We have identified certain record documents which we believe contain information that was reported by, or derived from data or information 

reported by, one or more of our facilities. EPA has redacted all or portions of these documents as “confidential business information” (CBI).

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

the listed documents) contained within the following documents:

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
