NEWSLETTER
- THE CLEARINGHOUSE FOR INVENTORIES AND EMISSION FACTORS —
EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY ACTIVITIES
On March 25-27, J. David Mobley attended the meeting for
the United Nations Economic Commission For Europe (UNECE)
Task Force On Emission Inventories, held at Keble College in
Oxford, England. The meeting was attended by 95 people from
23 countries. Mobley was the only attendee from the United
States and was Co-chair of the Verification Expert Panel with
Tinus Pulles of The Netherlands.
The main purpose of the meeting waste celebrate finaliz-
ing the UNECE Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook.
This Guidebook was also adopted for use by the European
countries participating in CORINAIR andfor the development
of the CORINAIR94 Emission Inventory which is now under

J&0****
The sixth annual U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency-Air & Waste Management Association (EPA-
AWMA) Emission Inventory Conference will be held at the
DoubleTree Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 4-
6,1996. The conference will provide a useful forum forthe
exchange of ideas and information on the use of emission
data between industry, EPA, state agencies, and the public.
Topics from emission estimation methods to compliance
reporting will be covered and will provide some information
related to the improvement of the emission inventory pro-
cess and utilization of emission data in national and re-
gional control strategies. Papers that relate industrial ex-
periences and concerns with inventories of air pollution
emissions and the methods used to estimate emissions will
also be presented.
Panel discussions related to OTAG, EIIP (see related
articles in this newsletter), international, permit and other
inventory related development are also planned. Continu-
ing education courses—including the use of computerized
emission estimation tools—and an exhibit of related prod-
ucts and services will be held in connection with the con-
ference technical program.

compilation. The Guidebook utilizes and conforms to the
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procedures and
AP-42 emission factors to the maximum extent possible. The
UNECE procedures also form the basis for reporting to the
United Nations (UN).
CORINAIR94 is scheduled to be completed by the end of
1996 and will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia,
nonmethane volatile organic compound, methane, carbon mon-
oxide, carbon dioxide, heavy metals (cadmium, mercury, and
lead), and some Persistent Organic Pollutants (polycyclic aro-
matic hydrocarbons, polychlorinatedbiphenyls, dioxin/furans).
There are numerous other persistent organic pollutants under
consideration for inclusion in the emission inventories but these
appear to be the initial set. The timing for compilation of the
data set has been shortened considerably over previous ef-
forts (CORINAIR85 and CORTNAIR90). This denotes improved
tools, techniques, and more knowledgeable personnel as well
as recognition that it has taken too long to develop and com-
pile previous emission inventories.
The UN Secretariat reported much improved compliance
with emission data reporting protocols over previous years.
This reflects the overall progress made in development of emis-
sion inventories and the increased priority andattention asso-
ciated with emission inventories. Data from the East European
counties appears to be emerging now also.
With completion of the Guidebook, the organization, fo-
cus, and leadership of the Task Force's activities was exam-
ined, and numerous changes were adopted. The Guidebook
will remain a key focus, but activities will be on maintenance
and enhancements rather than development. In addition, ap-
plication and assessments of the data will be highlighted as
opposed to developing estimation procedures. In this regard,
projections and validation activities are likely to be highlighted
along with air quality modeling applications. The next meeting
is targeted for June 1997 in The Netherlands and will be hosted
by the TNO at Aberdoorn.
Mobley also attended the Fuel Combustion Workshop on
Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories, which was also held in
Oxford, England in March. The Workshop was attended by 47
individuals from 25 countries of 6 continents and was spon-
sored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and De-
velopment (OECD), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), and the International Energy Agency (IEA).

A FAREWELL NOTE FROM JEM SOUTHERLAND
NoFoolin'l
April 1,1996 will leave a mark in my mind forever. This is the effective date of my break from US PHS/US EPA after 29 years
(of course, taking into account that EPA has only existed since 1970). There have been a lot of projects and efforts put forth over
those years and some have been successful, some not, but because of the great people I have had the opportunity to work with,
they have almost all been enjoyable. This includes the fellow "working folks" at EPA, the State and local representatives I have
worked with, industry representatives and consultants. Most particularly, I have had the opportunity in recent years, to work
under the direct supervision of two individuals (Ed Lillis and David Mobley) who have been uplifing and supportive profession-
ally and personally. Emission factor and emission inventory work will go on as well after
I leave as before, as their vision and guidance, as well as that of many other individuals,
are left behind to "watch the flock."
I look back and see the progress we have made and am astounded. I look forward to
all the potential on the horizon and am awe struck. I see states making their data available
to the public by Internet; I see integrated GIS data bases that clearly show both profession-
als and novices the infinite details of each emission source and surrounding territory; I see
emissions data used daily in routine ways for valuable purposes that we had not even realized
were possible. I even see thebudgeters andplanners realizing that they cannot go forward with a
creditable program without first having a reliable emission inventory to use for tracking progress.
Emission inventories lead to success!
I am also looking forward to working with Russell Hageman and Brock Nicholson and all the staff
with the North Carolina Air Quality Section in Raleigh. If youwantto join forces to work toward some
common goals (and gang up on those Feds! Chuckle?), give me a call in Raleigh at 919 715-7566 or e-mail
at jim_southerland@aq.ehnr.state.nc.us. Let's hope we can make as much progress and have as much
fun in the next 30 years as the last!
UNECE (Continued from p. 1)
The purpose of the Workshop was to develop modifications
to the OECD/IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories, adding estimation procedures to the Energy
Chapter for methaneand nitrousoxide as well as ozone and
aerosol precursors. In the course of this modification, the
OECD/IPCC Guidelines were harmonized with the UNECE
Guidebook, EPA procedures, and AP-42 emissionfactors. A
draft of recommended enhancements had been prepared by
IEA and all issues concerning this draft were addressed. The
final versions of the recommendations will be forwarded to
IPCC member countries in August for acceptance or rejec-
tion at their September 1996 meeting. To the maximum extent
possible, the IPCC Guidelines are consistent with the UNECE
and EPA procedures for emission inventories.
The emission inventory activities worldwide are increas-
ing at a significant rate. Ozone, acid rain, and emerging air
toxic issues are keeping US and Canada emission inventory
activities at a high level. The UNECE protocols and air pollu-
tion issues in Europe are advancing emission inventory ac-
tivities in Western Europe and linkage within Eastern Europe
are extending activities into those countries. Greenhouse
gas emission inventory activities and the Rio Convention
are stimulating emission inventory activities worldwide.
These are increasing demand for emission factors, emission
estimation procedures (simple but accurate), and verification
techniques to ensure that estimates are consistent and accu-
rate. This is contrasted with limited resources available to do
the work with the quality desired by the users and develop-
ers. It should be an interesting and challenging time to work
in the emission inventory program.
LETTER To JEM SOUTHERLAND
I want to commend you, an original member of EPA/
OAQPS, for your many years of service in the nation's ef-
forts against air pollution. We all value your dedication to
the Agency's work, especially in the production and im-
provement of emissionfactors, the necessary means of esti-
mating both the sources and the scope of air pollution. Un-
der your direction, EPA's oldest and most often requested
publication series, the Compilation Of Air Pollutant Emis-
sion Factors, AP-42, has long been a "best seller" at the
Government Printing Office and now is at work in many thou-
sands of copies almost literally everywhere. Your work with
the series has led to the worldwide use of emission factors,
with the current mail list for it encompassing 63 countries.
Also, your ideas for CHIEF, the Clearinghouse for Emis-
sion Inventories And Factors, have expanded the availabil-
ity of AP-42 well beyond its printed volumes and have led
OAQPS in the development and use of modern electronic
media, including the CHIEF electronic bulletin board, the
TANKS emission calculation software, the Air CHIEF
CD-ROM, the FIRE database, Fax CHIEF, and on to the
Internet. Your efforts here have improved the quantity, qual-
ity, and availability of emissionfactors for 30 years.
I wish you well in your new position with the North
Carolina Department Of The Environment, Health, And Natu-
ral Resources. OAQPS will miss you.
— John Seitz, OAQPS Director

EIIP: PAYING DIVIDENDS Now AND IN THE FUTURE
As the Emission Inventory Improvement Program (EIIP) begins its third year of existence, the benefits of the program are
already evident. The volume of guidance chapters in final or external draft form continues to grow. Although the formal
implementation of the guidance was planned to begin in the next phase, some EIIP products are already beingput to use at the
state level. For example, the Data Attribute Rating System (BARS) was recently endorsed in a California Air Resources Board
newsletter as a means of selecting the most reliable method for estimating emissions.
The EIIP is producing guidance that will result in higher quality data for air emission inventories. By pooling resources and
working cooperatively, state and local agencies, EPA, and industry are reducing the cost of producing inventories. Further-
more, the EIIP empowers state and local agencies by providing the knowledge and peer support system needed to make sound
decisions.
High Quality Emission Inventory Data
Having high quality data in air emission inventories is important because these data are the foundation of many decisions.
Emission inventories are used for assessing air quality, developing control regulations, and as a basis for issuing air permits.
Mistakes in the emission inventory affect all subsequent calculations and decisions further along in the process. Correcting
emission inventories to address problems caused by early mistakes can be costly and even embarrassing when the agency is
held publicly accountable for the quality of the work. Furthermore, errors in emission inventories may result in unrealistic
regulations, leaving an agency open to challenges from the public and from the regulated industry.
Cost Savings
In these days of budget cuts at federal and state levels, it is even more important that the remaining money be spent wisely
on programs that can be justified. By consolidating resources through the EIIP, the costs of developing emission inventory
guidance and of transferring emission inventory technology are shared among and directed by the states. This reduces the
overall cost for emission inventory technology to state and local agencies as well as to the country.
State And Local Agencies In The Lead
Implementation of environmental regulations is now falling more and more to state and local governments. At the same
time, the funds to support development of guidance, factors, and QA tools at the federal level is dwindling. State and local
regulatory agency personnel are leading the EIIP process by transferring knowledge that fosters improved decision-making.
A very important benefit of the state and local leadership within the EIIP is the formation of a peer support system. The
sharing of common problems and their solutions has been one of the primary benefits to those who have participated in
developing the guidance and tools. EIIP participants place great value in the guidance and procedures that they have devel-
oped together. That collective wisdom is being incorporated in common guidance from state and local agencies, industry, and
the EPA.
EIIP's Future
As EIIP looks beyond this year, it is clear that the next phase is to do more to implement the guidance in the real world.
Several ongoing activities have been identified as opportunities to put EIIP guidance into action: sharing program activities
with regional or interregional air quality programs such as OTAG, the Grand Canyon Visibility Study, SAMI, MARAMA, and
others; developing emission control strategies; facilitating the permitting process; providing a basis for emission trading
requirements; and providing the tools needed for more consistent and defensible environmental impact assessments. A basic
need of these activities to share consistent emission inventory data sets will also be supported with the EIIP's recommendation
of a standard data transfer format and transfer protocol.
Because EIIP is not a regulatory body, the success of
this program depends on how much and how well other agen-
cies or programs use the guidance. The EIIP procedures docu-
ments provide a selection of methods for estimating emis-
sions. While some are clearly identified as "preferred", the
EIIP has no authority to require that they be used. Rather, the
guidance documents can be used as a reference for any group
requiring an emission inventory; that group can specify that a
particular EIIP method (or set of methods) be used that fits
with the data quality objectives of their program.

/A™ CHIEFs MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Some hot topics, with information on each.
Q: Can I download AP-42 sections from the Internet?
A: Yes! We finally have an FTP site for the CHIEFBBS files.
The Remote Host address for the FTP site is 134.67.104.11.
This is an anonymous site, meaning that users should type
"anonymous" as the User Name and the Password should be
your email address or anything that uses the convention of
"@". The CHIEFEBS files are located in the "E-
Drive" directory and can be downloaded directly to your com-
puter.
The AP-42 sections are still available on the CHIEFBBS,
which may be accessed using the TELNET platform. The
TELNET address to the Office Of Air Quality Planning And
Standards Technology Transfer Network (OAQPS TTN) is
ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov. Unfortunately, many users are unable to
download using TELNET, depending on the type of computer
connection they are using. If you have questions about con-
necting through TELNET, contact the TTN Hotline at (919)
541-5384.
EFIG plans to put the AP-42 sections on the Internet via
our web site in the near future. Presently, the FIRE database,
the TANKS software, and the CHIEF Newsletter can be down-
loaded via the EPA web site. The EFIG web site can be ac-
cessed at the following address: http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/
efig/tools.html.
Q: There are many sections of AP-42 that have not been
completed and have been designated as "Work In Progress".
When will these sections be completed?
A: The AP-42 sections that were not included in the original
Fifth Edition publication are sections that will be released in
later published supplements to AP-42. Many of these sections
are already available on the CHIEFBBS and the Fax CHIEF
and also in the very recently published AP-42 Supplement A.
If you wish to purchase the hard copy of Supplement A, please
contact the Government Printing Office, (202) 512-1800.
As EFIG continues to update these "works in progress",
the final sections will become available on both the CHIEF
BBS and the Fax CHIEF. Often, EFIG also puts draft versions
of these sections on the CHIEF BB S under the "AP-42 / E F
Guidance" menu item for comments from the user community.
Q: How can I get on the CHIEF Newsletter mailing list?
A: The Emission Factor And Inventory Group publishes this
quarterly newsletter, The CHIEF Newsletter, to keep the pub-
lic informed about new emission estimation tools, conferences,
and other information relating to emission factors and invento-
ries. Due to budgetary constraints and the possible cessation
of printed copies, The CHIEF Newsletter is now available in a
variety of electronic formats. It is available in a PDF file format
on our Internet Web Page, at http ://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/
efig/tools.html. This requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader ®
for viewing. The CHIEF Newsletter is also available in
WordPerfect 5.1® and WordPerfect Envoy® formats on the
CfflEFBBS, modem dial-up number (919) 541-5742 or TELNET
ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov.
EFIG has also recently established a listserver group for
email distribution of The CHIEF Newsletter. If you would like
to be a member of the listserver, email a message to
listserver@unixmail.rtpnc.epa.gov and type "Subscribe CHIEF
" in the message, where "
" supplies the name of the individual who will be
receiving the listserver messages.
The CHIEF Newsletter is also available on the Fax
CHIEF, our automated fax document delivery service. This
maybe accessed by dialing, (919) 541-5626 or (919) 541-0548.
Call this from your fax machine using a fax with a touch-tone
keypad and a phone receiver or speaker device. A recorded
message will give you instructions (much like voice mail). To
obtain the Fax CHIEF document index, dial" 1" for the docu-
ment number; the Fax CHIEF will then automatically fax you
a copy of the document index of all Fax CHIEF documents.
THE POPULARITY OF AP-42 CONTINUES!
The Government PintingOffice sold out of first
runs of the Fifth Edition paper copies and Air CHIEF
CD-ROMs. More copies have been produced and sales
totals for both as of May 15 were:
Paper copies: 2,159; Air CHIEF: 1,750.

FIRE VERSION 5.1 A: RELEASED APRIL 1996
The latest version of EFIG's Factor Information Retrieval (FIRE) data system is now
j available! No changes have been made to the operating software since the last release in
October 1995; thus, the software version numberremains "5.1". However, we have added the
"A" to indicate that the Criteria and Toxics modules have been updated to contain emission
factors from the Fifth Edition of AP-42, Supplement A. We have also corrected a number of
miscellaneous errors primarily related to AP-42 Chapters 1 & 3 sources (External & Internal
_ Combustion). We will be comparing FIRE with AP-42 for the remaining chapters over the next
^3\ in u^^ M/3) fgw months, but we do not expect to find the type or volume of discrepancies as those that
JL~ have been corrected inFIREv5.lA.
»2) ^// !3 ^e l00^11? fue tables used by the Criteria and Toxics modules have also been updated,
ff l)v\V KSv including the 4 files that comprise the Source Classification (SCC) list. FIRE's SCC list is
M . ] Jl^ft J3) compatible with the SCC list in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS) as of April
23,1996. However, AIRS does not yet have the updated emission factors contained in FIRE.
EPA expects to update the AIRS emission factors to equal those in FIRE overthe next several
months.
To get a copy of the new FIRE 5.1 A, download it from the" AP-42/EF Guidance" menu item on the CHIEF BBS, (919) 541-
5742; or from the CHIEFFTP Site, ttnftp.rtpnc.epa or 134.67.104.11. FIRE 5.1A is also available from the EFIG Web Page at
http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/efig/tools.html.
A word of caution: installation of Version 5.1 or 5.1A software will overwrite any earlier software version (5.0 or earlier)
along with any earlier Criteria and Toxic Distribution modules. While this will not overwrite any earlieruser-created modules,
those older modules are not compatible and cannot be accessed with the version 5.1 software. Therefore, you may wish to save
any existing user modules along with the older version of the software elsewhere prior to installing FIRE Version 5.1.
SUPPLEMENT A Is AVAILABLE!
Supplement A to Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, Vol. I, 5th Edition (AP-42) is complete. A list of the
Supplement A contents is attached. Unfortunately, due to the same printing and mailing restrictions which have affected the
newsletter, it is unlikely that EPA will be able to distribute Supplement A to state and local agencies and other AP-42 subscribers.
It is available for $23.00 (StockNumber, 055-000-00551-6) from the Government
Printing Office, (202) 512-1800. Individual sections can also be downloaded
fromthe Fax CHIEF, CHIEFEBS andviaFTP. To order from Fax CHIEF,
call (919) 541-5626 or 541-0548. A recorded message will instruct you to type
in a document number. Dial document 000001 to get the index showing the
section titles with the revision dates and code numbers. To use the CHIEF
Bulletin Board, dial (919) 541-5742, and choose the "AP-42/EF Guidance"
menu item, select the "AP-42" menu item, and then go to the " Supplement A
& B to 5th Edition" menu item. Transfer FTP files from the AP-42 directory at
FTP address: ttnftp.rtpnc.epa.gov or 134.67.104.11. We will soon have Supple-
ment A available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/
efig/tools.html. This will be in Adobe Acrobat9 format. Paper copies of
Supplement A are available from other sources; call Info CHIEFTor more

TANKS VERSION 3.0
Is Now AVAILABLE
At long last, TANKS 3.0 has been posted on the
CHIEF Bulletin Board System under emission estima-
tion software. TANKS 3.0 uses the same FoxPro software
used for TANKS Versions 1.0 and 2.0 but incorporates
many new features.
A "readme" file posted along with the model cata-
logues the significantnewfeaturesofTANKS 3.0. Some
of the more significant changes are:
1. New estimating equations and fitting factors appli-
cable to both internal floating roof tanks (IFRTs) and ex-
ternal floating roof tanks (EFRTs).
2. Fitting factors for additional configurations for slot-
ted and unslotted guidepoles have been added.
3. A new rim seal loss estimating equation and corre-
sponding loss factors have been added.
4. A fitting wind speed correction factor has been added
to account for the shielding effect of the tank shell on the
wind induced losses from external floating roof deck com-
ponents.
5. An option for estimating emissions from domed ex-
ternal floating roof tanks has been added.
6. A heated tank option has been added.
7. New chemicals have been added to the chemical da-
tabase.
8. Users can now add new deck fittings and rim seals
and their associated loss factors.
Test method and laboratory certification programs
are now under development by the American Petroleum
Institute to allow the development of reliable loss factors
for vendor specific rim seal and deck fitting designs.
TANKS 3.0 has been developed with this process in mind
and allows the user to input loss factors for rim seals and
deck components. This is a departure from earlier ver-
sions of TANKS which required use of loss factors devel-
oped for generic equipment designs. Our goal is to es-
tablish uniform and repeatable procedures to determine
loss rates specific to individual vendor equipment de-
signs and thereby promote the development of improved
rim seals and deck component designs.
Any questions regarding the revisions to TANKS
3.0 should be directed to Dennis Beauregard of the Emis-
sionFactor and Inventory Group at (919) 541-5512.
THE OTAG EMISSION INVENTORY DATABASE
The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) was formed
in May 1995 at the request of the Environmental Commissioners of
the States (ECOS). The mission given to OTAG was to develop a
program to understand the transport of ozone and its precursors
across state boundaries. To address this transboundry transport
problem in its entirety, rather than on a state-by-state basis, investi-
gators need to know both the amount of pollutant being emitted and
its origin. This information will be used in emission and air quality
models to determine the extent of pollutant transport and to test
various proposed control strategies.
Emission data needs for the OTAG modeling program requires
information for each county for each state in the domain. To meet
this condition, data from two sources were used to build the OTAG
emission inventory. Each state was responsible for compiling their
data, checking for errors, and submitting to OTAG (via EPA contrac-
tors). States supplied, at a minimum, data for their nonattainment
areas. Other statewide data were provided if available. For any
county not represented by state data, the EPA "Interim Inventory"
was used.
OTAG 1990 NOx EMISSIONS
(Ibs/summer day/sq. mile)
The assembled OTAG data are available from several sources in
different formats. All data are available via anonymous FTP
('earthl.epa.gov' in the directory /pub/gopher/EmisInventory). File
names areNEI90AR*.ZIPandNEr90PT*.ZIPforDOS users. UNIX
users should download the files NEI90AR*.TXT.Z and
NEI90PT* .TXT.X. Note that "*" indicates the version number of the
particular file (Version 2 is the current version). Summary data in the
"Tier format" can be found on the TTN under OTAG Bulletin Board.
The file OTAG-EI.ZIP can be downloaded from the Modeling and
Assessment subdirectory under Emission Inventory. The data also
can be accessed via Internet at "http://www.epa.gov/tut".

LATEST AIR CHIEF CD-ROM
FINALIST FOR AWARD
The latest version (4.0) of the Air CHIEF
compact disc, by the Emission Factor And In-
ventory Group (EFIG), was recently a finalist in
competition for a national award as "Best Help
Desk/Technical Reference Application" of 1996.
This award is given annually to infobase appli-
cations by Folio Corporation, the creator ofFo-
tto BoundViewsP', the interface software ("plat-
form") used on the Air CHIEF and many other
CD-ROMs. Nominations for this award recog-
nize innovative ways to search, annotate, and
otherwise navigate the "infobase set", the ma-
terial on the CDs. Among other considerations
for the award are user support and training,
custom documentation, on-line help, and vi-
sual appeal of the disc. EFIG is pleased to re-
ceive this recognition.
The Air CHIEF CD-ROM appears
annually, through cooperative efforts between
the Emission Factor And Inventory Group and
Radian Corporation.
SURFACE COAL MINE EMISSION FACTORS
In the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Section 234 directs
EPA to review and revise the apparent overprediction resulting from
the use of available surface coal mine emission factors and dispersion
models. Efforts were undertaken by EPA to evaluate the emission fac-
tors and to make revisions to the models normally used. Initially, a need
for over $5 Million was identified for conducting the work. Unfortu-
nately, this level of resources was not available from the EPA budget
nor from the effected industry. Subsequently, a reduced emission fac-
tor development effort was initiated that was focused on the perceived
major source, mine haul roads. Work was also carried out to make
revisions to the model and conduct some field validation work.
The emission factor work and modeling work have both been com-
pleted and reported in several final reports. Discussion continues,
however, on the final status and appropriate information to include in
AP-42. Substantial progress has been made toward improving the tech-
nical credibility of both the factors and the model (the "statistics" are
much improved). However, the results of the field work and generally
low ambient concentrations near the mines, indicate that there is still
overprediction of PM-10 emissions by the combined use of the new
factors proposed for AP-42 and the model. In view of this, decisions
are being made as to what will be published in AP-42 on the short term
(post-Supplement A) and what canbe done in a longer time frame with
and without more resources. A proposed revisionto the AP-42 section
is on the CHIEF BBS.
