***PROMPT RESPONSE REQUESTED*** 

Dear Ms. Alicea-Virella: 

Our facilities provided information that is being used to inform EPA's development of the 

proposed revision of the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the steam electric 

power generating point source (ELG Rule). The facilities listed below either responded to 

earlier ELG Rule questionnaires to the industry or provided information to you through other 

means, such as site visits or separate information requests. The specific facilities in question 

are as follows: 

PPL Generation PPL Brunner Island NPDES Permit PA0008281 

PPL Generation PPL Montour NPDES Permit PA0008443 

PPL Generation PPL Susquehanna NPDES Permit PA0047325 

PPL Generation PPL Martins Creek NPDES Permit PA0012823 

PPL Montana J.E. Corette NPDES Permit MT0000396 

We have identified certain record documents which we believe contain information reported 

by, or derived from data or information reported by, one or more of our facilities. EPA has 

redacted all or portions of these documents as "confidential business information" (CBI). 

We are requesting that you provide to us all information related to the facilities listed above

Please include all information from these documents that relates to our facilities. For example, 

our facilities supplied information about existing control technologies. Through this request, 

we are requesting not only the control technologies information supplied by our facilities, but 

also control technologies information about our facilities derived from other sources, as well as 

all EPA-developed information relating to our control technologies, including EPA's assessments 

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. 

The legend and formula information is key to understanding 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 not requesting CBI information, or CBI-derived information, 

from other companies that may have furnished data or information appearing in the listed 

documents. We are requesting only information related to our own facilities. 
We prefer that the information be in electronic form. Please send CD to Nancy A. Evans, PPL 

Corporation, 2 N. gth St., Mail Stop GENTW20, Allentown, PA, 18101-1179. 

Sincerely, 

I certify under penalty of/aw that I am a responsible corporate official or his/her authorized 

representative ofPPL Corporation and am authorized to request confidential business 

information on behalf of my company. I certify that PPL Corporation is the majority owner or 

the operator for each facility (and for each unit at each facility) for which we are requesting 

confidential business information. I am aware that there may be significant penalties for 

submitting false information including the possibility of fines and imprisonment, pursuant to 18 

u.s.c. § 1001.
