Montana FIP Comments

-- Revised FINAL w Attachments.pdf Vanessa - I am following up on our phone conversation this morning. I am confirming that Attachments 4 and 6 to PPL Montana's comments on the Proposed Montana Regional Haze Federal Implementation Plan (submitted June 18, 2012) contained notations claiming Attorney Client Privilege in error. These markings were inadvertently left on the documents in question before their submittal to you. PPL Montana's comments are intended for the public record and we have no objection to their being entered in the docket. I apologize for any confusion the inadvertent notations have caused. In order to prevent any future confusion, I am providing, for posting to the docket, our same comments document submitted on June 18 with the Privilegeclaiming notations removed. Thank you. Jim Parker
