Greetings Mr. Spicer!

EPA received your request for “all information related to Luminant’s 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. 

• Big Brown Steam Electric Station

• Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant

• Lake Creek Steam Electric Station

• Lake Hubbard Steam Electric Station

• Martin Lake Steam Electric Station

• Monticello Steam Electric Station

• Morgan Creek Steam Electric Station

• Oak Grove Steam Electric Station

• Sandow Steam Electric Station

• Trinidad Steam Electric Station

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,
