    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by the 
proposed rule. To determine whether your facility is regulated by the 
proposed rule, you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 
63.320 of subpart M (1993 Dry Cleaning NESHAP). If you have any 
questions regarding the applicability of the proposed rule to a

    Submitting CBI: Do not submit information which you claim to be CBI 
to EPA through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the

information submitted on a disk or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark 
the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify 
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that

does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for 
inclusion in the public docket. Information marked as CBI will not be 
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part

Comment Period

    We received a request to extend the public comment period to March 
23, 2006. We agreed to this request, therefore, the public comment 
period will now end on March 23, 2006, rather than February 6, 2006.
