Abstract: Under the Clean Water Act 

(CWA), the EPA develops effluent 

limitations guidelines (ELGs) to limit 

pollutants discharged from industrial 

point source categories. The EPA 

initially promulgated the Textiles Mills 

ELGs in 1974 (39 FR 24736, July 5, 

1974) and amended the regulations in 

1977 (42 FR 26979, May 26, 1977) and 

1982 (47 FR 38810, September 2, 1982). 

Textiles mills receive and prepare 

fibers, transforming these materials into 

yarn, thread or webbing. Other mills 

convert yarns and webbing into fabric or 

related products and finish these 

materials. Many textile mills produce a 

final consumer product such as thread, 

yarn, fabric, hosiery, sheets, towels, and 

carpet. The current regulation covers 

wastewater discharges from textile mills 

which perform one or more of the 

following operations and discharge 

process wastewater directly to surface 

waters or indirectly to surface waters 

through publicly owned treatment 

works (POTWs): wool scouring, wool 

finishing, yarn and unfinished fabric 

manufacturing, woven fabric finishing, 

knit fabric finishing, carpet finishing, 

and nonwoven textile products of wool, 

cotton, synthetics, or blends of such 

fabrics. 

As announced in the Effluent 

Guidelines Program Plan 15 (88 FR 

6258, January 31, 2023), the EPA is 

continuing to evaluate the available data 

on types and concentrations of PFAS in 

wastewater discharged from textile 

mills. A questionnaire for the textile 

mills industry is necessary for the EPA 

to determine if the current regulations 

remain appropriate and, if warranted, to 

develop and propose new regulations. If 

new regulations are deemed to be 

warranted, the questionnaire is essential 

for the EPA to complete the detailed 

technical analysis necessary for the 

rulemaking. The EPA has identified and 

compiled mailing addresses for 

approximately 2,200 textile 

manufacturing facilities in the United 

States. A subsequent wastewater 

sampling program will require a subset 

of approximately 20 textile 

manufacturing facilities that completed 

the questionnaire to also collect 

wastewater samples and submit them to 

an EPA-contracted laboratory. 

Wastewater sampling data are critical 

for characterizing the wastewater 

generated and discharged by textile 

manufacturing facilities, as well as 

evaluating the effectiveness of pollution 

control practices and technologies to 

reduce or eliminate PFAS in discharges. 

Additional objectives of the 

questionnaire and sampling will be to 

confirm the current population of textile 

mills, estimate the volume of 

wastewater discharged from the 

industry, confirm which mills still use 

PFAS in their processes, and gather 

facility-specific information and data 

relevant to generation and discharge of 

PFAS-containing wastewater by the 

industry. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Up to 

2,243 textile mills in the U.S. will 

receive the questionnaire and no more 

than 20 facilities will be asked to 

conduct specific wastewater sampling. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (Clean Water Act section 

308). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,243 (total). 

Frequency of response: One-time data 

collection. 

Total estimated burden: 22,863 hours. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,615,788 (per 

year), which includes $10,576 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: This is a 

new data collection request and is a 

one-time temporary increase to the 

Agency’s burden.

Abstract: Clean Air Act section 182 

and EPA’s regulations (40 CFR part 51, 

subpart S) establish the requirements for 

state and local I/M programs that are 

included in state implementation plans 

(SIPs). To provide general oversight and 

support to these programs, EPA requires 

that state agencies with Basic and 

Enhanced I/M programs collect two 

varieties of reports for submission to the 

Agency: 

• An annual report providing general 

program operating data and summary 

statistics, addressing the program’s 

current design and coverage, a summary 

of testing data, enforcement program 

efforts, quality assurance and quality 

control efforts, and other miscellaneous 

information allowing for an assessment 

of the program’s relative effectiveness; 

and 

• A biennial report on any changes to 

the program over the two-year period 

and the impact of such changes, 

including any deficiencies discovered 

and corrections made or planned. 

General program effectiveness is 

determined by the degree to which a 

program misses, meets, or exceeds the 

emission reductions committed to in the 

state’s approved SIP, which, in turn, 

must meet or exceed the minimum 

emission reductions expected from the 

relevant performance standard, as 

promulgated under 40 CFR part 51, 

subpart S, in response to requirements 

established in section 182 of the Clean 

Air Act. This information is used by 

EPA to determine a program’s progress 

toward meeting requirements under 40 

CFR part 51, subpart S, and to provide 

background information in support of 

program evaluations. Additional 

information regarding the current 

renewal of this ICR as well as previous 

renewals can be found in Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0707. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: State 

I/M program managers. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR 51.366). 

Estimated number of respondents: 26 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

biennial. 

Total estimated burden: 2,236 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $165,776 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB.
