* 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.
