SUBJECT CATEGORY: National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities
Public Hearing: If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a public hearing concerning this rulemaking by April 11, 2008, we will hold a public hearing on April 16, 2008.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to amend the national perchloroethylene air emission standards for dry cleaning facilities promulgated on July 27, 2006 (71 FR 42724), under the authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act. These amendments to the national perchloroethylene air emission standards for dry cleaning facilities would correct applicability cross references that were not correctly amended between the most recent proposed and final rule revisions, and would clarify that condenser performance monitoring may be done by either of two prescribed methods (pressure or temperature), regardless of whether an installed pressure gauge is present. Without these amendments, new area sources could erroneously be required to perform monitoring that was proposed for only major sources, and installed condenser performance gauge readings could be required of sources when a prescribed temperature method is just as valid for compliance purposes. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are issuing these corrections as a direct final rule with this parallel proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.
SUMMARY: National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities,
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
we are issuing these corrections as a direct final rule with this
parallel proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not
take further action on this proposed rule. On September 22, 1993, EPA
promulgated National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities (58
[[Page 17293]]
FR 49376). These standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart M.
On December 21, 2005, EPA proposed revisions to the National
Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities
(70 FR 75884) and on July 27, 2006, EPA promulgated final revisions to
the National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning
Facilities (71 FR 42724). This document proposes to make certain
technical and editorial corrections to these final revisions. We have
published a direct final rule correcting the area source NESHAP in the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we
view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct final rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will take no further action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that some or all of the amendments in this rule will not take effect. We will address all public comments received on this proposed rule in a subsequent final rule, and we will not institute a second comment period on this proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting on the proposed rule must do so at this time.
For further information about commenting on the rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
The categories and entities potentially regulated by the final rule
are industrial and commercial perchloroethylene (PCE) dry cleaners.
This proposal would affect the following categories of sources: NAICS \1\
Category code Examples of potentially regulated entities
Coinoperated Laundries and Dry Cleaners..... 812310 Drytodry machines.
Transfer machines.
Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services (except 812320 Drytodry machines.
coinoperated). Transfer machines.
Industrial Launderers........................ 812332 Drytodry machines.
Transfer machines. \1\ North American Industry Classification System.
This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by the final rule. To determine whether your facility is regulated by the final rule, you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 63.320. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of the final rule to a particular entity, contact the person listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
In addition to being available in the docket, an electronic copy of this proposed action will also be available on the Worldwide Web (WWW) through the Technology Transfer Network (TTN). Following signature, a copy of this proposed action will be posted on the TTN's policy and guidance page for newly proposed or promulgated rules at the following address: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/. The TTN provides information and technology exchange in various areas of air pollution control. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
