The permittee was found to have met the criteria necessary to pass the financial test in ac- cordance with the requirements of 40 CFR §144. 52 (a) (7) . Within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year, the permittee shall submit updated financial assurance information for plugging and abandonment provided in this permit. The infor- mation submitted to the Director must consist of the following three (3) items: 1. A letter signed by the owner's or operator's financial officer and worded as specified in 40 CFR §144.70 (f) ; and 2 . A copy of the independent certified public accountant's report on examination of the owner's or operator's finan- cial statements for the latest completed fiscal year; and 3 . A special report from the owner's or operator's independent certified public accountant to the owner or operator stat- ing that: (a) He has compared the data which the letter from the chief financial officer specifies as having been derived from the independently audited, year-end finan- cial statements for the latest fiscal year with the amounts in such financial statements; and (b) In connection with that procedure, no matters came to his attention which caused him to believe that the specific data should be adjusted. The permittee must maintain a written cost estimate, in current dollars, for the plugging and abandonment plan as specified in 40 CFR §146. 10 and according to the plan contained in Attachment Q. The latest cost estimates must be kept on file at the facility during the operating life of the facility and shall be available for inspection. The permittee must revise the plugging and aban- donment cost estimate whenever a change in the plugging and aban- donment plan increases the cost of plugging and abandonment. The revised plugging and abandonment estimate must be adjusted for inflation. The inflation factor is prescribed in 40 CFR §144. 67 (b) . 28
