Please include all information from these docum ents that relates to our facilities. For example, our facilities supplied informati on about existing control technologies. Through this request, we are requesting not only the control technologies information supplied by our facilities, but also contro l technologies information about our facilities derived from other sources, as well as all EPA-developed information relating to our control technologies, including EPA’s assess ments of future technology choices for our facilities based on the various rule options.

For each document, as appropriate, please also include: (1) a legend which explains each column heading and each abbreviation used throughout the entire document; and (2) a list of all formulas applied in the document and a legend for any abbreviations
used in the formulas. T he legend and formula information will be essential to
understand these documents.

We make this request without waiving any of our CBI designations. Because you are providing the information only to us, there is no breach of confidentiality and no waiver of CBI protections. Furthermore, we are no t requesting CBI information, or CBI-derived information, from other companies that may have furnished data or information appearing in the listed document s. We are requesting only information related to our
own facilities.

We have done our best to be selective in asking for facility-specific information. The information we are seeking, however, is crit ical to our review of, and preparation of comments on, the proposed ELG Rule. Because there are less than 50 days left in the comment period, we ask that you expedite this request.

If you have any questions about this request, please call or email me. I look forward to your prompt response. Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,

J. Michael Brown Environmental, Safety & Health Director Ohio Valley Electric Corporation Indiana-Kentucky Electric Corporation PO Box 468, 3932 U.S. Rt. 23 Piketon, Ohio 45661
