The National Emissions Inventory (NEI)Sally Dombrowski
EPA-OAQPS
What is the NEI?
• EPA’s compilation of estimates of air pollutants
discharged on an annual basis and their sources.
• Compilation includes emission estimates submitted by
tribal, state, and local air pollution control agencies
• Estimates calculated by EPA, and emissions obtained
from other sources
2
EIS and the NEI• Emissions Inventory System (EIS)
• Data repository for air emissions data used to create NEI
• Contains state, local, tribal and EPA-submitted data• Can be multiple emissions values for the same
unit/process• Annual, monthly, daily data• Data available via password-protected web site
• EIS Gateway https://eis.epa.gov/eis-system-web/welcome.html
3
EIS and the NEI (cont.)
• National Emissions Inventory (NEI)• Snapshot in time from EIS• Inventory version shared with the public• One emissions value per process selected• Annual emissions values
4
How is the NEI created? • Your data has priority in our selection
• Only one file format is permitted: xml
• Data must pass QA prior to being submitted to EPA• Only incorrect data is rejected; all remaining
records accepted
• Availability to have multiple values and do several types of NEI selections
• Version done in 6 months or less
5
Who Has Access to the NEI?• Tribal, state and local agency users of EIS Gateway
have access to their data and any National public releases
• States may authorize tribes READ-access-only to their data• This allows you to download data for direct import into
TEISS
• General public has no access to data until data released to public website
6
Uses of the NEI
• NEI is one of key inputs for • Modeling of national rules – NAAQS
reviews, CSAPR, etc• Non-attainment designations• NATA Review – toxics risk modeling• Trends reports and analyses
7
National Emissions Inventory (NEI)
• Created from S/L/T submitted data to Emissions Inventory System (EIS)
• General Public Release (GPR)• Separate Public Website

Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) Rule
Reporting Requirement
• Air Emissions Reporting Rule (AERR) http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/aerr/ • Complete criteria pollutant inventory every 3 years
• All point sources (100 tpy potential to emit threshold)• Nonpoint sources• Onroad and Nonroad sources• Events (wildfires and prescribed fires)• 2011 emissions due 12/31/2012; EIS window opens 6/1/2012
11
Reporting Requirement (cont.)
• Annual reporting for type A point source facilities
• SO2, NOx, CO with potential to emit > 2,500 tpy• VOC, PM, NH3 with potential to emit > 250 tpy• Pb with potential to emit > 5 tpy (to be amended to agree
with Lead NAAQS level of > 0.5 tpy)
• HAPs submitted voluntarily by many S/L/Ts, encouraged as part of an integrated report
12
Annual Three-Year
Pollutant Major Type A Type B Nonattainment Areas
SOx >2500 >100 >100
VOC >250 O3 Moderate >100
VOC O3 Serious >50
VOC O3 Severe >25
VOC O3 Extreme >10
NOx >2500 >100 >100
CO >2500 >1000 O3 (All areas) >100
CO CO (All areas) >100
7439921 (Lead) >5 >5
PM10 >250 >100 PM10 Moderate >100
PM10 PM10 Serious >100
PM2.5 >250 >100 >100
NH3 >250 >100 >100
What is a Major Source?
13
Reporting Changes in AERR
• 40 CFR 70 definition of major source now used for point source reporting• Potential to emit, not actual
• AERR requires emission reports within 12 months from end of inventory
• No biogenic emissions requirement
14
Reporting Changes in AERR (cont.)
• Model inputs in lieu of emissions are preferred
• Summer day emissions of VOC and NOx for ozone nonattainment areas only
• Winter work weekday emissions of CO required for nonattainment areas and areas with maintenance plans
15
Reporting Changes in AERR (cont.)
• Particulate Matter• Reporting of PM primary (sum of filterable and
condensible components) required under CERR
• Reporting of filterable and condensible components is a new requirement in AERR
• We added component-reporting requirement to help us understand what was being reported as PM primary
• New QA check• Report PM2.5; must report PM10
16
What are the Reporting Cycles?
• Every-Year Cycle Reporting• Annual emissions from Type A (large) point
sources. If one pollutant qualifies source as Type A,
all pollutants must be reported
• Ozone season and summer day emissions of NOx
from sources controlled to meet TIP Call
requirements
17
What are the Reporting Cycles?
• Three-Year Cycle Reporting• Annual emissions of criteria pollutants from all
sources
• Ozone season and summer day emissions of NOx from all sources
• Summer day emissions of NOx and VOC for ozone nonattainment areas
• Winter work week day emissions of CO for nonattainment areas and attainment areas with maintenance plans 18
Which pollutants need to be reported?
• Tribes should report emissions of the following pollutants• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
• PM2.5 (Filterable, Condensable and Primary)
• PM10 (Filterable, Condensable and Primary)
• Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)• Lead (7439921)
• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
• Ammonia (NH3)19
Will point source reporting for lead be changed?
• Lead NAAQS final rulemaking promulgated on October 15, 2008; changed Lead emission inventory point source threshold from 5 tons/year to 0.5 tons/year
• We intend to revise 5 tons/year threshold for Lead point sources in AERR to help identify potential for Lead point-source problems in attainment/unclassifiable areas under Lead NAAQS 20
What About HAPs and GHGs?
• Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) reporting not required, but we encourage tribes to submit them on voluntary basis using requirements of AERR
• Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) reporting not required under AERR• GHG pollutants accepted in EIS

Overview of the Tribal New Source Review (NSR) Rule
New Source Review• Final effective August 30, 2011• Establishes cost-effective preconstruction
permitting program for • New or modified minor sources• Minor modifications at major sources• New major sources or major modifications in
nonattainment areas
• Permitting mechanism for major sources to limit emissions to become synthetic minors*
• Allowing administration of program by tribes through delegation to EPA
24
Major NSR Rule
• New major sources• Based on source’s PTE• Nonattainment areas – 100 tpy of any pollutant• Attainment areas – 100 or 250 tpy depending on
source type• Modifications to existing major sources
• Physical change in or change in method• Increase in net emissions resulting from change
must be significant
25
Minor NSR Rule• Applies to
• New and modified minor sources
• Minor modifications at major sources
• Must obtain permit prior to construction
• Minor sources with potential to emit (PTE) equal to or greater than minor NSR thresholds
• Modifications at minor sources with allowable emissions increase equal to or greater than minor NSR thresholds
26
Major/Minor NSR Rule
• At discretion of reviewing authority• Must install and operate control technology
• Required to submit air quality impact analyses as part of permit applications
• Assess impacts on national parks & wilderness areas
• Allow for opportunities for public involvement
