   (3) Information on solvent mileage achieved with and without the candidate emission control technology. Solvent mileage is the average weight of articles cleaned per volume of perchloroethylene used. Solvent mileage data must be of continuous duration for at least 1 year under the conditions of a typical dry cleaning operation. This information on solvent mileage must be accompanied by information on the design, configuration, operation, and maintenance of the specific dry cleaning system from which the solvent mileage information was obtained;
   (4) Identification of maintenance requirements and parameters to monitor to ensure proper operation and maintenance of the candidate emission control technology;
   (5) Explanation of why this information is considered accurate and representative of both the short-term and the long-term performance of the candidate emission control technology on the specific dry cleaning system examined;
   (6) Explanation of why this information can or cannot be extrapolated to dry cleaning systems other than the specific system(s) examined; and
   (7) Information on the cross-media impacts (to water and solid waste) of the candidate emission control technology and demonstration that the cross-media impacts are less than or equal to the cross-media impacts of a refrigerated condenser and carbon adsorber.
  (b) For the purpose of determining equivalency to control equipment required under § 63.322, the Administrator will evaluate the petition to determine whether equivalent control of perchloroethylene emissions has been adequately demonstrated.
  (c) Where the Administrator determines that certain equipment and procedures may be equivalent, the Administrator will publish a notice in the Federal Register proposing to consider this equipment or these procedures as equivalent. After notice and opportunity for public hearing, the Administrator will publish the final determination of equivalency in the Federal Register.
§ 63.326 Implementation and enforcement.
  (a) This subpart can be implemented and enforced by the U.S. EPA, or a delegated authority such as the applicable State, local, or Tribal agency. If the U.S. EPA Administrator has delegated authority to a State, local, or Tribal agency, then that agency, in addition to the U.S. EPA, has the authority to implement and enforce this subpart. Contact the applicable U.S. EPA Regional Office to find out if implementation and enforcement of this subpart is delegated to a State, local, or Tribal agency.
  (b) In delegating implementation and enforcement authority of this subpart to a State, local, or Tribal agency under subpart E of this part, the authorities contained in paragraph (c) of this section are retained by the Administrator of U.S. EPA and cannot be transferred to the State, local, or Tribal agency.
  (c) The authorities that cannot be delegated to State, local, or Tribal agencies are as specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this section.
   (1) Approval of alternatives to the requirements in §§ 63.320 and 63.322(a) through (j). Follow the requirements in § 63.325 to demonstrate that alternative equipment or procedures are equivalent to the requirements of § 63.322.

    Title: National Refrigerant Recycling and Emissions Reduction
Program.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1626.10, OMB Control No. 2060-0256.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2007. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA has developed regulations under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (the Act) establishing standards and requirements
regarding the use and disposal of class I and class II ozone-depleting
substances used as refrigerants during the service, maintenance,
repair, or disposal of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment.
Section 608(c) of the Act states that effective July 1, 1992 it is
unlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing,
repairing, or disposing of refrigeration or air-conditioning equipment
to knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly release or dispose of any
class I or class II substance used as a refrigerant in the equipment in
a manner which permits the substance to enter the environment.
    In 1993, EPA promulgated regulations under section 608 of the Act
for the recycling of ozone-depleting refrigerants recovered during the
servicing and disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
These regulations were published on May 14, 1993 (58 FR 28660) and
codified in 40 CFR part 82, subpart F (Sec.  82.150 et seq.).
    The regulations require persons servicing refrigeration and air-
conditioning equipment to observe certain service practices that reduce
emissions of ozone depleting refrigerants. The regulations also
establish certification programs for technicians, recycling and
recovery equipment, and off-site refrigerant reclaimers. In addition,
EPA requires that ozone depleting refrigerants contained ``in bulk'' in
appliances be removed prior to disposal of the appliances and that all
refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, except for small
appliances and room air conditioners, be provided with a servicing
aperture that facilitates recovery of the refrigerant. Moreover, the
Agency requires that substantial refrigerant leaks in equipment be
repaired when they are discovered. These regulations significantly
reduce emissions of ozone depleting refrigerants, and therefore aid
U.S. and global efforts to minimize damage to the ozone layer and the
environment as a whole.
    To facilitate compliance with and enforcement of section 608
requirements, EPA requires reporting and record keeping requirements of
technicians; technician certification programs; equipment testing
organizations; refrigerant wholesalers and purchasers; refrigerant
reclaimers; refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment owners; and
other establishments that perform refrigerant removal, service, or
disposal. The record keeping requirements and periodic submission of
reports, to EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Atmospheric
Programs, occur on an annual, biannual, onetime, or occasional basis
depending on the nature of the reporting entity and the length of time
that the entity has been in service. Specific reporting and
recordkeeping requirements were published in 58 FR 28660 and codified
under 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F (i.e., Sec.  82.166). These reporting
and recordkeeping requirements also allow EPA to evaluate the
effectiveness of the refrigerant regulations, and help the Agency
determine if we are meeting the obligations of the Unites States',
under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, to reduce use and emissions of ozone-
depleting substances to the lowest achievable level.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4
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: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those that recover, recycle, reclaim, sell, or
distribute in interstate commerce ozone-depleting refrigerants that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs);
and those that service, maintain, repair, or dispose of appliances
containing CFC or HCFC refrigerants. In addition, the owners or
operators of appliances containing more than 50 pounds of CFC or HCFC
refrigerants are regulated.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 361,383.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, biannually, and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 2,404,913.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $88,019,807, which includes $0
annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 2,194,052 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified
in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is not due to a
change in any program requirement. The adjustment is the result of
changes in EPA's estimates of time required to submit reports and
maintain records, the number of reports submitted to the agency, and
the overall number of respondents.
