RE: ABC Coke/Enclosure 1 Deadline Extension Request
Thanks for letting me know. I understand your situation. We are working on a response to the request for extension to the Enclosure 1 deadline along with other items raised in in our last meeting. Hopefully, we will have a response soon.

Subject: ABC Coke/Enclosure 1 Deadline Extension Request
 
Good afternoon, Dr. Jones, 
 
Like most of the other coke plants, ABC Coke is not expecting to have Enclosure 1 completed by the current deadline.  Based on our assessment of the effort, time, and resources required to provide the most complete and accurate Enclosure 1 data possible, we humbly request the deadline be extended to at least September 30th. 
 
As you're aware, ABC was not selected to participate in the 2016 ICR, so we are completing this Enclosure 1 from scratch.  Furthermore, ABC's Environmental Dept. is small, consisting of only four people.  In addition to our normal workload, we are all working diligently on Enclosures 1 and 2.  For Q3, we have reports to prepare, baghouse, stack, and RATA tests to perform, annual HAZWOPER training to attend, as well as annual Title V and NPDES inspections to pass.  Simultaneously, we have also had to find and hire an air monitoring contractor for the ICR's first required deliverable, then submit the draft interior/fenceline monitoring plan (which still has unresolved power supply and security issues).  To further hinder our efforts, one member of the department has been out on leave for the majority of August and working part-time, another is expecting her first child in October, and the last is a new hire still in training.  
 
Given all these factors, ABC would greatly benefit from additional time to submit Enclosure 1.  
 
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
 
Regards,
 
Jay Cornelius
