1) Editor's Note - "Submit a Free RFP for Stack Testing Services Online"

Hello Readers,

Good news! ActiveSET.org now supports an online form to submit a FREE Request for Proposals (RFP) for stack testing services. Emission source owners, managers and start-up engineers are already submitting RFPs. The RFP form is concise, easy to use and takes 2-3 minutes.

Here's how it works: When ActiveSET.org receives your RFP, it is uploaded
to a secure area where it can only be accessed by a select number of stack testing firms, the "RFP Alert Group". Your RFP remains here for a week or more to give the RFP Alert Group the advantage of responding first.

Your RFP is then moved to a public access page for the remainder of the 45
days - but only if you want it to. Most likely, you will get all the bids you need from the RFP Alert Group. (You can close your RFP at anytime.)

Prior to awarding the contract, return to ActiveSET.org to review the Directory Profiles of the testing firms you are considering.

Submitting a FREE RFP takes minutes and saves you a lot of time and expense. To see for yourself visit: www.activeset.org/rfp/rfpsubmit.htm

Have a great day.

6) Coming Soon - Illustrated Methods on CD
Due to overwhelming request, ActiveSET.org is preparing a CD
containing all of our illustrated U.S. EPA methods for stack
testing firms to add to their compliance reports. The illustrations
will be formatted for two uses:
- "jpeg" for high resolution, color printouts
- "gif" for electronic or "paperless" compliance reports (regulatory
agencies are leaning towards this).

We are lining up a few stack testing firms to try out a free beta version of the CD prior to it's release later this summer.
