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 doctnnents.

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.
