The purpose of this notice is to estab lish final effluent limitations guidelines for existing sources and standards of performance and pretreatment stand ards for new sources in the asbestos manufacturing category of point sources, by amending 40 CFR Chapter I, Sub chapter N, to add a new Part 427. This final rulemaking is promulgated pur suant to sections 301. 304 (b) and (c), 306 (b) and (c)fl and 307(c) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, (the Act); 33 U.S.C. 1251,1311, 1314 (b )and (c), 1316 (b) and (c), and 1317(c); 86 Stat. 816 et seq.; Pub. L. 92-500. Regulations regarding, cooling water intake structures for all categories of point sources under section 316(b) of the Act will be promulgated in 40 CFR 402. In addition, the EPA is simultaneously proposing a separate provision which ap pears in the proposed rules section of the Federal Register, stating the appli cation of the limitations and standards set forth below to users of publicly owned treatment works which are subject to pretreatment standards under section 307(b) of the Act. The basis of that pro posed regulation is set forth in the asso ciated notice of proposed rulemaking. The legal basis, methodology and fac tual conclusions which support promul gation of this regulation were set forth in substantial detail in the notice of public review procedures published August 6, 1973 (38 FR 21202) and in the notice of proposed rulemaking for the asbestoscement pipe, asbestos-cement sheet, as bestos paper (starch binder), asbestos paper (elastomeric binder), asbestos millboard, asbestos roofing products, and asbestos floor tile subcategories. In ad dition, the regulations as proposed were supported by two other documents: (1) the document entitled "Development Document for Proposed Effluent Limita tions Guidelines and New Source Per formance Standards for the Building, Construction and Paper Segment of the Asbestos Manufacturing Point Source Category" (October 1973). and (2) the document entitled "Economic Analysis of Proposed Effluent Guidelines, the As bestos Products Manufacturing Industry EPA agrees with this comment, how (September 1973), Both of these docu ever.

(7) A question was raised with respect to the logic for different ratios of daily to monthly limitations employed In the various subcategorics. Those numbers were based on the data available on raw waste loads and treat ment efficiencies, and the fluctuations normally experienced in each subcate gory. The manufacturing of asbestos- cement products produced greater fluctuations in raw loads than the other subcatftgories. The regulations therefore reflect this finding, the ratio of daily maximum to monthly average limitations are higher for the asbestos-cement pipe and asbestos-cement sheet subcategories than the other subcategories with allow able discharges. (b> Revisions of the proposed reputa tions prior to promulgation. As a result of public comments, continuing review and evaluation of the proposed regulation by EPA, the following changes have been made in the regulation. (1) Sections 427.21, 427.31, 427.41, 427.51, 427.61, and 427.71 entitled "Spe cialized Definitions" now include refer ences to general definitions and methods of analysis in 40 CFR 401 which reduces the need for some specialized definitions in this regulation.
