.we <br /> Attachment R <br /> Financial Responsibility <br /> The permittee has submitted a financial statement as demonstra- <br /> tion of financial responsibility. The permittee was found to <br /> have met the criteria necessary to pass the financial test in ac- <br /> cordance with the requirements of 40 CFR §144 . 52 (a) (7) . <br /> Within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year, the <br /> permittee shall submit updated financial assurance information <br /> for plugging and abandonment provided in this permit. The infor- <br /> mation submitted to the Director must consist of the following <br /> three (3) items: <br /> 1. A letter signed by the owner's or operator's financial <br /> officer and worded as specified in 40 CFR §144 .70 (f) , <br /> 2 . A copy of the independent certified public accountant' s <br /> report on examination of the owner's or operator' s finan- <br /> cial statements for the latest completed fiscal year, and <br /> 3 . A special report from the owner's or operator's independent <br /> certified public accountant to the owner or operator stat- <br /> ing that: <br /> (a) He has compared the data which the letter from the <br /> chief financial officer specifies as having been <br /> derived from the independently audited, year-end finan- <br /> cial statements for the latest fiscal year with the <br /> amounts in such financial statements; and <br /> (b) In connection with that procedure, no matters came to <br /> his attention which caused him to believe that the <br /> specific data should be adjusted. <br /> The permittee must maintain a written cost estimate, in current <br /> dollars, for the plugging and abandonment plan as specified in 40 <br /> CFR §146. 10 and according to the plan contained in Attachment Q. <br /> The latest cost estimates must be kept on file at the facility <br /> during the operating life of the facility and shall be available <br /> for inspection. The permittee must revise the plugging and aban- <br /> donment cost estimate whenever a change in the plugging and aban- <br /> donment plan increases the cost of plugging and abandonment. The <br /> revised plugging and abandonment estimate must be adjusted for <br /> inflation. The inflation factor is prescribed in 40 CFR <br /> §144 . 62 (b) . <br /> 30 <br />
