  (3) The owner of a dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station is responsible for compliance with the registration requirements of this section.

  (4) All dry cleaning facilities and dry cleaning drop stations are subject to the fee and payment requirements of §337.14 and §337.15 of this title (relating to Registration Fees; and Solvent Fees, respectively). The failure by an owner to properly or timely register any dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station does not exempt the owner from such fee and payment requirements.

    (B) change in dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station information (e.g., establishment name, legally authorized representative, establishment address, or telephone number);

    (C) change in the operational status of any dry cleaning unit (e.g., in service, temporarily out of service, removed from service);

    (D) change in the type of cleaning solvents used;

    (E) installation of additional dry cleaning units or ancillary equipment at an existing facility;

    (F) addition of, or a change in the type of, secondary containment (for dry cleaning units or storage areas) and/or ancillary equipment;

    (G) addition of, or a change in the type of, closed direct-coupled delivery system for the dry cleaning unit; and

    (H) change in the location of records for the dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station.

  (2) Notice of any change or additional information must be submitted on the appropriate agency form that has been completed in accordance with this section. The agency's registration numbers for the dry cleaning facility/drop station must be included in the appropriate spaces on the form.

  (3) Notice of any change or additional information must be submitted to the executive director within 30 days from the date of the occurrence of the change or addition.

(c) Required form for providing dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station registration information.

  (1) Dry cleaning facility owners and dry cleaning drop station owners shall provide the required information on the current agency registration form.

  (2) The dry cleaning facility owner or dry cleaning drop station owner is responsible for ensuring that the registration form is fully complete and accurate. The form must be dated and signed by the owner or a legally authorized representative of the owner, and must be submitted to the agency in accordance with the time frames established in this chapter.

  (3) Dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station owners shall complete and submit a separate registration form for each facility or drop station.

  (4) If additional information, drawings, or other documents are submitted with new or revised registration data, specific facility identification information (including the facility registration number) must be conspicuously indicated on each document, and all such documents must be attached to and submitted with the form.

  (5) When any of the required dry cleaning facility or dry cleaning drop station registration information submitted to the executive director is determined to be incomplete or inaccurate (including illegible or unclear information), the executive director may require the owner to submit additional information. An owner shall submit any such required additional information within 30 days of receipt of such request.
