Please refer to the following steps when using these spreadsheets.

Boiler Information Worksheet

1. Please enter the EIA Facility Code, Facility Name and Boiler ID of your boiler on the Boiler Information workshe

Boiler Operation Information

1. Please provide the values of all requested parameters for each of test run/sample.

2. Please provide any other supporting information or comments in the Other Supporting Information field.

Fuel Information

1. Please enter what types of fuel are being used in your boiler using the drop-downs in the Fuel Type Selection 

may enter up to 4 fuel types. If you are not burning one or more of the fuel types entered in one or more sample

enter an input rate of zero. 

2. Please enter the unit of measure using the drop down provided.

3. Please enter the test method used to determine the fuel input rate.

4. Please provide any other information that you feel may be important in the Other Supporting Information fiel

Emission Data
1. Some constituents ask for the emission rate results of each run in two different units of measure, while others 

emission rate results are requested in two different units of measure (ex. lb/MMBtu (Pounds per million BTU) an

7% O2(parts per million by volume dry basis at 7 percent oxygen)), you are required to provide both.

2. Please provide the test method used. This may or may not match the example given in the Test Method Used 

Please ensure that the name includes the owning organization of the test method (ex. U.S. EPA Method 0010).
