AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Most of the area source data in HATREMS has been generated from
NEDS. To add new area source data to NEDS that will be entered later
into HATREMS, code the NEDS Area Source Form described in Section 2.1.1.
To update data already in HATREMS or to add new data to HATREMS
without going through NEDS, code the HATREMS Area Source Form, Figure
2.6.1-a. The term "new data" includes data for "free" area sources that
are not currently defined by the NEDS Area Source Category (ASC's).
The HATREMS Area Source Form has only one card type. This card
records the area source category usage factors and the emissions rates
for each pollutant associated with a specified ASC. Complete one card
for each pollutant emitted.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The HATREMS Point Source Form updates operating and emissions data
that have been entered into HATREMS directly from NEDS. The form can
also be used to add sources that are unique to HATREMS. The HATREMS
Point Source Form shown in Figure 2.6.2-a contains fields to code six
unique cards for each point source.
The first two cards on the HATREMS Point Source Form are identical
to the first two cards on the NEDS Point Source Form.
On cards TWO through SIX, the first 15 columns contain plant and
point unique identifiers. These identifiers must be the same as
in NEDS to update a HATREMS record that has been generated from NEDS.
These identifiers must be different from any other unique identifier in
NEDS to add new data to HATREMS data which is not already in NEDS.
Card THREE contains space to identify up to three control devices.
Card THREE also contains fields for operating schedule information that
correspond to fields on Card FOUR of the NEDS Point Source Form. A
comment field is included.
The form has space to code multiples of Cards FOUR, FIVE, and SIX,
allowing the user to record multiple process and pollutant data for each
point source. The Point Source Form allows the user to code up to three
each of Cards FOUR, FIVE, and SIX. If additional Cards FOUR, FIVE or
SIX are required for a point source, code them on a blank Point Source
Form. Be sure to code card columns 1 through 15 to correspond to the
original Point Source Form. When additional Cards FOUR, FIVE, and SIX
are coded, leave data fields on the other cards on the additional form
blank. Card FOUR records normal and average operating rates for each

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Emissions from sources too small or too difficult to be surveyed
individually are reported collectively as "area sources." The object
of area source calculation is to obtain as accurate an estimate as
possible of this collective contribution to total emissions. In the
NEDS Area Source format, each county or county equivalent (parish, census
division, independent city, etc, for states where counties are not used)
represents the smallest region for which area source emissions are calcu-
lated.
This chapter presents the techniques to be used both for estimating
area source quantities and for completing the Area Source Input Form
shown in Figure 3.1.1-a. The description for each area source discusses
the data collection methods that are used to obtain area source totals,
and states how to fill out the area source coding form and how to ap-
portion the county totals to the proper source categories.
At present there are no EPA requirements for state submittal of
area source emissions data in the NEDS area source format. The National
Air Data Branch (NADB) serves as the chief originator and verifier of
the data in the NEDS area source data bank. NADB welcomes voluntary
submittal by state and local agencies of area source data that are an
improvement over the data generated internally. Originally the data
incorporated into the NEDS area source data bank were collected according
to the procedures outlined in Chapter 5, APTD-1135 J This work was
accomplished by in-house NADB efforts and NADB contractors and produced
data that were representative of the years 1969 to 1971. Subsequently
all of these data have been updated through in-house efforts.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Update 11-2
For future maintenance of the area source data base, NADB plans
an annual update of the NEDS area source files. To accomplish these
updates, computer programs are used which accept as inputs magnetic tapes
and punched card data containing State level fuel use data available
from other governmental publications, along with national, State and
county level data on employment, population, climatic data, vehicle
registrations, vehicle miles travelled and other data items. These
data are used by the programs to compute county level area source activity
data and produce card image records for updating the NEDS area source
file. This entire system is known as the Area Fuel Consumption Allocation
(AFCA) system. Details of AFCA capabilities are discussed in AEROS Volume
IV.
PROCEDURES FOR STATE/LOCAL AGENCY DATA SUBMITTALS
NADB recognizes that some State and local agencies may have access
to information that would provide more accurate area source data than
that prepared by NADB. Therefore, in

order to improve the quality of the data base, such data submittals are
encouraged. To avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, state and local
agencies contemplating such data submittals should be aware of the NADB
programs for reporting area source data. It is not worth the effort in-
volved for a state or local agency to prepare area source data that are
inferior to or duplicate the data prepared by NADB. It is very helpful,
however, for state and local agencies to submit data which will improve
upon or supplement the data generated by NADB. It is asked that the
following guidelines be followed when submitting area source data:
1. The data must be submitted in the standard NEDS area source
format, either on coding forms, punched cards, or card image
tape.
2. Data from state/local agencies should be submitted to the appro-
priate EPA Regional Office, which, in turn, will forward the data
to NADB.
3. If necessary, appropriate documentation should accompany the data
to indicate the source of the data and how the data were derived.
There are numerous reasons for requiring documentation to accompany
the data. First, NADB must have some criteria to determine whether the
data submitted are in fact an improvement over the existing NADB data.
Second, NADB must be able to answer questions concerning the data base.
If no references are available, NADB can only refer the questioner to the
agency that supplied the data. In addition, NADB is interested in identi-
fying new sources of information which may be useful for refinement of the
present methods for reporting area source data. The documentation does not
need to be extensive. If the area source data are calculated based on other

data, include a sample calculation to show the method for deriving the
area source data. It is not necessary to submit extensive sheets of
calculations or all the intermediate data used in calculations, since
determination of the method used to derive the data is the prime con-
sideration.
SUGGESTED DIRECTION FOR STATE/LOCAL DATA COLLECTION
The following sections, which cover the procedures for coding and
collection of area source data for the NEDS, emphasize the general tech-
niques which may be used by a State or local agency to make improvements
upon the area source data prepared by NADB. It is not intended that the
methods discussed therein represent a complete list of all methods which
may be used for the collection of area source data. Other sources of
data known to State and local agencies may be excellent sources of infor-
mation. Use of other data sources is encouraged if such use will provide
more accurate, detailed data than could be obtained through the standard
techniques. Use of all such techniques should be properly documented,
however, according to the criteria previously noted.

may be able to provide useful Information. Modifications of
the above equations may provide relationships for predicting
residential, commercial-institutional, or industrial space
heating fuel oil use which can be summed to obtain grid,
county, or state totals. It 1s suggested that the derived
totals be adjusted to conform with the state totals given 1n
literature references. This step in effect corrects for
variations in the parameters used in the above equations.
2. COAL CONSUMPTION
It may be necessary to determine consumption of both anthracite and
bituminous coal. Anthracite, or hard coal, is produced almost ex-
clusively in Pennsylvania and 1s available 1n significant quanti-
ties only in states that are within easy shipping distance from
Pennsylvania. Anthracite may be consumed by all source categories,
although most is used by residential sources. Bituminous, or
soft coal, is available in most areas of the country. Also in-
cluded as bituminous coal are the lower grades of sub-bituminous
coal and lignite. Bituminous coal is often favored for use by
electric utilities, manufacturing industries, and coke producers.
Bituminous coal is used 1n some areas for residential and com-
mercial -insti tutional heating.
a. NADB Method. The same general techniques used for fuel oil
may be adapted to determine coal consumption. In the method

Tons of coal per dwelling unit = 0.003874 ~ Degree-Days ' ¦'
The number of dwelling units using coal for space heating is
obtained from reference 12 and is updated annually based on
additional data from the Bureau of Mines10 or the Bureau of
the Census. Degree-days are obtained from reference 20. The
coal use predicted by Equation (4) is distributed between
anthracite and bituminous coal based on the estimated residential
25
market share of each. Use of coal for non-space heating pur-
poses is ignored. Methods used for calculation of commercial -
institutional and industrial coal use are virtually identical
to those discussed for fuel oil. The fuel use totals are ob-
tained from references 10 and 26, with the same general pro-
cedures used to calculate area source totals which are appor-
tioned to counties.
b. Alternatives to NADB Method. Again, to improve on the data pre-
pared by NADB for NEDS, it is suggested that the acquisition of
non-published data is the best approach. Obtaining sales data
from coal dealers and distributors, surveys of individual
sources or source categories, use of source permit or registra-
tion systems, etc., are methods that may provide useful data.
Since the emissions from coal-fired boilers vary a great deal
from one type of boiler to another, source surveys or use of
source registration data for coal users are particularly use-
ful. By determining the types of boilers and furnaces in
service plus the extent of controls applied, emissions from
area source coal use can be hand calculated and entered into

the amount of dust generated are vehicle speed and type of surface.
Other variables influencing dust emissions are the wind speed,
surface moisture, and type of vehicle. To determine the dust
emissions, it is necessary to estimate vehicle-miles of travel on
unpaved roads. Such estimates, or at least the total mileage of
unpaved roads, may be obtained from state highway departments. If
only miles of unpaved roads are available, the average traffic
volume must be estimated. Estimation of average traffic volume
should take into account the type of road (primitive, unimproved,
graded, or gravel) and location (urban, rural, suburban, etc.).
Emissions may then be calculated using emission factors. Suggested
emission factors for unpaved roads are included in Compilation of
27
Air Pollutant Emission Factors, Supplement No. 5. NADB has com-
65
piled VMT on unpaved roads by county. County unpaved road
37
mileage derived from state mileage data is apportioned to counties
on the basis of total population for urban areas and farm acreage
for rural areas. Average traffic volume as a function of total
population has also been derived based on data for a selected number
of states. These factors are combined to produce VMT by county.
2. Unpaved airstrips (spaces 17-21, Section 5): Many of the same
factors affecting emissions from unpaved roads also are applicable
to unpaved airstrips. To estimate aircraft LTO's on unpaved air-
strips, the operators of such airfields should be contacted. NADB
has compiled LTO cycles for unpaved airstrips based on data from
66
the Federal Aviation Administration showing U.S. airstrips by
surface type and number of based aircraft at each airstrip.
3. Agricultural land tilling (spaces 33-37, Section 5): Dust may
result from several of the tilling operations necessary for soil
preparation. The soil type and the desired change in soil struc-
ture determine the particular tilling procedure which is used.
Tilling techniques include:

rough plowing, mulch plowing, and the cutting of narrow slits in the
sod into which seed and fertilizer may be placed. In any case, the
soil is disturbed in a manner which changes the structure of the soil.
The soil type, surface moisture, and resulting tool speed affect the
quantity of dust generated. The type of equipment used and the wind
speed also have some effect on dust generation. To estimate the dust
emissions, the number of acres tilled must be determined. The
51
Census of Agriculture reports cropland acreage. Also, officials
of state agriculture departments or county agricultural extension
agents should be able to provide such data. These officials should
be able to furnish information about the tillage practices used.
The Census of Agriculture was used to obtain the data in NEDS. It
was assumed there were three tillings for each acre of harvested crop-
cc
land. Emission factors for agricultural tilling are included in
Supplement No. 5 to Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors
(AP-42).27
4. Heavy construction (spaces 22-27, Section 5): Road and building
construction activity results in generation of dust. Land clearing,
excavation, and vehicle traffic around the construction site are
principal causes of dust emissions. The soil type, moisture, wind
speed, and type of operations taking place are the principal facotrs
influencing emissions. An estimate of the area subject to highway
construction may be obtained from highway departments. Estimates of
the area subject to building construction may be obtained from local
public works departments or similar agencies responsible for con-
struction permit applications. To estimate the extent of construction
activity for NEDS, state level construction employment data67 have been
converted to acres of construction66 and the resulting totals apportioned
to counties. Emission factors for heavy construction will also be in-
27
eluded in Supplement No. 5 to AP-42.

State (Columns 1-2)
The State Code is a two-digit code indicating the State in which
the area source data was gathered. The State code is entered in the
first two columns of the HATREMS Area Source Form. The AEROS list of
State Codes includes codes for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The zero must be included
in State Codes 01-09. The State Codes are in Section 2.1.0 of AEROS
Volume V, Manual of-Codes.
County (Columns 3-6)
The County Code is a four-digit code indicating the county or
county equivalent in which the area source data was collected. The code
is entered in columns three through six of the HATREMS Area Source Form.
The County Codes are in Section 2.2.0 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of
Codes. The county codes in this section are identified by *. For
Massachusetts, county equivalents have been designated. These codes are
also found in Section 2.2.0 of Volume V. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada,
and Virginia each include cities that are county equivalents. Their
codes are in Section 2.6.0 of Volume V. Each space in the County Code
field must be completed.
Air Quality Control Region (Columns 7-9)
The Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) Code is a three-digit code
that identifies the AQCR in which the county or county equivalent
(Columns 3-6) is located. Since AQCR's and counties or county equiva-
lents overlap, portions of a single county can be in more than one AQCR.

Area Source Category (Columns 10-11)
The ASC is a two-character code that identifies the source of the
emission of the pollutant coded in columns 12-16. For example, the ASC
for Residential Anthracite Coal is 01. The HATREMS ASC's are the same
as the NEDS ASC's, and when updates are made to HATREMS data that have
been created directly from NEDS, the ASC coded on the HATREMS card must
correspond to the NEDS ASC code. The NEDS ASC's are listed in Section
3.11.0 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of Codes. The NEDS ASC's are all
numeric.

the physical state of a pollutant. The remaining characters are numeric;
they specifically identify the pollutant. The pollutant state codes are
in Section 8.4.0 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of Codes. The pollutant
identifier codes are in Section 8.4.1 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of
Codes. ATI five characters of the pollutant code must be completed when
data are added or changed in the HATREMS file.
Multiple ASC/pollutant combinations can exist for a single area
source. A separate card is required for each ASC/pollutant combination.
If multiple ASC/pollutant combinations apply to a specific area source,
the same area source identifiers must be coded into columns 1-9 on each
of the cards that applies to that area source.
CODING THE DATA FIELDS
The HATREMS data fields contain source activity rates and emissions
data specific to the ASC/pollutant combination coded in the category
fields discussed in the preceding section.
Year of Record (Columns 17-18)
Year of record is a two-character numeric code corresponding to
the year for which the data are representative, not the year in which
the coding is done.
Source Rate (Columns 19-25)
Source rate is the area source equivalent of the annual throughput
of a point source. Emissions are calculated by applying an emission

factor to the source rate for a specific ASC/pollutant combination.
Source rate units vary with the area source categories, e.g. ASC 01,
Residential Anthracite Coal, has units of tons/yr., while ASC AE, Brake
Lining Wear, has units of million vehicle miles traveled/yr. Section
8.5 of this volume gives the source rate units/ASC. The Source Rate
must be right-justified, and it is always numeric. Decimals are not
allowed.
Source Activity Factor (Columns 26-31)
To calculate emission rates for four selected area source cate-
gories, the Source Activity Factor must be applied to the Source Rate.
ASC 60, for example, is Forest Wild Fires with source rate units of
acres of forest. The Source Activity Factor is the number of tons per
acre of forest burned per year. The following calculation shows the
annual throughput equivalent for this ASC for a forest area of 1,000
acres where five tons per year are burned:
annual throughput equivalent = source rate/yr. X source activity fac-
tor/yr.
= 1,000 acres X 5 tons burned/acre/year
= 5,000 tons burned/year
The emission factor is then applied to the product of Source Rate
and Source Activity Factor to calculate the annual emissions for the
area source. The four ASC's that require source activity factors are:

fraction of fewer than three decimal places is used, fill the unused
decimal spaces with zeros. If a whole number is used, fill the entire
decimal portion of the field with zeros. If columns 32-36 are left
blank, the system will calculate the emissions rates by applying the
Source Rate (and the Source Activity Factor in the cases described
above) to the HATREMS Emission Factor File.
Exponent (Columns 37-38)
The exponent is a positive or negative power of ten to be applied
to the emissions coded in columns 32-36. The sign (+ or -) is always
coded in column 37. The exponent is always coded in column 38. Always
code the sign, even when it is positive. As an example, 5,050 tons/yr.

The Comments field allows the user to record any information
pertinent to the ASC/pollutant data sources or method of emissions
calculations. Any combination of alphabetic or numeric data can be
entered into this field. Completion of this field is optional.
CODING THE CONTROL FIELDS
The control fields include an Action Code and a preprinted Card
Code. These codes are used to tell the computer how to handle the data.

Action Code (Column 78)
The Action Code signals an add, change, or delete operation. The
only valid codes for this are:
A add
C change
D Delete
The Action Code must be completed for every HATREMS area source
card. The action codes affect only the HATREMS data bank, not the NEDS
data bank.
When data are added to HATREMS, even if HATREMS already contains
other data for the same area source, i.e. other ASC/pollutant combina-
tions, the information must be input with an Action Code of "A".
To delete an area source or an ASC/pollutant combination from
HATREMS, use Action Code "D." Coding the first sixteen spaces of the
area source card and a "D" in column 78 will delete the ASC/pollutant
data from the HATREMS file.
To change a data field, code the first sixteen spaces to correspond
to the identifier of the HATREMS record to be changed. Code the new
information in the applicable data field. Leave the other data fields
blank. Code a "C" in column 78. Caution: once a change transaction
has been performed manually on a HATREMS area source, the source will
not be included in future automatic updates to HATREMS from NEDS.
Note: Adds, changes, and deletes must be coded at the ASC/pollutant
level, not at the ASC level alone.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
HATREMS POINT SOURCE FORM
For a general description of the HATREMS Point Source Form refer to
Section 2.6.2.
The HATREMS Point Source Form (Figure 3.6.2-a) is used to organize
emissions data into computer-readable format for keypunching and sub-
sequent entry into computerized data files. Therefore the POINT SOURCE
FORM must be COMPLETED CORRECTLY.
In coding the HATREMS Point Source Form, alphabetic information is
left justified, but numeric information is right justified. The only
exception to this rule involves a decimal point. The decimal point is
indicated by a triangle preprinted on the form. The data is entered so
that the decimal point in the data corresponds to the triangle on the
form. Zeros are entered in all the remaining columns of the field.
Like the NEDS coding form, the HATREMS coding form is divided into
three sections: identifiers, action codes, and data fields.
Identifiers
HATREMS identifiers are similar to those used by NEDS, except that
pollutant identifiers appear on HATREMS cards FIVE and SIX. The follow-
ing columns are used as identifiers by the HATREMS System:

No blanks are allowed in the identifier fields of Cards ONE through
FIVE except the city code on card ONE (columns 14-17), which should be
left blank if the facility is located outside the city limits of the
cities identified in the AEROS Manual, Volume V. The degree to which
identifier fields for Card 6 must be coded depends on the level of
operation to which the Card 6 refers. When HATREMS data are coded for
an existing NEDS source, the identifiers must be the same as those used
to identify the source in NEDS.
Control Codes
Control codes tell the computer how to process the data. All con-
trol code fields (columns 78, 79, and 80) must be filled in on each
card. Column 78 indicates whether the data on the coding form adds,
changes or deletes data already in the data bank. Column 79 indicates
that the source is a point source. Column 80 indicates the card number
for this particular emission point.
The procedures for adding, changing, or deleting HATREMS point
source data are the same as for NEDS.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Use an "add" transaction to add data to the HATREMS file for point
sources and/or pollutants that have not previously been entered into
HATREMS.
Use a "change" transaction to change data already in the HATREMS
file. Code only the field to be changed; leave the remaining fields
blank. If non-HATREMS specific data are to be changed, they should be
changed in NEDS with subsequent update of HATREMS from the automatic
NEDS-HATREMS update procedure. Also when source data are changed manu-
ally in HATREMS the change is not reflected in NEDS, and the HATREMS
point source affected will not be updated automatically from NEDS in the
future.
Use a "delete" transaction to remove a HATREMS point source or
point source/pollutant combination from the file. If a point source is
to be deleted from both NEDS and HATREMS delete it from NEDS and let the
automatic update procedure delete it from HATREMS.
Data Fields
Data fields constitute the rest of the form. The discussion that
follows applies to the fields individually or in groups. It will start
with card ONE and continue through card SIX. The information will be
presented in text form and will be illustrated where necessary. The
first three cards of the HATREMS Point Source coding sheet contain
information from the NEDS. Only a brief description of this information
will be given here. For more complete information, the user should con-
sult Section 3.1.2 on the NEDS Point Source Form preparation.

HATREMS card THREE contains some of the information contained on
cards THREE and FOUR in NEDS. In addition HATREMS card THREE provides a
comments section. For more detail consult Section 3.1.2, instructions
for completing NEDS Card THREE.
Control Equipment (Columns 18-26)
This field is divided into three subfields providing space to
describe primary, secondary and tertiary pollution control equipment.
Columns 18-20 - The primary control equipment is any device whose main
purpose is reducing emission of a pollutant, and it is reported by an
entry in Columns 18-20. When none of the equipment codes appear to be
applicable, choose the code that most clearly resembles the actual
equipment and include a comment in columns 40-77 of card THREE. Report
only control devices that reduce otherwise uncontrolled emissions. Do
not report equipment, for example recycling equipment, which as a normal
part of the source activity incidentally reduces the quantity of the
pollutants emitted.

Columns 21-23 - The secondary control equipment is a device following in
series another device designed to remove the same pollutant. Engineer-
ing judgment must be used to determine whether a device installed pri-
marily for removal of one pollutant also removes another pollutant.
Columns 24-26 - The tertiary control equipment is a device following in
series the secondary control equipment designed to remove the same
pollutant. Control equipment identification codes are in Section 3.3.0
of Volume V, AEROS Manual of Codes.
Code all control devices applicable to the point source even if
the devices are not directly applicable to the HATREMS pollutant being
coded.
Comments (Columns 40-77)
The comments field on card THREE provides additional clarification
of the control equipment coded in columns 18-26. Because hazardous
pollutant control is an expanding area it is unlikely that the control
codes could fully detail all devices in use. This comments field pro-
vides the user the opportunity to explain a particular control device.

information is also coded on HATREMS card FOUR. A comments field is
included for further clarification of operating rate, design rates or
growth projections. There is a space provided for multiples of card
FOUR, allowing the user to enter multiple process and pollutant opera-
ting data for each point source. Up to three cards FOUR may be entered
on a single coding sheet. Additional cards FOUR can be coded using
additional forms. If multiple cards FOUR are coded, code only one card
for each Point ID-SCC combination. Duplicate Point ID-SCC cards are not
acceptable.
The SCC codes and applicable units are in Section 3.7.0 of AEROS
Volume V Manual of Codes.
Average Design Rate (Columns 40-46)
The average design rate is expressed in the same units as the SCC,
except that it is converted to an hourly rate. Note: the preprinted
triangle between card columns 43 and 44 represents an implied decimal
point.
10-Year Growth Projections (Columns 47-49)
The total estimated percent growth in yearly production expected
over the next ten years should be entered in this field. This infor-

Card FIVE contains pollutant-specific emission data. A separate
card should be coded for each pollutant emitted at the emission point.
Up to three cards FIVE may be entered on a single coding form for each
emission point. Additional cards FIVE can be coded on additional forms
if needed. Only one card FIVE can be coded for each SCC/pol1utant
combination. Coded information includes control equipment efficiency,
emission parameter, emissions and method codes for determination of the
data and a comments field for clarification of the data.

Pollutant Code (Columns 26-30)
Pollutant codes to be used in HATREMS are listed in Section 8.4.0 of
Volume V, Manual of Codes. The first digit indicates the physical state
of the pollutant. The next four digits identify the specific pollutant
being emitted. Should any pollutant be added to HATREMS in the future,
the pollutant code may be found in the HATREMS pollutant codes, Section
8.4.2 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of Codes.
Analytical Method (Column 31)
The analytical method codes correspond to the last digit of the
SOTDAT pollutant code. When the specific method of analysis depends on
the substance being analyzed, code a general method of analysis in
column 31 and enter the name of the technique in the comments section of
this card. Enter this code only when reporting stack test data.
Otherwise leave this field blank. The codes are in Section 8.4.3, AEROS
Volume V, Manual of Codes.
Control Equipment Efficiency (Columns 32-36)
The overall collection efficiency, in percent by weight, of all
control equipment at the emission point will be entered in this field
for each pollutant. (There is a separate card FIVE for each pollutant.)
Assume that the pollutant load entering the control equipment is the
normal, uncontrolled quantity for a specific process. If removal
efficiency for a particular pollutant is unknown, leave columns 32-36
blank. If there is no effective removal, enter zeros in all columns.

Method Code (Column 37)
The control efficiency method code tells the user information about
how the control equipment efficiency was calculated. This code enables
differentation between stack test methods which are approved by the EPA
and those which are not and between tests for the specific pollutant and
estimates based on another related pollutant (e.g. the use of total
particulates for lead). It also allows differentation among stack
tests, engineering estimate, or published factor. The control equipment
efficiency method codes are in Section 8.2.0 of Volume V, Manual of
Codes.
Emission Parameter (Columns 38-41)
It is necessary to know the percent of the pollutant in the fuel
before emissions of a combustion source may be calculated. Fossil fuels
vary widely in the concentrations of minor constituents and this emission
parameter is an essential part of an accurate emission estimate. This
information is coded in scientific notation. Columns 38-39 are coded
with the significant figures of the emission parameter. Column 40 is
used to indicate the scientific notation of the mixed number in columns
38-39. Column 41 is used to designate the exponent of the number. For
example, a fuel with a lead content of .011 percent lead would be
entered as follows:

The emission parameters for each SCC are in the HATREMS Point Source
Emission Factor Table, Section 8.6.0 of AEROS Volume V, Manual of Codes.
Emission Parameter Method Code (Column 42)
The purpose of the emission parameter method code is to tell the
user about the source of the emission parameter. Differentiations are
made among fuel analysis, use of published source, and use of fuel
supplier information. The emission parameter method codes are in Sec-
tion 8.3.0 of Volume V, Manual of Codes.
Emissions (Column 43-47)
Hand calculated emissions may be entered in columns 43-47. Esti-
mates should be in total tons per year and entered in scientific nota-
tion format. If a 3 (emissions computer-calculated using emission
factors in HATREMS) is entered in the emissions method code, no value
need be entered and the computer will calculate the emissions using an
average emission factor value. If codes 1, 2, 4, or 5 are entered in
the emissions method code field, then hand-calculated emissions must be
coded in columns 43-47. If codes 6 or 7 are entered in the emissions
method code field, enter a zero in column 47 indicating no emissions.
Emissions Method Code (Column 48)
The purpose of the emissions method code is to give the user
information about the method used to calculate the emissions estimate.
Differentiations are made among estimates based on source test, esti-
mates based on engineering knowledge, estimates based on an emission
factor, and estimates made by the computer. If the emissions field,

A comments field is available for each pollutant entered on card
FIVE. This field should be used to clarify the methods used to calcu-
late the control efficiency, the emission parameter or the emission.
Also when the flag code 1 is used, the comments section should give the
name of the agency or company that performed the particle sizing mea-
surements.

the identifier is associated with a specific card FIVE by the identifier
columns (columns 1-30). Columns 1 through 13 are always completed if
Card SIX is used. Columns 14 through 30 are completed depending on
whether comments refer to the plant, point, SCC, or pollutant level.
Comments - Column 31-77
Card SIX provides space for additional comments in columns 31
through 77, or 46 columns. There are four kinds (uses) of card SIX.
Plant Card SIX - This card is used for additional comments applying to
the entire plant or facility. It is identified by leaving blank the
Point ID field columns 14-15, the SCC field columns 18-25 of card SIX,
and the Pollutant field columns 26-30 of card SIX. All other columns,
except Comment field columns 31-77, should be filled out as per previous
instructions on cards ONE and FIVE. Only one Plant Card SIX is allowed
per Plant ID.
Point Card SIX - This version of card SIX is used for additional comments
applying to a Point ID. It is identified by leaving blank the SCC field
columns 18-25 and the Pollutant field columns 26-30. All other columns,
except comment field columns 31-77, should be filled out as per previous
instructions on card ONE and card FIVE. Only one Point Card SIX is
allowed per Point ID.
SCC Card SIX - This version of Card SIX is used for additional comments
applying to an SCC. It is identified by leaving blank the Pollutant
field columns 26-30. All other columns except comment field columns

31-77 should be filled out as per previous instructions on Card ONE and
Card FIVE. Only one SCC Card SIX is allowed per SCC.
Pollutant Card SIX - This version of card SIX is used for additional
comments applying to a specific pollutant. It is identified by complet-
ing all columns except comment field columns 31-77 as per previous
instructions. Only one Pollutant Card SIX is allowed per pollutant. Up
to a total of three cards SIX are permitted on a single form per point
ID.
The previous instructions in this section have provided the procedures
that an engineer would need to code the emissions data that have been col-
lected by questionnaire or permit. In order to permit the storage of data
that have been correctly coded, a more complete explanation of the action
codes is necessary. This will insure that data will not be rejected because
the incorrect action code was utilized.
The point source file is updated by two procedures: (1) automatic
updating from NEDS point source file, and (2) manual update of data that
are coded on HATREMS point source forms. In order to utilize the correct
action code, the engineer must be aware of the current data stored in both
the NEDS and HATREMS point source files.
The automatic update from NEDS utilizes operating information from
the NEDS point source file and the HATREMS point source emission factor
file to calculate emissions. Emissions will be calculated for each SCC in
NEDS that has an emission factor for a specific pollutant in the HATREMS

point source emission factor file. Each time an automatic update is per-
formed, the HATREMS point source file, is completely recreated rather than
the updating of specific records. The following formula is utilized to
calculate the emissions during the automatic recreate:
M = Emissions in T/Y
OR = Operating rate from NEDS
EF = Emission factor from HATREMS point source emission factor file
DM = Default multiplier from HATREMS point source emission factor file
W = NEDS control efficiency for the pollutant flagged
Y = Control efficiency multiplier from the HATREMS point source
emission factor file
The data created by the automatic update is stored in a format similar
to card 5 of the manual input form. All other data remains in NEDS and
must be retrieved from NEDS to produce a point source report as described
in Section 2.5.2 of Volume III.
The manual update combines the data that have been coded on the HATREMS
point source form and the HATREMS point source file which was automatically
created from NEDS data. This update creates data records similar to cards
1P-6P of the point source form and flags these records as being manually
created. If all cards 1P-6P are not submitted, some missing data are

retrieved from NEDS and also flagged as manual data. Once the records
are flagged as manual data, the automatic update from NEDS will not change
or delete these records from the HATREMS point source file.
The coder must be sure that the same key (State, county, AQCR, plant,
point, SCC) is utilized for coding the HATREMS point source data as was
utilized to initially enter the data into NEDS. Once the correct key has
been utilized, the following guidelines should be utilized to select the
correct action code for manual updates.
Delete Action Code
1. Card IP Removes all information for the plant with specific key.
2. Card 2P Removes all information for the point with the specific
key. If no other points exist for the plant, the plant
information will be deleted.
3. Card 3P Rejects as an invalid transaction.
4. Card 4P Removes all information for the SCC with the specific
key. If no other SCC exists for the point, the point
will be deleted; and if no other points exist, the plant
will be deleted.
5. Card 5P Removes all information for the pollutant with the specific
key. If no other pollutant exist for the SCC, the SCC
will be deleted. If no other SCC exists for the point,
the point will be deleted; and if no other points exist,
the plant will be deleted.
6. Card 6P Rejects as an invalid transaction.

Any delete for cards IP, 2P, 4P and 5P will be rejected when the specific
key can not be matched. Records which are manually deleted will be recreated
by the automatic update from NEDS unless the plant, point, and/or SCC are
deleted from NEDS.
Change Action Code
1. Cards IP, 2P, 3P, 4P, & 6P Changes the individual data items that
have been coded whenever the specified key is found. In
order to be processed, the records must have been previously
submitted as a manual update or must have been created from
NEDS by the procedures discussed below.
2. Card 5P Changes the individual data items that have been coded
whenever the key is found. If the record 5P was previously
automatically created from NEDS, the data from cards 1P-

AEFtOS USER'S MANUAL
Update 11-2
This section is included to review the data processing procedures
from the initial collection of data through the submittal of data to EPA
Regional Offices. Although the following individual sections will address
the processing of NEDS and SAROAD data, similar procedures should be fol-
lowed in processing data for State systems or the individual sub-systems of
the Comprehensive Data Handling System.
These procedures are an attempt to transfer the knowledge which has
been gained by the National Air Data Branch from data processing, data
evaluation, error identification, and error resolution to State and local
agencies.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Emissions data are estimates of the amount of pollution generated by
a specific source or industrial process. Although emissions data may be
collected and calculated on a daily or hourly basis, emissions data which
are reported for NEDS purposes represent annual emission estimates based
on source operating characteristics or based on extrapolation of source
test data.
To compile an emissions inventory, the control agency must collect the
operating information from individual plants or point sources through a
permit or registration system. In some cases when sources are not covered
by the permit or registration system, the control agency may collect data
by supplemental emission inventory questionnaires.
The original NEDS emission inventories were compiled by the conversion
of operating information which was gathered by permit or registration sys-
tems or supplemental questionnaires. As changes in the source operating
characteristics are reflected in the permit or questionnaires, this data
must be updated in the emission inventory.
To update an emission inventory, the current permit or registration
forms or supplementary questionnaires for the sources and an output showing
the current status of the existing NEDS inventory must be utilized. This
output could include a NEDS point source listing for each source, a NEDS
plant name report which shows the plant name and number, or a report from

the State compatible system. To actually update the emission inventory,
Section 2.1.2 should be reviewed to identify which sources must be reported
according to EPA regulations, Section 3.1.2 should be reviewed for coding
procedures, and AEROS Volume V must be utilized for the specific codes.
Since the current NEDS point source file will be updated with infor-
mation from the permit or other data source, the identifiers (State, county,
AQCR, plant, point, SCC) which exist for the specific plant, point, and '
process must be utilized. The correct transaction code must also be uti-
lized to insure that data will be added to, changed, or deleted from the
existing NEDS file. An add transaction code is utilized to add a new plant,
point, and process. If a new plant is added, a new plant identifier is
assigned, if a new point is added to an existing plant, the existing plant
identifier is utilized and a new point identifier is assigned. If a new
process is added to an existing point, the point identifier is utilized and
the correct SCC is assigned. A change transaction is utilized to update
existing data in the file, and the existing identifier must be utilized.
A delete transaction is utilized to delete existing data from the file, and
the existing identifier must be utilized.
After the data have been coded utilizing the permit file and existing
NEDS data, the coding forms should be reviewed by another engineer who is
familiar with NEDS and data processing. The specific validation checks
should include:
1. Checking to insure that the identifier and action code are coded
correctly.

The above validation and consistency checks are only a few of the
computerized edits which are performed by the NEDS Editor program in the
Regional Office. To minimize rejections by the editor, the coder and
reviewer should be familiar with the NEDS edits as described in Section
7.1.1. The reviewer should implement any additional screening procedures
as practical based on the NEDS edits. Section 7.1.1 should also be uti-
lized by the coder and reviewer as a reference when correcting rejects
and warnings which have been received from the Regional Office.
After the coding forms have been validated and initialed-by the
checker, the keypunching instructions which are included in Section 4.1.2
should be followed. Forms are subject to being lost, therefore a photo-
copy should be made, but the original should be utilized for keypunching.
As indicated by the keypunch instructions, all keypunching must be veri-
fied to insure that no errors were made. The verification process must
be done by a different keypunch operator than punched the original
cards. The separate operator must utilize the forms and the keypunched
cards and repunch the cards in the verification option of the keypunch
machine. The machine will identify any difference between the card and
the information punched by the second operator. Any differences must be
corrected.
The data may be submitted as forms, cards or magnetic tape based on
the agreement made between the Regional Office and the submitting agency.
Each agency must submit a 'NEDS State Transmittal Form', Figure 6.3.1-a
with each submittal. Section 5.3.1 describes the procedures to utilize to
submit cards, forms, or tapes.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
This chapter will present an overview of the recommended procedures
to be followed from the establishment of a site to the reporting of air
quality data to the Regional Office in SAROAD format.
An air monitoring site is established as part of the State Air
monitoring network to meet the data needs of the State and EPA. The
data requirements will determine the pollutants monitored and sampling
procedures. The individual pollutants which are monitored will result in
the site being located to meet the siting guidelines which have been
developed by U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
After a site has been located, the information is collected to describe
the environment of the site. If the air quality data which are collected
at the site are to be reported to NADB, the SAROAD site identification
form must be coded to register the site. This registration must include
a separate site registration for each different agency and/or monitoring
project. As the environment of the site changes, these changes must be
updated on the site file. If a site location is changed, the new location
must be registered with a SAROAD site identification form as a new site.
To facilitate data reporting and validation the following listings
should be compiled: (1) site list and (2) pollutant-method list. A
separate site list should be compiled for each pollutant monitored. This
list should include the collection and analysis method as well as the
start and/or end dates for monitoring at the site. The pollutant-method

list should be maintained for each pollutant and collection and analysis
method which is utilized. This list should include the following infor-
mation by pollutant-method: (1) reporting units and code, (2) sampling
interval code, (3) standard decimal point locator, (4) minimum detectable
limit, (5) a maximum expected value, and (6) name and method-code of the
collection and analysis method.
The actual data coding and processing begins when data from the
reduced strip charts have been received or when the data from the field
and laboratory analysis have been received. As the data are received for
coding, the data forms must be checked to insure that the identifiers (site
code, pollutant-method code, sampling interval, reporting units, and year,
month, day, hour) are included for the data values. As data are received,
coding will be done utilizing SAROAD Forms 1, 2, or 3, utilizing the cod-
ing instructions given in Section 3.4 and utilizing the codes contained
in AEROS Volume V, Manual of Codes. The site list should be checked to
insure that the site pollutant combination is valid. The pollutant method
list should be checked to insure that the method is correct, that the units
are consistently reported from month to month, and that the sampling inter-
val code and decimal point indicator are correct. Any values which are
higher than the maximum expected value should be evaluated and values which
are lower than the minimum detectable should be coded as '0000'.
After the data have been coded, another person should review the
coding forms to insure that the correct codes have been utilized for all
fields, that all coding is legible and clear, and that data values are
correctly coded. This review may only include a random sample of the forms
rather than all forms, however the reviewed forms should be initialed by
the checker.

After the above inspection has been complete and any corrections made,
the forms should be ready for keypunching. Forms are subject to being
lost, therefore a photocopy should be made, but the originals should be uti-
lized for keypunching. The keypunch instructions as given in Sections 4.4.1
to 4.4.6 should be followed. As indicated by the keypunch instructions, all
keypunching must be verified to insure that no keypunch errors are made.
The verification process must be done by a different keypunch operator than

After the data have been keypunched and can be analyzed by computer
techniques, two additional checks are recommended. The first check is to
process the data with the validation techniques which are presented in
Guideline Series, OAQPS NO. 1.2-092, "Guidelines for Screening Procedures
For Ambient Air Quality Data."' The second check is to list the data and
perform another manual review to insure that no consistent keypunch errors
were made. This second check may not be possible for large volumes of

data, but the first check should be implemented for all data. After any
errors which were identified have been corrected, the data should be ready
for submission to the Regional Office.
The submission of data must be in SAROAD format in the medium (forms,
cards, tapes) which has been agreed to by the Regional Office. Again, to
insure that data are not lost, duplicate records should be maintained until
the data have been processed by the Regional Office. Each submission of
data must include a 'SAROAD State Transmittal Form' (Figure 6.3.2-a),
'Magnetic Tape File Transmittal Form' (Figure 6.3.3-a) with each tape file,
and 'Data Not Submitted With Quarterly Report' (Figure 6.3.2-b) to document
missing data.
Since the SAROAD Forms do not contain an update action code, data must
be segregated by action code and this action code must be specified on the
SAROAD State Transmittal Form. Data with an incorrect action code will
be rejected in the update. Data must be submitted as adds when the data
are initially submitted, as changes to correct data values stored on the
data bank, or as deletes to remove invalid data from the data bank. If
processed as an add, or change a value of '9999' will be ignored. If
processed as a delete, a value of '9999' will delete the value. If processed
as a change with the delete option, a value of '9999' will delete the
existing value.

The submission of NEDS or SAROAD Data must be in the medium (form,
cards, tapes) which has been agreed to by the Regional Office. Of the
three forms, magnetic tape is the easiest to submit as long as the tape
format is compatible.
The following guidelines must be followed in submitting magnetic tapes:
1. The tape must be a 0.5 inch wide magnetic tape with 7 or 9 tracks
and a recording density of 556, 800, or 1600 bits per inch.
2. A 'Magnetic Tape Transmittal Form' (Figure 6.3.3-a) must be sub-
mitted for each data set. This must include all information completed on
the form to describe the characteristics of the tape and must be correct to
insure that the data will be processed.
3. The data on the tape must be in NEDS or SAROAD format which
includes a record length of 80 characters per record. The block size must
be specified on the transmittal form.
4. The tape must have a return address label and an identification
number attached.
5. Each tape should be individually packaged, addressed, and labeled

PURPOSE
The NEDS Control Log (Figure 6.2.1-a) can be used by Regional Office
personnel to provide an overview of the flow of NEDS data through the
Regional Office. Information recorded here is concerned principally with
interaction with submitting state agencies and the National Air Data
Branch (NADB) and with resolution of errors found. Information on pro-
cessing steps within the Regional Office is recorded on the NEDS Batch
Sheet (see 7.2.1), referenced by the R.O. Identification Number for each
data submission. Although it can be used as a running log of NEDS data
submissions, the NEDS Control Log's overview function can be better served
if it is organized by year, with all states on a single page.
This form should be modified as appropriate to reflect Regional
Office needs, including elimination of any unneeded columns and addition
of any columns which may be useful. For example, the form could be
expanded to legal size and several columns added at the double vertical
line to reflect interaction between administrative and data processing
groups in the Regional Offices.
PROCEDURE
The NEDS Control Log (Figure 6.2.1-a) is completed as follows. Each
paragraph represents a specific step in Regional Office NEDS activities.
Receipt by Regional Office: Upon initial receipt of a NEDS data
submission, R.O. personnel should fill out the first six columns of the

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
PURPOSE
The SAROAD Control Log (Figure 6.2.2-a) can be used by Regional Office
personnel to provide an*overview of the flow of SAROAD data through the
Regional Office. Information recorded here is concerned principally with
interaction with submitting state agencies and the National Air Data
Branch (NADB) and with resolution of errors found. Information on pro-
cessing steps within the Regional Office is recorded on the SAROAD Batch
Sheet (see 7.2.2), referenced by the R.O. Identification Number for each
data submission. Although it can be used as a running log of SAROAD data
submissions, the SAROAD. Control Log's overview function can be better
served if it is organized by quarter, with all states on a single page.
This may be especially useful to personnel assessing compliance with SIP
reporting requirements.
This form should be modified as appropriate to reflect Regional
Office needs, including elimination of any unneeded columns and addition
of any columns which may be useful. For example, the form could be
expanded to legal size and several columns added at the double vertical
line to reflect interaction between administrative and data processing
groups in the Regional Office.
PROCEDURE
The SAROAD Control Log (Figure 6.2.2-a) is completed as follows.
Each paragraph represents a specific step in Regional Office SAROAD
activities.

PURPOSE
The SAROAD Site File Log (Figure 6.2.3-a) can provide a running
inventory, by state, of changes and additions to the SAROAD Site File
requested by state and local agencies and of progress toward successful
entry on the site file. Use by Regional Office personnel will create a
positive record of all Site File actions and help with any problems due
to changes in SAROAD Site I.D. Steps in Site File updating at which
entries should be made are noted below.
Initial Receipt: The first three columns (DATE, SITE ADDRESS and
NEW OR REVISED) should be entered with the date, the address of each
site (or reference to an attached list) and "N" or "R" for new sites or
revisions to existing sites. If the SAROAD Site I.D. already exists or
has been assigned by the submitting agency, that column should be
filled out at this point.
Assign SAROAD Site I.D.: The I.D. assigned to each submitted site
should be entered here upon determination.
Submission to NADB: Date of mailing should be entered under CARDS
TO NADB.
Obtain NADB Control I .P.: When assigned by NADB personnel upon
receipt, of a Site File submission, the NADB Control I.D. should be

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
PURPOSE AND USE
The NEDS State Transmittal Form (Figure 6.3.1-a) is intended as a
convenient means of obtaining basic information on each NEDS submittal
from a state or local agency. This information will allow Regional Office
personnel to be better informed on the contents and implications of NEDS
submissions and to maintain better control over their Region's NEDS file.
Instructions on filling out the Form, geared to personnel in sub-
mitting agencies, are included below. Copies of the Form and instructions
should be distributed to all submitting agencies and use with all NEDS
submissions encouraged. If not included with a NEDS submission, Regional
Office personnel may fill out the Form themselves. This may require
telephone contact with the submitting agency, and it should prove more
efficient for both parties if the submitting agency generates the Form
to begin with.
A copy of the NEDS State Transmittal Form should be forwarded to
NADB to accompany each NEDS submission. This will be helpful in NADB
review of the submission and allow it to be entered into NEDS in a more
timely fashion. The NADB Control I.D. should be filled in by R.O.
personnel if assigned over the telephone by NADB.
FILLING OUT THE NEDS STATE TRANSMITTAL FORM (For State Agency Personnel)
One NEDS State Transmittal Form should be filled out for each NEDS
data submission sent to the EPA Regional Office, and a copy kept for your
records. Use of this form will aid the Regional Office and the National
Air Data Branch (NADB) in their processing steps, and eliminate the need

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Magnetic tapes that are submitted to NADB containing AEROS data must
be accompanied by information on the data and magnetic tape. The informa-
tion should be entered on the Magnetic Tape File Transmittal Form (MTFTF)
(Figure 6.3.3-a) and mailed to the Data Processing Section, NADB, either
with the tape or with notification that the tape is currently at NCC.
The information for any tape created using the terminal edit procedure
may be telephoned in to the Data Processing Section, but a MTFTF should
also be submitted. For tapes originating with state or local agencies,
submittal of the completed MTFTF by the originating agency with the
NEDS or SAROAD State Transmittal Form is the preferred procedure. It
can then be used as a reference by Regional Office personnel. A new
MTFTF will be required for tapes created at NCC, but may include much
of the information from a state-submitted MTFTF.
The MTFTF will be completed in accordance with the following
instructions. The explanations refer to the sample form in Figure 6.3.3-a.
- ORIGINATOR. The name of the local, state, or Regional Office sub-
mitting the data.
- R.O. CONTROL. The unique R.O. control identification code, if
one is used: e.g., the R.O. I.D. as described in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2.
- FILE #. The file number for this tape where the data can be
found. Each unique file number (data set) must be recorded on a
separate MTFTF.

A NEDS Receipt of Data Letter (Figure 6.4.1-a) or some similar
communication is recommended as a means of formally acknowledging
receipt of a required NEDS data submission by the Regional Office. As
formal communications, these letters should be addressed to the Director
of the submitting agency and signed by a R.O. Division Director. Such
letters could be one component of a Regional Office system for tracking
NEDS and SAROAD report submissions, with similar letters being sent as
notification of missed reporting deadlines. Technical details (pro-

While the scale and complexity of NEDS error resolution efforts
will vary between Regional Offices, the following material is presented
for use by Regional Office personnel in developing error resolution
procedures and documentation suited to their needs.
PROCEDURE
Errors in NEDS data submissions which are uncovered in Regional
Office processing steps should be documented and tracked through their
resolution wherever possible. A well-organized error resolution process
will result in more timely and effective correction and elimination of
errors.
As they are encountered, errors should be analyzed and grouped
according to type, cause and party responsible for resolution. Sets of
errors thus grouped can be recorded on a form such as the NEDS Error
Sheet (Figure 6.5.1-a). This sheet is used as basic documentation of a
number of errors assigned to a specific party or group for resolution.
Used in conjunction with the NEDS recordkeeping procedures and forms in
7.2.1, the Error Sheet can be used to account for errors from discovery
to correction and reprocessing or other resolution. A copy may also be
used, in place of a lengthy letter or memo, to forward errors to the
parties responsible for their resolution.

USING THE ERROR SHEET (Figure 6.5.1-a)
Ini tiation
Once a set of errors from a NEDS submission has been defined and the
Regional Office, state or local agency group responsible for resolution
identified, the entire NEDS Error Sheet, except for the last two columns,
should be filled out as follows. The R.O. I.D. of the original submission
containing the errors should be entered in the upper right corner. The
state, year for which data was submitted and any further description of ,
the data involved are entered on the first line. The processing step
from which the errors originated should be checked and described as
necessary (enter NCC reel number if Edit Program Error Tape may be used).
The group to whom responsibility for error resolution has been assigned
is checked and a contact person in that group noted, as is the date on
which the errors were forwarded for resolution.
The total number of cards involved in the errors forwarded is deter-
mined and recorded: this should correspond to one of the card counts in
the Error Resolution section of the NEDS Batch Sheet for the original
submission (Superscript 6 or 7). A summary of the types of errors
involved should be included. Appropriate boxes should be checked to
identify the type of submission and/or processing expected in resolving
the errors.
Individual or groups of errors should be described in the first
column of the table at the bottom of the Error Sheet. The Edit Record #
(for individual errors) or a count of the number of errors of a given
description should be entered in the second column.

Filled out. as described above, the NEDS Error Sheet should provide
solid basic documentation for resolution of a group of errors. Copies
of listings from processing steps may be a useful addition to the Error
Sheet information.
The third column of the table on the Error Sheet should be used
after error resolution has been completed by the responsible party» to
record the number of errors resolved, method of resolution, and other
details. The party responsible for error resolution should be encouraged
to fill out this information. An attempt should be made to account for
all errors initially entered, and to distinguish between data items or
records which are changed or dropped to resolve errors.
Reprocessing
The final column of the Error Sheet table is used to enter the date
on which the corrected errors reentered normal Regional Office NEDS
processing. If all resolved errors are available at the same time, they
can be assigned a single new Regional Office I.D., which should be
entered in the upper right corner of the Error Sheet. Otherwise, new
R.O. I.D.s can be recorded with the date of reprocessing, opposite the
error descriptions which apply.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The NEDS Terminal Edit {Procedure NE000A) allows the Regional
Offices to obtain an inventory of data received from State or local
agencies. It also allows the Regional Offices to edit the incoming
transactions and identify records which do not meet basic acceptance
criteria for updating to NEDS files or that may contain anomalous data
values. The Regional Offices have the option of correcting any identified
errors themselves, returning the data to the submitting agency for cor-
rection, or if there are no or only an insignificant number of edit errors,
notifying NADB that the data are ready for update.
The Terminal Edit procedure first involves processing of tapes
and/or cards received to create a standard-labelled ASCII Cobol tape
to be used as input for the pre-edit and edit processing steps. These
procedures are described in the operating instructions for procedure
NE000A.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
NEDS Pre-Edit
The NEDS Pre-Edit program (NE026) enables the EPA Regional Offices
to determine the quantity and identity of NEDS data submitted for
processing. NE026 requires one minute to process approximately 1500
NEDS card-image records.
NE026 reads NEDS card-image (80-character). records from a standard-
labeled magnetic tape file blocked 5fJ records. As each record 1s read,
it is reformatted to facilitate sorting and then released to an internal
COBOL sort. The sort places the records in area source, point source,
and unverified point source groups respectively. The area source group
is further sorted on State, county, AQCR, and year-of-record. Additional
sorts on point source and unverified point source records are: State,
county, AQCR, plant, and year-of-record.
Up to three inventory reports will be produced by NE026 depending
on the number of data types (area, point, unverified point) present on
the input tape. Each report line shows the number of add, change, and
delete transactions submitted for a particular group of sort keys and
card types (1-7). Page breaks are taken when a different Sifate is
encountered.
If the input tape contains records which can't be classified for
the inventory reports because of invalid card type, action code, or
data type, they will not be included in the report. They will, however,
be listed with an appropriate error message prior to any report data.
The user has the option, through the use of a control card, of printing
all input records in input format. This option is recommended if the
user wishes to have a listing of all input records received from the
State agency that submitted the data.

NE026 does not create or modify any catalogued mass-storage files
nor does it require any previously created files other than the input
tape file. It is written in ASCII COBOL for use on the UNIVAC 1110
computer system at Research Triangle Park, N.C.
Figure 7.1.1-a is an example of a NEDS pre-edit input listing.
For records where an error is detected an error message is printed.
Possible error messages produced by NE026 are:
1. NO PRINT CONTROL CARD PRESENT --NE026 TERMINATED.
Explanation: Self explanatory
2. NO YEAR AVAILABLE FOR THIS CARD-IMAGE
Explanation: Notational comment-the record is included
in the report data with a blank year.
3. The following three error messages indicate the card-
image cannot be classified for reporting and are
therefore not included in the reports:
(a) ONLY A, C, OR D ALLOWED IN COL. 78
(b) ONLY A,P, OR V ALLOWED IN COL. 79
(c) ONLY 1 THROUGH 7 ALLOWED IN COL. 80
The records for which these errors are indicated should
be corrected before processing through the NEDS EDITOR
program, NE061.
Figure 7.1.1-b shows the EPA Regional Office Summary of NEDS Data
Received which is generated by NE026. A report in this format is
generated for each data type (area, point, unverified point) present

in the input data. Totals for each data type for each State and for the
entire set of records in a given data set are also included. These
reports can be used to verify that all cards which should be in a data
set are in fact present.
Figure 7.1.1-c shows a summary tabulation of the number of NEDS
input records read, and a count of NEDS area source, point source, veri-
fication and error records found. The total number of records read should
agree with the number of records on tapes and/or cards used to create the
standard tape used as input to NE026.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
NEDS EDITOR
NEDS data submitted to EPA Regional Offices are processed through
the NEDS EDITOR program (NE061) to determine if the data meet minimum
requirements for updating of NEDS files. Records with data failing
to meet the minimum requirements are rejected and the data are not
updated to NEDS files.
NE061 was developed to perform edits on all required fields of
NEDS Area Source, Point Source, and Unverified Point Source data submitted
for update to the NEDS data base. It allows the EPA Regional Offices to
identify and correct any data errors which might inhibit updating prior
to submitting the data for update.
Input to NE061 is a tape file of card-image NEDS transactions
submitted by the States for update to the National Emission Data Bank
(NEDB). As each NEDS card image is read, sort keys are appended to it
and it is released to an internal COBOL sort. The primary sort sequence
is type transaction (e.g. area source, point source or unverified point
source). Within each type, the transactions are sorted so that records
pertaining to a particular area, point, or unverified point are sequenced
continuously.
As each record is returned from the sort, the fields are edited
for content and/or format. The contents of some fields such as.Source
Classification Code and County) are validated by accessing other NEDS files.
If a record passes all edits, it is written to a tape file of card images
which will be input to the NEDS Post-Edit and update processes.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Also for each unique Plant, Point, or SCC identified in the error free
data, a standard NEDS selection card image may be generated by NE061.
These card images may be used for selection of a Point Source Listing or
other NEDS report when NADB update is complete.
Input records which are found to contain edit errors, are flagged
according to the type of error (warning or rejection), -and are then
written on a temporary mass-storage error file. After all records are
edited, the temporary file is closed and reopened as input to the error
reporting phase of NE061. In the error reporting phase, each record is
read from the temporary file and the error type flag is analyzed. De-
pending on the type of error, each record is written to either the
Warning Error Report or the Rejection Error Report along with the ap-
propriate error message. Each time a new state code is encountered while
writing either report, the new state record is printed at the top of a new
page..
NE061 also produces a tape file of NEDS card images which contain
edit errors. The file is written in format which allows it, after
correction of edit errors, to be used as input to another run of NE061.
This allows users who wish to correct errors by using UNIVAC standard
edit processors to submit the corrected tape to NADB for update.
NE061 is designed for the use of remote batch terminal users (EPA
Regional Offices) of the UNIVAC 1110 located at EPA's Research Triangle
Park, N.C., computer center. Approximately 2 minutes of CPU time is
required by NE061 to process 1000 NEDS card images.

EDIT DIAGNOSTICS REPORT
NE061 produces the "Reject Edit Diagnostics for NEDS Input"
and "Warning Edit Diagnostics for NEDS Input" reports which show the
following:
1. Input sequences number of each NEDS card-image containing
edit errors.
2. The card image enclosed in parentheses.
3. Descriptive error messages describing the edit errors
encountered in the card images.
4. An input record count.
5. A count of error records.
6. Counts of Area Source, Point Source, and Unverified Point
Source records passing all edits.
Figures 7.1.1-d and 7.1.1-e show examples of the edit
diagnostics reports.
NEDS EDITOR ERROR MESSAGES
There are 17 possible edit rejection messages and 51 warning
messages which may be generated by NE061 pertaining to area, point,
or unverified point source records. Edit rejection messages indicate
definite errors which must be corrected before data can be updated.
Warning messages indicate probable data field errors that should be
investigated, but do not necessarily require correction. Records for
which only warning messages are printed are not written to the NEDS

NEDS EDIT SUMMARY
At the completion of an NE061 run a summary is presented which gives
the total number of input records read, the number of records rejected,
the number of transactions passing edit, and the number of select cards
written. Figure 7.1.1-e is an example of this output. This summary
should be used first to verify that the number of records output from
the pre-edit process match the number input to the edit. Next the number
of input records rejected should be noted and the edit diagnostics report
examined to identify specific errors. Finally, it should be verified
that the total number of the transactions written to post-edit, plus any
rejected records, equals the number of records input.
6478 NEDS Input Records Read

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The Regional Office Data Processing steps include all processing
from the time the data are received from the State Agency until the data
are forwarded to NADB for updating. These individual steps are shown
in Figures 7.1.2-a and b and include: (1) Receipt of data, (2) Creation
of a UNIVAC compatible tape, (3) SAROAD Pre-Edit, (4) SAROAD Edit,
(5) Merge, and (6) Error Resolution.
Receipt of Data
The Receipt of Data Step includes the maintenance of the SAROAD
Control Log as discussed in Section 6.2.2 as well as any screening
procedures which are utilized by Regional Offices to evaluate data.
This step may also include a notification of the State that the data
have been received.
Tape Creation
The creation of a UNIVAC compatible tape involves several different
alternatives based on the format in which the data are received. If
the data are on keypunched cards, the card-to-tape program (AE004) is
utilized to create a tape which can be input to the Pre-Edit and Edit
programs. If the data are received on magnetic tape, the tape may be
mailed to the U1110, or the data may be read from the tape at the R.O.
and transmitted directly to the U1110. If the magnetic tape is mailed
to the U1110, a program (AE001, NA046, or NA047) must be utilized to
convert the tape for input to the Pre-Edit and Edit programs. Program
AE001 will convert one or more EBCDIC or BCD tapes, NA046 will convert
a UNIVAC field data tape, and NA047 will convert a BCD tape. The pro-
grams, AE001, AE004, NA046, and NA047, create a labeled ASCII COBOL tape
with 80 characters per record and 4000 characters per block.

The SAROAD Pre-Edit program (NA026) enables the EPA Regional
Offices to determine the quantity and identity of SAROAD data submitted
for processing. NA026 requires 1.5 seconds to process approximately
1000 SAROAD values.
NA026 reads SAROAD card-image (80 character) records from a
standard-labeled magnetic tape file blocked 4000 characters.. When
all records are read, the program prints the number of tape records
which have been read. If the first character of an input record does
not contain one of the digits 1 through 3 (for form type 1 through 3),
the record is rejected, and an error message is printed. All valid
input records are sorted according to ascending site/pollutant/method/
interval/year/month/units code. The sorted records are examined and
each unique combination of sort keys are printed along with a tally
of the number of observations for that combination. Subtotal lines
are printed for each state, and a grand total fcr the data set.
NA026 does not create or modify any cataloged mass storage files,
nor does it require any previously created files except for the magnetic
tape input data. It is written in ASCII COBOL for use on the UNIVAC
1110 computer system at Research Triangle Park.
Figure 7.1.2-c is an example of the record count and error messages
produced. The format for the error message is:

Figure 7.1.2-d shows the EPA Regional Office Summary of SAROAD
Data Received which is generated by NA026. The total number of values
for each state and for the entire set of records in a given data set
are also included. These reports can be used to verify that all cards
which should be in a data set are in fact present.
Edit
SAROAD data submitted to EPA Regional Offices are processed through
the EDITOR program (NA067) to determine if the data meet minimum require-
ments for updating of SAROAD files. Records with data failing to meet
the minimum requirements are rejected, and the data are not updated to
SAROAD files.
NA067 was developed to edit and create update transactions to the
SAROAD data base for data submitted on forms 1 through 3. NA067 is
r
actually a control program that calls several subprograms to perform
the following functions: (1) Edit, (2) Summarization, (3) Raw data
listings, and (4) Data screening.
Input to NA067 is the tape file that was produced in the Tape
Creation Step and that contains the data as received on forms 1 through
3 from State or local agencies. In addition to tape input, the user
must input a program control card to indicate which of the above
functions will be performed and control cards as required by each
function.

The control program reads the input data from tape and creates
sorted mass storage files for input to the other subprograms. To
create sorted files, the cards require reformatting so a form 2 will
only contain one pollutant per form and a form 3 will be converted to
a form 2 with one pollutant per form. The audit trail for the control
program is given in Figure 7.1.2-e and includes the number of card
images read, number of invalid form types, number of valid form types,
and number of images written to the sorted mass storage file.
The edit subprogram reads the sorted mass storage file and
requires a master control card as card input to specify the update
action code as well as other options specific only to the edit. The
correct action code must be assigned to ensure that the data are not
rejected by the update program. The action codes are: (1) change -
to modify an existing value on the data bank, (2) add - to input data
values which have not been submitted to the data bank, and (3) delete -
to remove an existing value from the data bank.
The edit subprogram reads each image from the mass storage file,
assigns a record number to it, and checks each individual data field
for content as well as checking several fields together for consistency.
The specific edit checks are given in Table 7.1.2-a.
The edit subprogram produces a transaction tape, an error tape,
and printed output. The transaction tape contains a record with an
update action code for each raw data value and will be utilized as
input for merges by the R.O. or NADB. The error tape contains the

Format
(1) Form Number
Valid form numbers are 1 through 3.
(2) State Code
This two digit field must correspond to the proper SAROAD State
code. Presently, the USA codings are 01 through 55 representing
the States and territories arranged alphabetically.
(3) Area Code
This four digit code must correspond to the proper SAROAD area
code within that specific State (or country). Within each State,
the names of all incorporated areas with a population of more
than 2500, and all counties, are arranged alphabetically and
assigned a four-digit number. County codes are used only for
stations located outside incorporated areas.
(4) Site Code
Specified sampling sites are designated by a three-digit number
on forms #1-3. This code is unique for a sampling site address
within State and area. Again, only numerics 1-9 are valid in
this code. The SAROAD site must have been submitted and updated
to the site file before the data can enter the bank. Otherwise
the data will be rejected.

This alphabetic character represents the type of agency performing
the laboratory analysis. Valid characters are A-Z.
(6) Project Code
The project codes classify projects by the reasons for generating
the data. Only numerics 1-9 are valid in the project, code (01-99) .
(7) Time Code
A single alphanumeric character code is used for the time interval
during which the data are observed or monitored.
Note that this code depends on the air monitoring instrumentation, i.e.,
a high vol sampler runs for a 24 hour period, therefore, generating a 24
hour suspended particulate value. A method which monitors on an hourly
basis should produce up to 24 values per day and will not be represented
on NADB by one 24 hour arithmetic average. On less than 24 hour sampling
forms the only valid codes are 1.(1 hr.), 2 (2 hr.), B (3 hr.), 3 (4 hr.),
4 (6 hr.), 5 (8 hr.), and 6 (12 hr.).
On 24 hr. or greater forms the only valid interval codes are 7 (24 hr.),
8 (1 mo.), 9 (3 mo.), A (1 week), C (composite data), and D (yearly).

(8) Parameter Code
This five digit numerical SAROAD code permits a branching subcate-
gorization of pollutants.
(9) Method Code
This identifies the instrument type and/or the analytical method
with two numeric characters. It is unique to a particular parameter.
Generality the continuous (or less than 24 hr. sampling, interval.)
methods will be less than. 50 and the 24 hr. or greater methods
will be greater than 50.
(10) Unit Code
This two-digit code represents the units in which the values are
given.
Note: In checking the parameter, method, time code, and unit codes, the
program will reject all values associated with an invalid combination.
Parameter method 4240191 is invalid for creating add transactions, but
change or delete transactions will be created.
(11) Decimal Code
This single-digit numeric code from 0 to 4 (and occasionally 5)
indicates the number of digits in the data field that are to fall
to the right of the decimal point. Generally data will be con-
veniently scaled by the chemist with the proper units code to
make the value require a decimal point between 0 to 4.

(12) Value or Data Field
The value must have four digits and must be keypunched right-
justified with leading left zeroes or blanks.
A field filled with '9999' will be treated as a blank. The meteorological
parameters 62101, 62102, 62103, 62104, 62105, 62106, may be reported
with negative values with a left-justified negative sign and zero filled.
For form 1, if a data value is rejected, all data values for that card are
rejected while on all other forms only the individual data value which
fails edit is.rejected.
(13) Year.
The last two digits of the year in which observations were taken.
Years 57-present are valid and any other year will be rejected.
(14) Month
This two digit numerical code designates 01 (January) through 12
(December).
(15) Da^
The calendar day of the month in which samples or observations
were taken (01 through 31). The program will check for only 30
days -in'April, June, September, and November, and 28 or less days
in February excepting Leap Year.

forms 1 and 2 that failed the edit and requires corrections. The
printed output includes the error listing and the audit trail. An
error listing is given in Figure 7.1.2-f and includes the card image
with the erroneous fields marked and a list of errors. Additional
error messages are given in Table 7.1.2-b. The audit trail is given'
in Figure 7.1.2-g and should be utilized with recordkeeping procedures
described in Section 7.2.2.
The edit subprogram is the only subprogram that must be executed
to create data to update SAROAD. The other subprograms should be
executed to validate the data before submission for updating.
The summarization subprogram reads the sorted mass storage file
and produces printed summaries of the raw data which are called
"Transaction Proof Lists". The summaries are produced on a site,
pollutant, year basis and are designed to display information related
to the air quality standards for criteria pollutants. The Transaction
Proof List contains a unique format for each criteria pollutant and a
common format for all noncriteria pollutants. Figure 7.1.2-h is an
example of Transaction Proof List for sulfur dioxide and Figure 7.1.2-i
is an example for noncriteria pollutants.
The raw data listing subprogram produces a raw data listing for
all data on the tape. This raw data listing provides output for data
analysis but has the potential to produce a large volume of output.
Figure 7.1.2-j is an example of the raw data list.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The data screening subprogram provides the capability to automati-
cally review the raw data for data anomalies. The data screening
procedures are described in detail in "Screening Procedures for Ambient
Air Quality Data", EPA,- 450/2-78-037, July, 1978. This subprogram
must be executed on each data set to insure that the data are valid
or that suspicious data have been identified. Suspicious data should
be removed from the sorted transaction tape before submission. The
state agency should be notified and efforts made to correct and resubmit
the data.
The data screening subprogram utilizes the Gap Test and the Pattern
Test to screen hourly data for criteria pollutants. For the gap test,
a months data is evaluated for gaps in concentrations as well as checking
the number of hourly values that exceed a user supplied upper limit.
This upper limit prevents an entire month or portion of a month from
being too high due to incorrect scaling. The pattern test evaluates
one day of data'at a time and performs the following checks: (1) hourly
values exceeding an empirically derived upper limit, (2) difference in
adjacent values exceeding an empirically derived upper limit difference,
(3) a value in a day being much different than other values in the day
using a modification of the Dixon Ratio test, (4) differences and
percent differences between the middle value and its adjacent values in
a 3-hour interval exceeding certain prederived limits, and (5) consecu-
tive values of four or more hours exceeding some prederived concentration.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Figure 7.1.2-k represents an example output from the gap test. A
summary line is produced for each site-pollutant-month that is flagged.
The data values printed in the summary line are in ppm for carbon
monoxide and pphm for other pollutants. The audit trail as given in
Figure 7.1.2-1 indicates the data which were processed. To determine
the problem as identified by the gap test a raw data listing is helpful.
Figure 7.1.2-m is an example of output from the pattern test. This
output represents a listing of the data for the days that failed the
test and the reason that the data failed. The data values printed in
3 3
this.report are in mg/m for carbon monoxide and ug/m for all other
pollutants.
If the data which are identified by the data screening tests are
not deleted from the transaction file, a copy of the gap and patterns
test should be submitted to NADB to identify possible anamolous data.
Merge
The Merge step utilizes UNIVAC system utilities to combine several
transaction tapes to create a single data set. This single data set
is provided to NADB for updating. Figure 7.1.2-n is an example of
output from the merge.
Error Resolution
The Error Resolution Step includes the correction of data which was
rejected or flagged by the Edit Step, or the correction of data which
was rejected in the update. The errors routinely fall into the

following categories: (1) Invalid key which was identified by editor,
(2) Valid key but site or pollutant not correctly registered on the
site or parameter file, (3) Valid key but incorrect data values, or
(4) Invalid update action code.
The Match/Change/Delete Program (NA068) enables the Regional Offices^
to correct three of the four errors which have been identified above.
The second error can be corrected by updating the appropriate file. The
program can be utilized to correct errors on the sorted transaction
tape as created by NA067 or to correct errors on the error card image
file created by NA067. The program will actually execute successfully
on any card image tape which has been sorted and which contains only
forms 1 and 2 with only one pollutant on form 2.
For the sorted transaction tape, NA068 has the following options:
1. Delete selected records with the deleted records being option-
ally written to a mass storage file.
2. Change all actions codes to a single action code.
3. List selected data or all of the transaction file.
Only one of the above options may be performed with each execution of
NA068.
For the error card image tape, NA068 has the following options:

1. Delete selected records or individual values with data values
being optionally written to a mass storage file.
2. Change the key of selected records or change individual data
values. All records may be written to the corrected card tape,
or only those records that were changed may be written.
3. List selected data or all of the transaction file.
Options 1 and 2 can be executed together as long as two actions are
not performed on the same record. When option 3 is executed, no other
options are permitted.
The execution of NA068 creates either a corrected sorted transaction
file for input to merges or creates a corrected card image tape for input
to NA067.
Although the correction of errors is important, the correct sorted
transaction tape must not be held while errors are being resolved.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
To assist Regional Office personnel in carrying out the NEDS data
processing steps described in Section 7.1.1, a NEDS Batch Sheet
(Figure 7.2.1-a) has been developed. The Batch Sheet is designed as a
basic recordkeeping form for the R.O. processing of individual groups of
NEDS data. Entries are provided for all processing steps and completion
of each processing step is denoted by entry of the date of completion.
Spaces are provided for entry of all pertinent magnetic tape identifiers,
names, record/value/card counts, costs and other items. R.O. Audit Keys
(superscripts) are used to indicate specific record, value or card counts
which should be checked to assure successful processing.
The Batch Sheet covers strictly the data-processing aspects of
Regional Office NEDS activities. Several other forms are available to
expedite.other aspects. The NEDS Control Log (6.2.1) provides an over-
view of submissions and interaction with state agencies. The NEDS State
Transmittal Form (6.3.1) facilitates communication of information from
submitting agencies. The NEDS Error Sheet (6.5.1) allows tracking of
the error resolution process. These forms all interact with or complement
the Batch Sheet, and they are most profitably used together.
AUDIT KEYS
The Regional Office Audit Keys are one of the most important features
of the Batch Sheet. Through careful notation of the numbers of cards,
records or values involved in various processing steps, it is possible to
eliminate a number of serious possible errors and to be sure that all
submitted data survived processing.

Throughout the Batch Sheet, counts which should match are noted by
identical superscripts. Each superscripted count should be checked

sought if the counts are not equal. In a few cases, counts must be
added or an inequality should exist, as indicated on the Batch Sheet.
Specific R.O. Audit Key checks are included in the instructions below.
USING THE NEDS BATCH SHEET
The Batch Sheet is intended as a cover sheet for all information on
a given NEDS submission while it is in active R.O. processing. Any forms
such as State Transmittal Forms or Magnetic Tape File Transmittal Forms
and all relevant computer listings should be attached and carried until
processing is complete.
Initial Receipt of Submission
Upon receipt of a NEDS data submission, the header of the Batch
Sheet should be filled out. The Regional Office I.D. number (see 6.2.1
for recommended form) is used as the unique identification of a batch to
be processed. Date received, a short description of data involved and
other details should be filled out or checked as appropriate.
Form/Tape Processing
If NEDS coding forms are received, enter dates on which form check-
ing and keypunching are completed. Enter count of cards punched and

R.O. Data Processing Steps
Enter the date and all other details (NCC reel numbers, record/
value/card counts and costs) as each step of the Regional Office data
processing is completed. Audit checks which should be performed are as
follows:
Superscript 1: After card-to-tape or tape-to-tape program, check
record count against card count from keypunching and card count from
State Transmittal Form.
Superscript 2: After pre-edit, check pre-edit records in Figure
7.1.1-c against record count from card-to-tape or tape-to-tape program.
Superscripts 3 and 4: After editor, check records in against
records in from pre-edit. Also check records out against records out
from pre-edit (records out of editor should be equal to pre-edit values
when no cards were rejected, and records out should be less than records

R.O. processing, and the file name recorded for reference in verifying
update progress. If available, the NADB Control I.D. assigned should
also be noted in the space provided below.
NADB Processing/Update
Upon receipt of the post-edit listing from NADB, the date and the
post-edit total values count should be noted. The total values count
is checked against records out of the editor. NADB Control I.D. should
also be recorded if not available previously.
The NADB Update Number containing the data should be determined via
the AERO-MESSAGE file and recorded. The date of successful completion
of that update should be recorded when verified via the AERO-MESSAGE or
NADB Code-a-Phone.

Concatenation
Several changes and additions must be made to the above procedures
to adapt them to NEDS processing in which more than one submission from
one state are concatenated onto one tape after the editor, prior to
submission to NADB. It is recommended that such cases be handled
parallel to the SAROAQ Merge/Update Sheet procedures described in 7.2.2.

AEFlOS USER'S MANUAL
To assist Regional Office personnel in carrying out the SAROAD data
processing steps described in Section 7.].2, the SAROAD Batch Sheet and
Merge/Update Sheet (Figures 7.2.2-a and 7.2.2-b) have been developed.
These sheets are designed as basic recordkeeping forms for the R.O.
processing of individual groups of SAROAD data. Entries are provided
for all processing steps and completion of each processing step is
denoted by entry of the date of completion. Spaces are provided for
entry of all pertinent magnetic tape identifiers, names, record/value/
card counts, costs and other items. R.O. Audit Keys (superscripts) are
used to indicate specific record, value or card counts which should be
checked to assure successful processing.
The Batch and Merge/Update Sheets cover strictly the data processing
aspects of Regional Office SAROAD activities. Specifically, the Batch
Sheet includes all steps through the editor, and the Merge/Update Sheet
documents merging, submission and NADB updating for several SAROAD sub-
missions. Several other forms are available to expedite other aspects.
The SAROAD Control Log (6.2.2) provides an overview of submissions and
interaction with state agencies. The SAROAD State Transmittal Form
(6.3.2) facilitates communication of information from submitting agencies.
The SAROAD Error Sheet (6.5.2) allows tracking of the error resolution
process. These forms all interact with or complement the Batch and
Merge/Update Sheets, and they are most profitably used together.
AUDIT KEYS
The Regional Office Audit Keys are one of the most important
features of the Batch and Merge/Update Sheets. Through careful notation

USING THE MERGE/UPDATE SHEET
The Merge/Update Sheet allows recordkeeping for processing and
follow-up steps from the merge of several data sets to verification of
NADB updating of the merged group of data. If an agency submission is
submitted to NADB without merging with other submissions, the items to
be recorded for the steps from "Notify NADB" to "NADB Update" may be
transferred to the Batch Sheet, or a Merge/Update Sheet attached to the
Batch Sheet and the irrelevant details under "Merge Program" omitted.
Each merged group of data should be given a unique identifier: a
two-digit identifier in the form "Merge__" is recommended, to be
assigned sequentially. This or some other identifier should be entered
in the upper right corner of the Merge/Update Sheet and on the Batch
Sheet for all data included in the merge.
This section provides for recording of a number of pertinent items
about the individual batches going into a merged submission to NADB.
The Regional Office I.D., NCC reel number, and number of records from
each batch going into the merge should be noted. These record counts
are not generated by the merge, but are rather the record counts from
the edit program for each batch, and should be identical to counts
with Superscript 7 on the respective Batch Sheets. The individual
edit record counts should be totalled manually under "Total Records
In."

RECEIPT OF DATA
A]1 emissions data received by the NADB from Regional Offices or
any special studies will be logged in before processing begins. Before
the data can be logged in and processing begun, a cover letter must be
received with the following minimum information given:
1. Name of agency submitting data.
2. Date of submission.
3. Approximate number of cards or records included.
4. Type of data (whether semiannual report data or supplemental
data) and the period covered.
5. If a magnetic tape contains the data, a magnetic tape file
transmittal form must be included for each file.
As the data are logged in, a control ID, which will be used for all
future references, is assigned. This control ID is assigned by using
NED as first three characters, the,state or region abbreviation as the
next two characters, and the Julian date as the next three characters.
If several data sets or tape files are received on a given day, the
files are uniquely identified by letters of the alphabet.
PRE-UPDATE DATA PROCESSING AND DATA SCREENING
Upon receipt of each data set, NADB runs the POST-EDIT INVENTORY OF
DATA RECEIVED report. This report is similar to the PRE-EDIT report.
It is used to verify that the data received from the Regional Office
corresponds to the set of data which the Regional Office indicates was
being submitted. The POST-EDIT program separates incoming point and area

source data into separate output files for update processing. Any
discrepancies are brought to the attention of the Regional Office. If
no problems are indicated by the POST-EDIT report, NADB proceeds with
the UPDATE of information received from the Regional Office.
The next step in the update process normally involves the prelimi-
nary screening of the data to insure that updating the new data will not
severely damage the quality of data currently on the NEDS files. The
data screening process usually involves:
1. Comparison of POST-EDIT output reports with existing NEDS plant
name and plant emissions reports to verify that no facilities
emitting over 100 tons per year will be improperly deleted.
2. A "trial update" of the new data to verify that there has
been no improper assignment of plant ID numbers, no improper
reduction in the point count at major emitting facilities,
and no other major errors that will result in improper calcula-
tion of emissions.
If any major problems are identified in the data screening process, they
will be brought to the attention of the Regional Office. The data will
be held out of the update process until the problems are resolved. If
no problems are identified or only minor problems that can be easily
corrected by NADB are found, the update process will continue.

Control ID's which pass the data screening procedure are then
prepared for update. Area source transactions are processed by the NEDS
area source update program, NE077A. Point source transactions are pro-
cessed by the NEDS point sourfce update program NE075A. Prior to input
to NE075A point source control ID's are first concatenated into a single
file. This file is then merged with rejected transactions saved from
the last point source update and the merged file is sorted in ascending
key (State/County/Plant/Point/SCC) order. The sorted file of all point
source transactions is then ready for update.
POINT SOURCE UPDATE
NE075A is the update program to apply Point Source update trans-
actions to the NEDS Point Source User File. The program reads the
edited and sorted point source transaction file (NEDS-PTRANS) builds
transaction sets and applies them to the NEDS Point Source User File
(NADB*NEDS-USER) creating an updated NEDS Point Source User File
(NADB*NEDS-USER-T) on tape.
During the updating process, NE075A accesses the NADB*NEDS-EM-FACT,
NADB*AERO-CTYCNTY, NADB*NEDS.-SICNMS, and NADB*NEDS-SICIPP files for
reference and data validation purposes. The Point Source calculation
subprogram (NEA75A) is called by NE075A to perform any necessary (re)
calculation of emissions contained in the Point Source User File. The
transactions are applied to the User file if valid, and are rejected if
invalid. Invalid add transactions are saved and written to the output
reject hold file (NEDS-RTRAN) to be applied in the next update cycle.
Invalid non-add transactions are merely written on the output report.

updating has been completed.
These reports are: POINT SOURCE UPDATE STATISTICAL REPORT
POINT SOURCE UPDATE VALIDATION REPORT
POINT SOURCE UPDATE REJECTION REPORT
POINT SOURCE UPDATE SUMMARY REPORT
Figure 7.3.1-a illustrates the overall flow of this process.
Following the execution of NE075A, the NEDS-USER-T file is copied from
tape to disk to create a new NEDS-USER file for access by NEDS report
programs.
The following sections discuss the reports output by the NEDS point
source update process.
EMISSIONS CALCULATION VALIDATION REPORT
The NEDS Emission Calculation Validation Report indicates where
possible errors in emission calculations may result because critical
data items are missing or there is a contradiction between the emission
estimation method code and the SCC emission factor file. The validation
messages produced only point out possible errors. No data are rejected by
the emission calculation validation process. The validation report may
be optionally examined by the agency that submitted the data to identify
any errors that are serious enough to require correction.

If the validation messages report true errors which cause emissions
to be improperly calculated, the data originator should submit appropri-
ate corrections. If no response is received it is assumed that the
submitting agency implicitly validates the data which were originally
submitted.
Figures 7.3.1-b and 7.3.1-c show sample output of the report.
Listed below for each of the 9 validation messages that may be processed
are:
a) The validation message corresponding to each message number.
b) The probable error that has caused the validation message to
be printed.
c) Probable actions that should be taken if it is desired to
submit data corrections.
It should be noted that if messages 1,4, 5, 8 or 9 are printed the
emission calculation program has taken some action to override submitted
data or use default values in performing emissions calculations. These
are the most critical validation messages in that if the action taken by
the calculation program is improper, incorrect emissions have been
calculated. The data originator should submit corrections to the
NEDS-USER file data in cases where emissions have been improperly
calculated. Messages 2, 3, 6 and 7 are only imformative messages to
indicate that some necessary data item is missing or that user-supplied
hand calculated emission estimates significantly disagree with computer
calculated emissions. If available, missing data should be submitted or
data corrections made.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The user should refer to Section 3, Chapter 1, Subject 2, if there
are questions concerning the proper use of NEDS emission estimation
method codes. Generally, emission estimation codes of 1, 2, 4 or 5
cause user-supplied hand calculated emission estimates to be used.
Estimation method code 3 causes emissions to be computer-calculated, and
estimation method codes 0, 6 and 7 cause emissions to be calculated as
zero. Users interested in reviewing the detailed algorithms used for
point source emission calculations should contact the NADB Systems
Development Section for a copy of program documentation for NEA75A, the
NEDS point source calculation subprogram.
la)l ESTIMATION METHOD.CODE 0 NOT VALID FOR NON-ZERO EMISSION FACTOR.
lb) An estimation method code of 0 has occurred in conjunction with
a non-zero emission factor for a pollutant. The emission calcula-
tions have been performed as if the estimation code were 3 instead
of 0.
lc) The estimation method and the emission factor should be checked
for correctness and necessary changes made to the proper file.
The estimation method is found in the NEDS-USER file. The emis-
sion factor is located in the NEDS-EM-FACT file. Normally,
estimation method is incorrect and should be changed to 3 or
some other emission estimation method code. Another possibility
is that SCC is incorrect and should be corrected.
2a)2 OPERATING RATE IS BLANK FOR ESTIMATION METHOD BLANK OR 3 -
CANNOT CALCULATE EMISSIONS.

2b) A blank operating rate has occurred in conjunction with an
estimation method of blank or 3. Estimation method blank and
3 indicate the emissions are to be computer calculated but the
calculations cannot be performed with a blank operating rate.
2c) The estimation method and the operating rate should be checked
for correctness and the necessary changes made to the NEDS-USER
file. Estimation method should be changed to some other code
and emission estimates coded if possible, or a value should be
entered for operating rate, if available.
3a)3 EMISSION FACTOR IS BLANK FOR ESTIMATION METHOD BLANK OR 3 -
CANNOT CALCULATE EMISSIONS
3b) A blank emission factor has occurred in conjunction with an
estimation method of blank or 3. Estimation methods blank and
3 indicate the emissions are to be computer calculated but the
calculations cannot be performed with a blank emission factor.
3c) The estimation method and the emission factor should be checked
to determine which is incorrect. Normally, the estimation
method, found in NEDS-USER, is incorrect and should be changed
to a method code other than 3 or blank, and corresponding
emission estimates entered, if necessary. Another possibility
is that SCC is incorrect. If so, the incorrect SCC should be
deleted and the correct SCC, with a non-blank emission factor
in NEDS-EM-FACT file, should be added.
4a)4 ASH CONTENT IS BLANK, DEFAULT VALUE OF 10 USED TO CALCULATE
EMISSIONS.

4b) The ash flag indicates that ash content should be used in the
calculation but the ash content is blank.
4c) The data originator should be aware that a default value of 10
has been used in the calculation in place of the ash content.
The ash content should be checked to discover if some value
other than 10 is correct and make the necessary change to the
NEDS-USER file.
5a)5 SULFUR CONTENT IS BLANK, DEFAULT VALUE USED TO CALCULATE EMISSIONS.
5b) The sulfur flag indicates that sulfur content should be used
in the calculation but the sulfur content is blank.
5c) The data originator should be aware that a default value has
been selected from a table. The selection is made on the basis
of the SCC value. The sulfur content should be checked to
discover whether some other value is available to replace the
default value, and if so make the necessary change to the NEDS-
USER file.
6a)6 ESTIMATION METHOD CODES 1, 2, 4, OR 5 ARE NOT VALID WHEN ESTIMATED
EMISSIONS IS BLANK.
6b) An estimation method code of 1, 2, 4, or 5 has occurred in con-
junction with a blank estimated emission for a pollutant.
6c) The data originator should check the estimation method and the
estimated emissions to discover which is incorrect and made the
necessary change to the NEDS-USER file.
7a)7 ESTIMATED POINT EMISSIONS DIFFER FROM CALCULATED SCC EMISSIONS

7b) The ratio of estimated point emissions to calculated SCC emissions
is either greater than 3 or less than .333.
7c) The data originator should check all elements of the calculation
(emission factor, operating rate, ash or sulfur content, and
control efficiency) and the estimated emissions to discover if
any are incorrect. If one or more fields are incorrect changes
should be made to the NEDS-USER file.
8a)8 THE SUM OF CALCULATED SCC EMISSIONS IS ZERO, ESTIMATED POINT
EMISSIONS IS NON-ZERO NON-BLANK.
8b) This message indicates that for a point with multiple SCC's and
an estimation method code of 1, 2, 4 or 5 the calculation sub-
routine reaches a point when the calculated emissions must all
be zero, yet a non-zero value is coded in the emissions estimate
field.
8c) To correct this problem, it should first be determined whether
the estimated emissions should in fact be zero. If this is
the case this change should be made. If the estimated emissions
are in fact greater than zero the operating rates for SCC's and
emission factor values in the SCC Emission Factor File must be
checked. If at least one SCC has an operating rates it must be
verified that at least one of the SCC's with an operating rate
has a non-zero emission factor. If not then an SCC is incorrect
or additional operating rates must be entered so that SCC's to
which emissions apply do have operating rates. If no SCC has an
operating rate and no data or operating rates are available, then
an SCC is incorrect, since this message is generated when all
SCC's have zero emission factors, indicating that there are no
emissions for the pollutant for the point.

9a)9 SOME ESTIMATION METHODS FOR A POINT EQUAL 6 OR 7 HOWEVER, ALL
ESTIMATION METHODS NOT 6 OR 7.
9b) An estimation method of 6 or 7 has occurred 1n conjunction with
estimation methods of blank 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 for a point. For
all pollutants, emissions have been set to zero, as if all esti-
mation method codes were 6 or 7.
9c) The data originator should check the estimation methods to
discover which are incorrect and make the necessary change to the
NEDS-USER file.
NOTE: If'program error messages 1, 3 or 8 appear for cases where emis-
sion factors in NEDS-EM-FACT do not in fact meet the conditions
specified by the error message, the problem should be reported
to the Data Processing Section, NADB.
POINT SOURCE USER FILE UPDATE REJECTION REPORT
This report shows NEDS point source records which could not be
updated because of some type of error. Figure 7.3.1-d is an example of
this report. The report prints the card image that was rejected, indi-
cates the reason for rejection, and tells whether or not the rejected
record has been saved. The records saved are written to the NEDS-RTRAN
(REJECT-HOLD) file for possible use in subsequent updates. Records will
be saved if the reason for rejection is "Incomplete Card Set for Add
Transactions." If a record with an add transaction is rejected, this
will prevent updating of associated records for the same plant or point
since a needed record will be missing having been rejected by the updated

process. It is necessary to resubmit only the record that was rejected
due to an error. This corrected record will be processed with the
.records held in the rejects file to perform a proper update.
Each of the rejected records appearing in the rejection report that
is not saved should be corrected and resubmitted for a subsequent update.
Below is given a list of the rejection messages that may appear in the
rejection report and the probable corrective action that should be taken
for each.
Update Rejection Error Messages
1. ATTEMPT TO ADD PLANT WHICH ALREADY EXISTS
An attempt was made to add a new NEDS-USER record with a key (STATE/
COUNTY/PLANT) which already exists on that file.
Action: Check the assignment of the plant ID. If incorrect, a new
plant ID must be assigned. If plant ID is correct, the
existing plant with the same ID must be deleted. Resubmit
the rejected data with an additional DPI card to delete
the existing plant. Be sure the plant being deleted is
the same as the plant to be added back in its place.
2. ATTEMPT TO ADD POINT WHICH ALREADY EXISTS
An attempt was made to add a new NEDS-USER record with a key (STATE/
COUNTY/PLANT/POINT) which already exists on that file.
Action: Check the assignment of point ID. If incorrect, assign
new point ID and resubmit. If correct, resubmit with

14. ATTEMPT TO ADD EXCESSIVE SCCS TO PLANT/POINT
A maximum of ten (10) SCC's are allowed per plant/point. An
attempt was made to add an SCC to a plant/point to exceed the
maximum allowable number of SCC's per plant/point.
Action: Check the plant/point ID to verify that all SCC's were
intended to be added to the same plant/point. Change
plant/point ID so that no more than 10 SCC's have the
same plant/point ID.
15. ATTEMPT TO ADD BLANK OR ZERO SCC RECORD
An attempt was made to add an SCC record to the NEDS-USER file
with an SCC code of all zeroes or blanks.
Action: Resubmit the card 6 with a valid SCC.
POINT SOURCE USER FILE UPDATE VALIDATION REPORT
This report, an example of which is shown in Figure 7.3.1-e, iden-
tifies possible data errors. As with the NEDS Editor warning edit
diagnostics listing, the update validation report only notes data items
that are questionable. No corrections to data are required. The report
is provided for optional use in identifying data deficiencies or incon-
sistencies. Corrections may be made to improve the quality of the data.
The update validation report prints the questionable data item(s),
the data item value, the reason for the validation message, the asso-
ciated key (State/County/AQCR/Plant/Point/SCC) and year of record.
Corrections may be made, if appropriate, by submitting change trans-
actions to change incorrect data values. The validation messages and an
explanation of each is given below.

Update Validation Messages
1. SCC/SIC/IPP COMBINATION IS INVALID
For the PLANT/POINT/SCC record indicated, the SCC/SIC/IPP codes
combination were not found on the NADB*NEDS-SICIPP file. Refer
to the NEDS SCC and Emission Factor Listing for proper SCC/SIC
combinations. Refer to AEROS Volume V, Section 3, Chapter 2 for
proper SIC/IPP combinations. In the majority of cases, this
validation message indicates an invalid SCC/SIC combination.
Because of the limited importance of the IPP code only a few
validation checks are employed for it.
2. FLOW RATE EXCEEDS MAXIMUM FOR SCC
The Flow Rate of the PLANT/POINT/SCC record indicated is greater
than the allowable maximum for the SCC.
3. FLOW RATE IS BELOW MINIMUM FOR SCC
The Flow Rate of the PLANT/POINT/SCC record indicated is below
the allowable minimum for the SCC. Messages 2 and 3 indicate
presence of a questionable stack gas flow rate based on given
SCC, stack diameter and good engineering practice design criteria
for stacks. Flow rate, stack diameter, or SCC may be in error.
For atypical sources, flow rate may be correct as shown.
4. MAX DESIGN RATE * HEAT CONTENT > BOILER DESIGN CAPACITY + 20%
The PLANT/POINT/SCC record indicated contains data that when
computed, the Maximum Design Rate field multiplied by the Heat
Content field is greater than the result of the Boiler Design
Capacity field added to the result of the Boiler Design Capacity
field multiplied by ".2". This indicates that the printed values

shown for boiler capacity and maximum design rate (printed as BOILER
CAPACITY/MAX DESIGN RATE) are inconsistent with each other. Either
boiler capacity, maximum design rate, or heat content is incorrect
and should be'corrected by submitting a change transaction for a
subsequent update.
5. OPERATING RATE IS GREATER THAN 110% OF MAXIMUM DESIGN RATE
For the PLANT/POINT/SCC record indicated, the OPERATING RATE 1s
greater than the maximum design rate (which is computed by 1.1
times the product of HOURS-PER-DAY, DAYS-PER-WEEK, and WEEKS-PER-
YEAR, or a constant of 8760 if one or more of these items are not
available, times HOURLY-MAXIMUM-DESIGN RATE. If this message is
printed, the operating rate printed is inconsistent with the hourly
design rate. Either operating rate or hourly design rate may be
incorrect and should be changed through submission of an appropri-
ate change transaction.
POINT SOURCE USER FILE UPDATE SUMMARY REPORT
This report shows a summary of all add, delete and special change
transactions performed during a point source user file update. The
report shows state/county/plant/point/SCC key fields, year of record,
the update action performed, and plant name. Figure 7.3.1-f is an
example of this report. Whenever a plant, point, or SCC record is
added or deleted this action will be noted on the report. In addition,
two special change actions will be shown. The message FACILITY OPENED
is printed if an emission estimation method code was changed from a 6
to any other valid code, indicating that a facility previously under
construction has become operational. The message FACILITY CLOSED is
printed if an emission estimation method code was changed to a 7,
indicating that a point has ceased operation.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
The principal purpose of the update summary report is for tracking
of changes to the record keys present on the NEDS-USER file. Thus,
whenever a record is added or deleted, this is identified. Simple
changes to existing NEDS-USER records are not shown, since no change in
NEDS-USER keys results from these update actions. The update summary
report is used by NADB as part of its auditing procedure for NEDS user
file updates. State and local agencies and EPA Regional Offices may
also wish to review the report to verify that intended update actions
did occur and to maintain a record of actions taken to update the NEDS
user file. The report provides a record of all keys present on the NEDS
user file and actions taken during each update.
POINT SOURCE USER FILE UPDATE STATISTICS REPORT
This report provides summary statistics for each state processed in
a NEDS-USER update and a grand total summarizing all actions performed.
Figure 7.3.1-g is a report example for the entire NEDS-USER file.
Reports in the same format are produced for each state.
This report is used by NADB as part of the audit trail for NEDS-
USER updates. The report shows the total number of input transactions
(PTRAN records which are new transactions and REJECT-HOLD records which
were saved from a previous update), and the number of transactions
successfully applied according to type of action code (add, change or
delete). Also listed are the number of transactions not applied (written
to reject-hold file and rejection errors). Those records written to the
reject-hold file are saved for processing in subsequent updates. Reject-
hold file records include a date when they were originally written to

the file. Reject-hold file records that are one year old are dropped
from the reject-hold file and a count of any records dropped is shown.
Finally, the total number of records written to the new reject-hold file
is shown.
To this point, all record counts in the update statistics report
refer to input transactions, where each transaction corresponds to one
80 column card. Finally, the report tabulates the number of. NEDS-USER
records input, deleted, and added, and gives a count of the total number
of output NEDS-USER records. There is one NEDS-USER record for each
SCC present on the NEDS-USER file.
NEDS AREA SOURCE USER FILE UPDATE
Area source records are updated to the NEDS-USER-AR file by program
NE077A. The area source update program updates both NEDS area source
user file and NEDS area source emission factor file records. Area
source emissions are calculated in the process. The program outputs
only statistical summary reports, similar to the point source user file
update statistics report, which tabulates the number of input records,
the number accepted for update, the number rejected, and the number of
new user and emission factor records output. If transactions are rejected,
the rejected transaction is printed along with the reason for rejection.
Below are listed the possible rejection messages that can occur. Rejected
transactions should be corrected and processed in a subsequent update.

"DUPLICATE ADD TRANS - REJECTING SECOND SET" CARD-IMAGE
The keys for this add transaction are not unique. This means that
there has been a duplicate card 1-5 for the preceding set of add
transactions. The update program will reject and display the
original set of add transactions as well as any set of add trans-
actions with the same key that follows the original set. The
error count is incremented for every transaction rejected and the
program continues processing.
Emission Factor Transaction Errors
1. "TRANSACTION CODE NOT 1 2 or 3" CARD-IMAGE
The transaction code of an emission factor transaction must be
1-change, 2-add, or 3-delete. This transaction is rejected and
the error count is incremented. The program continues processing.
2. "NATL RECORD DELETION OR ADDITION NOT VALID" CARD-IMAGE
The deletion or addition of the national emission factor record
is not permissible. This transaction is rejected and the error
count is incremented. The program continues processing.
3. "STATE CODE NOT 01 - 55" or NATL KEY NOT = 000(301" CARD-IMAGE
The state code in this transaction is not 01 through 55. The
state code must be 00 for the national record or 01 through 55
for the state records. The transaction is rejected and the
error count is incremented. The program continues processing.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Update procedures by the Data Processing Section normally begin
when Regional Office personnel supply information identifying a data set
which was produced by NAA067 and which has been processed through the
Merge step. The update procedure may start with the pre-edit step when
data are received from nonroutine data sources in SAROAD card format.
Update procedures which are followed by DPS involve the following
steps: log-in, post-edit inventory, data acknowledgement, merge-split,
and update. These steps are shown in Figure 7.3.2-a
Log-in
All air quality data received by the NADB from Regional Offices or
any special studies will be logged in before processing begins. Before
the data can be logged in and processing begun, a cover letter should be
received with the' following minimum information given:
1. Name of agency submitting data.
2. Date of submission.
3. Approximate number of cards or records included.
4. Type of data (whether quarterly report data or supplemental
data) and the period covered.
5. If a magnetic tape contains the data, a magnetic tape file
transmittal form must be included for each file.

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Figure 7.3.2-b shows an example SAROAD transmittal form.
As the data are logged in, a control ID, which will be used for all
future references, is assigned. This control ID is assigned by using
SRD as first three characters, the state or region abbreviation as the .
next two characters, and the Julian date as the next three characters.
If several data sets or tape files are received on a given day, the
files are uniquely identified by letters of the alphabet.
Post-Edit Inventory
After the Control ID has been assigned, the Data Processing Section
executes NA049 to produce a Post Edit Inventory. This inventory gives
DPS the actual picture of the composition of data received from the R.O.
NA049 is a stand-along computer run which requires an input tape
created by NAA067.. The program performs a sequence check on the data
and aborts if the data are out of sort sequence. The only output
from the program is the inventory report.
The inventory report, Figure 7.3.2-c, lists a tally of observations
by action code for each state/area/site/pollutant/method/interval/year/
month/unit combination. For continuous monitoring data with an add
transaction, quarterly totals are computed, and for months and quarters
with less than 75% of the possible data, the actual percentage is com-
puted. When a state ends, totals are printed for the state, and when
the data set ends, totals are printed for adds, changes, and deletes.

The sum of the adds, changes, and deletes for a data set should
equal the total Output Records Generated from NAA067 or from the
or merges. Totals are also printed for <24 hour and 24
hour and 24 hour and >cut off year. These totals
identify whether the data must be split for update processing.
Acknowledgement
NADB will acknowledge each data submission received by completing
and forwarding to the appropriate Regional Office a "Receipt of Data
Submitted to the National Air Data Branch." Each "Receipt of Data" form
will be accompanied by "Post Edit Inventory of Data Received," which is
a computer listing of the data received in the subject submission. The
Regional Office, in turn, notifies the data originator of the disposition
of this data.
The "Receipt of Data Submitted to the National Air Data Branch"
(Figure 7.3.2-d) is completed as follows. The numbered explanations
refer to the numbered areas on the sample form attached.
1. If this is a magnetic tape submission, enter an "X".
2. Enter the reel number or other unique identifying number of
the magnetic tape submitted.
3. If this is a punched card submission, enter an "X".

is submitting the data and the date of the transmittal
memo.
5. Enter the date NADB received these data.
6. Enter an MX" to indicate the appropriate action codes sub-
mitted in the data.
7. Enter the NADB Control Identification Number assigned to
this submission.
Merge Split
All data sets which are received before the update cutoff date and
which have been processed through Post-Edit are processed through the
Merge-Split step.
The Merge combines individual data sets into one sorted data set
which will be updated. After this data set is created, by several
series of merges of five data sets, the split is run. Control inform-
mation from both the merge and post-edit'runs provides audit trail
functions to establish data accuracy and consistency.
NA057 is the program which splits the single merged data set into
data sets to update the greater than 24 hour file, the current less than
24 hour file, and the historic less than 24 hour file. A control card
permits specification of the year to split historic vs. current less than
24 hour data.

NA057 utilizes the merged transaction tape as input and produces up
to 3 output data sets for>24 hour data, historic<24 hour data, and
current*24 hour data. These 3 output data sets are Input to 3 individ-
ual updates.
Update
After the air quality data have been processed through the split,
the update transactions are updated to the raw data files. The update
programs (NA029 and NA029/D) create new raw data files, a summary of
transactions which is sent to Regional Office (Figure 7.3.2-e), a
changes tape to be utilized to calculate the summaries, and a tape
containing the rejected data. The summary files are created/updated after
the raw data files, but no output is created for review by the R.O.
A review of the "Summary of Transactions" by the R.O. will indicate
whether any data were rejected. If any data were rejected, the program
NA029B is utilized to create a listing of rejects as shown in Figure
7.3.2-f, or NA029B is utilized to create SAROAD card format data which
can be corrected and resubmitted through NAA067. The rejects listing
(Figure 7.2.3-f) contains six columns across the page and the contents
of each column includes:
Column 1: Transaction Code
1 - Change Value 3 - Delete Value
2 - Add Value 4 - Delete record

AEROS USER'S MANUAL
Validation is the term used to identify action taken to assure that
data are correct and complete. Validation of air quality data involves
either a manual p automated review of the data to ensure that individual
data values are within normal ranges for each specific pollutant. This
validation should be performed by the control agency reporting the data
to ensure that corrections are made as soon as possible and must be per-
formed before the data are submitted to NADB. Although a manual review by
an expert in air quality data would be ideal, the large volumes of air
quality data have required the process to be automated.
Automated validation techniques have been developed and are described
in the publication "Screening Procedures For Ambient Air Quality Data",
EPA-450/2*-78-037, OAQPS No. 1.2-092, Environmental Protection Agency,
Research Triangle Park, N.C., July, 1978. These procedures are being
installed as part of AQDHS-II of the Comprehensive Data Handling System
and are available for all States to implement.
The automated validation techniques are an important step in the SAROAD
terminal edit system as described in Section 7.1.2. Validation reports
that are generated by the Regional Office for a routine data submittal
must be returned to the reporting agency for evaluation, review and
verification of the questionable data.
The reporting agency must submit corrections to validation reports
to the Regional Office or verify to the Regional Office that the
questionable data are valid. Data that are received by NADB will be
assumed valid unless accompanied by a copy of the validation report as
submitted to the reporting agency.
