Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing 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 existing sources (PSES).
(a) The following pretreatment standards must be attained on or
before April 16, 2001.
(1) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect
dischargers in the calcium-, magnesium-, or sodium-based sulfite pulp
segment:

\a\ These limitations do not apply with respect to fiber lines operated by any indirect discharger that
discloses to the pretreatment control authority, at the time it submits the report required under 40 CFR
403.12(b), (d), or (e), that it uses a TCF bleaching process at that fiber line.
b ``c This regulation does not specify this type of limitation for this pollutant; however, pretreatment control
authorities may do so as appropriate.
(ii) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to each
new source fiber line operated by an indirect discharger producing
ammonium-based sulfite pulps if the indirect discharger discloses to the
pretreatment control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR
403.12(b) that it uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at that fiber
line:

(b) The following pretreatment standards apply to each indirect
discharger, in accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme,
