- RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Don Fippinger Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. P.O. Box 2606 Havre, MT 59501 Re: Reasonable Progress Information Request for Devon Energy Production Company, L.P., Pursuant to Section 114(a) ofthe Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Section 74 14(a» Dear Mr. Fippinger: On June 19,2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a letter from the Montana Department ofEnvironmental Quality (MDEQ) that stated it was withdrawing its efforts to adopt a state implementation plan (SIP) for regional haze under EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR), found at 40 CFR 51.308. Due to Montana's announcementthat it would not be addressing the requirements under 40 CFR 51.308, EPA Region 8 is moving forward with the technical and policy work needed to implement the requirements ofthe RHR under a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). See Section 11O(c)(I) ofthe Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.c. §7410(c)(l). As part ofour effort to address the requirements under the RHR for reasonable progress goals and long-term strategies (see 40 CFR 51.308(d)(l) and 51.308(d)(3», we are evaluating controls for stationary sources that contribute to regional haze. To conduct this analysis, we are requesting information from sources that will allow us to detemline whether controls are reasonable as required by 40 CFR 51.308(d)(I)(A). (See EPA's Regional Haze Program Requirements, 40 CFR 51.308.) This infoffi1ation request pertains to the Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. Blaine County #1 facility located at Section 29, Township 31 North, Range 18 East, Blaine County, Montana. 

### It is EPA's understanding that Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. (Devon) is the owner and operator ofthis facility and that this facility contains emission sources. Pursuant to Section 114 ofthe CAA, 42 U.S.C. §74l4, and under authority duly delegated to the undersigned, you are required to provide us with the infoffi1ation specified in Attachment A. This information will be used by EPA in developing a regional haze FIP, or in the event MDEQ resumes development ofa regional haze SIP, in assisting MDEQ in that effort and/or reviewing a regional haze SIP for Montana.Furthermore, information requests pursuant to Section 114 ofthe CAA are not limited to sources that are regulated by the particular rule EPA is implementing. For example, Section 114(a)(l) says that EPA may gather information from "any person who owns or operates any emission source" or "who the Administrator believes may have information necessary for the purposes set forth in this subsection." The information required by this letter must be submitted and postmarked within 30 business days from the date ofreceipt ofthis letter. A duly authorized officer or agent ofDevon Energy Production Company, L.P. must certify as true, accurate, and complete Devon's response to this information request by signing the enclosed Statement ofCertification and returning it with Devon's response. Such officer or agent must have sufficient knowledge and authority to make such representations on behalfofDevon. Please submit the information to: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 1595 Wynkoop Street Denver, Colorado 80202-1129 Attention: Laurel Dygowski, 8P-AR Pursuant to Section 114(c) ofthe CAA, 42 U.S.c. §7414(c), and 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B, Devon is entitled to assert a business confidentiality claim covering any part ofthe submitted information. Attachment B specifies the assertion and substantiation requirements for business confidentiality claims. Failure to assert such a claim makes the submitted information subject to public disclosure upon request and without further notice to you, pursuant to the Freedom ofInformation Act, 5 U.S.c. Section 552. Information subject to a business confidentiality claim may only be made available to the public in accordance with 40 CFRPart 2, Subpart B. EPA has the authority to use any ofthe information required by this letter in developing a FIP for regional haze pursuant to the CAA, in assisting in development of, or in reviewing, a regional haze SIP, or in carrying out other responsibilities or actions under the CAA as described in Section 114(a) ofthe CAA. A knowing submittal offalse information in response to this request may be actionable under Section] 13(c)(2) ofthe CAA, as well as 18 U.S.C. §§1001 and 1341.

a. Assertion Requirements You may assert a business confidentiality claim covering all or part ofthe information requested in the attached letter, as provided in 40 C.F.R. §2.203(b). To make a confidentiality claim, submit the requested information and indicatethat you are making a claim of confidentiality. Any document over which you make a claim ofconfidentiality should be marked by placing on or attaching to the information, at the time it is submitted to U.S. EPA, a cover sheet, stamped or typed legend, or other suitable form ofnotice employing language such as "trade secret" or "proprietary" or "company confidential" and a date ifany when the information should no longer be treated as confidential. Information covered by such a claim will be disclosed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) only to the extent permitted and by means ofthe procedures set forth by Section 114(c) ofthe Clean Air Act (the Act), and 40 C.F.R. Part 2. Allegedly confidential portions ofotherwise nonconfidential documents should be clearly identified. U.S. EPA will construe the failure to furnish a confidentiality claim with your response to the attached letter as a waiver ofthat claim, and the information may be made available to the public without further notice to you. Please segregate personnel, medical and similar files from your responses and include that information on separate sheet(s) marked as "Personal Privacy Information" given that disclosure ofsuch information to the general public may constitute an invasion ofprivacy. b. Substantiation Requirements All confidentiality claims are subject to U.S. EPA veriiication and must be made in accordance with 40 C.F.R. §2.208 which provides in part that you satisfactorily showthat you have taken reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality ofthe information and that you intend to continue to do so; and that the information is not and has not been reasonably obtainable by legitimate means without your consent. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart B, U.S. EPA may at any time send you a letter asking you to substantiate fully your CBI claim. You must provide U.S. EPA with a response within the number ofdays set forth in the U.S. EPA request letter. You may seek an extension of time to submit your comments to EPA's letter, but the request must be made before the end of the response period specified in that letter. Except in extraordinary circumstances, no extension will be approved. Failure to submit your comments within that time will be regarded as a waiver ofyour confidentiality claim or claims, and U.S. EPA may release the information. U.S. EPA will ask you to specifY which portions ofthe information you consider confidential. You must be specific by page, paragraph, and sentence when identifying the information subject to your claim. Any information not specifically identified as subject to a confidentiality claim may be disclosed to the requestor without further notice to you. For each item or class ofinformation that you identify as being subject to CBl, U.S. EPA will ask you to answer the tDllowingquestions, giving as much detail as possible: 1. For what period oftime do you request that the information be maintained as confidential, e.g., until a certain date, until the occurrence ofa specified event, or permanently? Ifthe occurrence ofa specific event will eliminate the need for confidentiality, please specify that event 2. Information submitted to U.S. EPA becomes stale over time. Why should the information you claim as confidential be protected for the time period specified in your answer to question 

### #1? 3. What measures have you taken to protect the information claimed as confidential? Have you disclosed the information to anyone other than a governmental body or someone who is bound by an agreement not to disclose the information further? Ifso, why should the information still be considered confidential? 4. Is the information contained in any publicly available material such as the Internet, publicly available databases, promotional publications, annual reports, or articles? Is there any means by which a member ofthe public could obtain access to the information? Is the information ofa kind that you would customarily not release to the public? 5. Has any governmental body made a determination as to the confidentiality ofthe information? Ifso, please attach a copy ofthe determination. 6. For each category ofinfom1ation claimed as confidential, explain with specificitywhy release ofthe infom1ation is likely to cause substantial harm to your competitive position. Explain the specific nature ofthose harmful effects, why they should be viewed as substantial, and the causal relationship between disclosure and such harmful effects. How could your competitors make use ofthis information to your detriment? 7. Do you assert that the information is submitted on a voluntary or a mandatory basis? Please explain the reason for your assertion. Tfyou assert that the information is voluntarily submitted information, explain whether and why disclosure ofthe information would tend to lessen the availability to U.S. EPA ofsimilar information in the future. 8. Any other issue you deem relevant (including, ifpertinent reasons why you believe that the information you claim to be
