Nonroad 2016 beta inventory
EPA will run MOVES2014b for the 2016 beta inventory (including 2023 and 2028), using model defaults (Note: MOVES2014b will also be used to develop the nonroad inventory for the 2017 NEI)
EPA currently getting MOVES2014b set up to run in the cloud; will initiate inventory runs in the next few weeks

5. Updating Geographic Allocation of Equipment for v1
On our 5/24 and 6/28 calls, the work group identified and discussed improving the equipment populations of the highest-emitting categories – Construction, Agriculture, Lawn & Garden, and Recreational – by adjusting the spatial allocation of national equipment populations
Andy Bollman (NC), Gil Grodzinsky (GA), Ken Santlal (MA), Susanne Cotty (Pima Co.), Rebecca Simpson (CO), and Sarah Roberts (EPA) volunteered to research data sources (still looking for volunteers to assist with building updated CDBs and documentation!)
On our 7/26 call, Sarah shared a shortlist of data sources that could be used as surrogates for re-allocating equipment to the county level, and Gil Grodzinsky walked through Georgia’s approach for updating county-level equipment allocations (see work group wiki for more information)
Updating the state- and county-level surrogate data values in Nonroad’s nrstatesurrogate table will be the primary focus of this group’s efforts
Smaller group met on 8/9, to discuss progress in researching and developing surrogate data sources

6. Other Business Questions and Discussion
