Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from the EPA on “Clean Water Act Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for PFAS Manufacturers Under the Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Point Source Category”. An advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published on March 17th, 2021.
According to the abstract for the Fall 2023 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“As announced in the Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 15 and as part of the EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap: EPA’s Commitments to Action 2021-2024, EPA is revising the existing Organic Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) (40 CFR part 414) to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) discharges from facilities manufacturing PFAS.”
I will probably not cover this NPRM in any detail when it is
published, but it will certainly be mentioned in the appropriate Short Takes
post in this blog.
