NESHAP for Perchlorethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart M) (Renewal)

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart M) were proposed on December 9, 1991, promulgated on September 22, 1993, and most recently-amended on July 11, 2008. These regulations apply to existing and new dry-cleaning facilities that use perchloroethylene (PCE). New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart M. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 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 essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
