Abstract: This Information Collection
Request (ICR) renewal is being
submitted for the NSPS for Magnetic
Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60,
subpart SSS), which was proposed on
January 22, 1986, and promulgated on
October 3, 1988. The affected entities
also are subject to the General
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part
60, subpart A and any changes, or
additions to the General Provisions
specified 40 CFR part 60, subparts SSS.
This standard applies to each coating
operation and each piece of coating mix
preparation equipment commencing
construction, modification, or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
Owners and operators of magnetic tape
coating facilities subject to NSPS must
notify EPA of construction,
reconstruction, anticipated and actual
startup dates, and results of

performance test results, shutdowns,
and malfunctions must be maintained.
These notifications, reports, and records
are essential in determining compliance
and are required, in general, of all
sources subject to NSPS.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 95 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
PO 00000

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Pharmaceuticals
Production was proposed on April 2,
1997, and promulgated on September
21, 1998. These standards apply to
facilities in pharmaceuticals facilities
that are major sources of hazardous air
pollutants (HAP). The affected facilities
encompass all pharmaceuticals
manufacturing operations that include
process vents, storage tanks, equipment
components, and wastewater systems
commencing construction, or
reconstruction after the date of that
proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart GGG. HAP
emissions are the pollutants regulated
under this subpart.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports.
Owners, or operators also are required
to maintain records of the occurrence
and duration of any startup, shutdown,
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 in general, are required
of all sources subject to NESHAP. This
information is used by the Agency to
identify sources subject to the standards
to insure that the maximum achievable
control technologies are being applied.
Any owner, or operator subject to the
provisions of this part will maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated State,
or local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 177 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:
Pharmaceuticals facilities that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutants
(HAP).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
Semi-annually and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
163,371.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$14,901,733, which consists of no
Capital/Startup costs, $415,800 in
Operations and Maintenance Costs, and
$14,485,933 in Labor Costs associated
with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 5,192 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. The increase in burden is due
E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM

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 in general, are required of all sources
subject to NESHAP. This information is used by the Agency to identify
sources subject to the standards to insure that the maximum achievable
control technologies are being applied.
Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part will
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance
reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State, or
local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 177
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: Pharmaceuticals facilities that are
major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Frequency of Response: Initially, Semi-annually and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 163,371.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $14,901,733, which consists of no
Capital/Startup costs, $415,800 in Operations and Maintenance Costs,
and $14,485,933 in Labor Costs associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 5,192 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden is due
[[Page 21257]]
to adjustments. Burden items were added to the ICR which were
previously omitted, and the burden associated with some items was
increased to be consistent with more recently approved ICRs for similar
source categories.
