Greetings Ms. Hammer!

EPA received your request for “all information related to First Energy facilities outlined below, including information that EPA has derived from 

information obtained from these facilities and from all other sources, and including facility-specific or facility-derived information in input files 

to” certain documents found on the docket for the Steam Electric ELG rulemaking.

· Allegheny Energy Supply Company - Armstrong Power Station, Harrison Power Station, Hatfield's Ferry Power Station, Mitchell 

Power Station, Pleasants Power Station, R. Paul Smith Power Station

· Monongahela Power Company - Albright Power Station, Fort Martin Power Station, Rivesville Power Station, Willow Island Power 

Station

· FirstEnergy Corporation - Ashtabula Plant, Bay Shore Plant, Bruce Mansfield Plant, Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Eastlake 

Plant, Lake Shore Plant, R.E Burger Plant, W.H. Sammis Plant

EPA has made available substantial data and other information relating to the proposed rule in the docket for the steam electric power generating 

effluent guidelines rulemaking, including data relating to the specific facility(ies) you identified, data about other plants where that data is not 

claimed as confidential business information or could lead to the disclosure of confidential business information, equations used to estimate 

several key outputs such as costs, and a description of the various methodologies used by EPA (e.g., costing methodologies, pollutant loadings 

methodologies, etc.). In addition to this publicly available data, in response to your request, EPA is planning to forward under separate 

correspondence additional data that provides plant-specific compliance costs and pollutant removals that EPA estimated would be attributable to 

the proposed rule, as well as plant-specific input values that were used in EPA’s cost models, pollutant loadings/removal models, and 

environmental assessment models. EPA is planning to provide a description of how each plant can use available data to make relevant 

calculations, such as how to calculate pollutant loadings. EPA believes these data, in addition to the publicly available data already provided in 

the docket, provide you with sufficient information to understand any effects the proposed rule may have on your facilities and to comment 

effectively on the proposed rule, and this data represents the extent of information that EPA can make available to you without disclosing, 

directly or indirectly, information claimed as confidential business information by other sources.

To ensure that confidential business information is only released to an authorized official, EPA requires that you submit your request on company 

letterhead using the certification statement below. The certifying official must be a responsible corporate official or his/her authorized 

representative.

Certification Statement

“I certify under penalty of law that I am a responsible corporate official or his/her authorized representative of [fill in name of corporate entity] 

and am authorized to request confidential business information on behalf of my company. I certify that [fill in name of corporate entity] 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. ”

In addition, you must provide the name (if not the certifying official) and mailing address (no P.O. boxes) for receipt of the requested 

information. Mailing addresses must be accessible to a commercial courier service (e.g., Federal Express).

Have a blessed day!

Sincerely,

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 proposed ELG 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 our 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 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 of the relatively short comment period for reviewing such a large 

volume of information, 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.

Sincerely,

Jeannine M. Hammer
