What this form is

The owner or operator describes food preparation, types of food, appliances, containers, and dishwashing plans, and attests that the facility will not produce fats, oils, and grease. The form also says a grease trap will be required if business conditions change and cause excessive discharge, and that it does not exempt any part of the Uniform Plumbing Code.
