A follow-up to yesterday's message (below).

1. OGC is granting an extension of 10 calendar days to Tri-State Generation, so they may submit their detailed

substantiation.

2. I contacted GenOn today, as we had not received a response from them. They are waiving their CBI claims 

for questionnaire parts F and G. (Two plants: New Castle and Portland).

the extension request is pending. 

 1 company, which received letters for 2 plants, has not responded: GenOn (New Castle and 

Portland plants). 



Next steps:

 OGC to decide on extension request from Tri-State Generation. 

 I will call GenOn on Tuesday (5/15) to see if they have sent a response by email and/or hard 

copy. 

 EAD will prepare a package with all correspondence and recommendations for OGC.
