This
standard
requires
that
all
facilities
submit
reports
on
periods
of
noncompliance.
However,

we
assume
that
EPA
will
only
review
those
reports
that
include
periods
of
noncompliance.

We
estimate
that
only
20%
of
the
reports
will
include
periods
of
noncompliance.
The
remaining
80%
will
submit
reports
that
indicate
that
there
were
no
periods
of
noncompliance.
