Instructions for filling Fuel Material Analysis Information

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

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

antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, nickel, and selenium. 

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

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

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

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

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 worksh

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 Informatio

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: "A

D5865-04".

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

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

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

6. Provide the Sample Number and Sample Date on the Fuels Sample Results worksheet. You must provide a m

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

collected more.

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

measure.
