    Title: NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1415.07; OMB control No. 2060-0234.
    ICR Status: The ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2006. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of

[[Page 55784]]

information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 
after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 
CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register 
or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection 
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers 
in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: These standards apply to owners or operators of dry 
cleaning facilities that use perchloroethylene (PCE). Owners or 
operators of such facilities must provide EPA, or the delegated state 
regulatory authority, with the one-time notifications and reports. The 
owners or operators must also perform weekly monitoring (or biweekly 
for the smaller facilities), and must keep records for five years. The 
notification and reports enable EPA or the delegated state regulatory 
authority to determine whether the appropriate control technology is 
installed and properly operated and maintained, and to schedule 
inspections and/or compliance assistance activities. The responses to 
this information collection are mandatory under Clean Air Act Section 
112 and 40 CFR part 63, subpart M. The responses are not anticipated to 
be kept confidential due to the nature of the information collected; 
however, any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of 
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency 
policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning 
Facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 34,240.
    Frequency of Response: Annually and Initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,537,784 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $53,340, includes no annualized 
capital/startup costs and $53,340 annualized O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
