**2)** A pop-up box will appear asking you to select the number of SMF-3 or emission savings you would like to retire. If you would like to retire all these SMF-3, select "MAX". Additionally, you will be asked to input the year in which you will claim these emission savings and whether the name of your company should be included on the Public Retirement Table.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://energy-web-foundation.gitbook.io/katalist/guidelines/how-to-use-katalist/retiring-smf-3-for-your-company-ff-and-co.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
