Sec. 430.27  Pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).

    Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this 
subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works 
must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and must achieve the following 
pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).
    (a)(1) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to 
each fiber line that is a new source, unless the indirect discharger 
discloses to the pretreatment control authority in a report submitted 
under 40 CFR 403.12 that it uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at 
that fiber line:

\a\ ``b This regulation does not specify this type of limitation for this pollutant; however, pretreatment control
  authorities may do so as appropriate.

    (b) The following pretreatment standards apply to all new source 
indirect dischargers, regardless of when they commenced discharge, in 
accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme. An indirect 
discharger is not required to meet these pretreatment standards if it 
certifies to the pretreatment control authority that it is not using 
these compounds as biocides. In cases when POTWs find it necessary to 
impose mass-based effluent limitations, equivalent mass limitations are 
provided as guidance:
