Even though your EGR may show functional...there could be something dirty in there causing the NOX to go just over the limit. I doubt it it is a bad cat or O2 sensor as your other values look very good, especially your HCs. Even though you were under the limit on 15 mph for NOX, those NOX values still look high to me in relation to the other types of emission values your are showing.

before u go into ur next emmision test do this
oil change
run your engine hard on the way to the emision station
and when ur inline for the emission test. hold your rpms at 2500.
