**Section 8 - Fuel Usage by Steam Electric Generating Unit** Sarah- we did not multiply this section for all units, we will only multiplied by the number of plants assuming that all of their unit data would be located together. Originally we added 4.5 hours to account for multiple units.
Liz- I've revised these estimates assuming that you will take the same approach -- that you will only multiply this by the number of plants. You don't need to add any hours.

The following changes to burden for Part C result from breaking the original burden estimate into the separate sections, as the number of respondents for each will change. The estimates are close to the orginal estimates, a bit higher for Sections 2.1 and 3.1 because this section now combines a large majority of the questions that used to be in Sections 2/3.1.2.3.4 **Section Estimated**

Part H burden should decrease, removal of 1 question and rows in tables. However, commenters suggested that coordination would take a long time. Cancel out- no change to burden. Industry concerned over burden to fill out/gather data. However, changed request to a "typical" cleaning event. Cancel out- no

Section 1 burden decreased by 1 hour for the inspection table. Addition of cost section increases burden (Section 3.2). Overall increase of 6.25 hours. **Part E (Total Respondents: 734 Plants)**

Section 1 through Section 7 733 Plant Section 8 733 Plant Section 9 through 11 733 Plant Section 12 495 Plant Part A (Section 12) will only require information from all coal-fired power plants.

Section 1 through Section 3 242 Plant Number of plants estimated that have operating or planned FGD systems. Derived from EIA data, detailed study, and site visits. In the 1st FRN burden the estimated included one FGD at each plant (over-estimation). Section 4 259 Wet FGDs Number of operating w et FGD systems. Section 5 and Section 7 259 Wet FGDs Number of operating w et FGD systems.

Section 6 55 Wet FGDs with Scrubber Purge 34 plants that w e visited (or submitted data request response) had FGD at time of visit or when data request submitted, 7 of these plants had untreated scrubber purge data for their wet FGD system (21%).In order to estimate the number of plants that will have scrubber purge data, apply the 21% to the total number of operating w

et FGD systems. 21% of 259 wet FGDs = 55 Section 8 68 Dry FGDs Number of dry FGD systems

Section 1 530 Plant Number of plants that will receive Part C (495 Coal + 20 Oil + 9 Pet Coke + 6 Oil Combination Facilities) Section 2.1 1292 Unit Number of coal and pet coke units, along with the subset of oil.

Section 1 and Section 2 530 Plant Number of plants that will receive Part D (495 Coal + 20 Oil + 9 Pet Coke + 6 Oil Combination Facilities)

Section 3 611 Pond/Impoudment and WWT System Part D (Section 2) requires information on all pond/impoundment systems and other wastew ater treatment systems at the plant or planned to be at the plant. For the purpose of this burden estimate, we will use the number of pond/impoundments identified in ORCR's information collection (573). ERG is also aware of 29 FGD wastewater treatment systems from the most current facility database (includes information from site visits, detailed study, facility communication). ERG estimates that there will be 9 planned FGD wastew ater treatment systems for the purpose of this estimate (as industry trend shows interest in FGD w astew ater treatment systems). Ratio derived from the number of operating wet FGDs over operating FGD WWTs (259/35) to number of planned w et FGDs over planned FGD WWTs (80/x).

Section 4 573 Pond/Impoundment Part D (Section 3) requests information only on ponds/impoundments located at plants. Number estimated from ORCR

Section 5 38 WWT System Part D (Section 4) requests information only on w astew ater treatment systems (not pond/impoundments) currently operated and planned. These numbers, previously discussed, were derived to be 29 operating and 9 planned FGD WWTs.

Section 6 75 Pond/Impoundment and WWT System Part D (Section 5) requests cost information for pond/impoundments and currently operated wastew ater treatment systems (not planned).AFTER Jan 1, 2000

Section 1 and Section 2 Section 3

Section 1 and 2 140 Pond/ImpoundmentsPart F (Sections 1 and 2) require information for each pond/impoundment at the facilities included in the statistical subpopulations (94 coal and 3 pet coke). From Table B-5 in Part B, 67 coal plants were identified as having a pond. For the purpose of the burden, ERG will assume that these 67 plants and the 3 pet coke plants have 2 ponds at their facility.

Section 3.1 55 Landfills Part F (Section 3) requires information for each landfill at the coal and pet coke facilities selected to receive Part F (91 coal and 9 pet coke). From Table B-5 in Part B, 52 coal plants were identified as having a landfill. For the purpose of the burden, ERG will assume tht these 52 plants and the 3 pet coke plants all have 1 landfill at their facility. Section 3.2 50 Landfills Landfills after January 1, 2000

Section 4 9 Leachate Treatment Systems Part F (Section 4) requests information for each leachate treatment system. ERG estimated this number of

systems after developing the estimates for sample points assumed to have a segregated treatment system.

Section 5 195 Ponds/Impoundments and Landfills Part F (Section 5) requires information for ponds/impoundments and landfills (sum of Section 1, 2 and 3).

Procurement 30 Plant The susbet of coal plants and all pet coke plants (97 total) will receive Part G. ERG assumed that lab procurement cost only is incurred once by a plant. ERG estimates that only 30% of the plants will have leachate to collect. Sampling

Data Entry/Submittal Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 **I** All 733 Plant Sent to all facilities that receive Part A. Part H (Section 1-3) is required to be completed by the statistical subset nuclear plants (about 30% of the total) plus the 1 combination plant that has a nuclear unit (From Table B-3, Part B). **G**

51 Units

Part G estimate is based on the actual number of sampling points ERG estimates for the entire industry. ERG used Supporting Statement Part B Table B-5 information regarding the plants having ponds, landfills, or both. ERG estimated that 30% of the plants w ould collect leachate and that 25% w ould have a segregated leachate collection system. Pet coke plants (9) were assumed to be in the "Both Landfill and Pond" category. All numbers w

ere multpilied by 4 to estimate the number of points for 4 w eeks. Sampling Point

Plant 21 **E** 792 Part E requests information from all statistical subset populations and is based on the number of units at those plants. This estimate is based on the estimated number of units that will answ er each section. (Coal - 272; Gas - 384; Nuclear - 34; Oil -79; and Pet Coke -3)

**F**

**H** Part A (Sections 1-11) of the questionnaire will be sent to all coal-, pet-coke, and combination and statistical subet of all other plant fuel classifications (roughly 30%). Section 8 will not be multiplied by the number of units as that will be accounted for in the hourly estimate. **A**
