Title: National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities 
Abstract: This action will address the EPA’s technology review of the National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities, the Perc Dry Cleaning National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The Perc Dry Cleaning NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63, subpart M, was promulgated pursuant to section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) on September 22, 1993 (58 FR 49354). The Perc Dry Cleaning NESHAP established maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for major sources and generally available control technology (GACT) standards for area sources. EPA then completed a residual risk review under CAA section 112(f) and a first technology review under CAA section 112(d)(6) on July 27, 2006 (71 FR 42724). This action will implement the second technology review for the NESHAP. CAA section 112(d)(6) requires the EPA to review and revise the standards as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies), no less often than every 8 years. The EPA published a proposed rule for this action on December 27, 2021 (86 FR 73207), and a correction to the proposed rule on January 5, 2022 (87 FR 421). A consent decree requires EPA to sign a final rule for this NESHAP by January 31, 2025.
