Here's a reference to one thread on the topic: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-May/009527.html
and a similar post about requirements: http://www.karan.org/blog/2013/12/15/where-is-the-i686-in-rhel-7/
Those posts are deprecated for a long time. A more interesting link is https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/i386 which points to the i686 build of CentOS 7 ( residing below http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/ and maintained in pair with the regular x86_64 tree )
One requirement here would be that epel use centos for (some or all) buildroots instead of stock rhel. I'm not aware of any movement in that direction (yet).
