Terms of Clearance: This ICR is approved for three years. During ICR review, EPA indicated that there are several new requirements under the Pretreatment Program for specific industry categories, such as for toxic organic management plans and various other pollution prevention planning and certification requirements that have not been specifically itemized in this ICR and for which an updated burden estimate is needed. EPA is in the process of preparing burden estimates for these items, and will submit a revised burden estimate by Nov 30, 2004. In the meantime, this ICR authorizes collection of this information, consistent with the new regulatory requirements, as specified in EPA's pretreatment regulations. There are also several other adjustments to the burden estimates, including a reduction in the estimated number of respondents, that will also be reflected in the revised burden estimates submitted in November.
