etc. Note that all the external files that reference onroad inputs have been removed to save space
and simplify.
S/L agencies must provide documentation for changes. Such documentation should describe
what was changed and why it was changed. If the change involves new data, the documentation
should describe how the data were collected, quality assured, and analyzed. A listing of the
tables with changes and the number of rows per table that have been added or updated would be
extremely helpful for EPA's review. S/L agencies are required to include a text file with this
information. The submission must also include a spreadsheet checklist indicating any new
information. This is described below.
II. DATA FOR REVIEW/SUBMITTAL
Each of the NMIM tables that provide information that can be updated by S/L agencies is
described below. The level of detail and the parameters contained in each table are listed. This
is followed by a comment section indicating the updates that EPA hopes to obtain for each table.
It is not expected that S/L agencies will have updates to all of the files and table fields listed
below
EPA does not claim that the inventories EPA produces will match those done by the S/L
agencies, but does hope to come closer to representing the those inventories than would be done
using only EPA default information.
A. COUNTY
This is a county-level table. It contains:
•	The altitude (high or low) and average barometric pressure of each county;
•	The starting month and day of the ozone season and the ending month and day of the
ozone season (this information is not currently used);
•	Onroad Stage 2 control program information;
•	Natural gas vehicle fractions; and
•	Data source codes for VMT allocation fractions and temperature/relative humidity data.
Comments
This table should be reviewed, and updated as necessary, but in almost all cases, no changes
should be needed to this table.
NOTE: Special instructions for Alaska. The following county Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) codes 201, 232, and 280 have been replaced by county FIPS codes 105, 195,
198, 230, and 275. The NONROAD model has not been updated to include the newer set of
county codes and NMIM produces errors when the new county codes are used. By default, EPA
uses results from the old set of counties and allocates emissions from the three old county codes
to the five new county codes. Table 1 shows the default relationship between the older invalid
county FIPS codes and the new county FIPS codes. EPA will accept a NMIM submittal from
2

-------
Alaska using either the old or new county codes, however, Alaska will not be able to use their
NMIM data submittal to actually run NONROAD or NMIM for all counties if the submittal
includes the new counties. EPA intends to convert all NMIM data submittals to MOVES2014
format for calculation of 2014 calendar year inventories. The MOVES2014 model can accept
data from the new Alaska counties, so Alaska may choose to submit the nonroad data from those
counties in MOVES2014 CDBs, however, they will need to contact EPA staff for assistance.

B. COUNTYYEARMONTHHOUR
This table contains the average hourly temperatures and relative humidity for each month by
county. The hour ID codes used in this table are defined in Table A-l.
Comments
NMIM requires that each county have both hourly average temperatures and hourly relative
humidity values for each month of the year. Default values, based on National Climatic Data
Center (NCDC) data and calculations described below, are provided in the NMIM County
Database (NCD). The default values included in this table represent 2011 data calculated by
EPA. Prior to running NMIM, EPA will update these default data with 2014 data.
EPA is confident that in most cases the default 2014 temperature and humidity values to be
developed for the NCD will be the best values to use in the inventory calculations for each
county. However, EPA recognizes that there are circumstances under which S/L agencies may
have better temperature and humidity information. These circumstances include:
•	The use of local temperature and humidity measurements that are not provided to the
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
•	Physical characteristics of the county (such as sea shores, valleys and sudden changes in
altitude) which make the centroid interpolation methodology used by EPA inappropriate.
3

-------
In these cases, EPA would be happy to incorporate temperature and humidity values submitted
by a S/L agency if it meets the following criteria:
•	Monthly average temperature and relative humidity values are submitted for each hour of
the day for each month of the year for each county. Any change in temperature values
will require a corresponding change in relative humidity.
•	Dew point values have been obtained from the same data sources as the temperature data
submitted.
•	Monthly average hourly temperatures and relative humidity values have been calculated
using the averaging methods described below.
•	Documentation of the data sources and methods used to calculate the average
temperatures and relative humidity values is provided.
New or updated monthly average hourly temperatures and relative humidity submitted by S/L
agencies must be in accordance with the NMIM CountyYearMonthHour database formatting.
C. COUNTYNRFILE
This table contains fields for specifying the file names of external data files containing
county-specific nonroad data.
Comments
S/L agencies may provide data in the appropriate NONROAD external data file format to replace
the default NONROAD model data. The NONROAD external data files which S/L agencies
may provide are: (1) activity rates; (2) seasonal allocations; (3) source populations; (4) growth
indexes; and (5) equipment-specific county allocations. The FileTypelD field in this table
should be filled in with one of the FileTypelD codes listed in Table A-2.
External File Naming Convention
There may be many external data files supplied by S/L agencies, which will need to be stored
along with the NCDs. Since these files will be submitted by different agencies, EPA has
developed a file naming convention to prevent two files submitted by different areas from having
the same name. The NONROAD model requires file names with only eight characters with a
three character file name extension (after the decimal). The file naming convention developed
for NMIM is based on the FIPS state and county codes of the data represented in the file. The
basic file name convention begins with the two digit FIPS state code followed by the three digit
FIPS county code followed in some cases by a nonroad ID code with a three letter code
extension to identify the file type. Table A-3 summarizes the NMIM file naming convention for
external data files named in the CountyNRFile table.
4

-------
External data files that apply to the whole state (rather than individual counties) should start with
the two digit FIPS state code followed by "000". Only a unique set of external data files is
needed. Therefore, for external data files that apply to more than one, but not all, counties in a
state, only a single external file should be submitted. In this case, the three digit FIPS county
code should be filled in with the FIPS county code of one of the counties that use this data file.
However, a record must be added to the CountyNRFile table for EACH county that uses one of
these external data files, but the CountyNRFileName field should then be filled in with the same
file name for each file that uses a single external data file.
D. COUNTYYEAR
This county-level table contains the names of external data files used by the MOBILE6.2 and
NONROAD models. While most of the fields in this table are relevant only to onroad emission
calculations, and therefore, do not need to be updated, the following fields are used by the
NONROAD model and should be reviewed and updated for the 2014 NEI as needed:
•	NONROAD Stage 2 control percentage (Stage2Pct);
•	NONROAD activity files (NRACTFileName);
•	Identifier for nonroad S/L agency inputs (HasNRStatelnputs); and
•	Average hourly temperatures and relative humidity data sources.
Comments
S/L agencies that are providing NONROAD activity files should input the file name of the
corresponding external file, excluding the file extension, in the NRACTFileName field. In
addition to populating or updating this table, S/L agencies also need to provide each of the
external data files referenced in the table that has either been modified from the file provided by
EPA or is a new file. EPA requires S/L agencies to submit new or updated files in the
appropriate NMIM data format with comments (e.g., source of information and year(s) of
applicability), where possible.
Note that the Stage2Pct field refers to the nonroad Stage 2 percentage control efficiency (not
onroad Stage 2) and should be populated with values ranging from 0 to 100, where applicable.
External File Naming Convention
As with the CountyNRFile table, this table includes the names of external data files used by the
S/L agencies. The file naming conventions for the external data files referenced in the
County Year table are similar to those used for the CountyNRFile table. Table A-4 in the
Appendix contains the extensions and file naming convention for the external NONROAD
activity files referenced in the County Year table.
The NONROAD model requires file names with only eight characters with a three character file
name extension (after the decimal). The file naming convention developed for NMIM is based
on the FIPS state and county codes of the data represented in the file. Many files will be valid
5

-------
only for specific calendar years. The file name convention begins with the two digit FIPS state
code followed by the three digit FIPS county code followed by a two digit calendar year with a
three letter code extension to identify the file. The file names input in the NRACTFileName
field of the County Year table should NOT include the file extensions.
External data files that apply to the whole state (rather than individual counties) should start with
the two digit FIPS state code followed by "000". Only a unique set of external data files is
needed. Therefore, for external data files that apply to more than one, but not all, counties in a
state, only a single external file should be submitted. In this case, the three digit FIPS county
code should be filled in with the FIPS county code of one of the counties that use this data file.
However, this external file name must be entered for EACH county that uses this external data
file in the appropriate field of the CountyYear table. Data from a single year may be used for
multiple calendar years without submitting separate files for each year. (EPA is only requesting
2014 data at this time.) In these cases the two calendar year digits should contain the letter "Y"
to indicate that the file may be used for multiple calendar years.
E. COUNTYYEARMONTH
This table maps each county to both onroad and nonroad gasoline, diesel, and natural gas fuel
data for each month.
Comments
The default values included in this table and the corresponding fuel properties in the gasoline,
diesel, and natural gas tables represent 2011 fuel data, as calculated by EPA. Prior to running
NMIM, EPA will update these default data with 2014 data.
NMIM models both criteria pollutants and HAPs simultaneously. Thus, all of the fuel
parameters needed for the toxics are also needed to model the criteria pollutants. S/L agencies
should review the information in this file. If the S/L agency knows that a group of counties
should all receive the same fuel parameters (e.g., if a low RVP program applies to all counties
within a nonattainment area) and the NMIM CountyYearMonth table lists different gasoline IDs
for these counties, the S/L agencies should indicate which counties should receive the same fuel
parameters, and which gasoline ID should apply to these counties.
There are separate gasoline IDs for onroad (HwyGasolineld) and nonroad (NRGasolineld).
Currently, we assume that onroad and nonroad gasoline IDs are identical. Any updates to the
gasoline properties should be done by first replacing both the HwyGasolinelD and
NRGasolinelD in the County YearMonth table with a new ID not yet used in the Gasoline table.
When adding new gasoline IDs, the naming convention is SSNNN, where SS indicates the state
number and NNNN is a unique number chosen by the state. Local agencies should coordinate
with their S/L agency to ensure that any county-specific new gasoline IDs are unique.
A new record should then be added to the Gasoline table with this same new gasoline ID and a
full set of the fuel parameters. EPA will allow S/L agencies to make changes to Reid vapor
pressure (RVP) and sulfur levels. EPA will be more cautious about accepting fuel parameter
changes to the other fuel properties.
6

-------
Currently, the only property of diesel fuel in the NCD is sulfur content. Sulfur content is
specified separately for highway (HwyDieselld), recreational marine equipment (RMDieselld),
and other nonroad equipment (NRDieselld). The table has been designed so that the each of
these diesel IDs is equal to the integer value of the diesel sulfur content in parts per million
(ppm). To change the sulfur value of the diesel fuel, first change the corresponding diesel ID to
the integer value of the diesel sulfur content in ppm. Then check the Diesel table to see if this
value exists. If not, add a record to the Diesel table with this new value.
Currently, the only property of natural gas in the NCD is sulfur content. Any updates to the
natural gas should be done by first replacing NGId in the CountyYearMonth table with a new ID
not yet used in the NaturalGas table. A new record should then be added to the NaturalGas table
with this same new NGId and the sulfur content in ppm.
F.	DIESEL
This table contains the diesel sulfur content for each diesel fuel ID contained in the
County YearMonth file.
Comments
Most S/L agencies will not need to update this file. However, S/L agencies with information on
the diesel fuel sulfur content of diesel fuel sold in their agency that differs from the NMIM
defaults should update this table accordingly. How to update this table is described under
County YearMonth above.
G.	GASOLINE
This table provides all of the gasoline fuel properties for each of the gasoline IDs included in the
County YearMonth file. These are the properties needed for both criteria pollutants and toxics.
If you are also submitting gasoline parameters in the onroad MOVES County Database
input, you do not need to submit revisions to this table in your NCD. The gasoline fuel
properties are used for both onroad and nonroad calculations.
Comments
As indicated above in the County YearMonth section, the properties of the existing gasoline IDs
should not be modified since other S/L agencies may be using the same gasoline ID. Instead, a
new record should be added to the Gasoline table with a new gasoline ID and the appropriate
fuel properties. The County YearMonth table should also be updated at the same time, updating
the gasoline ID for the affected counties. When adding new gasoline IDs to the table, the
naming convention is SSNNNN, where SS indicates the state number and NNNN is a unique
number chosen by the state. Local agencies should coordinate with their S/L agency to ensure
that any county-specific new gasoline IDs are unique.
7

-------
Interpolation Instructions
The purpose of this section is to provide S/L agencies with instructions on how to develop a
complete set of 12 monthly values for one or more of the following gasoline variables when the
agency has less than a full set of monthly values: RVP, Gas Sulfur, Gas Max Sulfur, Aromatic
Content, Olefin Content, Benzene Content, E200, E300, ETOH Volume and ETOH Market
Share. MTBE, ETBE, and TAME are not included in the interpolation procedure because they
are all assumed to be 0. The interpolation procedure requires values for January and July (in
cases where a agency only has a value for one of these months, it would need to rely on EPA's
default value for the other month), and relies on the use of ratios computed from county-month
level RVP values developed by EPA. These ratios are available from the file
"InterpolationRatios.csv" Agencies should apply these ratios in the following equation for the
gasoline variables for which S/L agencies have data:
Varmonth = Varjuly + (VarJanuary " Var July) * RdtiORVP
Where:
VarMonth represents the variable for a county-month;
Var January is the county's value for the variable in January; and
Varjuly is the county's value for the variable in July.
The lone exception to use of the above procedure is ETOH Volume. The procedure for ETOH
Volume also takes the ETOH Market Share into account-interpolated values for this variable are
computed using the following equation:
ETOH Voluonth = ((ETOH Voljufy * ETOHMkt ShareJuiy) + ((ETOH Voljan * ETOHMktSharejan)
- (ETOH Voljufy * ETOH Mkt Sharejuiy)) * RatioRvp) : ETOH Mkt ShareMonth
The above formulas are used to compute values for each of the remaining 10 months.
H.	NATURAL GAS
This file contains the natural gas sulfur content for each natural gas ID.
Comments
Most S/L agencies will not need to update this file. However, S/L agencies with information on
the sulfur content of natural gas sold in their agency that differs from the NMIM default natural
gas sulfur content should update this table accordingly. How to update this table is described
under CountyYearMonth above.
I.	STATE
This is a state-level file that lists external file names used by MOBILE6.2 for modeling non-
default NLEV implementation schedules or non-default Tier 2 exhaust phase-in schedules,
evaporative phase-in schedules, and alternative Tier 2 certification standards.
8

-------
Comments
The only fields in this table relevant to the nonroad sector are the fields listing the state FIPS
identifier, state name, and state abbreviation. These fields will not change. Therefore, no
updates should be made to this file for the 2014NEI. However, this table must be present in the
submissions to the EIS, so the default table provided by EPA should be included in the
submission, with no changes from the S/L agency.
J. BASEYEARVMT
This table contains the 2011 annual VMT data by state, county, vehicle type, and roadway type.
The VMT units are millions of miles.
Comments
This table affects only the onroad emission calculations and will not be used in the 2014 NEI.
Therefore, S/L agencies should not make any updates to this table for the 2014 NEI. However,
this table must be present in the submissions to the EIS, so the default table provided by EPA
should be included in the submission, with no changes from the S/L agency.
K. COUNTYVMTMONTHALLOCATION
This table contains monthly VMT allocation fractions by county, vehicle type, and roadway type.
Comments
This table affects only the onroad emission calculations and will not be used in the 2014 NEI.
Therefore, S/L agencies should not make any updates to this table for the 2014 NEI. However,
this table must be present in the submissions to the EIS, so the default table provided by EPA
should be included in the submission, with no changes from the S/L agency.
III. COUNTY SUBMISSION DOCUMENTATION
All submissions of data should include documentation of the sources of data and processes used
to organize the information into the format required. This documentation may include existing
presentations and papers in any format, but should include a summary that explicitly connects
the documentation provided with specific tables provided.
The submission must also contain a spreadsheet checklist that indicates where county specific
data has been provided. From the 2014 NEI webpage
(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2014inventory.html), download the QA checklist
"National_County_Checklist_2014_NCD.xlsx". This spreadsheet will contain rows for every
county in the nation. You may trim this list to only include the counties in your agency.
9

-------
This checklist is intended to indicate which tables your agency has revised from EPA's defaults
for each county. It also indicates counties for which the submitter accepts EPA default estimates
as equivalent to their submittal. The list you submit should include all of the counties in your
agency, even if you are only submitting CDBs for some of the counties.
Name your checklist with your agency Program System Code (PSC), such as "PSC_Checklist.xls
(or xlsx)". For example, Delaware's state agency PSC is "DEDNR" and their checklist would be
named "DEDNR_Checklist.xls".
The purpose of the checklist is to provide a method to determine which parts of the agency
submission contain new information. This will greatly assist EPA is using this information for
making projections to other calendar years. The figure below shows the content of this checklist.

IV. METHOD FOR PROVIDING UPDATES AND CHANGES
TO THE NMIM COUNTY-LEVEL DATABASE
This section discusses how S/L agencies should access EPA's default NMIM county-level
database and submit updates and changes. You may do this in one of two ways:
1. Using the Emissions Inventory System (EIS) Gateway, select "NCD Activity Data,"
"EPADefault," and your state, as illustrated in Figure 2. EIS contains zipped files for
each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Download the file that includes all the NCD data for your state. Each zip file contains
early 2011 county-level database NCD tables in CSV format that can be adapted for 2014
for that state along with the associated external data files. It is important to note that S/L
agencies are required to send the complete set of NCD tables back to EPA even if
changes were not made to each table.
11

-------
2. If instead, you choose to work from the national final 201 1NEIv2 NCD file
(2011nei supdata nonroaci.zip). located at ftp://ftp.epa.gov/Emislnventory/2011 /doc, you
will need to extract your state or counties of interest, revise them, and convert the tables
to .csv format for submittal.

Once you make corrections to the EPA default NCD tables and external files, prepare a zipped
named "SS000.zip" for a complete state submittal, or "SSCCC.zip" for a county submittal,,
where SS=the 2 digit state code, and CCC= the 3 digit county code, that contains:
1.
2.
3.
4.
All eleven NCD tables in a folder named "Tables" for all the counties included
(submittals must be for only one county, or for all counties in the state).
All external files in a folder named "External Files"
A folder named "Text File" that contains documents(s) that contain descriptions of
revisions made to EPA default values and sources of the revised data. A .txt file must be
present, but additional files (e.g., .xls, .doc) can also be added to support your data.
A copy of the county checklist spreadsheet indicating the files and tables provided that
contain county specific data.
Creating the EIS/CDX-required XML
There are two ways to create the xml file
1. Use notepad or other editing software to edit the sample xml
