The new DRAFT Bridge Tool which accommodates the CERS Schema changes for the 2020 NEI is ready. PLEASE NOTE that this version is a draft version for SLT agencies to use for their own test files and software development. This version of the Bridge Tool should NOT be used for any data submissions at this time. We will release a final version that should be used for inventory years 2020 and beyond.
