Instructions for filling Fuel Material Analysis Information

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

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

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

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

would coincide with one boiler where emissions testing for all 4 HAP surrogates were being tested. Data for mu

should be handled by using separate spreadsheets. Fields that are highlighted in yellow are required fields. Gre

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]_Fuel

(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 workshe

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 

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

04".

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

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

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

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

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

more.

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