# 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 CHI-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 have done

our best

to be selective

in asking

for facility-specific

information.

The information

we are seeking, however,

is critical

to our review

of, and preparation

of comments on,
the proposed

ELG Rule. 

# Because

there

are less than

60 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.
