EPA should
clarify the "Confidentiality" section of the justification
statement. It is not clear exactly what information will be kept
confidential. As it is currently written, the last sentence seems
to contradict the paragraph above it. . Also, the discussion on
small business is ludicrous. It may be true that the actual time
spent by a small business is less than that expended by a large
business. However, this "smaller burden" may still represent a
proportionately greater effort for a small business. This section
is an embarrassment and should be completely rewritten!! . EPA
should also explain succinctly how this report relates to the othe
pretreatment information requirements.
