Instructions for Submitting Data Corrections 

Introduction

EPA seeks comments on hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and other model input data 

that we used to assess risks from selected industrial major source categories, as required by 

section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act. The source of this information is the most recent version of 

the 2005 National Emissions Inventory (2005 NEI), updated with data collected by EPA’s Office 

of Air Quality Planning and Standards. For more information about the 2005 National Emissions 

Inventory (NEI), please go to: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2005inventory.html.1

 

The Microsoft Access file will enable you to review and suggest revisions to HAP emissions and 

other descriptive information associated with all facilities in a single Maximum Achievable 

Control Technology (MACT) category. Instructions for using this file to review the data, revise 

the data, and submit revisions to EPA are outlined below. Section 6 lists specific steps for 

submitting your final changes to the EPA. Section 7 of this document defines important terms 

(e.g., MACT, SIC, SCC, etc.) and all data elements found in this file. The complete outline for 

this document is listed below:

7. Term Definitions

Please note that the category-specific files contain all emissions data for the facilities identified 

as belonging to a MACT category. Thus, some of the emissions may be from processes NOT 

associated with the MACT category of interest. The column labeled “MACT Code” indicates if 

the HAP pollutant emissions are associated with the MACT category of interest or another 

MACT category at the facility. For example, if the MACT code is labeled 0107-2, the emissions 

are described as being associated with “Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Boilers & Process 

Heaters – gas.” These are shown to provide a complete dataset for the facility and/or to help the 

reviewer spot additional processes which should be assigned to the MACT category. 

1. Application Overview

When this Microsoft Access file opens you are presented with a “Main Page” containing five 

buttons: 

1. View Summary Data

2. Revise Data

3. Review Revisions

4. Submit Revisions

5. Exit Database

After reading these instructions, you should select the “View Summary Data” button to view 

summary data before making revisions or adding any facilities to this file. After reviewing the 

current data for your MACT category, you can proceed to the “Revise Data” forms. After 

making corrections to this file, you should review your corrections and then submit your 

revisions to EPA as outlined on the “Submit Revisions” form. 
01/31/11 3

2. View Summary Data

After selecting and clicking the “View Summary Data” button, the form displays national level 

summary data for all pollutants associated with the MACT category of interest. You can sort the 

columns in ascending or descending order if you wish to see the highest or lowest emissions 

and/or if you want to sort by pollutant name alphabetically. This form also provides buttons that 

allow you to change the aggregation level (“Options”) of the data and/or filter by pollutant 

(“Filter Data”). 

a. Options – These buttons allow you to view summary data at varying levels of detail. 

When you click these buttons, new forms open with data level and filter buttons 

appropriate to the dataset displayed. These buttons and their accompanying forms are 

as follows: 

i. MACT HAP Emissions (View National Data Form) – Discussed 

above, this form displays national level summary data for all pollutants 

associated with the MACT category of interest. This is the default 

form that opens when you select “View Summary Data” on the “Main 

Page.” 

ii. State County MACT Emissions (View State, County, MACT, 

HAP, and Emissions Data Form) – All emissions for the MACT 

category are shown at the county – pollutant level. This form would 

allow you, for example, to find your county and view total emissions 

by pollutant from the MACT category. After viewing emissions at the 

county level, you might want to view all facilities in the county to 

determine where high (or low) emissions values for a given pollutant 

are originating. To do this, proceed to the Facility MACT HAP 

Emissions data level. 

iii. Facility MACT HAP Emissions (View Facility, MACT, HAP, and 

Emissions Data Form) – Total emissions by pollutant are shown for 
01/31/11 4

all processes at all facilities assigned to this MACT category. The 

column labeled “MACT Code” indicates if the HAP pollutant 

emissions are associated with the MACT category or another MACT 

category at the facility. For example, if the MACT code is labeled 

0107-2, the emissions are described as being associated with 

“Industrial/Commercial/ Institutional Boilers & Process Heaters – 

gas.” These are shown to provide a complete dataset for the facility 

and/or to help you spot additional processes which should be assigned 

to the MACT category. 

After viewing emissions at the facility level, you might want to view all data 

associated with that facility to make sure that latitude/longitudes, stack 

parameters, Source Classification Codes (SCC), Standard Industrial Classification 

(SIC) codes, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, and 

other descriptive information are correct. To view this information, select the “All 

Data” button. 

iv. All Data (View All Data Form) – Detailed records are shown for all 

facilities included in this MACT category. This detail includes process 

level HAP emissions, SCCs, stack parameters, latitude/longitudes and 

address information. 

b. Filter Data – These buttons allow you to filter the current dataset by different 

attributes. The available filters change depending upon the detail level of the 

displayed data (e.g., the county level filter is not available on the national level 

summary form, but is available at the State County MACT level). You can choose 

one filter after another to progressively narrow down the data to records of interest. 

For example, on the State County MACT Emissions level, you can filter by state and 

then by pollutant. The filters available on each data level are: 
01/31/11 5

 National Data – Pollutant filter. 

 State County MACT Emissions – Pollutant, state, and county filters. 

 Facility MACT HAP Emissions – Facility, pollutant, state, county, and 

MACT code filters. 

 All Data – Facility, pollutant, state, county, and MACT code filters. 

Filters can be removed by clicking the “Remove Filter” Button. Clicking “Remove 

Filter” removes all filters applied and returns the dataset to its original form. 

After viewing emissions at the facility level, proceed to “Revise Data” on the “Main 

Page” if there any omissions or errors that need correction. 

3. Revise Data

When you select “Revise Data” the “Reviewer Information” form first opens. You must 

complete this form before continuing. This form collects contact information on the reviewer: 

 Name 

 Organization 

 Phone Number 

 Email Address 

Please note: If you suggest changes to or add emissions values you will need to provide 

additional documentation for these emission revisions to the docket. (See Section 6 for more 

information.) 

The “Reviewer Information” form will appear every time you return to the revised data forms, 

however, your contact information will be saved in the drop down list and you can readily select 

your email address from the list. The “Facility Selection” form opens and allows the user to 

select a facility for revision. The name of the facility and address information are shown in the 

selection list as multiple facilities may have similar names. At this point, you can select one of 

five actions: “Revise Data for Selected Facility,” “Add a Facility,” “Add Data to an Existing 
01/31/11 6

Facility,” “Export Facility Data to an Excel File,” or “Back to Main.” The “Add a Facility” 

button is discussed in Section 4; the rest are described below. 

Revise Data for Selected Facility – Selecting this button opens a form which allows you 

to select the specific data attributes to be revised. These attributes are: 

a. Revise Emissions Fields – Selecting this option brings up data fields relevant 

to the emissions value. Fields that can be revised here are: start date, end date, 

routine emissions (tons per year), pollutant code, and HAP performance level. 

If an emissions value is changed, the start date, end date, HAP performance 

level, control measure information, and emissions calculation method code 

must be updated as well. Because EPA is modeling both short- and long-term 

risks, you are also asked to indicate the routine emissions maximum hourly 

rate (in lbs per hour), as well as startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) 

annual and maximum hourly emissions (and use the comment field to indicate 

number of SSM occurrences). For EPA to better understand current control 

measures that are in operation, we are requesting that reviewers indicate the 

type of control measure associated with each unit. You can indicate if the 

process is controlled (check box for Yes), select a control measure from the 

drop down list, and provide additional information in the comment field. If the 

control measure information is not provided, the emission process will be 

considered uncontrolled. You can also indicate that the HAP emissions value 

should be deleted, and provide a reason for this deletion. Please note that you 

can only enter data into the revision fields. The remaining fields are locked. 

When you are finished making your changes, select “Save Records” at the 

bottom of the form to save your revisions and move to another form. 

Please note: If you suggest changes to or add emissions values, you will need 

to provide additional documentation for these emission revisions. (See Section 

6 for more information.) 
01/31/11 7

b. Revise Stack Fields – Selecting this option brings up data fields relevant to 

the emissions release point. Fields that can be revised here are stack height, 

stack diameter, stack temperature, exit gas velocity, exit gas flow rate, the 

emission release point type (stack vs. fugitive), fugitive length, fugitive width, 

fugitive angle, latitude and longitude, and North American Datum. You can 

also enter a general comment on the revision. Please note that you can only 

enter data into the revision fields. The remaining fields are locked. When you 

are finished making your changes, select “Save Records.” 

c. Revise Process Fields – Selecting this option brings up data fields relevant to 

the process. Fields that can be revised here are MACT code and SCC. You 

can also enter a general comment on the revision. You only enter data into the 

revision fields. The remaining fields are locked. When you are finished 

making your changes, select “Save Records.” 

d. Revise Facility Information – Selecting this option brings up data fields that 

describe the facility. Fields that can be revised here are: tribal code, county 

name, facility registry identifier, facility category code (major or area), facility 

name, location address, city, state, and zip code. You can also enter a general 

comment on the revision, indicate that the facility should be removed from the 

NEI if it has permanently closed and when it closed, or indicate the facility 

should be removed from the MACT category. Please note that you can only 

enter data into the revision fields. The remaining fields are locked. When you 

are finished making your changes, select “Save Records.” 

e. No Revisions – Select this button to indicate you have reviewed the facility 

data and have no revisions. You cannot select this button if you have made 

revisions to the facility. After you make this selection, you will not be able to 

make revisions to the facility data. 
01/31/11 8

Add Data to an Existing Facility – Selecting the “Add Data to an Existing Facility” 

button opens a form which shows all the current HAP emissions for the selected facility. 

You should scroll to the last row to enter any missing pollutant data. All data fields 

should be filled in. In addition to providing additional annual emission estimates, you are 

also asked to indicate the routine emissions maximum hourly rate (in lbs per hour), as 

well as startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) annual and maximum hourly 

emissions (and use the comment field to indicate number of SSM occurrences). You can 

select “RTR11,” Risk and Technology Review 2011 as the data source. When you are 

finished making your changes, select “Save Records.” 

Export Facility Data to an Excel File – Selecting this option allows you to export the 

facility data to an Excel file if it facilitates your review of the original NEI facility and 

emissions data. After clicking this button, you will be asked to which local directory2 you 

would like to save the file. If you select this option after making revisions, your revised 

records will be included. 

Other Options – You also have the option of selecting a different facility, returning to the 

Main Page, reviewing your changes, or preparing the file to submit your changes to EPA.

and associated descriptive facility and emission release point information. This information 

includes: tribal code; county name; facility category code (major or area); facility name; location 

address city, state, and zip code; SIC code; NAICS code; SCC; MACT code; pollutant; routine, 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) emissions values and rates (and number of SSM 

occurrences); stack parameters; and latitude/longitude. The reviewer should also enter one set of 

appropriate identifiers: facility registry identifier, unit ID, process ID, and emission release point 

ID. Required fields are noted. If you add emissions for a process that is not associated with the 

MACT category, please select the appropriate MACT code (from the drop down list) or indicate 

that it is not a MACT-associated process. When you are finished making your changes, select 

“Save Records.” To create additional emission unit, process, and HAP emissions records, now 

select “Add Data to an Existing Facility” and continue with your data entry. 

5. Review Revisions

When you open the “Review Revisions” form, you can export your suggested revisions to 

Microsoft Excel so that you can print and review them. This form contains five buttons: 

1. View Emissions Revisions; 

2. View Facility Revisions; 

3. Export Revisions to Excel File; 

4. Submit Revisions; and 

5. Back to Main 

After selecting options 1 or 2, the corresponding form will open which will display the selected 

revisions. The Emissions Revisions form contains all additions and revisions entered under the 

Revise Emissions Fields, Revise Process Fields, and Revise Stack Fields forms as described 

above. The Facility Revisions form contains all additions and revisions entered under “Revise 

Facility Information” form. You can export these revisions by clicking the “Export Revisions to 
01/31/11 10

would like to save the file. The selected revisions will then be exported to a Microsoft Excel 

spreadsheet. 

You should print out these spreadsheets, review them, and make corrections as necessary. To 

make corrections, return to the appropriate revision form (as described under Revise Data). Any 

previously revised data will appear in the revise data forms. 

6. Submit Revisions

Upon completion of all additions and corrections, or acceptance of the data with no revisions, 

you need to submit your corrections to EPA. First, create a new file containing just the changes. 

To do so, select the “Submit Revisions” button found on the “Main Page” and on the revision 

and review summary data forms. Clicking the “Create Revisions File” button will create a 

spreadsheet file that contains the reviewer’s changes. The file will be assigned a name using the 

following convention: XXXX_Revisions_LastName.xls, where XXXX = 4-6 digit MACT code 

and LastName = reviewer’s last name. You will be prompted to save the new file to a local 

directory of your choice. In addition to submitting the spreadsheet file to the docket, if you 

corrected or added emissions values, you should prepare supporting documentation. This can 

include source test reports, permit information and/or computational information such as 

emission factors and activity data (throughput). The spreadsheet and supporting documentation 

must be submitted manually to one of the addresses listed in the next paragraph.
