National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source

Categories: Perchloroethylene Dry

Cleaning Facilities; Notice of

Availability of Guidance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of

guidance.

SUMMARY: This action announces the

availability of guidance for the

implementation of the national emission

standards for hazardous air pollutants

(NESHAP) for perchloroethylene (PCE)

dry cleaning facilities promulgated in

the Federal Register on September 22,

1993. The NESHAP was promulgated to

minimize emissions of PCE, which has

been listed by EPA as a hazardous air

pollutant (HAP).

ADDRESSES: Docket. Docket Number A–

95–16, which contains the guidance

announced in this notice as Item

Number V–B–1, is available for public

inspection and copying between the

hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.,

Monday through Friday (except for

government holidays) at The Air and

Radiation Docket and Information

Center, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington,

DC 20460. Copies of documents may

also be copied from The Air and

Radiation Docket and Information

Center by calling (202) 260–7548. A

reasonable fee may be charged for

copying.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National

emission standards for hazardous air

pollutants (NESHAP) for

perchloroethylene (PCE) dry cleaning

facilities were promulgated on

September 22, 1993 (58 FR 49354), and

amended on December 20, 1993 (58 FR

66287), as 40 CFR Part 63, subpart M.

On December 20, 1993, the International

Fabricare Institute (IFI), a trade

association representing commercial

and industrial dry cleaners nationwide,

submitted a statement of issues to the

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of

Columbia Circuit that challenged the

NESHAP. The Agency subsequently

entered into a settlement agreement

with IFI to resolve IFI’s issues. The

settlement agreement between the

litigants calls for EPA to issue written

policy guidance concerning ‘‘episodic’’

exceedances of annual PCE

consumption levels set forth in the

NESHAP. The Agency has issued this

guidance entitled, ‘‘Settlement

Agreement on Litigation of National

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants for Perchloroethylene Dry

Cleaning Facilities,’’ which is available

in the docket and on EPA’s Technology

Transfer Network (TTN).

Anyone with a computer and a

modem can download the guidance

from the Clean Air Act Amendments

bulletin board (under ‘‘Recently Signed

Rules’’) of the TTN by calling (919) 541–

5742. For further information about how

to access the board, call (919) 541–5384.

40 CFR Part 82

[FRL–5518–1]

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of extension of stay.

SUMMARY: This action temporarily

extends a stay of the effectiveness of a

certain reporting requirement in the

petition process for the import of used

class I controlled substances, but only

extends the stay to the extent necessary

to complete reconsideration (including

any appropriate regulatory action) of the

requirement. In the Federal Register

published January 31, 1996, EPA

announced, pursuant to Clean Air Act

section 307(d)(7)(B), a three-month

administrative stay and reconsideration

of this reporting requirement (61 FR

3316). The provision at issue is 40 CFR

82.13(g)(2)(viii), promulgated under

sections 604 and 606 of the Clean Air

Act, which requires the importer of a

used class I controlled substance to

certify that the purchaser of the

controlled substance is liable for the tax.

In the same Federal Register

published January 31, 1996, pursuant to

Clean Air Act section 301(a)(1), EPA

proposed an extension of the stay

beyond the three-month administrative

stay, but only to the extent necessary to

complete reconsideration (including any

appropriate regulatory action) of the

rule in question (61 FR 3361). This

action finalizes the proposed extension.

Sufficient concerns have been raised

regarding this provision that EPA

believes it is appropriate not only to

reconsider the provision, but also to stay

the requirement during the period of

reconsideration, which will extend

beyond the three-month period

provided under the administrative stay.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 11, 1996.
