    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

Comment Period

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