SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
required by 40 CFR part 148, Lyondell

injection by the Lyondell Channelview
Plant, of the specific restricted
hazardous wastes identified in this
exemption reissuance, into Class I
hazardous waste injection Wells WDW–
148, WDW–162, and WDW–438 when it
is drilled in the future, until December
31, 2050, unless EPA moves to
terminate this exemption under
provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. Additional
conditions included in this final
decision may be reviewed by contacting
the Region 6 Ground Water/UIC Section.
As required by 40 CFR 148.22(b) and
124.10, a public notice was issued
September 13, 2022. The public
comment period closed on October 28,

Abstract: As mentioned in Effluent
Guidelines Program Plan 15, published
in January 2023, EPA plans to conduct
a rulemaking to address Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
discharges from a subset of facilities in
the Metal Finishing and Electroplating
point source categories. Specifically,
facilities performing certain chromium
operations that employ hexavalent
chromium (hereafter referred to as
‘‘chrome finishing facilities’’), including
chromium plating, chromium
anodizing, chromic acid etching, and
chromate conversion coating that use or
have used PFAS to control hexavalent
chromium emissions. These facilities
are expected to be the predominant
sources of PFAS discharges in the Metal
Finishing and Electroplating point
source categories. Publicly available
data on such facilities, including
whether they perform chrome finishing
operations and use and discharge of
PFAS at the national scale, are limited.
EPA reviewed the 2017 National
Emissions Inventory (NEI), Compliance
and Emissions Data Reporting Interface
(CEDRI), Environmental Compliance
History Online (ECHO), and Integrated
Compliance Information System (ICIS),
as well as data collected by several state
environmental agencies. However, none
of these data sources provide a complete
population of chromium finishing
facilities in the United States nor do
they provide the detailed information
on specific facility operations (including
use of hexavalent chromium or PFAS),
generation and management of
wastewater, or wastewater
characteristics necessary for the
complex technical and economic
analyses required for the review and
development of ELGs. Therefore, this
questionnaire and wastewater sampling
program are necessary for EPA to
determine if the current regulations
remain appropriate and to develop new
regulations if they are deemed to be
warranted. EPA has identified and
compiled mailing addresses for
approximately 2,035 potential
chromium finishing facilities in the
United States. All active metal finishing
and electroplating facilities that conduct
or have conducted one or more of the
specified chromium finishing
operations will be required to complete
the questionnaire.
Form numbers: 6100–079.
Respondents/affected entities: All
chrome finishing facilities in the U.S.
will receive the questionnaire and no
