Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Semiconductor Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63,
subpart BBBBB) were proposed on May 8, 2002; promulgated on May 22,
2003; and most recently amended on July 22, 2008 and November 19, 2020.
These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that
either emits or has the potential to emit, considering controls, in the
aggregate, any single hazardous air pollutants (HAP) at a rate of 10
tons per year (tpy) or even more or any combination of HAP at a rate of
25 tpy or more. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with
40 CFR part 63, subpart BBBBB.
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.
Form Numbers: None.
[[Page 60623]]
Respondents/affected entities: Semiconductor manufacturing
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart BBBBB).
Estimated number of respondents: One (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 41 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,220 (per year), which includes $550
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. 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. Since there are no changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Deputy Director, Data and Enterprise Programs Division.
