Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for the regulations published
at 40 CFR part 63, subpart U were
proposed on June 12, 1995, promulgated
on September 5, 1996, and amended on
June 19, 2000, July 16, 2001, December
16, 2008, and April 21, 2011. These
regulations apply to existing and new
elastomer product process units (EPPU)
and associated equipment including
waste management units, maintenance
wastewater, heat exchange systems, and
equipment required by or utilized to
comply with this Subpart located at
facilities that are major sources of
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and are
classified in the Group I Polymers and
Resins source category. The Group I
Polymers and Resins source category
includes the following categories: Butyl
Rubber Production, Epichlorohydrin
Elastomers Production, Ethylene
Propylene Rubber Production, Hypalon
Production, Neoprene Production,
Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)
Production, Polybutadiene Rubber
Production, Polysulfide Rubber
Production, and Styrene Butadiene
Rubber and Latex Production. New
facilities include those that commenced
construction, or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This ICR combines
burden from the 2011 amendment with
the burden associated with the existing
provisions of the rule. In general, all
NESHAP standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They
are also 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 are required of all affected facilities
subject to NESHAP. Any owner/
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
operator subject to the provisions of this
part shall maintain a file containing
these documents, and retain the file for
at least five years following the
generation date of such 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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Facilities with elastomer product
process units and associated equipment.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart U).
Estimated number of respondents: 19
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 56,400 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $11,200,000 (per
year), includes $5,230,000 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated burden, labor costs, and
capital and O&M costs as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
change in the burden and cost estimates
occurred because the previously
approved ICR only covered the burden
and costs associated with the 2011
amendment. This ICR combines the
burden from both the 2011 amendment
and the pre-2011 provisions of the rule.

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Pharmaceuticals
Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart
GGG) were proposed on April 2, 1997;
promulgated on September 21, 1998;
and amended on both April 21, 2011
and February 27, 2014. The 2014
amendment promulgated technical
correction was made to allow for EPA
Method 320 as an alternative to EPA
Method 18 for demonstrating that a
‘vent’ is not a process vent. These
regulations apply to existing and new
pharmaceuticals manufacturing
operations 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. New facilities
include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG. In
general, all NESHAP standards require
initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They
are also required to maintain records of

Frequency of response: Initially,

Total estimated burden: 44,300 hours

annualized capital and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
reduction in the estimated number of
responses, by one. The previous ICR
included one response for affirmative
defense. However, that item has
subsequently been removed from this
ICR as those provisions are outdated.
There is an adjustment increase in the
respondent labor hours as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
change in the burden and cost estimates
occurred due to a change in assumption.
In accordance with the Terms of
Clearance, this ICR assumes all existing
respondents will have to familiarize
with the regulatory requirements each
year. There is also a small adjustment
decrease in the total capital and O&M
costs as compared the previouslyapproved ICR. This decrease is not due
to any program changes, but occurred
because, in accordance with the terms of
clearance, this ICR rounds totals to three
significant figures.
