concerning the meaning of Section 301(/) are far from com-

EPA will not be unduly burdened if the sstuation of every

not available for new source direct or indirect dis-
chargers because such plants can be planned and con-

chargers should be treated in the way. On the
contrary, as previously noted, indirect dis-
chargers have just as FDF variances
