Dear Sir or Madam:
Enclosed please find two completed EPA Forms 7610-29, "Phase n NOx Averaging Plan" for thecalendar year 2003. The plans identify the boilers that FirstEnergy is including in two separate NOx averagingpools for the FirstEnergy System
Pursuant to 40 CFR Part 76 Section 76.11(d)(1)(i)(C), the rule mandates, for all NOx averaging plans,that where the units in an averaging plan show that they meet the group compliance requirement, then all unitsin the averaging plan are deemed to be in compliance with their individual unit alternative contemporaneousemission limitations and annual heat input limits.
Should you require any further infonnation regarding this matter, please call me at (330)384-3704 or Dale A. Kanary at (330) 384-5744.

of a Title IV Acid Rain Permit for:
Unit #7
General Terms & Conditions
1. Statement of Basis
In accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 3704 and Titles IV and V of the CleanAir Act, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issues this pennit pursuant to OhioAdministrative Code Chapters 3745-103 and 3745-77.
2. Sulfur Dioxide (SOz) Allowance Allocations
