ABSTRACT
The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 called for Reasonable Further
Progress (RFP) inventories to be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for the purpose of demonstrating strategies by which a 15% reduction in volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions will be achieved over the years 1990 to 1996. This
requirement applies to moderate, serious, severe, and extreme ozone nonattainment areas.
In addition, serious, severe, and extreme areas must demonstrate at least a 3% annual
average reduction beginning in 1996 and continuing thereafter until attainment is
reached. In order to meet Section 182(b)(1) and 182(c)(2) requirements, state/local air
agencies require a computer system capable of performing "what if scenario analysis" and
reporting the final results (i.e., their Rate of Progress [ROP] inventory) to the EPA (i.e.,
Aerometric Information Retrieval System [AIRS]). This system will be based upon the 3%
RFP Tracking System that was developed in FY92/FY93. The 3% RFP Tracking System
is a Windows application, and enhancements to convert the 3% RFP Tracking System to a
Multiple Projections System (MPS) will continue to be within the framework of a
Windows application. The system will support ROP inventories for ozone and carbon
monoxide (CO) and thus will contain VOC, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and CO data. The
most significant change from the original 3% RFP Tracking System to the MPS is the
ability to submit a "final" projection emissions inventory in the format required by the
AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS) and the AIRS Area and Mobile Subsystem (AMS).
The MPS is by outward appearance a collection of screens with buttons the user
can click. These buttons simplify the task of setting user-defined parameters which the
program will use in projecting future emissions and generating screen or hard copy
output. The name of each screen is shown in the upper middle part of the screen. Most
of the major headings in this manual correspond to the names of these screens, and they
are presented in the order of their appearance on the monitor. For clarity, screen names
are always printed in all capital letters. Specific buttons are referred to by the text
printed on them, using bold italic font, with the first letter of each word capitalized.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE OF THE MULTIPLE PROJECTIONS SYSTEM
The Multiple Projections System (MPS) is designed to facilitate the projection of
future emissions of ozone precursors, specifically carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), and oxides of nitrogen (NOJ, in any given geographic area. The MPS
gives State/local air agencies a computer system capable of performing "what if scenario
analyses" and reporting the final results (i.e., their Rate of Progress [ROP] inventory) to
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (i.e., Aerometric Information Retrieval
System [AIRS]).
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The prototype MPS was developed using Superbase 4, a Microsoft Windows data
base package that can be compiled and distributed as a stand-alone product. As a
Windows product, it requires Windows in order to run. Refer to the Microsoft Windows
manual for information on general Windows operating procedures. Additionally, a
computer with a 386SX or better microprocessor and at least 4 MB of RAM is suggested
as the platform on which to run the prototype. Because the system was developed using a
Windows-based product, it has been configured to run entirely using a mouse to point and
click on various buttons to perform commands or functions. However, all functions can
also be accessed via the keyboard. A hard disk drive is required to store all input and
output data files. Disk space required is dependent on the number and size of geographic
areas to be studied. The system is not designed to run on a local area network (LAN).
Running more than one copy of the program at once will cause file conflicts and should be
avoided.
INSTALLING THE MULTIPLE PROJECTIONS SYSTEM
The procedures below should be used to copy the MPS to your computer. The C:
drive is used as an example, but the MPS can be installed on any drive from C to Z.
1. Create a subdirectory named MPS on your C: drive. C:\MPS\
2. Copy the TESTDATA directory and files to C:\MPS\. Use the program PKUNZIP
to unzip all three MPS files into the C:\MPS\ directory. One way to accomplish
this is to copy the MPS zipped files and PKUNZIP.EXE into the C:\MPS\
directory and then execute PKUNZIP (from the C:\MPS\> DOS prompt) for each
zipped file. You may remove the .ZIP files and PKUNZIP from the directory after
this step is complete. PKUNZIP is available on the TTN bulletin board.
3. Access the Windows Program Manager.
4. Select a group window in which to place the MPS icon.
5. Select File from the menu bar.
-------
6.
Select the New command on the File menu.
7. Click the Program Item radio button, then click OK
8. Type MPS in the Description box.
9. Type C:\MPS\SBRTS.EXE in the Command Line box.
10. Click the Change Icon button.
11. Type C:\MPS\MPS_ICON.ICO in the File Name box, click OK, select an icon,
and click OK.
12. Click OK
OPENING THE MULTIPLE PROJECTIONS SYSTEM
The MPS can be opened by double clicking the MPS icon in the Windows Program
Manager.
CLOSING THE MULTIPLE PROJECTIONS SYSTEM
Close the MPS by clicking the Quit button, which is in the lower left part of most
screens. Then click the Quit button in the lower middle part of the START screen. The
standard Windows Close icon in the upper left corner of the program window is disabled
during operation to allow the program to cease operation properly. Use the Quit buttons
to exit the MPS, When you are back in Windows, click on the Graphic Server icon if it is
visible and choose Close.
TWO MODES OF OPERATION
The MPS can project emissions out to the year 2010. Output options from the
System include tables or graphs, which can be directed to the computer screen or to a
printer. Tabular results can also be output to an ASCII file, allowing the user to
subsequently import the reported information into other software. Batch transaction files
can be created for input to the AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS) or the AIRS Area and
Mobile Source Subsystem (AMS). In addition to projecting emissions, the System can
display projections in the form of percent relative to base year emissions.
The MPS has two basic modes of operation: interactive mode and batch mode. In
general, interactive mode is suitable for first time users and for users who intend to
perform a limited number of runs or iterations. Batch mode enables the user to set up
multiple runs and have the MPS execute them unattended. This mode is useful for
sensitivity studies, because a user can focus on one particular input data set, alter only
one or two parameters between runs, and perform all the runs with one click of a mouse.
The initial screen displayed allows the user to select interactive or batch mode, or to
update tier files. Chapter 2 explains in greater detail what the interactive mode does and
how to use it. Use of the batch mode is explained in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 details the
output capabilities of the MPS. Updating MPS's tier files is explained in Chapter 5.
2
-------
When base year data is imported into the MPS, it is contained in 2 files. All point
source data is in the AFS file. The AFS records in the file are at the segment level. Area
and Mobile emissions data are in the AMS file. Emission factors for on-road mobile
sources are imported into a third file. E-GAS growth factor data is loaded into both the
AFS and AMS files during the import process.
After data is imported, the files contain no projected control data other than
projected emission factors for on-road mobile sources. If a run of the projection
calculation routine is done immediately after data import, the resulting projections for
point and area sources will represent growth only. Projected control data must be entered
by the user. The data will be saved when the system is shut down so that changes can be
made to the files over a period of time. The base year and projected control data will only
be removed when new data files are imported or when a previously saved file is retrieved.
The AFS, AMS, and output files can be saved in the output section of the interactive mode
of MPS. Once saved, a data set can be retrieved for output or modification by accessing
the files through the Batch mode.
When calculations are run, the projected emissions are computed and saved to an
output file. This file contains all data necessary to generate graphs and reports within
the MPS. AIRS batch transaction files can also be generated using the MPS, but the
necessary data is contained both in the output file and in the AFS or AMS data file. The
projected control values are contained in the AFS or AMS data files, and are included,
when appropriate, in the batch transaction files. The batch transaction files must be
created while the AFS and AMS data files still hold the projected control values which
were used to project the emissions.

CHAPTER 2
INTERACTIVE MODE
OVERVIEW
As was stated in Chapter 1, the purpose of the MPS is to facilitate the projection of
future emissions of CO, VOC, and NO,. To this end, the interactive mode of the MPS was
created with the following basic capabilities:
: import emissions data for 1990 and control efficiency (CE), rule effectiveness (EE),
rule penetration (RP), and growth factor data for 1990 and later years;
import 1990 activity level data, projected growth factors, and projected emission
factor data for on-road mobile sources;
allow for alternative base year projections;
accept user-specified criteria for selecting imported records;
allow editing of imported CE, RE, RP, and growth factor data prior to projection of
future emissions;
project future emissions for the selected records based on these data;
export projected emissions data as DBase III, Lotus, and Excel files;
generate tabular reports of projected emissions out to the year 2010;
generate graphs depicting projected emissions out to the year 2010;
generate batch transaction files of projected emissions data for import into AFS or
AMS; and
export projected emissions as text files in the Emissions Preprocessor System
(EPS) format.
Necessary input from the user to the MPS may be apparent from this list. The
user must provide files containing the 1990 emissions data and the CE, RE, RP, and
growth factor data for future years. The projected growth factor file is generated by the
Economic Growth Analysis System (E-GAS).
The E-GAS is a menu driven software system, developed by EPA, that is capable of
producing growth factors for the extreme, severe, serious, and multi-state moderate ozone
nonattainment areas that must, under the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990, use
photochemical grid modeling to demonstrate future attainment with the ozone national
ambient air quality standard [Section 182(e)(2)(A)]. Since growth in source emissions
7
-------
largely depends on the amount of economic activity growth in an area, a consistent and
reliable set of growth factors requires forecasts using consistent Gross National Product
forecasts and a consistent methodology for estimating economic activity in Urban Airshed
Model and Regional Oxidant Model modeling regions. This consistency and reliability in
forecasts and methodologies is important for two reasons: 1) interactive nature of
forecasting future emissions levels and the effects of regulations and corresponding
emission control strategies, and 2) state I local air agencies will be developing control
strategies, in part, based on anticipated growth in these nonattainment areas in order to
meet the mandated CAAA reductions.
The 1990 emissions data files are retrieved from the appropriate AIRS subsystem.
The projected emission factor data must be compiled by the user. The remainder of the
user's input is supplied via the screen buttons and mouse or keyboard. After the data
have been imported, the user is then presented with a series of screens, each of which
allows the user to select a value for a single parameter (e.g., pollutant). The MPS uses
these parameters (which also include geographic area and projection year) as criteria for
selecting the imported records for which projections are to be made. Then the user may
edit the imported CE, RE, RP, and growth factor data; at this point the MPS can project
the future emissions. The two equations used to forecast projected emissions for point
and area sources (adjusted base year inventory) are as follows;
UE = DCONE + [1 -(CE * RE * RP)\
where: UE = Daily Uncontrolled Emissions
DCONE = Daily Controlled Emissions
CE = Adjusted Base Year Control Efficiency
RE - Adjusted Base Year Rule Effectiveness
RP = Adjusted Base Year Rule Penetration (not applicable to point sources)
PCONE = UE * [1 - (PCE * PRE * PRP)\ * GF
where: PCONE = Projected Year Actual Emissions
PCE = Projected Year Control Efficiency
PRE = Projected Year Rule Effectiveness
PRP = Projected Year Rule Penetration (not applicable to point sources)
GF = Growth Factor
The following equation is used to forecast projected emissions for on-road and
nonroad mobile sources:
FPE = BVMT (or BNRAR) * EF * CF * GF
where: FPE = EPA Forecasted Projected Emissions
BVMT = Base VMT by Vehicle Class by Facility Class by Calendar Year
or
BNRAK s= Base Nonroad Activity Sate
EF = Emission Factor (output of Mobile Model)
CF = Conversion Factor (grams per year to tons per day)
8
-------
GF
Growth Factor Calculated by E-GAS
These projected data, which are stored in a Superbase file, can be exported as a
Lotus, DBase, or Excel file. Using screen buttons, the user can generate several types of
reports, graphs, and files based on the data in the Superbase file.
The above summary is reflected in Figure 2, which shows the typical data flow through
the MPS in interactive mode.
Figure 2. Interactive Mode Typical Data Flow

-------
REQUIRED INPUT DATA
The required input data must be available in fixed-length ASCII files. The E-GAS
growth factor file is necessary for all runs. A file containing 1990 emissions, CE, and RE
data from AFS is required for projecting facility data. When projecting area and mobile
source data, a file containing 1990 emissions, CE, RE, and RP from AMS is required.
When projecting mobile emissions a file of on-road mobile source emission factors is
needed. Appendix A provides complete specifications for these files.

-------
Figure 3 is the first screen which appears after Interactive mode is chosen from
the START screen. The user is prompted to select the level of geographic coverage. If the
area of concern does not coincide with one of the levels provided, you can perform two or
more separate runs on constituent areas and combine the output from each run to enable
reporting and graphing of data from the entire larger area. For example, for an area
consisting roughly of three counties, emissions projections for the counties can be
generated in three separate runs, and the output data can be combined in a single data
base file, which in turn is used to generate reports and/or graphs. For further
explanation, see the "Output File Options" section.
Note that you must be prepared to provide input files applicable to the area of
geographic coverage. See Appendix A, "Required Input Data Files" for an explanation of
these files.
Click the button corresponding to the appropriate
level of geographic coverage. A dialog box then provides a
list of areas for that level of coverage. Figure 4 (at right)
shows the dialog box for selecting a State. The row of
buttons below the list can be used to browse through the
list. The far left and far right buttons scroll one page
backward and forward, respectively. The two inner
buttons scroll through the list one row at a time. The
area of interest can be selected by 1) double clicking it in
the list, 2) choosing it from the list [single click) and
clicking OK, or 3) typing in the number corresponding to
the area and clicking OK. Counties and States are
identified by Federal Information Processing System
(FIPS) code. If County is chosen as the level of coverage,
a dialog box prompts you to select the State where the
county of interest is located before you enter the county.

example, if you click Both, you should have two ASCII files — one from AFS and one
from AMS — containing emissions data for the geographic area you specified earlier. The
MPS is designed to import AFS and AMS adjusted base year data. However, the system

current directory, it will not appear in the look-up table. The system will initially display
files with the extensions shown in Table 1.

The current directory can be changed by double clicking the bracketed items in the
directory box. Select your input data files as prompted. If AMS or Both were selected on
the AIRS Data Type screen, the user will be prompted for an on-road mobile emission
factor file. If no on-road mobile emissions will be projected, this file will not be needed.
Selecting Cancel bypasses the import of this file. When prompted for E-GAS growth
factor files, select the com_fuel.scc file. The MPS will locate all other E-GAS files in the
same directory.
See Appendix A, "Required Input Data Files," for information on file formats.

Import
Figure 10. The Import Screen
The IMPORT screen appears after all input files have been specified. If you want to
change your choice for one or more of the input files, click the Reset Files button. You
will be prompted to select the data files again; otherwise, click Import. During import,
E-GAS growth factors are loaded into the projected data fields in the AFS and AMS
emissions files. If no growth factor is found in the E-GAS files, the projected growth is set
to 1. This indicates no activity increase from the base year and may cause projected
emissions to be under reported. Growth factors may be edited after import, and it is
necessary to enter the correct values to ensure correct emission projections.
While the MPS is importing the ASCII files, the message "Importing Data" is
displayed on the screen and on the screen title bar. When the import is completed, a beep
is sounded, the title bar changes to read "Import Done," and the next screen is displayed.
Depending upon the size of the files, the import procedure may take several minutes. If
so, you may want to minimize the MPS window and do some work with other software.
The beep is audible even while other software is in use. Furthermore, when the MPS is
16
-------
minimized, the same message that appears on the title bar is shown as the icon label.
Thus, you can check the icon label and know whether or not the import is complete.
During the import, a set of VCR like buttons will be displayed along the bottom of
the screen. If you need to shut down the program, click the Stop button which is second
from the left. This option will also be available later during the calculation phase. Please
allow the current operation to complete if possible, as using the Quit button on the START
screen to exit the program is the safest option. Shutting off the computer during program
execution may lose some program files and cause reinstallation to be necessary.

Figure 14. The SCC Screen
If you click the All SCCs button, projections will be calculated for all SCCs in the
imported base year emissions data file. If you click the Specified SCCs button, you can
specify up to five SCCs, and generate graphs of emissions or percentage reductions by
SCC.
An SCC entry dialog box will be displayed when the Specified SCCs button is
clicked. Individual codes can be selected from the look-up table provided in the box. In
addition to full SCC codes, partial codes (i.e., 1 to 9 digits) can also be entered, thereby
permitting group selection of SCCs and subsequent graphing of combined emissions data
for the SCC group. For example, if you want to graph combined emissions for all SCCs
having the first 3 digits 101, you simply type 101* at the first SCC entry dialog box; when
entering partial SCC codes, the wild card character (*) must follow the numbers. If you
want to enter less than five (partial or full) SCC codes, click Cancel in the first unneeded
SCC entry box. For example, if you want a report on only two SCCs, click the Specified
SCCs button, enter the first SCC, click OK, enter the second SCC, click OK, and cancel
19

the third SCC entry box. Another dialog box will show the codes you have entered, so you
can review them and, if you have made a mistake, reenter them.

Figure 15. The Parameter Modification Screen
The Parameter modification screen, shown above, is used to selectively alter the
specifications currently stored in memory and to edit imported data files prior to
calculating projected emissions. There is no required order for making these changes. If
no changes are desired, click the Calculate button. The calculation procedure should be
bypassed only if the data in the output file were generated from the current settings using
the current files (see the section on the OUTPUT File OPTIONS screen for an explanation of
the output file). To bypass calculation, click the Output button. If any changes in the
projected values or parameters were made since the last calculation, the changes will not
be reflected in the projected emissions.
Altering Run Specifications
The three buttons in the upper left part of the screen can be used to change the
pollutant, projection year, or SCO selections. (Note that the geographic coverage setting
cannot be changed at this point. If you need a different geographic coverage, you must
return to the START screen.) Unless you change these specifications here, they will remain
the same until you return to the Start screen. In each case, once the new setting is
chosen, the PARAMETER MODIFICATION screen reappears.
21
-------
This part of the MPS enables you to duplicate the previous run except for the
changes that you specify. For example, if you want to generate two similar reports, one for
VOC and one for CO, you can perform the run for VOC, then change the pollutant to CO,
recalculate projected emissions, and generate the second report. Projected values for the
CE, EE, RP, and growth factor in the base year emissions flies must be set for each
pollutant and for each projection year.
Editing Imported Data
Values for RE and CE are contained in the base year emissions file, AMS files also
contain RP. The MPS uses these pieces of information, base year emissions, and growth
data to project future emissions. Prior to calculating projected emissions, the user must
provide projected values for CE, RE, and RP. The user must also provide any growth factor
data that was not present in the imported E-GAS files. These values can be modified for
subsequent runs. This editing capability is useful if, for example, you wanted to analyze
the effect of various proposed control strategies on emission projections.
The buttons in the right part of the PARAMETER MODIFICATION screen allow you to
modify the CE, RE, and RP values that are recorded in the base year emissions files.
These values can be set by clicking on the Set AFS or Set AMS buttons on the right of the
screen. The Set AFS button displays the AFS DATA EDIT screen shown in Figure 16.

2000. The second page contains projected values for 2001 through 2010.
The projected values displayed on the AFS DATA Edit screen are editable. The base
year values cannot be modified. For the system to project emissions properly, the
projected CE, RE, and growth factor must be provided. To edit a projected value, click the
Edit button. The cursor appears in the first editable field (1991 Primary Control
Equipment). Move the cursor by clicking the mouse on a field or pressing Enter or Tab to
move forward one field. Values can also be filled down starting from any projection year
by clicking the Fill Down button and choosing the appropriate year. This copies all
values except growth factor from the selected year to the future projection years. When
done editing, click the Save button to save the changes to the current record. You should
save changes before moving to the next record. Whenever a record is saved or the fill
down function is used, the data will be checked to ensure that valid data is entered. A
series of messages may appear to explain any changes needed. The data will not be saved
until it is complete and valid. Edit mode will remain active until the data is saved or
until you return to the PARAMETER MODIFICATION screen. To move between records, use the
row of VCR buttons at the bottom of the AFS Data EDIT screen. The VCR buttons are
disabled while in edit mode. The Apply Globally by SCC button in the upper right of
the EDIT screen will apply all projected values in the current record to all records with the
same Category Code and Pollutant. The Apply Globally by Plant button will apply all
projected values in the current record to all records with the same State Code, County
Code, Plant ID, and Pollutant. When all necessary changes have been made, click the
Return to Calc button to return to the PARAMETER MODIFICATION screen. If the current
record has been modified and not saved, the user will be prompted to save or discard
changes.
Adding New Sources
Clicking on the New Source button will prompt the user for base year emissions
to be used for projections. If no controls are present in the file for the base year, enter
uncontrolled emissions. The system will only accept input if the base year emissions
method code is "6", the AFS value indicating a new source. All growth factors are set to
zero for the new source. When the projected growth factor is zero, emissions projected for
the year will be zero. Enter the appropriate growth factors in the projection years after
the source is to begin operation.

-------
When the Calculate button on the PARAMETER MODIFICATION screen is clicked, the
screen shown in Figure 19 will appear. In order to understand the options
presented on this screen, you should be aware that each time the MPS calculates future
emissions it writes the values into a particular data base file, referred to as the output file
(see Figure 2). The MPS reports and graphs are based on the data in this file.
New Versus Append
If you want to combine the results of the current calculation with the data
generated by the previous one, click the Append button. The MPS will then calculate the
projected values and append them to the data currently in the output file.
If you want only the new results to be placed in an output file, click the New
button. A dialog box will warn you that data currently in the output file will be over-
written. If you click Yes, the results of the current run will be written into the output
file. To save the data currently in the output file before writing the new data, cancel the
dialog box and use the Export File button as described below.
Depending on the size of the input files, the calculation of projected emissions may
take several minutes. While the computer is making these calculations and writing them
into the data base file, a message is displayed in the center of the screen and on the
screen title bar which reads "Calculating." When the calculations are complete, the
computer beeps, the screen title bar changes to read "Calculation Done," and the next
screen is displayed. The MPS window can be minimized during the calculations
procedure (or any other time) so that you can work with other software.
Exporting Projected Data in EPS Format
Clicking the Export Point Sources button allows the export of projected point
source emissions as text files in the EPS format. The user must select the projected year
for output and provide a file name for the text file when prompted. The exported files will
contain all projected data used by MPS. The record identifiers (State Code, County Code,
Plant ID, etc.) are included in each record. The projected emissions and the projected
control values are also in each record. The files can be imported into EPS as the base
year file, keeping in mind that the MPS was designed to project emissions with 1990 as
the base year. Growth factors must be provided relative to the "new" base year. When
imported, the "new" base year data will be contained in the 1990 base year fields.
Files for area and mobile sources can be created by clicking the Export Area and
Mobile button. The procedure is identical to the point source export. The output file
contains record identifiers, projected emissions, and control values. The activity level and
activity level units provided in these files is the 1990 base year data.
Exporting Data Base Files
Data contained in the output file can be exported to Lotus, DBase3, or Excel. The
output file is defined as follows. One record exists for each point in the output file (the
output file is written to when the screen title bar reads "Calculating"). Each record
consists of fields for PNED (which is a point identifier), SCC, nonattainment area, county,
27
-------
State, pollutant, base year emissions, and emissions for each year from 1991 to 2010.
Some of the fields for projected emissions may be empty, unless all of these were chosen
from the PROJECTION Year screen for the last calculation.
To export a file, click the Export File button in the lower right part of the OUTPUT
FILE Options screen shown in Figure 19, A dialog box will prompt you for a name for the
exported file. Be sure to use the appropriate extension: Lotus files have the .wks
extension, DBase files have the .dbf extension, and Excel files have the ,xls extension.
When the export is complete, the screen title bar reads "Export Done."

Figure 20. The Batch Parameter Modification Screen
When the Batch button is clicked on the START screen, the program moves to the
BATCH Parameter Modification screen, shown in Figure 20. This screen is similar to the
Parameter Modification screen with the addition of buttons for batch operations.
Operations available include creating a batch criteria set, browsing the current batch file,
browsing the criteria sets of batches that have run, and running current batches.
29
-------
CREATING CRITERIA SETS
When the Create button is clicked, if all parameters have not been set, you will be
prompted to set them and screens for selection will be opened. This will be similar to the
interactive mode of operation. The order of entry will be geographic coverage, AIRS file
type, import file selection, pollutant, projection years, and SCCs. Files will be imported
during the batch creation process if import files are selected. Clicking the Reset
Parameters button will open the screen shown in Figure 21. The parameters can be
reset as in the interactive mode. This is covered in the Altering Run Specifications
section of the Interactive Mode chapter. After all parameters are set, projected control
values can be edited in the emissions files by clicking the Edit Factors button. This
opens the screen shown in Figure 22. Projected values can then be set as in the
interactive mode. This is explained in the Editing Imported Data section of the
Interactive Mode chapter. Note that if the current file option was chosen, the previous
projected values remain in effect. Clicking the Create button after all parameters have
been set will open a dialog box requesting a file name for output and a dialog box for the
entry of any comments up to 50 characters. Once a criteria set has been entered, any of
the parameters can be reset and additional criteria sets can be created. All parameters
not specifically reset will remain unchanged.

BROWSING COMPLETED CRITERIA SETS
After a batch completes, the criteria sets can be viewed by clicking the Browse
Done button. The display is similar to the current batch display in Figure 23 with the
addition of one button. Two delete options are available. The Delete button deletes the
criteria set information and all associated data files. If you wish to remove the data files
to free up disk space, use the Delete Data button. This deletes the associated data but
retains the criteria set information.
BATCH OUTPUT
Output options are available for each file based on the parameters used in its
creation. These options are covered in Chapter 4. When the Output button is clicked,
the user is prompted for the data file name. The file names in the completed batch file
are displayed for selection. If the data have been deleted for the selected file, all
emissions data values will be zero. When the data set is loaded, it replaces the current
data files. Be sure that the current set is saved in the Interactive mode if it will be
needed in the future. When the Batch mode is closed, the data set loaded in Batch output
will be the current data set in the Interactive mode.

the data file contains invalid data, no batch transaction files are created. Error messages
detailing any problems will be written to a text file. The file will have the same name
entered for the data file with the extension ".erl". Subsequent runs with the same file
name will increment the last digit of the extension. When the extension reaches ".er9", any
further runs with the same output file name will overwrite the error file. Rename or move
the error files to save them. The error file will contain record identifiers and the errors
associated with each record. If all data is valid, the batch transaction files will be created.

If you chose Report at the PRESENTATION Format screen, the screen above will be
shown. Clicking the Summary report button causes the report to give only summary data
for each SCC. If Full Report is clicked, the report will show summary data as well as the
emissions (or percent reduction) for each record in the output file which satisfies the
criteria defined by the user (e.g., pollutant).
The user can click the Tier Category button to generate reports for predefined SCC
groups. These groups are defined according to the three tier scheme used by the Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards. Tier 1 provides the broadest categorization of all
SCCs, Tier 2 is intermediate, and Tier 3 is the narrowest. The placement of specific SCCs
into Tier 1 and Tier 2 categories is the same for all criteria pollutants, whereas placement
into Tier 3 categories depends on the pollutant. Furthermore, some Tier 2 categories have
35
-------
only one subordinate Tier 3 category. Table 1 shows the Tier 2 and Tier 3 NOx categories
for one of the 14 Tier 1 categories, "Fuel Combustion - Electric Utilities."

4 Other
5 Internal Combustion
When the Tier Category button is clicked, the user is prompted to choose the tier
level for which a report is desired. The user can then choose the tier category for which a
report is desired by responding to the dialog boxes that are presented. For example, if a
report on NO„ emissions from utility natural gas boilers is desired, the user must do the
following. Turn on the Tier 3 radio button when prompted to choose the tier level, because
natural gas boilers is a Tier 3 category. Since Tier 3 categories are subsets of Tier 2
categories, and Tier 2 categories are likewise subsets of one of the 14 Tier 1 categories, the
user must choose the Tier 1 and Tier 2 categories for which natural gas boilers is a subset.
When prompted to choose a Tier 1 category, "FUEL COMBUSTION - ELECTRIC
UTILITIES" should be chosen. "Gas" should be selected when prompted for the Tier 2
category. Choose "natural" when prompted for the Tier 3 category.
Up to five tier category reports can be generated at once. Therefore, the "Choose
Tier level" dialog box has a second heading which indicates the grouping number. After the
tier category for the first report is chosen, as in the example above, the "Choose Tier level"
dialog box will be presented again, this time with "Grouping #2" printed at the top. If a
report for another tier category is desired, the appropriate items should be selected from
the dialog boxes. If only one report is needed, the "Choose Tier level" dialog box for
"Grouping #2" should be canceled.

Figure 28. Screen View of a Report
In most cases when sending a report to the screen, all of the report will not be
visible at once. The report will only display or print those years that were selected for
projection. When reports are longer than the screen is, the MPS will fill the screen and
then pause the report. Pressing the space bar causes the report to scroll down one page at
a time. When the last part of the report has been scrolled onto the screen, pressing the
space bar will close the report and display the OUTPUT Data FORMAT screen. Scrolling back
to any data that has already scrolled off of the screen is not possible. However, it can be
reviewed by regenerating the same report. This can be accomplished by selecting Report
from the PRESENTATION Format screen, selecting the same report format button as before,
and selecting the Screen button from the OUTPUT DEVICE screen.

Figure 29. The Graph Format Screen
The GRAPH Format screen is shown in Figure 29. The Total button will generate a
line graph showing total emissions or percent change in total emissions between 1990 and
2010. If output data have been developed in the batch mode and have not been deleted, the
user will be prompted to select an output file for comparison. This feature allows two
scenarios to be compared on the same graph. Thus, the effect of changes in particular
assumptions about future CE, RE, HP, and growth can be analyzed. If emissions are
chosen as the output, the user will be prompted to enter target emission values for the
projection year(s) selected earlier.
39
-------
The Point, Area, and Mobile (P.A.M.) line graph plots the emissions or percent
change of all point, area, and mobile sources in the selected geographic region. In addition
to the line graph, point, area, and mobile source emissions can be compared with a pie
graph. A dialog box prompts the user to choose a year for comparison. An example P.A.M.
pie graph is shown in Figure 30. The P.A.M. pie graph button is not available if "percent"
is the chosen output data format.

Data can be graphed (line graphs only) by tier category by choosing the Tier
Category button on the Graph Format screen. Tier Categories are specified just as they
are for the Tier Category reports. Because some tier category designations are particularly
long, (e.g., "OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS - Wood, Pulp & Paper, & Publishing
Products - sulfate pulping: recovery furnace/evaporator"), the legend for the line graph may
include only the category number rather than the name for the Tier 3 designation (e.g.,
"OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS - Wood, Pulp & Paper, & Publishing Products - 01").
40
-------
If specific SCCs were selected for the current projections, the output graph options
are SCO line graph and SCO pie graph. The line graph displays projected emissions by
SCO for each projected year. The pie graph displays the percentage contribution to
emissions by each SCO in a selected projection year.
VIEWING GRAPHS
When a graph is drawn to the screen, four buttons are presented at the bottom of
the graph window. The Printer Setup button allows the printer status to be checked
before printing. If the printer is not set up correctly, the Windows Control Panel should be
used to change it. The Print Graph button prints the current graph on the currently
selected printer. When the graph window is visible, it is necessary to minimize the graph
window and the underlying window to reduce the program to an icon. To return to the
program, the program icon must be double clicked and then the Show Graph button must
be clicked. The Return button closes the graph and opens the PRESENTATION FORMAT screen.
The minus sign icon in the upper left of the window allows selection of the Copy to
Clipboard option, which places a copy of the graph in the Windows Clipboard.

CHAPTERS
UPDATING TIER FILES
MPS can generate graphs and reports of emissions by tier categories, (Tier
categories are explained in detail in Chapter 4 in the Report Type section.) As released,
MPS produces tier category reports and graphs based on the data in 'TIERV 1_5 .DBF,' a
dBase file posted on the Technology Transfer Network (TTN). This file assigns all SCCs
to tier categories. It is subject to occasional revision to include new SCCs or to reassign
SCCs to new categories. The tier files in MPS will need to be updated whenever
TIERV .DBF is revised.
The Update Tier Files button on the START screen enables the user to update the
tier files in MPS with the data in future versions of TIERV .DBF. When this button is
clicked, the user will be prompted to select the new TIER .DBF file. [The file should
already be downloaded from the TTN's Clearinghouse for Inventories and Emission
Factors (CHIEF) Bulletin Board and 'unzipped' if necessary.] When the file is selected,
the update process begins. Updating requires several minutes. When the update is
complete, the START screen will be redisplayed.
42
-------
APPENDIX A - REQUIRED INPUT DATA FILES
The MPS requires two input data files for AFS runs or AMS runs. They are
described below along with their sources. The current data files are simply for
demonstration. They will be updated as actual data becomes available from the AFS,
AMS, and E-GAS system. Each of these files must be in ASCII fixed length format and
must have an ",AFS" extension for AIRS Facility Subsystem data or an ".AMS" extension
for AIRS Area and Mobile Source Subsystem. They should be copied onto the hard disk
drive. The directory from which each file is retrieved can be independently specified from
within the MPS.
AFS BASE YEAR DATA FILES
There are two options for retrieving AFS base year data. Data can be retrieved as
a flat ASCII text file using an ad hoc report or in the EPS format using a fixed format
report.
AFS Ad Hoc Data Retrieval
The following data selection criteria and output format must be used. The
resulting file is a set of point level records for the selected geographical area. The data
are retrieved using a quick look report. These data elements must be updated as new
data elements are added to AFS.

PROJECTED GROWTH FACTOR FILE
The MPS will import files in the E-GAS format. Files must be provided with data
for all geographic areas and SCCs that will be used in the projection. Data must be
provided for every year from 1991 through 2010. Demo files are provided with the
package. The files do not contain actual data and are only for demonstration purposes.
Each record in the growth factor file contains a state code, a county code, a category
code, and the growth factors. Valid SCCs are 8 digits for AFS runs and 10 digits for
AMS. Valid growth factor values are 0 to 9.9999.
47
-------
E-GAS OUTPUT TEXT FILE FORMAT
Up to seven files are created by E-GAS. They should be placed in one directory.
Select the com_fuel.scc file when prompted for E-GAS growth factor files. The MPS will
locate all other E-GAS files in the same directoiy. An actual E-GAS file format with
header is shown below. It is followed by a table indicating the format of the data that is
imported for use by the MPS. One row of data is shown below the header. If no E-GAS
files are available, create an empty ASCII text file. Name the file COM_FUEL.SCC and
select it during import file selection. All growth factors will be set to 1.00. It is then the
user's responsibility to edit the projected values and provide all necessary growth factors.

APPENDIX B - INSTALLATION
The procedures below should be used to copy the MPS to your computer. The C:
drive is used as an example, but the MPS can be installed on any drive from C to Z.
1. Create a subdirectory named MPS on your C: drive. C:\MPS\
2. Copy the TESTDATA directory and files to C:\MPS\. Use the program PKUNZIP to
unzip all three MPS files into the C:\MPS \ directory. One way to accomplish this is
to copy the MPS zipped files and PKUNZIP.EXE into the C:\MPS\ directory and
then execute PKUNZIP (from the C:\MPS\> DOS prompt) for each zipped file. You
may remove the .ZIP files and PKUNZIP from the directory after this step is
complete. PKUNZIP is available on the TTN bulletin board.
3. Access the "Windows Program Manager.
4. Select a group window in which to place the MPS icon.
5. Select File from the menu bar.
6. Select the New command on the File menu.
7. Click the Program Item radio button, then click OK
8. Type MPS in the Description box.
9. Type C:\MPS\SBRTS.EXE in the Command Line box.
10. Click the Change Icon button.
11. Type C:\MPS\MPS_ICON.ICO in the File Name box, click OK, select an icon,
and click OK,
12. Click OK.

APPENDIX C - SELECTING DEMONSTRATION FILES
All demonstration files are for test purposes only. They do not represent the real
emissions for any area, Upon installation, the data are contained in ASCII text files,
which must be imported. Run the program in the Interactive mode. Select State
geographic coverage and the state 99 XX to use these files. Select Both on the AIRS File
Type screen. To import the files, click Select Files when the SELECT Import Files screen
is displayed, click AdHoc file format, and then select file names as indicated below. The
files contain only data for VOC. Select VOC when the POLLUTANT screen is displayed. Use
of the current files during subsequent runs will save time when demonstrating and
testing the system.
