As announced in the Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 15 at 88 FR 6258 (January 31, 2023) and as part of the EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap: EPA’s Commitments to Action 2021-2024, under this action, the EPA is revising the Metal Finishing Effluent Limitation Guidelines at 40 CFR part 433 to address discharges of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in wastewater from chromium electroplating facilities. With OMB-approved ICR Number 2723.01, the EPA conducted an electronic survey in Winter, 2024 through which the agency obtained data essential to update the Metal Finishing Point Source Category ELGs and Electroplating Point Source Category ELGs in order to establish regulations for PFAS in wastewater discharges from chromium finishing facilities. This collection effort is necessary because there are limited national data on PFAS use and discharge, PFAS removal has been limited to a handful of case studies, and there is no currently available data set from which a full population of chromium finishing facilities can be derived
