Cortney,

Per your request, attached is a file containing the following
information 

regarding potential impacts on coal handling equipment:

Model plant description

Model plant cost summary

Model plant impacts summary

Nationwide cost summary

Nationwide impact summary

The costs are based on very conservative assumptions that:  (1) PM 

emissions from all coal handling equipment will be controlled through
use 

of enclosures vented to fabric filters; (2) all owner/operators will 

choose to use repeat annual Method 9 opacity testing to monitor coal 

handling equipment subject to an opacity limit; and (3) annual Method 5 

performance testing for PM emissions from fabric filters will be 

conducted.  Many owners/operators are likely to elect to use less 

expensive controls.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.
