* States that implement pretreatment programs for their POTWs must evaluate the need to
revise local limits once every five years. Therefore, the number of respondents is equal to the
number of States that implement pretreatment programs for their POTWs (5). The number of
evaluations/responses per year is equal to the average number of pretreatment programs in
each State divided by five to obtain a number of average annual responses.
