    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 November 19, 2020. 
These regulations apply to both existing and new dry-cleaning 
facilities that use perchloroethylene (PCE). New facilities include 
those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart M.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Dry cleaning facilities that use 
perchloroethylene (PCE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, subpart 
M).
    Estimated number of respondents: 28,020 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 1,590,343 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $197,000,000 (per year), which includes 
$948,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth 
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
