Subject: Request for Extension Re ELG ICR

Attached is a request for an extens ion specific to EP A's recent ICR re effluent limitations guidelines.

Public Service Company of New Hampsh ire (PSNH) is in receipt of your letter, received on June 25, 2010, requesting information on each of PSNH’s power plants which have a coal-fired or oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit. PSNH is happy to provide EPA information requested in the ICR for coal-fired and oil-fired units. PSNHrespectfully requests, however, that EPA grants an extension of 60 days. This extension will allow the PSNH staff to balance their efforts most efficiently and in return provide a compre hensive response to the EPA’s ICR. (see attached for discussion)

The staff at PSNH would appreciate an extension to this ICR because it wants to provide EPA with a thorough answer. PSNH knows the importance of the ICR and wants to ensure it receives the quality of time it deserves. PSNH appreciates EPA’s understanding when considering this request and looks forward to a response that will allow PSNH to participate in the ICR to the extent practical given the current activities of the personnel. If you have any questions or require additional information in order to grant this request, please contact Elizabeth Tillotson, Generation, at 603-634-2440.

Thank you. Lynn Tillotson
