Hi Chuck,

So there’s no overlap in the plants

– a facility only does hard chromium or decorative, but not both?

Thanks for the updated memo.

-- Reques ted Documents

Hi Cortney,

Attached is the latest version of the document. Regarding the number of facilities, we

estimate there are a total of 1350 plants in the U.S. and 198 of these are located in

California. The break down is as follows:

Number of Non

- California plants:

* 188 large hard chromium plants

* 394 small hard chromium plants (263 small hard existing)

* 423 decorative hard chromium plants

* 140 chromium anodizing plants

Number of California plants:

* 70 hard chromium plants

* 94 decorative hard chromium plants

* 34 chromium anodizing plants

These numbers are presented in the attached document, especially in Appendix A.

Thanks.

Chuck
