Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pharmaceuticals Production (40 CFR part 63,
subpart GGG) 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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of
pharmaceuticals manufacturing operations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart GGG).
Estimated number of respondents: 27 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 44,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $5,750,000 (per year), which includes
$174,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is no change in hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is
very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the
overall burden. There is also an increase in O&M costs due to an
adjustment to increase from 2007 $ to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment
Cost Index.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
