SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaners 
(EPA ICR Number 0997.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0079), to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum 
Dry Cleaners (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ) apply to the following 
existing and new facilities located at a petroleum dry cleaning plant 
with a total manufacturers' rated dryer capacity equal to or greater 
than 38 kilograms (84 pounds): Petroleum solvent dry cleaning dryers, 
washers, filters, stills, and settling tanks. In general, NSPS 
standards require initial notification reports, performance tests, and 
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 
They are also required to maintain 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 notifications, reports, and records are generally 
considered essential in determining compliance, and are required of all 
affected facilities subject to NSPS. For this source category, only 
recordkeeping and initial notifications and reports are considered 
essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum dry cleaners.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart JJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially.
    Total estimated burden: 90 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,000 (per year), which includes $0 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the burden in this 
ICR in comparison to the previous ICR. This decrease is not due to any 
program changes. There is a decrease in the total burden hours from the 
most-recently approved ICR because of a decrease in the number of 
sources subject to these standards. This ICR incorporates more accurate 
estimates of existing sources based on consultations with EPA's Office 
of Air Quality Planning and Standards and a review of affected 
facilities in the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online 
(ECHO) database and reflects decline within the industry as dry 
cleaning facilities have moved to reduce use of petroleum solvents and 
incorporate newer technologies. The burden for this rule continues to 
apply only for one-time reporting requirements for new sources. This 
ICR reduces the number of new sources anticipated and conservatively 
estimates burden for one new affected facility per year. The overall 
result is a decrease in burden.
