National Emissions Inventory Input Format (NIF) 3.0 to XML Converter Tool

For the 2007 emissions inventory cycle, EPA will accept inventory data in three formats: ASCII text files, Microsoft ® Access database, and eXtensible Markup Language (XML). To assist agencies preparing an inventory in the XML format, EPA has developed the NIF 3.0 to NEI XML 3.0 software tool to convert an emission inventory from either ASCII text files or Microsoft® Access files compliant with the NIF 3.0 specifications (November 2003 version) to an XML file compliant with the NEI XML 3.0 schema (April 2004 version). This tool also validates the XML file against the XML schema and produces a log reporting the errors encountered during the validation.
