    Abstract: Owners and operators of perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities are required to comply with reporting Start Printed Page 24608and record keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as the applicable standards in 40 CFR part 63, subpart M. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.

    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: 28,012 (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: $167,000,000 (per year), which includes $947,000 in both annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.

    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in respondent labor hours in this ICR from the most-recently approved ICR. This is due to assuming all existing sources will have to re-familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. Additionally, there is an increase in the total capital and O&M cost due to the rounding of all calculated values to three significant digits.
