supporting analyses aimed at identifying new pollutants of concern and identifying wastewater discharges in industrial categories that may not be currently regulated by effluent limitations guidelines and standards. EPA’s 2011, 2012 and 2013 Annual Review Reports are a part of the Annual Review record and can be found at http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/ lawsguidance/cwa/304m/index.cfm.

C. Public Comments

EPA also considers public comments and information submitted by stakeholders in response to the Effluent Limitations Guidelines Program Plan, and submitted in response to specific solicitations made in this Notice (see Request for Comment and Information below). A summary of the public comments and stakeholder input on the Preliminary 2012 Plan is provided in the Final 2012 Plan and a detailed listing of all commenters, and the subjects upon which they commented, is provided in the 2012 Annual Review Report. All submitted comment letters, attachments and information are made a part of the record for the Effluent Guidelines Plan and are publicly accessible at www.regulations.gov. D. Requests for Public Comment and Information

For the Preliminary 2014 Effluent Limitations Guidelines Plan, EPA requests comments and information on the following topics: 1. Data Sources and Methodologies—In General

EPA solicits comments on whether it used the correct evaluation factors, criteria, and data sources in conducting its 2012 and 2013 Annual Reviews and in developing the Plans. EPA also solicits comment on other data sources EPA might use in its annual reviews and biennial planning process. 2. The Preliminary 2014 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan

EPA solicits comments on its Preliminary 2014 Plan, including the data and information used to support the findings, actions and conclusions as stated in the Preliminary 2014 Plan. Specifically, EPA solicits public comment and stakeholder input, data and information on:

(a) Study of Centralized Waste Treatment (‘‘CWT’’) facilities. EPA has decided to conduct a study of CWT facilities accepting oil and gas extraction wastewater. EPA solicits data and information related to the extent to which CWT facilities accept such wastewater, available treatment technologies (and their associated costs), discharge characteristics, financial characteristics of CWT facilities, the environmental impacts of discharges from CWT facilities, as well as any other information believed to be relevant to EPA’s study of this issue.

(b) Study of Petroleum Refineries. EPA plans to initiate a study of Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 419). EPA specifically solicits data and information on the discharge of metals and dioxin from petroleum refineries, including for example, the source(s) of these contaminants, either in crude oil sources or in the refining process, the effects of new air pollution controls on wastewater discharges at refineries, and information on current and future trends in oil refining processes. EPA also solicits data and information on
current wastewater treatment technology performance at petroleum refineries, as well as any other information believed to be relevant to EPA’s study of this issue.

(c) Preliminary Category Review of Metal Finishing. EPA plans to continue a preliminary category review of the Metal Finishing point source category (40 CFR Part 433). EPA solicits data and information regarding the discharge and treatment of metals, particularly chromium, nickel, and zinc, in addition to cadmium, copper, lead, silver and any others, to publicly owned treatment works (‘‘POTWs’’) by metal finishers, as well as any other information believed to be relevant to EPA’s review.

(d) Nanomaterials manufacturing and formulating. EPA is collecting data and information on the potential industrial wastewater discharge hazards associated with nanomaterials manufacturing and formulating. EPA requests public comment and stakeholder input relating to any information or data available on the wastewater hazards and discharges associated with the manufacture of nanomaterials and their use in manufacturing or formulating products, as well as any other information believed to be relevant. 3. Innovation and Technology in the Effluent Guidelines Program

As it did in the Preliminary 2012 Effluent Guidelines Plan, EPA is again requesting public comment and ideas on the subject of technology innovation. EPA seeks public input and comment on the following questions and related themes:

(a) Are there new, innovative pollution control or pollution prevention technologies that can be used by any of the existing 57 categories of industry with effluent limitations guidelines? (b) Are there innovative manufacturing approaches that can be used by industries to reduce or prevent their wastewater discharges?

(c) How can EPA’s effluent limitations guidelines program enhance technology transfer to catalyze and harness innovation to solve industrial wastewater problems, both now and in the future?

(d) How can EPA better foster consideration of innovative technologies through the effluent guidelines planning process?
