Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart M) were proposed on December 9, 1991, promulgated on September 22, 1993, and most recently-amended on July 11, 2008. These regulations apply to existing and new dry-cleaning facilities that use perchloroethylene (PCE). New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Jul 17, 2019 Jkt 247001 assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart M. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Dry cleaning facilities that use perchloroethylene. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart M). Estimated number of respondents: 28,020 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally. Total estimated burden: 1,590,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $189,000,000 (per year), which includes $948,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of existing major sources. The EPA’s records indicate that there are currently 20 major sources subject to this NESHAP; the previous estimate of 12 major sources was based on the final amendments to the NESHAP in 2008. There is also an adjustment increase in operation and maintenance costs due to the increase in the number of respondents. Finally, there is an adjustment increase in labor costs to account for costs from major source facilities operated by Federal employees versus the private sector.
