Small Business: The absolute burden may indeed be lower for a small business, but the burden relative to the organization's size may be quite substantial. Subsequent submissions should examine this point. . Future submissions should also show how EPA determined that 80 hours is necessary to prepare a baseline monitoring report. . EPA should submit a correction/change sheet so that OMB's inventory shows the 1985 burden for this report, NOT an average of the next thre years. If the burden hours change in years 2 or 3 of the clearance, E should submit correction/change sheets to adjust OMB's inventory. . Please submit a letter by January 31, 1985 to the OMB/OIRA Desk Office for Water explaining why the pollutant measurement requirements of Section 403.12(b)(5) must be so specific and why they cannot provide t flexibility of Section 403.12(b)(5)(vii). In particular, why specify required techniques in this regulation and why not tailor the measurin requirements a POTW may require when it submits a pretreatment program for approval?
