Ron, 

Thanks for providing more time. We are working on reviewing both the draft glossary and the list of plant addresses. I really

appreciate the extra time so that we can incorporate the feedback from our members. I'm looking forward to our conference call

tomorrow to discuss the ICR. Please send along the agenda and any questions that you might have. I have asked Liz Aldridge to join 

the call. 

Thanks, 

Donna

Hi Donna, 

In response to your phone message asking for additional time to provide 

feedback to EPA on the draft ICR glossary and mailing list, first allow 

me to express appreciation for your interest and willingness to review 

the documents. We look forward to hearing your suggestions for possible 

improvements/corrections. As you know, we're moving expeditiously 

toward issuing the next draft of the ICR and have limited time for 

making changes. We would greatly appreciate receiving your suggestions 

on the glossary by Monday, February 1. 

We're able to accommodate a bit more time on the mailing list, and ask 

for your input on that by Friday, February 12. Our current plan still 

calls for us to send the questionnaire to the attention of the plant 

manager at the plants that get selected..You asked whether we could 

instead send the questionnaire to a corporate contact and we're 

considering possible alternatives for the distribution. Should we 

retain our approach for sending the questionnaire to the plant manager, 

we may also make a parallel courtesy notification to the corporate 

contact. Therefore, as you review the plant mailing addresses, you may 

also wish to provide information for an alternative corporate contact 

(including both mailing and email addresses). 

Looking forward to tomorrow's call to discuss the ICR. We'll send an 

agenda later today. 

Ron

 Subject: Steam Electric Power Generating EG - Proposed ICR Follow up Materials 

Greetings, 

This e-mail is a follow up to requests provided by UWAG, APPA, EEI 

and/or its members during previous outreach calls regarding the proposed 

ICR for the steam electric power generating effluent guidelines 

rulemaking. As you are aware, the comment period for the First Federal 

Register notice ended on December 28, 2009 and EPA is currently in the 

process of reviewing and addressing these comments. 

1. Draft Glossary 

We have prepared a draft glossary that will be included as part of the 

questionnaire (see attached file). The glossary will be included along 

with the ICR that will be submitted to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for approval, and will be available for public comment when 

EPA publishes a Federal Register notice announcing submission of the ICR 

to OMB. However, we would like to offer you the opportunity for an 

early review of the draft glossary and invite you to provide feedback. 

In order for us to accommodate changes prior to submitting the ICR to 

OMB, we ask you to send us your suggestions for changes to the 

definitions, as well as identifying any terms that should be added or 

deleted, by Friday, January 22.

2. Plant Mailing Addresses 

We've heard concern expressed about the address EPA intends to use for 

distributing the questionnaires to the industry. Attached is a file 

listing all power plants included in EPA's database of potential 

respondents. (Note that EPA does not intend to send the questionnaire to 

every plant on the list; however, EPA does not know at this time which 

plants will be selected, nor will that be known until after the random 

selection process occurs.). The plants were identified using Energy 

Information Administration (EIA) data, which in most cases is also the 

source of data for the mailing addresses. We invite you to review the 

addresses and operator names, and to provide feedback on any corrections 

that may be needed, including identifying any plants that may have been 

incorrectly omitted from the list. We ask that you send us your 

suggested changes to us by February 1.
