    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, and promulgated on May 22, 
2003. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities 
that 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 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.
    Respondents/affected entities: Semiconductor manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart BBBBB).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 41 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,270 (per year), which includes $550 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. There was no change in the capital/O&M cost.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
