    (a) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 or 437.40(b), any new source 
subject to this subpart which combines treated or untreated wastes from 
subparts A, B, or C of this part may be subject to Multiple Wastestream

    (2) The discharger will notify its local control authority at the 
time of submitting its application for an individual control mechanism

Subcategory by submitting to the local control authority an initial 
certification statement as described in Sec. 437.41(a);
    (3) The discharger will submit to its local control authority a 
periodic certification statements as described in Sec. 437.41(b) once a

    (4) The discharger will maintain at the office of the facility and 
make available for inspection the on-site compliance paperwork as 
described in Sec. 437.41(c).
    (b) Combined waste receipts from subparts A, B and C of this part. 
(1) As provided in Sec. 437.47(a), any new source subject to this
