Title: PRETREATMENT PROGRAM INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 03/25/1988
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/21/1987
Terms of Clearance: EPA shall accurately reeestimate the true burden imposed by the variou pretreatment requirements contained in this ICR before the submission the next renewal package in two years (the term of clearance). During this process, EPA should estimate all the burden associated with complying with the intent of the Clean Water Act including sampling above the Federal minimum that is not "customary or usual." Exclusion certain burden from the total estimate needs to be justified such that there is little doubt that the burden is directly or indirectly associated with complying with the Act. Since the regulations specify many one time sampling and reporting burdens during program development which have now been successfully completed and will not be imposed again, the approval reflects not onl an adjustment but the program decrease which occurred (or in this case a smaller program increase since the previous ICRs have expired). Exhibit 3 of the ICB when submitted should thus show the expiration of the 14 ICRs as program decreases and this ICR as a program increase. In general, EPA has done a good job of discussing and presenting the pretreatment program and how the 14 previous ICRs have been merged to form this one umbrella ICR. NOTE: When reestimating burden especially that above the Federal minim account for the monitoring frequencies outlined in relevant guidances.
