User-ID's, unless
j- they prefer to have concurrence prior to approval.

System Description: The AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS) is a component of the
Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS). AIRS is a computerized database
management system for airborne pollution in the United States consisting of four
subsystems. Each subsystem addresses a different (but in many cases related) aspect
of the Clean Air Act regulatory requirements. AFS contains emissions, compliance,
and enforcement data on stationary sources of air pollution. Regulated sources cover
the spectrum from large industrial facilities to relatively small operations such as dry
cleaners (automobiles and other mobile air pollution sources are tracked by a different
AIRS Subsystem (AMS)). IDEAs AFS file currently does not contain any data on
Class B air facilities or on facilities which are solely asbestos demolition and/or
renovation contractors.
While AFS maintains data at several levels of detail on an air source, IDEA focuses
on the data at the plant-level. Plant-level data treats the entire facility as one unit,
rather than looking at individual emission points, processes, or stacks. Data reported
at the plant level include:
* General Source Information ~ identification number, name, location, etc.
* Plant Compliance Status — plant-wide, worst case status.

Data Owner(s): U.S. EPA (non-delegated program)
System Description: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act Information System (CERCLIS) contains the official inventory of
CERCLA sites, and integrates data from the Superfund removal, site assessment,
remedial, and enforcement programs. CERCLIS supports site project management,
program budget negotiations, accountability negotiations, and reporting.
CERCLIS data are structured based on an "operable unit" organization. An operable
unit (OU) is formally defined in the CERCLA National Contingency Plan (NCP); but
for practical purposes, it typically represents some physical aspect of the CERCLA
site (e.g., dividing large sites into smaller units) or of the clean-up required (e.g.
surface clean-up, ground water, etc.). A site can have one operable unit or as many
as the project officer deems necessary to remediate the site. Operable units are
numbered starting from OU 00 which is designated as the "site-wide" OU containing
removal, pre-remedial, and enforcement information. Sites not included on the
National Priorities List (NPL) usually have only an OU 00, since full clean-up can
be achieved through a removal action, or because after pre-remedial evaluation, it is
determined that no further federal action is necessary.
IDEA'S standard CERCLIS report IB displays data based on the OU structure;
however, enforcement information is displayed after the last OU (due to a limitation
of the CERCLIS database hierarchy). The most commonly queried/displayed data
include the following:
* General Site/Incident Information ~ identification number, name,
location, etc.
* Site Assessment — discovery, preliminary assessments, site screening
inspections, etc.
* Removal ~ removal activities.

U.S. EPA (non-delegated program)
System Description: The Civil Enforcement Docket System (DOCKET) is a case
activity tracking and management system for both civil, judicial, and administrative
federal EPA enforcement cases. Case information is supplied and updated by EPA's
Offices of Regional Counsel and Office of Civil Enforcement case attorneys.
The basic structure of a DOCKET record focuses on an enforcement case. It is
assigned a case number (unique to DOCKET; not the same as the DOJ case number)
and a case name which identifies the defendant (or principal defendant if more than
one is named in the complaint). In the case of administrative actions, the record
includes the nature of the violation, statute(s) involved, attorneys assigned, and
milestone dates (e.g., the date the order was issued). Judicial actions contain
information similar to that for administrative actions, but include more detailed
milestone dates, as well as a place to indicate that a case has been amended (e.g.,
to include additional violations or defendants).
IDEA contains a subset of the DOCKET data which includes:
* General Case Information - Case number, Case name, HQ Division,
etc.
+ Case Attorney Names ~ EPA/Region, EPA/HQ, DOJ.
* Violation Information - Law/Section, Pollutant(s), Violation Date, etc.
* Defendant Name(s)
* Milestone Dates - Referred to DOJ, Filed, Concluded, etc.
* Amendment Information — Amendment Type, Milestone Dates.
DOCKET tracks enforcement actions taken against companies or individuals.
Therefore, the DOCKET case name may not exactly correspond to the facility name
where DOCKET records are linked via FINDS to facility records from other program
office data systems.

System Description: The Federal Facilities Information System (FFIS) is an
automated system used by both the EPA and other executive agencies. The FFIS
serves as a tool for monitoring and planning projects which are intended to bring
federal facilities into compliance with current environmental regulations or to
maintain compliance. The FFIS provides the following:
* An inventory of all federal facilities for which pollution abatement
projects have been reported to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) through EPA.
* The compliance status of any facility with applicable regulations.
* Information on projects planned or initiated to bring the facility into
compliance with current regulations, to maintain compliance, or to
achieve compliance with future regulations.
* Budget information as required by OMB for the A-I06 report.
The FFIS database stores information on the nature of the problem that each project
must correct, the reason for initiating the project, its environmental impact, its
estimated cost, and an evaluation of the adequacy of the project regarding design,
timing, and funding. Budget information required by OMB is available. Although
data may be added to the system throughout the year, the major updates occur in
January and July. Data may also be updated in September, in preparation for the
OMB report.

U.S. EPA (non-delegated program)
System Description: The Facility Index System (FINDS) is a computerized
i itory of facilities regulated by the EPA. FINDS contains two types of
i mation about each facility:
* Facility identification data, such as its unique EPA ID number, name, and
physical address.
« Pointers to other sources of information- EPA program office databases
which contain more detailed information about the regulated facility.
Currently, FINDS is updated by performing periodic "reconciliations" between the
FINDS records and those of the program office data systems. For each program
office facility record, an effort is made to link it to an existing FINDS EPA Facility
ID Number, or to assign it a new EPA Facility ID Number when sufficient
identifying information exists to determine that it is a new facility to FINDS. The
types of data FINDS maintains include:
• EPA Facility ID Number
to each facility.
a unique and meaningless number assigned
FINDS Facility Name - may match or differ from the program office
facility name.
A ess - Sti , City, County, State, EPA Rt.
^ongitude, ami Attributes.
i, Latitude,
* System-Code — a code to uniquely identify a program office database.
• System-ID — the ID number that the program office database uses
may differ from the EPA ID Number.
Because EPA program offices may apply their own definition of what constitutes a
facility, FINDS may link one or more System Identifiers to the same EPA ID

System Description: The Toxic Chemical Release Inventory System (TRIS) is the
first national database which contains information on toxic pollution by manufacturing
industries. As mandated by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act of 1986, the TRIS is publicly accessible. It provides the public and government
with information about possible chemical hazards in their communities and thus
promotes planning for response to chemical accidents.
Manufacturing facilities covered by the 1986 act must report to EPA and to state the
amounts of more than 300 specified toxic chemicals that they release directly to the
air, water, or land, or that they transfer to off-site facilities which treat or dispose of
wastes.
Data in the TRIS include the following:
* Facility identification.
* Off-site locations to which wastes containing toxic chemicals are
transferred.
* Chemical-specific information.
* Activities/uses of chemicals.
* Maximum amount of chemicals on-site at any one time.
• Releases on-site.
+ Waste treatment methods and efficiency.
* Pollution prevention actions.

Data Elements in IDEA Shadow Files
This Appendix presents the data elements included in IDEA'S shadow files, or copies
of the EPA Program Office database files.
The following points should be kept in mind when referencing these data element
listings:
1. Not all of the data available from the Program Office data systems
may be included in the IDEA shadow files.
2. A data element must be indexed in order to be used as an IDEA query
selection criterion.
3. Bolded data elements were created for IDEA retrieval use and do not
exist as such in the Program Office databases.
The file listings follow the same basic format: elements are "grouped" into "logical
records" which mirror the structure and/or relationships of the original database. A
few or many data elements may be included within these GROUPs. Each data
element is defined by its ELEMENT NAME, an INDEXED indicator: (Y)es or
(N)o, an Enforcement SENSITIVE indicator: (Y)es, (S)ometimes, or (N)o, a generic
indicator of the data TYPE, the (external) LENGTH of the data field, and a brief
DESCRIPTION of the data element.

Appendix D
Error Messages
This Appendix lists the possible error messages, gives some detail about how the
error may have occurred, and suggests one or more ways to correct each error.
When IDEA processes a query, the system will identify errors that will prevent it
from running. If an error is present, one of the error messages included in this
appendix will appear on the screen.
Each error message will appear on the line after the one containing an error. Actual
error messages will replace the "XXX" characters listed here with the word that
constitutes the error.
Remember that IDEA looks for required keywords in a certain order and that some
keywords require criteria, names, or numbers in specific formats or values. For
example, even if the keyword you have used is valid, it may be out of order where
it appears in your query. (If SELECT is the first keyword in a query, it will be
flagged as an error, since INPUT must appear first.) If the source of an error cannot
be determined, call IDEA User Support for assistance (see below).
IDEA User Support Line: 301 567-4810
Monday-Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm (eastern time)
Operated by Radix n under contract to EPA's Office of Enforcement.
INPUT/OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS:
ERROR: YOU MAY ONLY SPECIFY INPUT CRITERIA ONCE PER
QUERY.
Queries cannot have more than one INPUT statement. The valid input values
are LINKED, NONLJNKED, LINKED NONUNKED. To correct this error,
eliminate all but one instance of the keyword "INPUT."
ERROR: YOU MAY ONLY SPECIFY OUTPUT CRITERIA ONCE
PER QUERY;
The keyword OUTPUT may be used only once in a query even though
multiple reports, destinations, etc., may be specified. To correct this error,
eliminate all but one instance of the keyword "OUTPUT."
User's Guide D-l
-------
Security level is specified by entering SECURITY LEVEL followed by a 1
or 2. This line must be before the INPUT line.
After the required keyword SELECT, the system looks for database elements
and values. These must be present to have a valid query. To correct this
error, enter selection criteria after the keyword SELECT.
ERROR: YQURHIGH-I
"XXX" IS INVALID.
Call IDEA User Support (see below).
SECURITY SPECIFICATIONS:
ERROR: YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR THIS SECURITY
LEVEL.
Refer to Appendix A, Access and Security Procedures for IDEA, for
information on security and access procedures.
ERROR: YOU HAVE ENTERED AN INVALID SECURITY LEVEL.
Currently, IDEA supports two security levels: 1 and 2. One being the lowest
and two being the highest.
INPUT SPECIFICATIONS:
ERROR: YOU M -JT SPECIFY; "LINKED" BEFORE YOUR
SELECTION EXPRESSIONS.
Refer to Chapter for inforr tion on INPUT statements.
D-2
IDEA
-------
Refer to Chapter 8 for information on INPUT statements.
ERROR: YOU MAY ONLY SPECIFY SELECT CRITERIA ONCE PER
' .. ' : QUERY. • ~--.-^-".v.-f^,.
The keyword SELECT may only appear once in a query; although, you may
specify multiple criteria following SELECT. To correct this error, remove
all but one instance of "SELECT."
ERROR- " INPUT OPTION "XXX" IS INVALID.
IDEA will only recognize three keywords after the keyword INPUT:
LINKED, NONUNKED, SELECT. Any other word will result in this
message. To correct this error, put the required keyword(s) after INPUT.
If necessary, move other keywords to the OUTPUT part of the query.
ERROR: YOU MUST ENTER SELECT CRITERIA.
This message will appear if no database elements or values appear after the
keyword SELECT. Enter database elements and values after SELECT to
correct this error.
ERROR; YOUR LIST OF EXPRESSIONS IS INCOMPLETE.
If the last word in your SELECT criteria is a Boolean connector (AND/OR),
IDEA assumes there will be another expression in the query. To correct this
error, remove the Boolean connector or add another expression.
YOUR PARENTHESES ARE IMBALANCED.
Each opening parenthesis must have a corresponding closing parenthesis.
rser's Guide
D-3
-------
Contact IDEA User Support (see below).
VALUE SPECIFICATIONS:
THES AN INVA1II> APOSTROPHE IN YOUR VALUE
No apostrophes should appear in a value list after a data element expression;
however, occasionally an apostrophe will be part of a valid value. To correct
this error, remove any invalid apostrophes.
ERROR: THERE IS AN INVALID CHARACTER IN YOUR VALUE
LIST.
To correct this error, compare the indicated value list with the list of valid
values for the data element and change or remove the invalid character.
ERROR: YOUR LIST OF VALUES IS INVALID.
To correct this error, compare the indicated value list with the list of valid
values for the data element and change the list accordingly.
ERROR-; THERE K NO VALUE BEFORE THE COMMA.
The required order for database expressions and values is database
abbreviation, period, data element, equal sign, data value, comma, data value.
Commas and values are repeated until the last value in the list. This message
tells you that your query has a comma, but no value before it. This may
indicate that an extra comma is present. To correct this error, add a value in
front of the comma or remove it.
D-4
IDEA
-------
Parentheses in IDEA keyword queries cannot stand alone. Refer to Chapter
8 for proper syntax.
ERROR: THERE IS NO VALUE BEFORE THE CONNECTOR.
