sources, and including facility-specific or facility-derived information in input files to the listed 

documents) contained within the following documents:

Please include all information from these documents that relates to our facilities. For example, our 

facilities supplied information about existing control technologies. Through this request, we are 

requesting not only the control technologies information supplied by our facilities, but also control 

technologies information about our facilities derived from other sources, as well as all EPA-developed 

information relating to our control technologies, including EPA's assessments of future technology 

choices for our facilities based on the various rule options. 
We make this request without waiving any of our CBI designations. Because you are providing the 

information only to us, there is no breach of confidentiality and no waiver of CBI protections. 

Furthermore, we are not requesting CBI information, or CBI-derived information, from other companies 

that may have furnished data or information appearing in the listed documents. We are requesting only 

information related to our own facilities. 

We have done our best to be selective in asking for facility-specific information. The information we are 

seeking, however, is critical to our review of, and preparation of comments on, the proposed ELG Rule. 

Because there are less than 50 days left in the comment period, we ask that you expedite this request. 

If you have any questions about this request, please call or email me. I look forward to your prompt 

response. Thank you very much for your help. 

Sincerely, 

214-875-8299
