Title: Streamlining the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution 
Abstract: The National Pretreatment Program was established in 1972. The Office of Water is exploring ways to reduce federally mandated activities under the program that don't result in benefits to the environment and to improve program efficiencies. For example, this rule will consider appropriate exclusions or variable requirements for numerous smaller facilities that contribute insignificant amounts of pollutants.
