The Air Facility System (AFS) contains compliance and permit data for stationary sources regulated by the U.S. EPA and state and local air pollution agencies. AFS is used by some state and local government agencies to track permit data. For further information regarding the air permitting program, visit EPA's Air Permits page. This information is used by the states to prepare State Implementation Plans (SIPs) and to track the compliance status of point sources with various regulatory programs under the Clean Air Act. Tracking of emissions inventories has been moved to the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) database. This site is designed to keep users of the system apprised of new developments. AFS was once a part of AIRS, hence the historical utilization of that term may be incorporated within referenced documentation.

AFS data is also visible in EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) Web site. This tool provides the public with compliance, permit, and demographic data from approximately 800,000 facilities regulated under the Clean Air Act stationary source program, the Clean Water Act direct discharge program and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste facilities with violations. Integrated reports present inspections, violations, enforcement actions, penalties, and locate facilities on demographic maps.

EPA's Envirofacts Data Warehouse also contains the AFS data.

If you are a user of AFS and need technical assistance, call the contractor-run AFS helpline at 1-800-367-1044, or send an email to afshelp@trcsolution.com.
