Ron,

Thanks for providing more time. We are working on reviewing both the draft glossary and the list of plant addresses. I real ly appreciate the

extr a time so that we can incorporate the feedback from our members. I'm looking forward to our conference call tomorrow to disc uss the ICR.

Please send along the agenda and any questions that you might have. I have asked Liz Aldridge to join the call.

- Proposed ICR Follow up Materials

Hi Donna,

In response to your phone message asking for additional time to provide

feedback to EPA on the draft ICR glossary and mailing list, first allow

me to express appreciation for your interest and willingness to review

the documents. We look forward to hearin g your suggestions for possible

improvements/corrections. As you know, we're moving expeditiously

toward issuing the next draft of the ICR and have limited time for

making changes. We would greatly appreciate receiving your suggestions

on the glossary by Monday, February 1.

We're able to accommodate a bit more time on the mailing list, and ask

for your input on that by Friday, February 12. Our current plan still

calls for us to send the questionnaire to the attention of the plant

manager at the plants t hat get selected..You asked whether we could

instead send the questionnaire to a corporate contact and we're

considering possible alternatives for the distribution. Should we

retain our approach for sending the questionnaire to the plant manager,

we may a lso make a parallel courtesy notification to the corporate

contact. Therefore, as you review the plant mailing addresses, you may

also wish to provide information for an alternative corporate contact

(including both mailing and email addresses).

Looking forward to tomorrow's call to discuss the ICR. We'll send an

agenda later today.

Ron

- Proposed ICR Follow up Materials

Greetings,

This e

- mail is a follow up to requests provided by UWAG, APPA, EEI

and/or its members during previous outreach calls regarding the proposed

ICR for the steam electric power generating effluent guidelines

rulemaking. As you are aware, the comment period for the First Federal

Register notice ended on December 28, 2009 and EPA is currently in the

process of reviewing and addressing these comment s.

1. Draft Glossary

We have prepared a draft glossary that will be included as part of the

questionnaire (see attached file). The glossary will be included along

with the ICR that will be submitted to the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for appro val, and will be available for public comment when

EPA publishes a Federal Register notice announcing submission of the ICR

to OMB. However, we would like to offer you the opportunity for an

early review of the draft glossary and invite you to provide fee dback.

In order for us to accommodate changes prior to submitting the ICR to

OMB, we ask you to send us your suggestions for changes to the

definitions, as well as identifying any terms that should be added or

deleted, by Friday, January 22.

2. Plant Mailing Addresses

We've heard concern expressed about the address EPA intends to use for

distributing the questionnaires to the industry. Attached is a file

listing all power plants included in EPA's database of potential

respondents. (Note that EPA does not intend to send the questionnaire to

every plant on the list; however, EPA does not know at this time which

plants will be selected, nor will that be known until after the random

selection process occurs.). The plants were identified using Energy

Information Administration (EIA) data, which in most cases is also the

source of data for the mailing addresses. We invite you to review the

addresses and operato r names, and to provide feedback on any corrections

that may be needed, including identifying any plants that may have been

incorrectly omitted from the list. We ask that you send us your

suggested changes to us by February 1.
