Instructions for completing the Fuel Material Analysis Information

This Information Collection Request (ICR) spreadsheet is intended to collect information about chemical analyses of fuels 

used fossil fuel burning power plants. Constituents of concern are: mercury, chlorine, fluorine, and metals, such as 

antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, and selenium. This spreadsheet is intended to 

be used for one boiler of one facility but is designed to allow multiple (up to 4) fuel analyses at that specific boiler. This 

number of analyses would coincide with one boiler where emissions testing for all 4 HAP surrogates were being tested. 

Data for multiple boilers should be handled by using separate spreadsheets. Fields that are highlighted in yellow are 

required fields. Green highlighted cells should be filled using the drop-down boxes, included. Gray fields are automatically 

filled from other fields.

Please name each resulting spreadsheet with the following naming convention: 

[FacilityID]_Unit_[BoilerID]_Fuels_Testing.xls (example: 8100_Unit_2_Fuels_Testing.xls).

Please refer to the following steps when using these spreadsheets.

1. Please enter the EIA Facility Code, Facility Name and Boiler ID of your boiler on the Boiler Information worksheet.

2. Please enter the test date on the Boiler Information worksheet.

3. Please choose the type of fuel being sampled using the drop-down in the fuel column of the Boiler Information 

worksheet. If you choose "other", please provide a description of the fuel in the Other Fuel Description column.

4. Please provide the analysis method for each constituent in the Analysis Methods worksheet. For example: "ASTM D5865-

04".

5. Please check the Units of Measure tables for HHV, Metals, and Cl/Fl in the Picklist worksheet (orange tab). If the units of

measure that you plan to report are not found in the Units of measure table, please fill them in the blank, orange 

highlighted, cell in each table. This allows you to choose the units of measure in the Fuels Sample Results worksheet.

6. Select the HAPs Test Group (i.e., HAP surrogate) for which the tab's data reflects (orange highlighted cell).

7. Provide the Sample Number and Sample Date on the Fuels Sample Results worksheet. You must provide a minimum of 3 

composite samples consisting of 3 combined grab samples each, but you are not limited to that number if you have collected 

more.

8. Provide the results of the analyses for each constituent requested. Use the drop-down boxes to fill in the units of 

measure.
