Terms of Clearance: This ICR is for the proposed rule implementing the Recommendations of the Domestic Sewage Study and is not approved for the following reason (1) EPA has failed to estimate the burden of POTWs conducting sample analysis as was done for Industrial Users in Exhibit 8 & 9, whether in house or contracted as opposed to collecting the sample OR needs to justify why it is excluded (only considered a cost-see Exh. 7 col. 4-6 and (2) EPA should give additional consideration to reducing monitorin frequencies for IUs or POTWs with good compliance records or discharge that will not affect POTW operation, pretreatment standards, or water quality standards. In addition, Exhibit 7 incorrectly states hourly costs as $9.67 when it should be $15.37 (p 31) and EPA should explain the basis for its IU metal and organics sampling burden estimate of 10 and 33 hours respectively (Exh. 8). As always, EPA should give careful consideration to public comment on the proposal that identify duplicative requirements or less burdensome approaches that satisfy EPA's information needs. Any comments concerning paperwork issues should be addressed in the final revised ICR.
