Categorical standards and requirements applicable to industrial sources that began construction after the publication of the proposed pretreatment standards for that industrial category (see individual standards at 40 CFR Parts 405-471) or on a date specifically provided in promulgation of the pretreatment standard.\n\n2. Pretreatment Standards for New Sources is defined at CWA section 307(c). PSNS are national, uniform, technology-based standards that apply to dischargers to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) from specific industrial categories (i.e., indirect dischargers). They are designed to prevent the discharges of pollutants that pass through, or interfere with, or are otherwise incompatible with the operation of POTWs. The Agency considers the same factors in promulgating PSNS as it considers in promulgating NSPS.",
