# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Proposed rule; correction.

# SUMMARY:

                        On December 27, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for dry cleaning facilities using perchloroethylene (PCE) as the cleaning solvent (PCE Dry Cleaning NESHAP). The proposed amendments addressed the results of the technology review for the PCE Dry Cleaning NESHAP, in accordance with section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action is being issued to correct a typographical error which stated that we would hold a virtual public hearing if anyone contacted us requesting a public hearing on or before January 11, 2022 (                        *i.e.,*                         15 days after publication of the proposed rule). However, that same notice also said that if requested, the virtual hearing would be held on January 11, 2022. Logistically, we cannot have the same date for both actions because we need to know several days ahead of time whether stakeholders request a hearing so that we have sufficient time to plan accordingly and make all the necessary arrangements. For most proposed rules, the EPA states that if anyone contacts us requesting a public hearing on or before a date five days after publication of the proposed rule, that the EPA will hold such public hearing on a date 15 days after publication of such rule. To correct this error, in this correction notice, EPA states that if anyone contacts us requesting a public hearing on or before January 10, 2022 the virtual hearing will be held on January 20, 2022. As                               ( print page 422)                            described below, several other dates regarding the preparations for such hearing and the deadline for submitting public comments have also been revised accordingly.                    

# DATES:

                        Comments on the proposed rule that was published in the                         **Federal Register**                         on December 27, 2021 (86 FR 73207) must be received on or before February 22, 2022.                    

*Public hearing:*                         If anyone contacts us requesting a public hearing on or before January 10, 2022, we will hold a virtual public hearing. See                         **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**                         for information on requesting and registering for a public hearing.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

For the sake of clarity, the EPA is reiterating information concerning the public hearing and comment processes, with the correct dates provided below.

*Participation in virtual public hearing.*                     Please note that because of current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, as well as state and local orders for social distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19, the EPA cannot hold in-person public meetings at this time.                

                    To request a virtual public hearing, contact the public hearing team at (888) 372-8699 or by email at                     *SPPDpublichearing@epa.gov.*                     If requested, the virtual hearing will be held on January 20, 2022. The hearing will convene at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and will conclude at 3:00 p.m. ET. The EPA may close a session 15 minutes after the last pre-registered speaker has testified if there are no additional speakers. The EPA will announce further details at                     *https://www.epa.gov/​stationary-sources-air-pollution/​dry-cleaning-facilities-national-perchloroethylene-air-emission.*

                    If a public hearing is requested, the EPA will begin pre-registering speakers for the hearing upon publication of this document in the                     **Federal Register**                    . To register to speak at the virtual hearing, please use the online registration form available at                     *https://www.epa.gov/​stationary-sources-air-pollution/​dry-cleaning-facilities-national-perchloroethylene-air-emission*                     or contact the public hearing team at (888) 372-8699 or by email at                     *SPPDpublichearing@epa.gov.*                     The last day to pre-register to speak at the hearing will be January 18, 2022. Prior to the hearing, the EPA will post a general agenda that will list pre-registered speakers in approximate order at:                     *https://www.epa.gov/​stationary-sources-air-pollution/​dry-cleaning-facilities-national-perchloroethylene-air-emission.*

The EPA will make every effort to follow the schedule as closely as possible on the day of the hearing; however, please plan for the hearings to run either ahead of schedule or behind schedule.

                    Each commenter will have 5 minutes to provide oral testimony. The EPA encourages commenters to provide the EPA with a copy of their oral testimony electronically (via email) by emailing it to                     *brian.storey@epa.gov.*                     The EPA also recommends submitting the text of your oral testimony as written comments to the rulemaking docket.                

The EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations but will not respond to the presentations at that time. Written statements and supporting information submitted during the comment period will be considered with the same weight as oral testimony and supporting information presented at the public hearing.

                    Please note that any updates made to any aspect of the hearing will be posted online at                     *https://www.epa.gov/​stationary-sources-air-pollution/​dry-cleaning-facilities-national-perchloroethylene-air-emission.*                     While the EPA expects the hearing to go forward as set forth above, please monitor our website or contact the public hearing team at (888) 372-8699 or by email at                     *SPPDpublichearing@epa.gov*                     to determine if there are any updates. The EPA does not intend to publish a document in the                     **Federal Register**                     announcing updates.                

If you require the services of a translator or special accommodation such as audio description, please pre-register for the hearing with the public hearing team and describe your needs by January 12, 2022. The EPA may not be able to arrange accommodations without advanced notice.
