Small Business:
The absolute burden may indeed be lower for a small business, but
the burden relative to the organization's size may be quite
substantial. Subsequent submissions should examine this point. .
Future submissions should also show how EPA determined that 80
hours is necessary to prepare a baseline monitoring report. . EPA
should submit a correction/change sheet so that OMB's inventory
shows the 1985 burden for this report, NOT an average of the next
thre years. If the burden hours change in years 2 or 3 of the
clearance, E should submit correction/change sheets to adjust OMB's
inventory. . Please submit a letter by January 31, 1985 to the
OMB/OIRA Desk Office for Water explaining why the pollutant
measurement requirements of Section 403.12(b)(5) must be so
specific and why they cannot provide t flexibility of Section
403.12(b)(5)(vii). In particular, why specify required techniques
in this regulation and why not tailor the measurin requirements a
POTW may require when it submits a pretreatment program for
approval?
