Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 31, 2023 / Notices
received from the public. EPA received
32 unique letters on Preliminary Plan 15
that generally provided suggestions for
improving certain analyses as well as
comments for EPA to consider as it
continues work on the detailed studies
and ongoing rulemakings discussed in
the Preliminary Plan. EPA considered
public comments and made appropriate
revisions. EPA did not change course on
any substantive areas of ELG work as a
result.
Plan 15 provides updates on EPA’s
reviews of industrial wastewater
discharges and treatment technologies
discussed in Preliminary Plan 15 and
presents EPA’s 2021 annual review of
effluent guidelines and pretreatment
standards. With this Plan, EPA
continued to focus on and evaluate the
extent and nature of Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
discharges and assess opportunities for
limiting those discharges from multiple
industrial categories, as outlined in
EPA’s 2021 PFAS Strategic Roadmap,
found here: https://www.epa.gov/pfas/
pfas-strategic-roadmap-epascommitments-action-2021-2024.
Plan 15 announces that EPA, pending
resource availability, intends to initiate
one new rulemaking and several new
studies. After collecting and analyzing
data, EPA has determined that revisions
to the effluent limitations guidelines
and pretreatment standards for the
Landfills Category (40 CFR part 445) are
warranted, considering PFAS found in
landfill leachate. Plan 15 also
announces EPA’s intent to expand the
detailed study of the Textile Mills
Category (40 CFR part 410) to gather
information on the use, treatment, and
discharge of PFAS from the industry.
Plan 15 also announces EPA’s intent to
initiate a Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTW) Influent Study focusing
on collecting nationwide data pertaining
to industrial discharges of PFAS to
POTWs, including categories recently
reviewed. Finally, Plan 15 announces
EPA’s intent to undertake a detailed
study of the Concentrated Animal
Feeding Operations (CAFO) Category
(40 CFR part 412), which will focus on
collecting further information to enable
the agency to make an informed,
reasoned decision whether to undertake
rulemaking to revise the ELGs for
CAFOs.
Plan 15 also announces that EPA is
not pursuing further regulatory action
for the Electrical and Electronic
Components (E&EC) Category (40 CFR
part 469) at this time but will continue
monitoring this category for PFAS
discharge data through the POTW
Influent Study. Plan 15 announces that
EPA will also continue to monitor PFAS

applications and discharges from the
Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Category
(40 CFR part 430) and airports. The
agency intends to undertake the actions
outlined in this Plan and summarized
above. The commencement and pace of
these activities depend on the agency’s
Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations and
operating plan.
Finally, Plan 15 provides updates
related to several actions that are
included in EPA’s Regulatory Agenda,
including the Steam Electric Power
Generating Category rulemaking to
strengthen certain wastewater pollution
discharge limitations for coal fired
power plants that use steam to generate
electricity; Meat and Poultry Products
Category to address nutrient discharges;
Organic Chemicals, Plastics & Synthetic
Fibers Category to address PFAS
discharges; and Metal Finishing and
Electroplating Categories to address
PFAS discharges.
