MEMORANDUM

                              
SUBJECT:	MOVES and NONROAD Code and Databases Used to Generate Inventories for Air Quality Modeling and National Inventories for the Tier 3 FRM

		Assessment and Standards Division
		Office of Transportation and Air Quality

TO:		Docket:  EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0135

DATE:		13 February 2014

The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit to the docket a DVD containing the MOVES and NONROAD code, databases, and related files that were used to produce the inventories of emissions from onroad vehicles and nonroad equipment used in the air quality modeling and the national inventories for the Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards.  The disk contains three folders, one with the MOVES files for the air quality modeling, one with the MOVES files for the national inventories, and one with the NONROAD files.  Table 1 lists the contents of the MOVES folder for the air quality modeling.  Table 2 lists the contents of the NONROAD folder.  Table 3 lists the contents of the MOVES folder for the national inventories. Each folder contains both files and subfolders.
