OMB 2040-0287
This ICR addresses the information requirements in the Final rule for ELGs for the Dental Category. EPA is finalizing standards under the Clean Water Act for discharges of pollutants into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) from certain dental practices that involve the discharge of amalgam. The rule would require affected dentists to control mercury discharges based on amalgam separators and best management practices. EPA is also amending selected parts of the General Pretreatment Regulations to streamline oversight requirements for the dental sector. Dentists will be required to provide a one-time certification. Control Authorities will receive and keep these records.
The latest form for Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Standards for the Dental Category (Renewal) expires 2021-01-31 and is listed under ICR 201612-2040-001.
