    Title: NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1415.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0234.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2013. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or 
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending 
at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart M.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or operators 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 51 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Owners or operators of 
perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 28,012.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,564,851.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $157,229,928, which includes 
$156,283,515 in labor costs, $582,500 in capital/startup costs, and 
$363,913 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in burden 
costs from the most- recently approved ICR for both the respondents and 
the Agency, and is due to an increase in labor rates. This ICR uses 
updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate 
respondent burden costs. This ICR also uses updated labor rates from 
OPM to calculate EPA burden costs.
    There is an increase in respondent labor hours due to revisions in 
the

[[Page 15722]]

calculation of burden hours. The previous ICR included technical and 
managerial labor hours only in its burden calculations. To be 
consistent with the estimation methodology used in other ICRs, we have 
revised the calculations to include clerical labor burden, and have 
assumed it to be equal to 10 percent of technical labor hours. These 
revisions resulted in an increase in the respondent labor burden and 
associated cost.
    There is an increase in the total O&M costs for industry 
respondents. This increase is due to a mathematical error identified in 
the previous ICR and is not due to changes in the individual O&M costs 
or the number of corresponding respondents.
