NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS 

In Section 276.604, after "required", added", upon request". 

ln Section 276.704(a), "specified by the Agency" was changed to "specified in the fleet 

inspection agreement referenced in Section 276.702(c)(2)".

13) Will this rulemaking replace any emergency rulemaking currently in effect? No 

14) Are there any amendments pending on this Part? No 

1 5) Summary and Purpose of Amendments: The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's 

(Illinois EPA) amendments to Part 276 reflect the adoption of the Vehicle Emissions 

Inspection Law of2005 ("VEIL of2005") (PA 94-526) (625 ILCS 5/13C), an 

amendment to the VEIL of 2005 (PA 94-848), and necessary improvements to the 

program. The amendments remove definitions relating to the removal of the IM240 

emissions test, add new definitions and clarify other definitions. The amendments 

remove the 1M240 emissions test procedures, related provisions, and all references 

thereto to reflect full implementation of OBD testing. The amendments require a subject 

vehicle owner to obtain, but not display or possess, an emissions compliance certificate in 

order to obtain or renew the subject vehicle's registration. The amendments specify the 

design of an emissions compliance certificate. The amendments remove all different 

types of inspection certificates or stickers and utilize a universal "emission compliance 

certificate." The amendments clarify the recordkeeping requirements relating to 

maintenance and calibrations performed. The amendments revise provisions relating to 

waivers, economic hardship, fleet self-testing, grievances, test notices, and reciprocity. 

The amendments add a new section relating to the collection and reporting of repair 

facility data. The amendments add a new section providing requirements for obtaining an 

emissions compliance certificate where the vehicle is located and being primarily 

operated outside the affected counties. The amendments eliminate Table A and B 

relating to the IM240 test. Finally, the amendments update and clarify other provisions in 

the rule.

consists of a preconditioning mode followed immediately by an idle mode, and is 

performed only if the vehicle fails the first-chance test. 

1) First-Chance Test 

A) The test stmis when the conditions specified in subsections 

(e)(l)(B) and (e)(l)(C) of this Section are met. 

B) The mode starts when the vehicle engine speed is between 350 and 

1300 rpm. The minimum mode length is determined as described 

under subsection ( e )(1 )(C) of this Section. 

C) The pass/fail analysis begins after an elapsed time of 10 seconds. 

A pass or fail detem1ination is made for the vehicle and the mode 

is terminated in accordance with subsections (e)(l)(C)(i) through

11 325 

11 

All operators of steady-state idle te5t-exhaust test gas analyzers shall comply with the following 

calibration and operating procedures unless alternative procedures have been approved by the 

Agency: 

a) Exhaustexhr.ust gas analyzers shall be warmed up prior to each vehicle inspection, 

zero check, span check, or calibration. Analyzers shall be considered to be in a 

warmed-up condition once stabilized zero readings (readings stabilize for one 

minute within ±2 percent of full scale, low range on all 3 channels) are obtained. 

b) The analyzer shall conduct a zero and span check prior to each test. The span 

check shall include the HC, CO and C02 channels, and the NO and 0 2 channels, 

if present. If zero and/or span drift cause the signal levels to move beyond the 

adjustment range of the analyzer, it shall lock out from testing. 

c) The system shall lock out from testing if sample flow falls below 3 percent of full 

scale, or causes system response time to exceed 13 seconds to 90 percent of a step 

change in input, whichever is less. 

d) A system leak check shall be performed within 244 hours before the test, and may 

be performed in conjunction with the gas calibration described in subsection 

( e )(1) of this Section. If a leak check is not performed within 244 hours or if the 

analyzer fails the leak check, the analyzer shall lock out from testing. The leak 

check shall be a procedure demonstrated to effectively check the sample hose and 

probe for leaks and shall be performed in accordance with good engineering 

practices. An error of more than + 2 percent of the reading using low range span 

gas shall cause the analyzer to lock out from testing and shall require repair of

span gas that meets the requirements of subsection ( e )(3) of this Section 

into the analyzer through the calibration port. If the analyzer reads the 

span gas withinthe allowable toleran<;~tolerence range (i.e., the square 

root sum of the squares of the span gas tolerance described in subsection 

(e)(3) ofthis Section and the calibration tolerance, which shall be equal to

procedure shall correct readings that exceed the allowable tolerance range 

to the center of the allowable tolerance range. The pressure in the sample 

cell shall be the same with the calibration gas flowing during calibration as 

with the sample gas flowing during sampling. If the system is not 

calibrated, or the system fails the calibration check, the analyzer shall lock 

out from testing. 

2) A two point gas calibration procedure shall be followed. The span shall be 

accomplished at one of the following pairs of span points:

in subsections (f)(l) and (f)(2) of this Section shall also be used to verify system 

performance under the special circumstances described therein. 

1) Gas Calibration 

A) Each time the analyzer electronic or optical systems are repaired or 

replaced, a gas calibration shall be performed prior to returning the 

unit to service. 

B) MultiMonthly multi-point calibrations shall be performed everv 6 

months. The calibration curve is checked at 20 percent, 40 

percent, 60 percent, and 80 percent of full scale, and must be
