HEARING OFFICER ORDER 

On October 3, 2011, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a 

rulemaking proposal pursuant to Sections 10, 27 (excluding subsection (b)) and 28 of the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/1 0,27 and 28 (2010)), Sections 102.200 and 

102.202 ofTitle 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code (35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.200, 102.202 

(2010)) and Section 13C-20(a) ofthe Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law (VEIL) of2005 (625 

ILCS 5/ 13C-20(a) (2010)). The Agency proposes to sunset the steady-state idle and evaporative 

system integrity test standards used in the Illinois enhanced vehicle inspection and maintenance 

program for the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis nonattainment areas. 
The Board will conduct two hearings in order to allow the Agency and any other 

interested participants the opportunity to present testimony on the merits and economic impact of 

the proposal. See 415 ILCS 5/28(a) (20 1 0). At hearing, all persons who wish to testify will be 

sworn in and subject to questioning. 

Section 27(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/27(b) (2010)), which addresses requests by the 

Board that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) conduct an 

economic impact study (EelS) of proposed rules, does not apply to rules filed under subsection 

20(a) of the VEIL of2005. 625 ILCS 5/13C-20(a) (2010). Accordingly, the Board has not 

requested that the DCEO conduct an EelS of this proposal and the hearings will not address that 

specific issue of an EelS. 

Pre-Filing Deadlines 

Participants who intend to testify at hearing are urged to pre-file their testimony and are 

directed to serve pre-filed testimony on all persons on the Service List. Before filing pre-filed 

testimony or any other document with the Clerk, please check with the Board's Clerk to obtain 

the most recent version of the Service List. 

Testimony for the November 17, 2011 hearing must be pre-filed by November 4, 2011. 

Testimony for the November 30, 2011 hearing must be pre-filed by November 28, 2011. All 

filings must be served on the persons on the service list. 

The "mailbox rule" at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.300(b)(2) does not apply to the filing of 

any of this pre-filed testimony and the Board's Clerk must receive these documents before the 

close of business on these deadlines. Documents may be filed electronically through the 

Clerk's Office On-Line (COOL) from the Board's web page at www.ipcb.state.il.us. 35 Ill. 

Adm. Code 101.302(d). Any questions about electronic filing through COOL should be 

directed to the Clerk's Office at (312) 814-3629. 

Order of Hearing 

At hearing, all pre-filed testimony will be entered into the record as if read. See 35 Ill. 

Adm. Code 102.424(f). The hearing officer intends to begin the hearing by allowing the Agency 

as the proponent to present the pre-filed testimony of all of its witnesses. A witness may offer a 

brief summary of pre-filed testimony if he or she wishes to provide one before turning to 

questions. After the Agency's witnesses address questions from other participants, other persons 

who have pre-filed testimony will testify. Participants who do not pre-file testimony will be 

allowed to testify after the conclusion of pre-filed testimony and questions based upon it. 

Any participant who wishes to offer a public comment at the hearing will be allowed to 

do so at the close of pre-filed testimony and questions based upon it. In addition, the Board's 

procedural rules include an opportunity to file post-hearing comments. See 35 IlL Adm. Code 

1 02.1 08(b ). 
Service and Notice Lists 

The Service List for this rulernaking is the list of persons who wish to participate 

actively in this proceeding and receive not only the Board's opinions and orders but also other 

filings such as pre-filed testimony and public comments. The Notice List includes participants 

who wish to receive only the Board's opinions and orders and hearing officer orders. 

Note that interested persons may now request electronic notice of filings by providing 

their e-mail address through COOL under this docket number R12-12. This electronic notice 

includes notice of the filing of documents that are not typically provided to persons on the 

Notice List. In addition, COOL provides links to documents filed with the Board and those 

documents can be viewed, downloaded and printed free of charge as soon as they are posted to 

the Board's Web site. For more information about the option of electronic notice or COOL, 

please consult either the Board's Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us or John Therriault, the 

Board's Assistant Clerk, at (312) 814-3629.

4) Statutory Authority: Section 13C-20 ofthe Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of2005 

(625 ILCS 5/13C-20) and Sections 10, 27 and 28 ofthe Environmental Protection Act 

(415 ILCS 5/10, 27 and 28). 

5) A Complete Description of the Subjects and Issues Involved: This proposal for public 

comment would amend Part 240 to reflect an amendment (P.A. 97-0106) to the Vehicle 

Emissions Inspection Law of2005 (VEIL of2005) (625 ILCS 5/13C). P.A. 97-0106 

amends the VEIL of2005 by repealing the steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative 

system integrity emissions inspection tests. These inspection tests were substituted for 

the on-board diagnostic (OBD) test for heavy-duty vehicles not required to be equipped 

with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II specifications and certain vehicles that could 

not receive the OBD test due to their design or with known OBD communication or 

software problems. P.A. 97-0106 exempts pre-2007 heavy-duty vehicles with a gross 

vehicle weight rating (GVRW) between 8,501 and 14,000 pounds and any heavy-duty 

vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds from the requirements to be tested. 

These heavy-duty vehicles are not all required to be equipped with OBD systems meeting 

federal OBD II specifications. Also, P.A. 97-0106 adds a visual inspection test as a new 

substitute for the OBD test for vehicles that cannot receive the OBD test due to their 

design or with known OBD communication or software problems. P.A. 97-0106 makes 

other relatively minor changes and is effective February 1, 2012. 

The proposed amendments to Part 240 specify that the steady-state idle exhaust and 

evaporative system integrity inspection test standards are effective only through January 

31, 2012. Also, the proposed amendments add visual inspection test standards that are 

effective beginning February 1, 2012 and add a definition of"visual inspection test." RECEIVED 

OCT l 4. 2011 

SOS-CODE DIV, 
ILLINOIS REGISTER 

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 

Finally, the proposed amendments make other minor changes consistent with the addition 

of the new visual inspection test standards. The Illinois Pollution Control Board (Board) 

is required by the VEIL of 2005 to adopt this proposal within 120 days after filing by the 

illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Tilinois EPA) (625 ILCS 5/13C-20). 

6) Published studies or reports and sources of underlying data, used to compose this 

rulemaking: The Illinois EPA relied on various sources to compose this rulemaking.

Proposed JIM Programs, 2012-2020, Sam Long, Illinois Environmental 

Protection Agency, January 11, 2011. 

7) Will these proposed amendments replace an emergency rule currently in effect? No. 

8) Do these amendments contain an automatic repeal date? No. 

9) Do these proposed amendments contain incorporations by reference? No. 

1 0) Are there any other proposed amendments pending on this Part? No.

Robertson at 312/814-6931 or e-mail robertsd@ipcb.state.il.us. 

13) Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis: 

A) Types of small businesses, small municipalities and not for profit corporations 

affected: Any small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit corporations 

that own or operate a vehicle subject to emissions inspection could be affected by 

the proposed amendments. 

B) Reporting, bookkeeping or other procedures required for compliance: The 

proposal does not require reporting or bookkeeping. The proposal requires 

compliance with new visual inspection test standards and use of new inspection 

procedures established in 35 TIL Adm. Code Part 276 related to these new 

standards. 

C) Types of Professional skills necessary for compliance: No professional skills 

beyond those currently required by the rule are expected to be necessary. 

14) Regulatory Agenda in which these amendments were summarized: July 2011.

TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL HILLS 

My name is Michael Hills and I am an engineer with the Technical Services Section of the 

Illinois Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program (I/M Program) at the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). After completing my bachelor's degree in 

Industrial Engineering with the University of Illinois in 1989, I joined the Agency. I have been 

employed by the Agency ever since and have been involved in the development and 

implementation of the I/M Program since 1994. 

In July of2011, the Illinois General Assembly amended the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law 

of2005 (VEIL of2005) (625 ILCS 5/13(C)) through Illinois Public Act (P.A.) No. 97-0106, 

which requires the Agency to optimize the liM Program to continue to meet the Federal Clean 

Air Act (CAA) inspection and maintenance requirement in a more cost-effective manner. As a 

result, the Agency designed a test program that minimizes costs and improves consumer 

acceptance by focusing on the fleet of vehicles that will exist in the 2012 through 2020 time 

period. At this time, the Agency proposes to revise the emissions standards contained in 35 Ill. 

Adm. Code Patt 240 to correspond with the VEIL of2005 as amended through P.A. 97-0106. 
Specifically, P.A. 97-0106 sunsets the steady-state idle mode exhaust (steady-state idle) and 

evaporative system integrity (gas cap) tests beginning February 1, 20 12; exempts pre-2007 

model year heavy-duty vehicles with gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) between 8,501 and 

14,000 pounds and all heavy-duty vehicles with GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds as of 

February 1, 20 12; and adds a visual inspection test for vehicles where on-board diagnostic 

(OBD) testing is not possible due to the vehicle's design. 

As stated previously, the Illinois General Assembly amended the VEIL of2005 through P.A. 97-

0106, which repeals the steady-state idle and gas cap emissions tests effective February 1, 2012. 

Therefore, the Agency will be prohibited from using these tests after January 31, 2012. The vast 

majority of vehicles subject to these tests are pre-2007 model year heavy duty vehicles between 

8,501 and 14,000 pound GVWR and all heavy-duty vehicles with GVWR greater than 14,000 

pounds as they were not required to be equipped with OBD. Therefore, the Illinois General 

Assembly has exempted these vehicles from the emissions test requirement in Illinois. This 

rulemaking implements P .A. 97-01 06 by proposing to sunset the steady-state idle and gas cap 

test standards. The decision to eliminate these tests was based on modeling projections showing 

negligible emission reduction benefits, a declining subject vehicle fleet, and significant longtem1 costs for continued use of these test procedures. Also, federal regulations allow states to 

vary the model year and vehicle type coverage in their programs. 

Currently, less than 3% of the vehicle tests in Illinois are steady-state idle exhaust/gas cap tests. 

In addition, starting with the 2007 model year, heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR of less than 

14,000 are required to be equipped with OBD technology, and will receive the OBD test instead 

of the idle/gas cap test. As a result, the projected number of steady-state idle exhaust/gas cap 

2 
tests conducted in Illinois is expected to fall to less than 1% by 2015. The steady-state idle 

exhaust/gas cap tests and standards are no longer economically reasonable inthe Illinois I/M 

Program given the additional capital and operating costs when only I% of the fleet will be 

subject to this type of testing. 

Modeling projections of the expected Illinois fleet for 2012 show that approximately 90% of the 

volatile organic compound (VOC) reductions would come from OBD equipped vehicles. In 

addition, the loss in VOC reductions will be 0.00 tons per day for the projected calendar year 

range of2012 through 2020 in both the Chicago and Metro-East non-attainment areas. Given the 

fact that the steady-state idle exhaust/gas cap tests are only used on pre-2007 model year, nonOBD equipped vehicles (a small and diminishing portion of the vehicles subject to testing in the 

future), are not required by federal law or regulations where the OBD test is utilized, and that the 

cost was significantly higher than OBD testing, the Illinois General Assembly decided it was 

technically feasible and economically reasonable to eliminate the requirement for any steadystate idle exhaust/gas cap testing in the Illinois liM Program. My Technical Support Document, 

filed with this m1emaking, explains the rationale to sunset the steady-state idle and gas cap 

emissions tests in more detaiL 

The main change that this rulemaking proposes to make to implement P .A. 97-01 06 is to sunset 

all Subpart D (Steady-State Idle Mode Test Emission Standards) and Subpart F (Evaporative 

Test Standards) contained in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 240, beginning February I, 2012. 

The addition of the visual inspection test is necessary to handle certain vehicles that are equipped 

with OBD technology, but for which OBD testing is not possible due to the vehicle's design. The 

3 
new visual inspection test created and allowed by P .A. 97-0106, will provide motorists with the 

same flexibility they received through the steady-state idle and gas cap tests in the current 

Illinois I/M Program. Specifically, the visual inspection test will be used only on vehicles for 

which OBD testing is not possible due to the vehicle's originally certified design or its design as 

modified in accordance with federal law and regulations, and on any vehicle with known OBD 

communications or software problems, as determined by the Agency. Without this fallback test, 

these vehicles would not be able to pass an OBD test and the motorist would have no means of 

correcting the problem and renewing the vehicle's registration. Not having this test would result 

in an undue burden on the motorist. 

The Agency will make the determination as to which vehicles are eligible for the visual 

inspection test and will develop a list of such vehicles. Any vehicle that does not appear on this 

list will not be eligible for the visual inspection test and will need to comply with the full OBD 

inspection. 

In order to pass the visual inspection test, the MIL must illuminate during the key-on/engine off 

check and not illuminate during the key-on/engine on check. Therefore, the Agency is proposing 

as its visual inspection test standards that vehicles shall fail the visual inspection if the MIL does 

not illuminate in the key-on/engine off position or continuously illuminates in the key-on/engine 

on position. 

The visual inspection test standards are based on long-standing practice within the I/M 

community and federal law. The "key-on/engine off' check verifies that the malfunction 

4 
indicator lamp (MIL) bulb is functioning properly. Without a properly functioning bulb, the 

motorist would never be alerted when the OBD system detects potential problems with the 

vehicle's emissions control equipment. The "key-on/engine on" check verifies that there are no 

fault codes stored on the vehicle's OBD system which would require the illumination of the 

MIL. The OBD system stores fault codes whenever it detects possible problems with the 

vehicle's emissions control equipment, and are used by repair technicians to help identify areas 

to focus on during repairs. For the foregoing reasons, the proposed visual inspection test 

standards are technically feasible. 

The addition of the visual inspection test will not require any new test equipment and therefore 

will not incur any additional costs to the State or motorists. Therefore, the proposed visual 

inspection test standards are economically reasonable. 

In summary, with this rulemaking, the Agency is updating the vehicle emissions test standards 

contained in 35 Ill . Adm. Code 240 to correspond with the VEIL of2005 as amended by the 

Illinois General Assembly through P .A. 97-0 106. These changes will allow the State of Illinois 

to continue to meet the CAA liM requirement with a modernized and streamlined I/M Program.

Adopted Rule. Final Opinion and Order.

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.A. Burke):

The Board today adopts amendments to Part 240 of its air pollution regulations, which 

establishes emission standards and limitations for mobile sources. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 240. These 

amendments will become final upon filing with the Secretary of State.

On October 3, 2011, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a 

rulemaking proposal pursuant to Sections 10, 27 (excluding subsection (b)) and 28 of the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/10, 27 and 28 (2010)), Sections 102.200 and 

102.202 of Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code (35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.200, 102.202 

(2010)) and Section 13C-20(a) of the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law (VEIL) of 2005 (625 

ILCS 5/13C-20(a) (2010)). The Agency proposed to sunset the steady-state idle and evaporative 

system integrity test standards used in the Illinois enhanced vehicle inspection and maintenance 

program for the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis nonattainment areas.

Pursuant to Section 13C-20(a) of the VEIL of 2005, Section 27(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 

5/27(b) (2010)) and the rulemaking provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (5 

ILCS 100/1-1 et seq. (2010)) do not apply to rules adopted by the Board under this subsection. 

625 ILCS 13C-20(a) (2010). Additionally, the VEIL of 2005 requires the Board to adopt rules 

within 120 days of the Agency proposal. Id.

In this opinion and order, the Board first provides the procedural history and legal 

background of this rulemaking. The Board then summarizes the Agency’s proposal and the 

Agency’s pre-hearing comment. Next, the Board addresses the technical feasibility and 

economic reasonableness of the proposal. The opinion concludes with a summary of the adopted 

rules on a section-by-section basis and the Board’s conclusion. The order that follows directs the 

Clerk to provide publication of the adopted rules in the Illinois Register.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

On October 3, 2011, the Agency filed its rulemaking proposal, accompanied by, among 

other documents, a motion for waiver of copy requirements, a statement of reasons (SR) and a 

technical support document (TSD).
2

On October 6, 2011, the Board accepted the rulemaking proposal for hearing and directed 

the Clerk to publish the proposal in the Illinois Register for public comment. This notice 

appeared in the Illinois Register on October 28, 2011. 35 Ill. Reg. 17178 (Oct. 28, 2011). In its 

October 6, 2011 order, the Board also granted the Agency’s motion for waiver of copy 

requirements.

In an October 6, 2011 order, the hearing officer scheduled two hearings. The first 

hearing was set to take place on November 17, 2011 in Chicago and the second hearing was set 

to take place on November 30, 2011 in Edwardsville. The hearing officer order included a 

prefiling deadline for the first hearing of November 4, 2011 and for the second hearing of 

November 28, 2011.

On November 2, 2011, the Agency filed the prefiled testimony of Michael Hills (Test.) 

for the first hearing. On November 3, 2011, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules

(JCAR) submitted five stylistic, non-substantive changes to the Agency’s proposal.

The first hearing took place as scheduled on November 17, 2011 and the hearing officer 

entered Mr. Hills’ testimony as Exhibit 1 to the proceeding. The transcript for the first hearing 

was received by the Board on November 21, 2011 (Tr.).

The second hearing took place November 30, 2011. No prefiled testimony was received 

and no exhibits were entered. The Board received the transcript of the second hearing on 

December 1, 2011. 

At the second hearing, the hearing officer set a post-hearing comment deadline of 

December 14, 2011. No post-hearing comments were filed.

LEGAL BACKGROUND

Background Statement of Facts

The Agency states that Section 182 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the 

implementation of vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs in areas not meeting the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. SR at 3, citing 42 U.S.C. § 7511a 

(2010). The 1977 CAA amendments required vehicle I/M programs in areas with long standing 

air quality problems. SR at 3, citing 57 Fed. Reg. 52950, 52951 (Nov. 5, 1992). The 1990 CAA 

amendments expanded the role of I/M programs as an attainment strategy and mandated the use 

of “basic” or “enhanced” I/M programs, as well as requiring the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (USEPA) to develop different performance standards for these two programs. 

Id.

The Agency states that basic I/M programs are required in “marginal” ozone 

nonattainment areas with existing I/M programs and in “moderate” ozone nonattainment areas. 

SR at 3, citing 42 U.S.C. § 7511a. The Agency further states that enhanced I/M programs are 
3

required in “serious,” “severe” and “extreme” ozone nonattainment areas with urbanized 

populations of 200,000 or more. Id.

The Agency states that Illinois includes two nonattainment areas: “the Chicago 

metropolitan area which was classified as “severe” under the revoked 1-hour ozone standard and 

is now classified as “moderate” under the 1997 8-hour standard; and the Metro-East St. Louis are 

which was redesignated to attainment of the 1-hour standard and is now classified as “moderate”

nonattainment for ozone under the 1997 8-hour standard.” SR at 3, citing 40 C.F.R. § 81.314

(2010). The Agency notes that, although enhanced I/M was not required in the Metro-East St. 

Louis nonattainment area, Illinois opted to implement there as an element of its strategy to attain 

the ozone standard. SR at 3-4.

The Agency states that the “USEPA I/M regulations require the adoption by states of 

standards that result in a reduction of vehicle emissions through testing procedures meeting, or 

exceeding, the amount of emissions that would be reduced if its ‘model’ I/M program design was 

implemented.” SR at 4, citing 57 Fed. Reg. at 52951. The USEPA further requires certain design 

elements to be a part of any enhanced I/M program, but allows states to vary certain design 

elements and program inputs as long as the plan achieves the same or greater reductions in 

emissions than those required by the USEPA’s applicable performance standard. SR at 4, citing 

57 Fed. Reg. at 52953. The Agency states that the enhanced performance standard requires the 

following program elements: (1) network type, (2) required start date, (3) annual test frequency, 

(4) model year coverage, (5) vehicle type coverage, (6) exhaust emission test type, (7) emission 

standards, (8) emission control device inspections, (9) evaporative system function checks, (10) 

stringency or failure rate, (11) waiver rate, (12) compliance rate and (13) evaluation date. SR at 

4, citing 40 C.F.R. § 51.351 (2010). As part of this standard, on-board diagnostic (OBD) I/M 

testing is required for all subject vehicles of model year 1996 and newer. SR at 4, citing 40 

C.F.R. § 51.351(c). The Agency notes that federal regulations allow states to utilize the OBD 

I/M test and test standards instead of the idle exhaust and evaporative tests. SR at 4, citing 40 

C.F.R. § 51.357(a)(12) (2010), 66 Fed. Reg. 18156, 18160 (April 5, 2001). The Agency further 

notes that federal regulations allow states to vary vehicle model year coverage from the 

USEPA’s model program assumptions regarding vehicle model year coverage as long as 

necessary emission reductions are achieved. SR at 4, citing 40 C.F.R. § 51.356 (2010).

The Agency contends that the VEIL requirements were adopted by the Illinois General 

Assembly in 1984 and provided authority for an I/M program in response to federal 

requirements. SR at 4-5, citing 625 ILCS 5/13A (1984). The VEIL of 1995 was adopted by the 

Illinois General Assembly to provide authority for the Agency to implement enhanced I/M. SR 

at 5, citing 625 ILCS 5/13B (1995). The VEIL of 2005, adopted by the Illinois General 

Assembly, made the OBD test the primary I/M test and exempted vehicles of model year 1995 

and older from I/M testing. SR at 5, citing 625 ILCS 5/13C (2006). The VEIL of 2005 also 

maintained the steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative system integrity tests as available 

fallback tests for certain vehicles. Id. The Agency notes that, to implement VEIL, the Board 

adopted emission test standards in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 276 and the Board and the Agency 

have amended these rules over the years in response to changes in federal I/M requirements. SR 

at 5.
4

The Agency states that the Illinois General Assembly recently amended the VEIL of 

2005 through P.A. 97-0106. SR at 5, citing Ill. Pub. Act. No. 97-0106 (July 14, 2011) (effective 

Feb. 1, 2012).1 P.A. 97-0106 repeals the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity 

emissions tests. SR at 5, citing Ill. Pub. Act. No. 97-0106 at § 13C-25(d), (e), (f). The Agency 

notes that these emission tests “were substituted for the OBD test for heavy-duty vehicles not 

required to be equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II specifications and certain 

vehicles that could not receive the OBD test due to their design or with known OBD 

communication or software problems.” SR at 5, citing 625 ILCS 5/13C-25(d) (2010). P.A. 97-

0106 also exempts pre-2007 heavy-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) 

between 8,501 and 14,000 pounds and any heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR greater than

14,000 pounds from the requirement to be tested. SR at 5-6, citing Ill. Pub. Act. No. 97-0106 at 

§ 13C-15(b)(8)(M), (b)(8)(N). The Agency states that, under the VEIL of 2005, these heavyduty vehicles are not all required to be equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II 

specifications and therefore these vehicles are tested using the steady-state idle and evaporative 

system integrity tests. SR at 6. The Agency states that is was necessary to exempt those vehicles 

from the requirement to obtain an emissions test since the Illinois General Assembly eliminated 

the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity tests as of February 1, 2012. Id.

The Agency notes that P.A. 97-0106 also adds a visual inspection test as a new substitute 

for the OBD test for vehicles that cannot receive the OBD test due to their design or with known 

OBD communication or software problems. SR at 6, citing Ill. Pub. Act. No. 97-0106 at § 13C25(h).

Statutory Authority for Rulemaking

The Agency cites Sections 10(A), 27 (excluding subsection (b)) and 28 as sources of the 

Board’s general authority to adopt air pollution regulations. SR at 2. The Agency notes that this 

proposal “is not being proposed as an identical-in-substance, fast-track, or federally required 

rulemaking.” Id. In addition, the Agency is filing this proposal under the authority of Section 

13C-20(a) of the VEIL of 2005, which states in relevant part that “the Board is required to adopt 

standards necessary for the enhanced inspection and maintenance program within 120 days after 

the [Agency] proposes those standards to the Board[.]” SR at 2. Section 13C-20(a) further states 

that:

... subsection (b) of Section 27 of the Environmental Protection Act and the 

rulemaking provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act do not apply 

to rules adopted by the Board under this subsection. SR at 2, citing 625 ILCS 

5/13C-20(a).

SUMMARY OF AGENCY PROPOSAL

Agency Statement of Reasons

The Agency states that this rulemaking implements P.A. 97-0106. SR at 6. The 

amendments “include a repeal of the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity emissions 

tests, exemption of pre-2007 heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR between 8,501 and 14,000 

pounds and any heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds, and the addition 

of a new visual inspection test.” Id. The Agency notes that the amendments are effective 

February 1, 2012. Id.

The Agency states that, as a result of sunsetting the steady-state idle and evaporative 

integrity test standards used in the Illinois program as of February 1, 2012, the Illinois program 

“will continue to be an OBD program – testing subject vehicles using the OBD test, with the 

exception of a miniscule subset of vehicles that cannot receive the OBD test.” SR at 6-7. These 

vehicles will receive the new visual inspection test. Id. at 7. The Agency states that this new 

visual inspection test will provide motorists with the same flexibility they were allowed to 

receive with the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity tests where there vehicles 

were unable to receive the OBD test. Id. The visual inspection test standards provide that 

vehicles subject to the test will fail the test if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) does not 

illuminate in the key-on/engine off position or continuously illuminates in the key-on/engine off 

position. Id. The Agency states that the visual inspection test and standards are consistent with 

P.A. 97-0106 and are consistent with federal law, making them the most logical substitute for the 

OBD test and standards. Id.

The Agency is also proposing amendments to its I/M procedural rules, 25 Ill. Adm. Code 

Part 276, “to implement P.A. 97-0106 and to operate in concert with these proposed 

amendments.” SR at 8. The amendments include the sunset of the steady-state idle and 

evaporative system integrity test procedures and related requirements, and new visual inspection 

test procedures. Id. The rulemaking also proposes that compliance with the visual inspection 

test standards must be determined based on a visual examination of the MIL using the visual 

inspection test procedures adopted by the Agency in Part 276. Id.

Pre-Filed Testimony of Michael Hills

Mr. Hills is an engineer with the Technical Services Section of the Illinois Vehicle 

Inspection and Maintenance Program at the Agency. Test. at 1. Mr. Hills makes a number of 

supplementary points to the Agency proposal in his pre-filed testimony.

Mr. Hills states that P.A. 97-0106 requires the Agency to optimize the I/M Program to 

continue to meet the federal Clean Air Act inspection and maintenance requirement “in a more 

cost effective manner.” Test. at 1. Mr. Hills states that, as a result, the Agency designed a test 

program “that minimizes costs and improves consumer acceptance by focusing on the fleet of 

vehicles that will exist in the 2012 through 2020 time period.” Id.
6

Mr. Hills notes that, as a result of P.A. 97-0106, the Agency will be prohibited from 

using the steady-state idle and gas cap emissions tests after January 31, 2012. Test. at 2. Mr. 

Hills states that the decision to eliminate these tests “was based on modeling projections showing 

negligible emission reduction benefits, a declining subject vehicle fleet, and significant longterm costs for continued use of these test procedures.” Id. Mr. Hills also notes that federal 

regulations allow states to vary the model year and vehicle type coverage in their programs. Id.

Mr. Hills states that less than 3% of the vehicle tests in Illinois are steady-state idle

exhaust/gas cap tests. Test. at 2. Mr. Hills further states that, starting with the 2007 model year 

onwards, heavy duty vehicles with a GVWR of less than 14,000 are required to be equipped with 

OBD technology. Id. Therefore, the projected number of steady-state idle exhaust/gas cap tests 

conducted in Illinois is expected to fall to less than 1% by 2015. Id. at 2-3. Mr. Hills states that 

these tests and standards are no longer economically reasonable. Id. at 3.

Mr. Hills states that modeling projections of the expected 2012 Illinois fleet show that 

approximately 90% of the volatile organic compound (VOC) reductions would come from OBD 

equipped vehicles. Test. at 3. Mr. Hills notes that the loss in VOC reductions will be 0.00 tons 

per day for the projected range from 2012 through 2020 in the Chicago and Metro East nonattainment areas. Id. Mr. Hills further notes that the General Assembly “decided it was 

technically feasible and economically reasonable to eliminate the requirement for any steadystate idle exhaust/gas cap testing in the Illinois I/M program. Id.

Mr. Hills contends that the main change the proposal seeks to make to implement P.A. 

97-0106 is to sunset all Subpart D (steady-state idle mode test emission standards) and Subpart F 

(evaporative test standards) standards contained in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 240, beginning February 1, 

2012. Test. at 3. Mr. Hills notes that the addition of the visual inspection test is necessary to 

handle certain vehicles that are equipped with OBD technology, but for which OBD testing is not 

possible due to the vehicle’s design. Id. Mr. Hills contends that, without this test, “these 

vehicles would not be able to pass an OBD test and the motorist would have no means of 

correcting the problem and renewing the vehicle’s registration.” Id. at 4. Mr. Hills sees this as 

“an undue burden on the motorist.” Id.

Mr. Hills states that the Agency will make the determination as to which vehicles are 

eligible for the visual inspection test and that the Agency will develop a list of such vehicles. 

Test. at 4. At hearing, Mr. Hills indicated that, currently, there are three vehicle models on the 

list which the Agency has encountered over the years of testing. Tr. at 12-13.

Mr. Hills states that the visual inspection test standards are based on long-standing 

practice within the I/M community and federal law and the test is technically feasible. Test. at 4. 

By ensuring that the MIL functions correctly (through the “key-on/engine off” check), a motorist 

is able to be alerted when the OBD system detects potential problems with the vehicle’s 

emissions control equipment. Id. at 4-5. The “key-on, engine on” check verifies that there are 

no fault codes stored on the vehicle’s OBD system which would require the illumination of the 

MIL. Id. at 5. Mr. Hills notes that the OBD system stores fault codes whenever it detects 

possible problems with the vehicle’s emissions control equipment and that these codes are used 

by repair technicians to help identify areas to focus on during repairs. Id.
7

Mr. Hills also contends that the visual inspection tests are economically reasonable 

because they will not require any new test equipment and therefore will not incur any additional 

costs to Illinois or motorists. Test. at 5.

DISCUSSION

Board Procedure

Because Section 13C-20(a) of the VEIL of 2005 (625 ILCS 5/13C-20(a)(2010)) requires 

the Board to adopt rules within 120 days of receiving the Agency’s proposal, the Board

submitted the proposal to publication in the Illinois Register as a proposal for public comment

without commenting on its substantive merits.

Under Section 13C-20(a) of the VEIL of 2005 (625 ILCS 5/13C-20(a) (2010)), Section 

27(b) of the Act (415 ICLS 5/27(b) (2010)) and the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative

Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1 et seq. (2010)) “do not apply to rules adopted by the Board under 

this subsection.” 625 ILCS 5/13C-20(a) (2010). Accordingly, the Board did not request that the 

Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity conduct an economic impact study of this 

rulemaking proposal. The Board also did not submit the proposal to first or second notice 

pursuant to Section 5-40 of the Administrative Procedure Act. (5 ILCS 100/5-40 (2010)). The 

Board did, however, conduct two hearings and solicit comment as described above.

Affected Regions and Sources

The Agency lists the geographic regions subject to this rulemaking to include those 

“affected counties” as defined in Section 13C-5 of the VEIL of 2005. SR at 8. Specifically, the 

following counties located in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis areas are affected: “Cook, 

DuPage and Lake, and portions of Kane, Kendall, McHenry, Will, Madison, Monroe and St. 

Clair.” Id.

The Agency states that the sources affected by the proposal include “motor vehicles 

subject to the provisions of the VEIL of 2005 and the owners of such vehicles.” SR at 8. While 

the Agency did not include a list of affected sources with the proposal due to the burden of 

compiling such a substantial list, the Agency does estimate that, for the 2012/2013 test cycle, 

there will be 3.6 million initial tests conducted in Illinois. Id. The Agency does not believe that 

affected sources will be negatively impacted by this rulemaking because the proposal “reduces 

the population of affected vehicles and, through the new visual inspection test, provides the same 

flexibility that the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity tests provided for vehicles 

that cannot receive the OBD test due to the vehicle’s design or with known OBD communication 

or software problems.” Id.

Technical Feasibility

The Agency contends that the proposal is technically feasible. SR at 9. As of February 

1, 2012, the steady-state idle and evaporative system integrity emissions tests are not allowed by 
8

statute nor are they necessary because they were implemented for use on the subset of heavyduty vehicles that P.A. 97-0106 exempts from the emission testing requirement. Id., citing TSD. 

The Agency further contends that these tests are not required by federal law or regulations where 

the OBD test is utilized. SR at 9.

The Agency states that modeling projections indicate that this proposal will lead to “no 

loss in emission reduction benefits” and that the new visual inspection test will provide motorists 

with the same flexibility they were able to receive through the steady-state idle and evaporative 

system integrity tests. SR at 9. The Agency contends that the visual inspection test and 

standards are necessary in order to implement P.A. 97-0106 and to provide motorists with 

continued flexibility. Id. The Agency further notes that the test and standards are feasible 

because they are based on the existing OBD test required by federal regulations. Id.

Economic Reasonableness

The Agency believes that the proposal is reasonable “because elimination of the steadystate idle and evaporative system integrity emissions tests and exemption of certain heavy-duty 

vehicles will result in a significant cost savings to the Illinois program and a potential cost 

savings to motorists that own these vehicles.” SR at 10. The Agency contends that these tests 

are not economically reasonable to retain given the small percentage of vehicles that receive 

these tests. Id. The Agency further states that the new visual inspection test and standards will 

not result in increased costs to the Illinois program or motorists. Id.

Summary of Agency’s Proposal

After conducting two public hearings and reviewing the Agency’s proposal, the Board 

finds the proposal is both technically feasible and economically reasonable. The Board therefore 

concludes to adopt the amendments to Part 240.

JCAR Comments

On November 3, 2011, the Board received comments from JCAR regarding the Agency 

proposal. Based on these comments, the adopted language removes a Board note from the Part 

240 table of contents and also incorporates five non-substantive, grammatical changes proposed 

by JCAR.

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS OF THE ADOPTED RULES

In the following subsections, the Board summarizes the adopted amendments to its 

vehicle emissions inspection regulations. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 240.

Section 240.102: Definitions

This section establishes the definitions used in Part 240. The Board updates this section 

to add a definition of “visual inspection test,” which is necessary for the adopted Subpart I. SR 

at 11. The Board also makes two grammatical revisions. Tr. at 9-10.

Section 240.104: Inspection

This section establishes references to various emission standards that subject vehicles 

must comply with when tested. The Board adds a reference to the visual inspection test 

standards, which is necessary for the adopted Subpart I. SR at 11.

Section 240.105: Penalties

This section establishes penalties for noncompliance with various standards contained in 

Part 240. The Board adds a reference to the visual inspection test standards, which is necessary 

for the adopted Subpart I. SR at 11. The Board also makes two grammatical revisions. Tr. at 

10-11.

Section 240.106: Determination of Violation

This section establishes the methods for determining violations of various standards 

contained in Part 240. The Board adds a reference to the visual inspection test standards, which 

is necessary for the adopted Subpart I. SR at 11.

Subpart D: Steady-State Idle Mode Test Emission Standards

Section 240.151: Applicability

This section establishes the applicability of the steady-state idle test standards. The board 

clarifies the applicability of this section because the steady-state idle test will not be allowed by 

statute after January 31, 2012. SR at 12. Therefore, the applicability of this subpart must specify 

that these test standards are applicable only through January 31, 2012. Id.

Subpart F: Evaporative Test Standards

Section 240.171: Applicability

This section establishes the applicability of the evaporative system integrity test 

standards. The Board clarifies the applicability of this section because the evaporative system 

integrity test will not be allowed by statute after January 31, 2012. SR at 11-12. Therefore, the 

applicability of this subpart must specify that these test standards are applicable only through 

January 31, 2012. Id. at 12.
10

Subpart I: Visual Inspection Test Standards

Section 240.201: Applicability

This section establishes the applicability of the visual inspection test standards. By 

statute, this section is applicable beginning February 1, 2012 and applies to those vehicles tested 

pursuant to Section 13C-25(h) of the VEIL of 2005, as amended. SR at 12. The Board also 

makes one grammatical revision. Tr. at 11.

Section 240.202: Visual Inspection Test Standards

This section establishes the visual inspection test standards for subject vehicles. The 

Board adopts language stating that vehicles will fail the visual inspection test if the MIL does not 

illuminate in the key-on/engine off position or continuously illuminates in the key-on/engine on 

position. SR at 12.

Section 240.203: Compliance Determination

The section establishes the method for determining compliance with the visual inspection 

test standards. The Board adopts language stating that compliance with the visual inspection test 

standards contained in adopted Section 240.202 is determined by using the visual inspection test 

procedures adopted by the Agency in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 276.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons stated above, the Board adopts amendments to its vehicle emissions 

inspection regulations. In the order below, the Board directs the Clerk to provide publication of 

the adopted rules in the Illinois Register.

13) Will these amendments re,place emergency amendments curreptly in effect? No. 

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

15) Summary and Purpose of Amendments: These amendments amend Part 240 to reflect an 

amendment (P.A. 97-0106) to the·Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of2005 (VEIL of 

2005) (625 ILCS 5/13C). P.A. 97-0106 amends the VEIL of2005 by repealing the 

steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative system integrity emissions inspection tests. 

These inspection tests were substituted for the on-board diagnostic (OBD) test for heavyduty vehicles not required to be equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD IT 

specifications and certain vehicles that could not receive the OBD test due to their design 

or with known OBD communication or software problems. P .A. 97-0106 exempts pre2007 heavy-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVRW) between 8,501 and 

14,000 pounds and any heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds 

from the requirements to be tested. These heavy-duty vehicles are not all required to be 

equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II specifications. Also, P.A. 97-0106 

adds a visual inspection test as a new substitute for the OBD test for vehicles that cannot 

receive the OBD test due to their design or with known OBD communication or software 

problems. P.A. 97-0106 makes other relatively minor changes and is effective February 

1, 2012. 

The amendments to Part 240 specify that the steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative 

system integrity inspection test standards are effective only through January 31, 2012. 

Also, the amendments add visual inspection test standards that are effective beginning 

February 1, 2012 and add a definition of''visual inspection test." Finally, the 

amendments make other minor changes consistent with the addition of the new visual 

inspection test standards.

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

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

15) Summary and Purpose of Amendments: These amendments amend Part 240 to reflect an 

amendment (P.A. 97-0106) to the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of2005 (VEIL of 

2005) (625ILCS 5/13C). P.A. 97-0106 amends the VEIL of2005 by repealing the 

steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative system integrity emissions inspection tests. 

These inspection tests were substituted for the on-board diagnostic (OBD) test for heavyduty vehicles not required to be equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II 

specifications and certain vehicles that could not receive the OBD test due to their design 

or with known OBD communication or software problems. P.A. 97-0106 exempts pre2007 heavy-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVR W) between 8,501 and 

14,000 pounds and any heavy-duty vehicles with a GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds 

from the requirements to be tested. These heavy-duty vehicles are not all required to be 

equipped with OBD systems meeting federal OBD II specifications. Also, P.A. 97-0106 

adds a visual inspection test as a new substitute for the OBD test for vehicles that cannot 

receive the OBD test due to their design or with known OBD communication or software 

problems. P .A. 97-0106 makes other relatively minor changes and is effective February 

1, 2012. 

The amendments to Part 240 specify that the steady-state idle exhaust and evaporative 

system integrity inspection test standards are effective only through January 31, 2012. 

Also, the amendments add visual inspection test standards that are effective beginning 

February 1, 2012 and add a definition of "visual inspection test." Finally, the 

amendments make other minor changes consistent with the addition of the new visual 

inspection test standards.
