ABSTRACT
the AEROS Summary and Retrieval Manual, Volume III of the OAQPS
Guidelines Manual Series,describes and illustrates the reporting and
analysis capabilities of the various AEROS systems. The reports
available from each of the major systems are described and their re-
trieval options are explained. Sample computer printouts are used
to illustrate the report formats.
This manual also describes the analysis packages available for use
in the evaluation of AEROS data and describes the user access procedures
for obtaining AEROS reports. It describes the standard publications
available from the NADB to provide quarterly or annual information on
emissions and air quality.
In an applications section, the manual provides specific examples
of applications of AEROS data. The use of AEROS reports in typical air
quality control activities is described.
The manual also gives an overview of the Comprehensive Data Handling
System (CDHS), which is an AEROS-related system for storing and reporting
air quality and emissions data.

As the usefulness of the AEROS Manuals is highly dependent on their
completeness, accuracy and timeliness, the following provisions have
been made to allow for revisions in the interim between periodic complete
review and reprinting of volumes. Revisions will be accomplished through
the issuance of AEROS Manual Updates, which may contain one or more
separate revisions to a given Volume.
Responsibility for technical aspects of revisions is held by the
groups in NADB responsible for the relevant system or operation, while
compilation of revisions into Updates, and reproduction and distribution
are overseen by the AEROS Manual Project Officer, Requests and
Information Section.
These Updates will ordinarily be distributed to specific parties
in OAQPS and other selected internal users and to AEROS Contacts in
Regional Offices, who are designated holders of the appropriate AEROS
Manual Volumes by their respective organizational units. These
recipients are responsible for reviewing each Update and inserting it
in the appropriate Volume and removing outdated portions as directed.
They should also notify persons in their organizations to whom specific
revisions may be of importance, and provide copies of revisions to
those persons requiring them.
Three distinct types of revisions are foreseen: Urgent, Priority
and Routine. Urgent revisions must be issued and entered into Manual
Volumes as soon as possible to prevent adverse effects on operations.

Prior to compilation in a formal Update, drafts of Urgent revisions will
be distributed to NADB and Regional Office AEROS Contacts with instruc-
tions on the timing of their use in system operations. These drafts
should be filed in the appropriate Manual Volumes immediately preceding
the portions to be replaced, pending issuance of the formal Update.
Due to their importance, Urgent revisions will be issued by RIS as soon
as complete, along with any other revisions which are ready for
distribution at that time.
Priority revisions are substantive changes not crucial to system
operations, and will generally be issued in Updates on a quarterly
basis or combined with Urgent Updates when appropriate. Routine
revisions are relatively minor changes such as editorial corrections,
and will be included in regular or Urgent quarterly Updates as
available.
Updates will consist of the actual revisions and any attendant
changes to the Volume's Table of Contents, in appropriate format,
accompanied by an Update Notice and any memoranda deemed appropriate
by RIS. Updates will be compiled and numbered separately by AEROS
Manual Volumes, with the Update Notice serving as an index and guide
to implementation of the Update. The Update Notice will specify pages
or sections to be removed and/or inserted, with descriptive comments
on the content and relevance of changes. It will also include a
summary of dates and numbers of previous Updates to the subject Volume,
for verification of currency of the Volume. Upon receipt of an Update,

The National Emissions Data System is a computerized data handling
system which accepts, stores, and reports on information relating to
sources of any of the five criteria pollutants (particulates, SO , NO ,
A X
CO, and hydrocarbons). In NEDS, a major distinction is made between two
types of sources: point sources and area sources. Point sources, in the
broadest sense, are stationary sources large enough to be identified and
tracked individually; per NEDS reporting requirements, they are any plants
emitting more than 100 tons/year of any of the criteria pollutants. Area
sources, on the other hand, are those stationary and mobile sources which
individually emit less than 100 tons/year and are too small and too
numerous to keep individual records on. In NEDS, area sources are considered
collectively on a county basis. A large boiler within a power plant would
be an example of a point source, whereas a single automobile is an example
of the type of source considered collectively as an area source.
In NEDS, all source-related data are entered into the system via
specially formatted point and area source coding forms and are stored in
separate point and area source files. The type of data stored in the
system for point and area sources is somewhat different and is described
below.
POINT SOURCE DATA
The point source data in NEDS fall into the following major groups:
General source information—name, address, types of source, Standard

Industrial Classification, year of record, comments, etc.
Emissions data—operating or production rates and capacities, estimated
emissions, EPA calculated emissions, control device type and
efficiency on each criteria pollutant, etc.
Modeling parameters--UTM coordinates of source, stack height and
diameter, exhaust gas temperature, and flow rate.
Compliance information—al lowable emissions, compliance status,
schedules, etc.
These data are input to NEDS in the standard point source format,
an example of which is illustrated in Figure 2.1.1>e.
NEDS point source data are organized into three hierarchial levels.
t Plant level data (corresponding to input card 1) is general informa-
tion that applies to an entire facility defined as a point source.
t Point level data (corresponding to input cards 2-5) applies to
individual emission points within a plant. A plant may contain any
number of emission points. A point is that portion of a facility
that may be considered individually for emission purposes. A point
may contain one or more processes or pieces of equipment that are
related in contributing to the emissions from the point. In most
cases, a point emits pollutants through a single confined location
such as a stack, but it may emit pollutants at more than one
location or at no clearly defined location within a plant.

• Process level data (corresponding to input card 6) are source data
or use factors which may be used to define and compute emissions
for process activities within an emission point. In NEDS, processes
are defined by Source Classification Codes (SCC's). In general, for
each SCC there are emission factors which relate the quantity of
pollutants generated by a process to annual process operating rate.
NEDS uses a file of emission factors associated with each SCC to
compute emissions. There may be multiple SCC's for an emission
point. For instance, if a boiler is defined as an emission point
and it burns two fuels, two SCC's are needed to define these
processes and allow emissions to be computed. In another example,
if an asphalt batch plant is defined as an emission point, emissions
may result from aggregate drying, burning fuel to provide heat for
the process, and various material transfer points associated with
loading and converging of the product. Multiple SCC's would be
required to describe all of these processes.
The point source file provides for the use of alternate methods for
determining the emissions which are reported. Most commonly, emissions
will be calculated for each SCC using the emission factors in the SCC
Emission Factor file. However, by use of an appropriate code on the
input form and completion of fields for recording hand calculated
emission estimates, more accurate estimates of emissions may be input
to represent point emissions in place of the emission factor computed
emissions. For some SCC's, no emission factors are available, so an
alternate method must be used to estimate emissions for these records.

AREA SOURCE DATA
NEDS area source data may be grouped as follows:
General source information—name and location of area (county) source,
year of record.
Activity levels--countywide activity level of each type of area source
(e.g., tons of coal burned in all domestic space heating equipment
in a county).
Emissions data—emission estimates for the entire county (for each
pollutant) as well as for each area source category.
These data are input to NEDS in the standard area source format
which is illustrated in Figure 2-l.l.f.
The area source activity levels are derived primarily from related
information published by other Federal agencies, supplemented by special
data developed by EPA for the purpose of developing NEDS area source
inventories. Published data such as fuel use by state, motor vehicle
miles of travel by state and county and forest fire acres burned by
state are used with related data such as employment, population, and
miscellaneous geographic or economic data available on a county-by-

county basis to derive annual estimates of the activity levels for each
of the NEDS area source categories. The activity levels derived are
adjusted to account for point source activity (such as fuel use by
point sources) so that the area source data reflect only the activity
levels (and resulting calculated emissions) that are not accounted for
by point sources. The area source data are developed mainly by EPA, but
may be supplemented by data voluntarily submitted by state agencies.
The area source emission estimates are calculated for each source
category by a simple procedure:
Calculated _
Emissions
I Activity Level

if applicabley
Emission factors are contained in the NEDS area source emission
factor file. For many categories the same emission factors are used for
all counties. However, for some source categories, state- or county-
specific emission factors have been developed which consider local
variables that affect calculation of emissions. These more specific
emission factors are used in NEDS calculations for all highway motor
vehicle and fugitive dust categories and for selected other categories
in a few counties where data are available to develop more applicable
emission factors than the national emission factors. Provision is also
made, as an option, to override computer calculated emissions for any
source category for any county, by hand calculated emissions that may be
more accurate than any simple emission factor calculation.

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

k. Any combinations of the above
There are only certain combinations of the retrieval categories listed
above that are valid. For example, the county code numbers are unique
within each state but not across state boundaries. Thus although no two
counties in Arizona have the same county code number, 0040 is the county
code number both for Apache County in Arizona and Arkansas County in
Arkansas. As a result, retrieval by county is only meaningful when
combined with retrieval by state.
In the same manner retrieval by plant requires specification of
county and state identifiers; retrieval by point requires specification
of plant, county, and state identifiers.
It should be noted that the same type of restriction applies to
retrieval by SCC parts. Retrieval by SCC part IV is dependent on retrieval
by SCC part III, retrieval by part III on retrievals by part II, etc.
Sorts Available
Subject to the same restrictions set forth for "Retrievals
Available," the selected data can be sorted in ascending (a) or descending
(d) sequence for any of the following data values:

For example, consider a "Point Source Report" based on retrieval by
SCC or SIC category. There may well be some point sources located in the
requested geographic areas which do not fall within the requested SCC or
SIC categories. These point sources will be omitted from the report.
On the other hand, a point source may be included for more than one
SCC. When retrieval is by plant, one page of data for such a point
source will be printed for each of its SCC's. When determining total
plant emissions from such a printout, care must be taken to avoid adding
duplicate "Hand Calculated Point Emissions" into the total. The
"Computer Calculated SCC Emissions" should be used to determine total
plant emissions. The calculated emissions are labeled "Computer Calcu-
lated SCC Emissions" on the report. The field labeled "Hand Calculated
Point Emissions" reflects emissions for a NEDS emission point which are
entered by the data originator. The same values for "Hand Calculated
Point Emissions" will be repeated on separate pages for points with more
than one SCC. Normally, in such cases, the sum of all "Computer Calcu-
lated SCC Emissions" for a point will equal the "Hand Calculated Point
Emissions" for points with emission estimation method codes of 1,2,4,5,
6, and 7. Some data conditions may prevent this relationship from always
holding true. For points with emission estimation method code 3 (SCC
emission factor file calculation), the calculated emissions have no
dependence on any hand calculated point emissions that may be reported.

CONDENSED POINT SOURCE REPORT
General Description
The "Condensed Point Source Report" is an abbreviated listing for emission
xpoints. To generate this report, a particular pollutant and the. minimum value of
emissions of that pollutant must be specified. Emission points emitting more
than that minimum value of the pollutant will be included in the report.
A heading containing the creation date, minimum value, specified pollutant,
and an indication of whether the data are in English or metric units is printed
first. Next is displayed a five-line summary for each SCC per emission point.
The five line summary includes the following information for each SCC per
emission point: geographic location, ownership, year of record, and annual
emissions of each of the five criteria pollutants. Also included are the con-
trol equipment, control efficiency, and estimation method relevant to the. spe-
cified pollutant.
Retrievals Available
The retrievals available for the "Condensed Point Source Report" are
exactly the same as those available for the "Point Source Report."
Sorts Available
The sorts available for the "Condensed Point Source Report" are exactly
the same as those available for th» "Point. Sourco Report."
Sample Report
Figure 2.l.l.b is a sample "Condensed Point Source Report." The pol-
lutant specified is hydrocarbons and the minimum value of the. pollutant in-
cluded is 50 tons. The retrieval requested is for the State of Rhode Island.
The condensed point source report presents only "Computer Calculated SCC
Emissions," as described for the full point source report.

AREA SOURCE REPORT
General Description
Area sources are an aggregation of all sources not defined as point
sources in a specific geographic area. Area sources usually include all
mobile sources and any stationary sources too small, difficult, or numerous
to classify as point sources. Area source emissions are assumed to be spread
over the entire area that has been defined as an area source. Activity
level data for these sources are compiled on a countywide basis. The "Area
Source Report" is a formatted listing of the following information for each
area source retrieved:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
8-
Area identification
Total emissions estimated from SIP's
Activity of stationary sources
Activity of solid waste disposal
Activity of mobile sources - fuel usage
Activity of miscellaneous sources
Total calculated emissons
Two area sources are printed per page of computer output.
Retrievals Available
The "Area Source Report" retrieval options are as follows:
a. State
b. State/County
Sorts Available
Area sources are sorted sequentially within state by county.
other sort options are available for area sources.

ALLOWED VERSUS COMPUTED EMISSIONS REPORT
General Description
For each pollutant, allowed emissions may be entered into NEDS for a given
emission point. The calculated emissions refer to the emissions associated with
each SCC of that point source. The "Allowed Versus Computed Emissions Report"
was written to permit comparison of coded allowable emissions with total cal-
culated emissions for the emission point.
Each plant requested is represented in the report by one or more pages of
computer output. A heading containing the creation date and identifying geo-
graphic data is printed on the first page. In the pages that follow, the
emission data for each plant are described with the points listed in ascending
numerical order. For each point, the report prints the allowed emissions for
each pollutant (zero values are printed as blanks), the calculated emissions of
each pollutant for each SCC, and the totals of the calculated emissions for each
pollutant.
Retrievals Available
The data may be retrieved for all or any combination of the five criteria
pollutants. The options available for retrieval include any combination of the
following keys compatible with the restrictions set forth in the NEDS Point
Source Report:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Nation
State
County
Plant
Point
Sorts Available
The data may be sorted either by state or AQCR.
Sample Report
Figure 2.1.1.d is a sample from an "Allowed Versus Computed Emissions
Report" retrieved for the State of Vermont and the Air Quality Control Region
of Champlain Valley.

AREA SOURCE CARDS
The "Area Source Cards" report is similar to the "Point Source Cards"
report. This report outputs selected data from NEDS onto computer cards or
onto magnetic tape in the NEDS area source input format. The nation, a state,
a county, or an AQCR may be retrieval keys. Figure 2.1.1.f gives the format
for NEDS area source cards.

EMISSIONS BY SCC REPORT
General Description
This report summarizes, by SCC, the calculated emissions for the
five major pollutants (particulate, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydro-
carbons and carbon monoxide). All data selected are summarized by SCC
and total emissions are provided for the four parts of each SCC. The
report also gives the number of records for each SCC, for both complete
SCC's and component parts, and total process throughput for each complete
SCC (Parts I + II + III + IV).
Retrievals Available
Generally, only reports by nation, state, AQCR or county will be
meaningful. Should the need exist, any of the following retrieval
options are available:
a. State
b. AQCR
c. County
d. Plant
e. Point
f. Ownership Code

POTENTIAL EMISSIONS REPORT
General Description
The potential emissions report produces a report and/or files of
uncontrolled emissions, maximum controlled emissions, and maximum un-
controlled emissions. Either a full or summary report may be specified
with the summarization of calculations at the level specified by the
user. Summarization may be specified at any one of the following levels:
a. National
b. State
c. County (State/County)
d. AQCR
e. State/AQCR
f. Plant (State/County/Plant)
Emission values are computed as follows:
1) Uncontrolled emissions = CALCULATED EMISSIONS VALUE *
(1007(100 - CONTROL EFFICIENCY)),
2) Maximum Controlled Emissions = CALCULATED EMISSIONS VALUE * RATIO
WHERE RATIO = (MAXIMUM DESIGN RATE * HOURS-DAY *
DAYS-WEEK * WEEKS-YEAR)/OPERATING
RATE, and
3) Maximum Uncontrolled Emissions = UNCONTROLLED EMISSIONS * RATIO
(See RATIO formula above).

There are only certain combinations of retrieval categories listed
above that are valid. For example, the county code numbers are unique
within each state but not across state boundaries. Thus, although no two
counties in Arizona have the same county code number, 0040 is the county
code number both for Apache County in Arizona and Arkansas County in
Arkansas. As a result, retrieval by county is only meaningful when
combined with retrieval by state.
In the same manner retrieval by plant requires specification of
county and state identifiers; retrieval by point requires specification

of plant, county, and state identifiers.
It should be noted that the same type of restriction applies to
retrieval by SCC parts. Retrieval by SCO part IV is dependent on
retrieval by SCC part III, retrieval by part III on retrievals by
part II, etc.
Sorts Available
Subject to the same restrictions set forth for "Retrievals
Available," the selected data can be sorted in ascending (a) or
descending (d) sequence for any of the following data values:
a. State (a)

c. County (a)

The sort selected should coincide with the level of summarization
requested. That is, if summarization by plant is requested, sorting by
at least State/County/Plant, and preferably by State/County/Pi ant/Point/
SCC should be performed. It is recommended that, in general, only sorts
by items a-f and k be requested. Sorting by items g-j and 1-t is
possible but since those items do not appear on the report output, the
report may appear confusing or in random order if this is done.

RAW DATA LESS THAN 24 HOURS
General Description
This report lists the hourly observations of pollutant concentrations in 24
columns, 1 line per day, 1 month per page. The report may also be used, with
suitable modifications in format, for data recorded for 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and
12-hour intervals. The heading of the report contains the name of the pollutant;
the pollutant/method code; the units used; the method of collection and analysis;
the name of the state; the area; the site name and address; the complete site,
agency, and project code; the month and year; and an identifier giving the aver-
aging period of the observational data (for example, "1-hour data listing"). To
the left of the 24-column body of the report is a column giving the days of the
month; to the right are columns for the daily mean values and the number of ob-
servations made each day. Below the row for the last day of the month are three
other rows, one for the average values for each hour, one for the numbers of ob-
servations made at each hour throughout the month, and one for the maximum value
occurring at each hour. In the lower righthand corner are the average value for
the entire month, the total number of observations for the month, and the maxi-
mum value that occurred in the month. The report is also capable of creating
3-, 8-, 12-, and 24-hour running averages from 1-hour data.
Retrievals Available

RAW DATA LISTING GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 24 HOURS
General Description
This report lists raw data observations for intervals of 24 hours,
1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, or composite data. The data report
format varies with the sampling interval, but all intervals have the
following items in common:'(1) sampling interval in the heading, (2) a
complete site description following the heading, and (3) the pollutant
name, sample collection and analysis names, data reporting units, and the
minimum detectable value for the sampling method. The report begins a new
page with a change in interval, site, or pollutant.
For 24-hour data, 1 year of data appears per page in 13 columns,
the first containing the days of the month and the next twelve one column
for each month of the year. For each month and the year, the number of
observations, the maximum value, and the mean are listed. A monthly mean
is computed only if at least two observations are present, and the yearly
mean is calculated only if the yearly summary criterion is met. The geo-
metric mean is printed for particulates, and the arithmetic mean is printed
for all other pollutants.
For the other reporting intervals, multiple years can be listed per
page. For these intervals, the items listed include: the year; the month,
week, or sampling period, which is dependent on the interval; the data
value; and for composite data, the number of samples in the composite.
Retrievals Available
This report may be retrieved by the following selection criteria:
nation, state, area, site, agency, project, pollutant, method, interval,
begin date, end date, AQCR, and county.

Update III-I
Most combinations of the above selection criteria are valid, but the
following combinations are invalid: (1) area or county without state, (2)
site without state/area, (3) project without agency, and (4) method with-
out pollutant.
The difference between a state/area and state/county retrieval is
important—a state/area selection will give the sites which are in that
area (city) while a state/county selection will give all state/area
combinations located in that county.
Sorts Available
No optional sorts are available. The standard sort option for the
selected data is by interval and by site ID.

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

AQCR, SMSA, and UTM zone. The actual numerical values are also provided for the
city and AQCR populations, as well as for various geographic parameters including
the latitude and longitude of the sampling site, its UTM grid coordinates, the
elevation of the sampling probe above the ground and above MSL, and the time
differential between local standard time and GMT. In addition, the name of the
location is given, along with the name of the supporting agency and any comments
that may be appropriate.
Retrievals Available
The site description data can be retrieved on a state, AQCR, or nation-
wide basis.

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

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

YEARLY FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
General Description
This report lists the site description and annual summary informa-
tion for all data that satisfy the retrieval criteria. The site descrip-
tion is repeated at the top of each page, followed by the data. The site
description gives the geographical information necessary to locate the
site and is separated from the data by a data heading. Below the data
heading, the codes and names are given for the pollutant, the sampling
and analysis methods, the sampling interval, and the standard units in
which the data are printed. The data items include: the year of the
data; the percent of observations for continuous data; the number of
observations; the number of primary and secondary violations of the
NAAQS's; the minimum detectable for the sampling method; the minimum,
maximum and second maximum observations; the 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 95,
and 99 percentiles; the arithmetic mean; the geometric mean; and the
geometric standard deviation. The number of violations of the NAAQS's
represents the number of violations of the short term standards.
For the running averages, the number of violations are for non-over-
lapping running averages.
The retrieval and print options which are based on summary criteria
are: (1) print all data which meet other selection criteria but do not
print the means and standard deviation when summary criteria are not met
(default), (2) print all data which meet other selection criteria and

flag the statistics when summary criteria are not met, (3) print only
data which meet summary criteria, or. (4) print only data which fail the
summary criteria.
Retrievals Available
The report is generated from data which satisfy the following
selection criteria: nation, state, area, site, agency, project,
pollutant, method, interval, begin year, end year, AQCR, and county.
Most combinations of the above selection criteria are valid but the
following combinations are invalid: (1) area or county without state,
(2) site without state/area, (3) project without agency, and (4) method
without pollutant.
The difference between a state/area and a state/county retrieval is
important—a state/area selection will only give the sites which are in
that area (city) while a state/county selection will give all state/area
combinations located in that county.
Sorts Available
This report may be sorted in ascending (default) or descending
order by the following options: state, area, site, agency, project,
AQCR, pollutant, method, units, interval, year, pollutant value, and
county code. For this report, the pollutant value sort is on the yearly

QUARTERLY FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
General Description
This report lists the site description and quarterly summary infor-
mation for all data that satisfy the retrieval criteria. The site
description is repeated at the top of each page, followed by the data.
The site description gives the geographical information necessary to
locate the site and is separated from the data by a data heading. Below
the data heading, the codes and names are given for the pollutant, the
sampling and analysis methods, the sampling interval, and the standard
units in which the data are printed. The data items include: the year/
quarter of the data; the percent of observations for continuous data;
the number of observations; the number of primary and secondary viola-
tions of the NAAQS's; the minimum detectable for the sampling method; the
minimum, maximum, and second maximum observations; the 10, 30, 50, 70,
90, 95, and 99 percentiles; the arithmetic mean; the geometric mean; and
the geometric standard deviation. The number of violations of the NAAQS's
represents the number of violations of the short term standards, and for
the running averages, the number of violations are for non-overlapping
running averages.
The retrieval and print options which are based on summary criteria
are: (1) print all data which meet other selection criteria but do not
print the means and standard deviation when summary criteria are not met
(default), (2) print all data which meet other selection criteria and

flag the statistics when summary criteria are not met, (3) print only data
which meet summary criteria, or (4) print only data which fail the summary
criteria.
Retrievals Available
The report is generated from data which satisfy the following
selection criteria: nation, state, area, site, agency, project,
pollutant, method, interval, begin year-quarter, end year-quarter, AQCR
and county.
Most combinations of the above selection criteria are valid but the
following combinations are invalid: (1) area or county without state,
(2) site without state/area, (3) project without agency, and (4)
method without pollutant.
The difference between a state/area and a state/county retrieval is
important—a state/area selection will only give the sites which are in
that area (city) while a state/county selection will give all state/area
combinations located in that county.
Sorts Available
This report may be sorted in ascending (default) or descending
order by the following options: state, area, site, agency, project,
AQCR, pollutant, method, units, interval, year, quarter, pollutant

YEARLY REPORT BY QUARTERS
Gen e ra1 Des c ri pt i on
This report lists the site description and selected summary informa-
tion for the year and for the individual quarters. The site description
is repeated at the top of each page, followed by the data heading and
data for each pollutant-year selected. The site description gives the
geographical information necessary to locate the site. Below the data
heading, the codes and names are given for the pollutant, the sampling
and analysis methods, the sampling interval, and the standard units in
which the data are printed. The data items include: the year of the
data; the percent of observations for continuous data; the minimum
detectable limit for the method; the arithmetic mean, arithmetic stand-
ard deviation, minimum observation, and maximum observation for the year;
and the number of observations and arithmetic mean for each quarter.
The retrieval and print options, which are based on summary criteria,
are: (1) print all data which meet other selection criteria but do not
print quarterly and yearly statistics which do not meet the summary
criteria, (2) print all data which meet other selection criteria and
flag the statistics when summary criteria are not met, or (3) print only
data which fail the summary criteria with flags on the data.

METEOROLOGICAL AND POLLUTANT SUMMARY STATISTICS PLOT
General Description
This report creates a plot on a CALCOMP plotter or a TEXTROMIX
terminal of one of four different combinations of averages of quarterly
means for up to 50 sites. The four different combinations are: (1) one
meteorological parameter summarized over a specified time period, (2) one
meteorological parameter and one pollutant summarized over a time period,
(3) two meteorological parameters summarized over a time period, and
(4) two meteorological parameters and one pollutant summarized over a time
period.
The plot format has a title (at the top) that is supplied by the
requestor. Under this title is a list of the sites used in the averages
with space for a maximum of 12 sites. Under the site ID's is the list
of pollutant-methoci-interval-units for the selected pollutants and/or
parameters that are plotted,
The plot of the parameters and/or pollutant is given next with all
parameters plotted on one axis system. The X-axis is utilized for the
time scale and the Y-axis is utilized for the parameter or pollutant scale.
The minimum scale value and the delta value may be supplied for each
parameter or pollutant, or they will be calculated by the plot program.
Retrievals Available
The summary statistic plots are generated for any of the four
combinations of parameters and/or pollutants as given above. The selection
criteria required include the specific parameters and/or pollutants, the

No optional sorts are available. The plots are created in the same
order as requested by the retrieval options.

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

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

INTRODUCTION
The R. L. Polk Company compiles national vehicle registration data
annually by collecting county-specific registration data from individual
states. These data are computerized by R. L. Polk and sold to user groups
in a form specified by that group.
R. L. Polk vehicle registration data were purchased by NADB to be
utilized to calculate county-specific emission factors for mobile sources.
In addition, report programs have been developed to generate printed
reports.
The purchased data include a file containing automotive (light duty
vehicle) registration by county and a file containing truck (heavy duty
vehicle) registration by county as of July 1973. The automotive registra-
tion file contains the number of vehicles by model year and county for
1958-73 model years and county total for pre-1958 model years.
The truck registration file contains the number of vehicles by model
year and county for six classes for 1964-73 model years, by model year and
county but unclassified for 1958-63 model years, and a county total for
pre-1958 model years. The six classes, based on weight, are as follows:
(1) Class I = 6,000 Ibs. or less, (2) Class II = 6,001 through 10,000 Ibs.,
(3) Class III = 10,001 through 14,000 Ibs., (4) Class IV = 14,000 through

19,500 IDS., C5) Class V = 19,501 through 26,000 Ibs., and (6) Class VI =
26,001 Ibs. and over.
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Separate formats are utilized for automotive and truck reports, but
both reports list the data contained on the tape files and calculate the
fraction of vehicles for individual categories.
The light duty vehicle report produces a one-page report for each
geographical area. The report includes the report title, the name of the
geographical area, and four columns of data as follows: the vehicle model
year, the vehicle age, the number of vehicles registered by model year,
and the fraction of registered vehicles by model year in the specific
geographical area.
The heavy duty vehicle report produces a two-page report for each
geographical area. The first page includes the report title, the name of
the geographical area, and eight columns of data as follows: the vehicle
model year, number of registered vehicles by model year for each of the
six weight classes, and the number of unclassified vehicles by model year.
The second page includes the report title, the name of the geographical
area, and nine columns of data as follows: the model year, the vehicle
age, the fraction of vehicles in each weight class, and the fraction of
all classes by model year. Either or both pages of this report can be
requested.

RETRIEVALS AVAILABLE
Both the light and heavy duty vehicle reports have the same retrieval
and summary capabilities. The data are retrieved on a state, state/county,
or AQCR basis, and the data are summarized by nation, state, state/county,
or AQCR.
DATA AVAILABILITY
The R. L. Polk registration data were purchased under an agreement
that they would be used only by the U.S. EPA. For this reason, reports
showing vehicle registration by county may be distributed only within
EPA. Reports which give the number of vehicles for the nation, a state ,
or an AQCR or which give the fraction of vehicles per model year for any
geographical area may be released outside EPA.
EXAMPLE REPORTS
Figure 2.10.5.a shows an example of the light duty vehicle report
summarized for the nation. Figure 2.10.5. b shows an example of the heavy
duty vehicle report summarized for the nation.

One recent application of the data compiled by the FPC-67 system has
been to relate emissions characteristics for conventional combustion
systems to boiler type and boiler design characteristics. For this
purpose, the FPC-67 file was obtained in computer-readable form (tape),
and the data contained therein were categorized and summarized by the
following classifications:
o Boiler size
o Furnace type
o Fuel(s) burned
o Firing patterns
o Fly ash reinjection (yes or no)
The information summarized in this classification included the following:
o Fuel consumption
o Steam and electric capacity
o Age
o Emissions
There are many areas in which EPA or other Federal, state, or local
agencies may use these data. For instance, NO emissions and control
/\
method effectiveness appear to be related to boiler size, furnace type,
and firing pattern. Therefore, the Control System Laboratory of EPA may
use the data to prioritize NO control research and development programs.

Similarly, particulate emissions and control device performance are
affected by furnace types and the data summaries may help to plan testing
and development efforts. Other agencies or groups may use the summaries
