The information collection burden
resulting from the promulgation of the IESWTR, in the first 3 years
after promulgation, involves start-up activities for turbidity
monitoring of individual filters by PWS (using surface water or
ground water under the direct influence of surface water as a
source) serving at least 10,000 people, monitoring and consulting

start-up for implementation activities, review, and consultation by
States. The disinfection benchmarking process helps to determine
the current level of dis- infection practices and microbial
protection.
