Note 1
: The Environmental Protection Agency has
				  suspended the requirements of
				  40
				  CFR 122.21(g)(7)(ii)(A) and
				  Table I of Appendix D as they apply to certain industrial categories. The
				  suspensions are as follows:
a. At 46
				FR 2046, Jan. 8, 1981, the Environmental Protection Agency suspended until
				further notice
				40
				CFR 122.21(g)(7)(ii)(A) as
				it applies to coal mines.
b. At 46
				FR 22585, Apr. 20, 1981, the Environmental Protection Agency suspended until
				further notice
				40
				CFR 122.21(g)(7)(ii)(A) and
				the corresponding portions of Item V-C of the NPDES application Form 2c as they
				apply to:
1. Testing and reporting for all
				four organic fractions in the Greige Mills Subcategory of the Textile Mills
				industry (Subpart C--Low water use processing of 40 CFR part 410 ), and testing
				and reporting for the pesticide fraction in all other subcategories of this
				industrial category.
2. Testing and
				reporting for the volatile, base/neutral and pesticide fractions in the Base
				and Precious Metals Subcategory of the Ore Mining and Dressing industry
				(subpart B of 40 CFR part 440 ), and testing and reporting for all four
				fractions in all other subcategories of this industrial category.
3. Testing and reporting for all four GC/MS
				fractions in the Porcelain Enameling industry.
