本文主要讨论1994年2月10日提出并于1996年5月14日颁布的信息收集规则（ICR）的内容。ICR有三个主要组成部分:适用性监测和治疗研究、DBPs和相关参数的监测要求以及微生物监测要求。此处对ICR各部分的一般要求进行了审查，但并非所有细节都能给出。美国环境保护局（USEPA）已经开发了大量的教育材料，以帮助水务公司遵守ICR。包括9个参考文献和表格。

This article focuses on the content of the Information Collection Rule (ICR) proposed February 10, 1994, and promulgated May 14, 1996. The ICR has three major components: applicability monitoring and treatment studies, monitoring requirements for DBPs and related parameters, and microbial monitoring requirements. The general requirements for each component of the ICR are reviewed here, but not all details can be presented. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has developed extensive educational materials to assist water utilities in complying with the ICR. Includes 9 references, tables.
