Approval is for
one year because this and other information collection requirements
of the NPDES regulations need to be consolidated and reviewed
jointly upon publication of the NPRM revising the NPDES regulations
which is planned for mid-1984. A single OMB control number will be
issued at that time instead of the multiplicity of control numbers
currently in existence for the NPDES program.
