Procedures For Civilian Airports & Air Force Bases1. Commonly referred to as the “Air Quality Handbook”
this 210-page document is a comprehensive, yet practical, guide for preparing and conducting appropriate
air quality analyses for airports and airbases.
Since the Air Quality Handbook was published in 1997, changes or advancements have been made to a
number of the policies, guidelines and methods used to conduct air quality assessment of FAA actions and
projects at airports. In other cases additional information is now available or alternative approaches and
methods have been developed.
The purpose of this Addendum is to identify where these changes, advancements and improvements to the
1997 Handbook have occurred. Wherever appropriate, these revisions are discussed in this Addendum
and, if considered helpful, supplemental information is also provided.
Obtainable through the FAA Office of Environment & Energy, the Air Quality Handbook includes thorough
explanations of the airport air quality assessment process, guidance for determining when an assessment
is required and detailed descriptions of the various assessment methods available2. These methods
include emission inventories of airport sources and the dispersion modeling of these emissions – also
known as a “NAAQS” assessment. Other relevant topics covered in the Handbook include the General and
Transportation Conformity requirements of the CAA; air quality mitigation and emission reduction
measures; commonly used terms and references; and an assembly of technical approaches to estimating
airport-related air emissions.
Use of the Addendum
As stated above, because much of the Handbook is still applicable and up to date, the vast majority of the
1997 material has not been revised, redrafted or republished in this Addendum. Rather, it is the aim of FAA
that this Addendum be used in tandem with the 1997 Handbook to obtain a total and up-to-date
compendium of the relevant air quality assessment guidelines.
For ease in identifying those sections of the Handbook that have been updated, revised or otherwise
addressed by this Addendum, a Quick Lookup Guide is first provided. This Quick Lookup Guide is
consistent with the Table of Contents of the Handbook and can be reviewed in a glance to determine if the
Addendum contains any additional information - by section or topic.
The Addendum itself is also arranged following the same outline and format as the Handbook. Specifically,
each Section is initially identified by Section No., Section Title and Page No. of the Handbook where the
material is located (e.g. Section 1.1.4 State and/or Local Requirements (p. 6)). This is followed by a brief

Environment & Energy, AEE-120 and the United States Air Force, Armstrong Laboratory, Tyndall AFB, prepared by EEA Inc. and
CSSI, Inc., April 1997.

summary statement of the section’s contents or purpose (e.g. Discusses potential for state/local
regulations.)
For those sections where no updates or changes were made to the Handbook, the term “No changes” is
inserted. For those sections whereby this Addendum serves to update, revise or enhance the material
contained in the 1997 Handbook, an explanation is provided. In most cases, this information is complete
and succinct. In other cases, the reader is referred to another document or publication that provides the
appropriate information.
Approach & Methodology
To help restore the Handbook to current standards and conditions, staff of the FAA Office of Environment &
Energy, with the assistance of its contractor – URS Corp., first conducted a thorough and detailed review of
the 1997 document. The intent of this review was to compare the air quality assessment guidelines
contained in the Handbook to the following rules, regulations and guidelines:
FAA Order 1050.1D CHG4, Policies & Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts (June 14,
1999).
FAA Order 5050.4A, Airport Environmental Handbook (October 8, 1985).
42 U.S.C.A. Federal Clean Air Act (Air Pollution Prevention & Control) Sections 7401 to 7671.
40 CFR Parts 51 and 93, Determining Conformity of General Federal Actions to State or Federal
Implementation Plans, Final Rule, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), November 30,
1993.
