Notes
Status of the 2022 Platform Development Plan
- Need to determine when is it good enough
- Set a date and put a version date to share it (September 20)
- Want it in a form to share by the EIC
- Tom and Tom are borrowing information in the communication plan
- There are few things in the plan that we’ll need to circle back to later, or don’t need as much detail at this point - add notes as an Appendix
- Note parts that are still to be completed or where we need input to the document from workgroups
- Freeze the plan on 9/20
Coordination committee member roles in facilitating the 2022 EIC
- Zac and Alison describe how coordination committee members will advocate for the process in the different workgroups
- Tom expressed concerns that the activity in each workgroup could be different if we don’t have a consistent/coordinated plan
- Communication plan needs to be in place to ensure that the messages are consistent across workgroups
- When we get to point of needing actual work in the workgroups, how do we get that work done?
- Need someone to bring the technical issues to the different groups
- How long will the technical interactions go on until we move into development? Does scope involve new technical work or not?
- ACTION: need to make a table of workgroups with meeting dates, WG leads, CC leads to interface with them
- Susan will help in the ERTAC and IPM workgroups
Update on communication coordination
- CC to provide feedback on communication plan by next week
- Tom will generate the slides and coordination committee members can deliver to the workgroups
- Coordination committee 2022EC advocates to present slides on the communication to the workgroups
- Zac/Alison to create a table of workgroups with primary contacts, and column with advocates from the coordination committee in each group
Plans for the 2022-related talks at the 2022 EIC
- Lightning talk on the collaborative
- Alison/Zac co-chairing session on inventories for AQM Wednesday morning 2nd half to have a block on the collaborative:
- 20 min introduction talk on the 2022 EC;
- panel with 4x 5 min talks and
- 20 min community discussion
- Hope to see Coordination committee members at the panel and at the conference
Update on the Projections workgroup
- Calls 1st Wed at 3 Central
- Draft charge/workplan available
- Alison drafted a table of sectors with suggested / recent projection methods for each
- Will create collaboration tools for the group to use
2020 platform Announcement
- The 2020 EMP will be released before the EIC in the corresponding place on the EPA website under https://www.epa.gov/air-emissions-modeling/emissions-modeling-platforms
Follow up items
- Do we need a subset of the coordination committee to dig into, e.g., technical improvements?
- How can we encourage people to reach out broadly about projections, identify where there needs more work/attention?
- Still working on collaborative communication mechanisms.
- How can people get "on the list" for quarterly calls / collaborative communication?
- Need to set up link for November 2 call
August 9, 2023

Notes
Feedback on August 2 kickoff webinar
- About 330 people signed on at the maximum
- Wiki page has presentation and recording: http://views.cira.colostate.edu/wiki/SiteSettings/Wiki/Index/11209
- We will need to communicate to states about workgroup staffing and data product review
Status of 2022 development plan review
- Sent to Coordination Committee
- Hope to publish late August or early September
- Need to review 2020 inventory and have some discussion points
- ACTION: comments due to August 18
- ACTION: need clarify timeline for various activities (data review, etc)
- Need to explain differences between v1 and v2
Known data calls for states
- Year 2022 Vehicle miles traveled by MOVES source type or HPMS vehicle type by county - can be a spreadsheet
- Fire activity data will be requested around September
- Some projection-related data will be needed (fall-winter)
- Staffing workgroups and reviewing data products
2023 Emission Inventory Conference
- Tentative agenda is available
- Plan for one hour at AQ modeling session: intro talk, panel, community discussion
Important things to know
- Which sectors have significant changes between 2017 and 2020?
- What will EPA do with data states provide for mobile sources?
- How will v1 and v2 be used?
Roles of the communications team
- Would like to encourage states with smaller air programs to participate in data review - need to explain why it is important
- Give opportunities for feedback
- There has been attrition and staff turnover, so this is new to some
- Need to make sure folks know how data will be used and how the data have been prepared
Where to hold non-sector-specific technical discussion
- Examples include review of data summaries by speciation, spatial, and temporal profiles
- What about non-EGU point issues - a sector that doesn't have a workgroup?
