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 fa cility - specific or facility - derived information in input files to” certain documents found on the docket for the Steam Electric ELG rulemaking.

· A llegheny 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 · M onongahela Power Company - Albright Power Station, Fort Martin Power Station, Rivesville Power Station, Willow Island Power Station · F irstEner gy 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 th e 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 info rmation 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, p ollutant loadings methodol ogies, etc.). I

n addition to this publicly available data, in response to your request, EPA is planning to forward under sep arate 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 ava ilable data to make relevant calculations, such as how to calculate pollutant loadings. E PA believes these data, in addition to the publicly available da ta already provided in the docket, provide you with sufficient information to understand any effects t he 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 confident ial 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.

F or example, our facilities supplied inf ormation 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 abbreviatio n used thr oughout 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 waiv ing any of our CBI designations. B ecause you are providing the information only to us, there is no breach of confidentiality and no waiver of CBI protections. F urthermore, we are not requesting CBI information, or CBI - derived information, from other comp anies that may have furnished data or information appearing in the listed documents. W e 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. B ecause of the relatively short comment period for reviewi ng 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.
