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 y ou know, we're moving expeditiously toward issuing the next draft of the ICR and have limited time for making changes. We w ould greatly appreciate r eceiving 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, Fe bruary 12. Our current plan still calls for us to send the questionnair e to the attention of the plant manager at the plants that get se lected..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 courte sy notification to the corporate contact. Therefore, as you review the plant mailing addresses, you may also wish to provide information fo r 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 Mate rials

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 th at 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 no tice 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 cha nges 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 th e 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.
