OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.A. Holbrook): 

!EPA ATIACHMENT NO . .JjQ_ 

On July 13, 2011, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a 

rulemaking proposal intended to reduce emissions of volatile organic material (VOM) from. 

various consumer and commercial products and aerosol coatings. In an order dated January 5, 

2012, the Board submitted proposed amendments to first-notice publication in the Illinois 

Register. See 36111. Reg. 727 (Jan. 20, 2012). During the statutory 45-day first-notice comment 

period (see 5 ILCS 100/5-40(b) (2010)), the Board received no comment on its proposed 

amendments. On March 15, 2012, the Board submitted its first-notice proposal without substantive 

amendment to second-notice review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) (see 5 

ILCS I 00/5-40( c) (20 10)). At its meeting on April 17, 2012, JCAR issued its certificate of no 

objection to the Board's proposal. Today the Board issues its final order adopting amended VOM 

regulations. 

In the opinion below, the Board first provides the procedural background of this 

rulemaking before briefly summarizing its first-notice opinion and order. After discussing issues 

of technical feasibility and economic reasonableness, the Board concludes to adopt amendments 

to its VOM rules in Part 223. Finally, the Board's order sets forth the adopted amendments. 

PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 

On July 13, 2011, the Agency filed a proposal to amend Part 223 of the Board's air 

pollution regulations. Accompanying the proposal were documents including a Statement of 

Reasons (SR) and a Technical Support Document (TSD). The TSD listed as references two 

documents: the first an "Initial Statement of Reasons for the Proposed Amendments to the 

California Aerosol Coating Products, Antiperspirants and Deodorants, and Consumer Products 

Regulations, Test Method 310, and Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Para-Dichlorobenzene 

Solid Air Fresheners and Toilet/Urinal Care Products" (ISOR) by the California Air Resources 

Board (CARB) released May 7, 2004; and the second the Agency's own "Illinois Ozone 

Emissions Inventory for 2008." The Agency also submitted as a source it had relied upon in 

drafting its proposal the "Final Draft of the Model Rule for Consumer Products" prepared by the 
2 

Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) 1 and dated September 13, 2006. The Agency's proposal 

also included a motion for waiver of specified copy requirements. 

In an order dated August 4, 2011, the Board accepted the Agency's proposal for hearing 

and granted the Agency's motion for waiver of copy requirements. Also on August 4, 2011, the 

hearing officer issued an order scheduling a first hearing in Springfield on October 6, 20 II, with 

a deadline of September 22,2011 to pre-file testimony; and a second hearing in Chicago on 

November 17, 2011, with a deadline of November 3, 2011, to pre-file testimony. 

As required by Section 27(b) of the Act (415ILCS 5/27(b) (2010)) the Board requested 

in a letter dated August 4, 2011, that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity 

(DCEO) conduct an economic impact study of the Agency's rulemaking proposal. The Board 

asked DCEO to determine by September 15, 2011, whether it would perform such a study. On 

September 28, 2011, the Board received a response from DCEO. In a letter dated September 20, 

2011, DCEO Director Warren Ribley stated that, "[a]t this time, the Department in unable to 

undet:take such an economic impact study. Therefore, I must respectfully decline your request." 

On September 22,2011, the Agency pre-filed testimony by Mr. Rory Davis (Davis Test.). 

On September 26, 20 I I, Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) pre-filed testimony 

by Mr. Joseph T. Yost. 

The first hearing took place as scheduled on October 6, 2011, in Springfield, and the 

Board received the transcript (Tr.l) on October II, 2011. During the first hearing, the hearing 

officer admitted into the record a single exhibit, the pre-filed testimony of Mr. Davis. Tr.l at 8. 

The second hearing took place as scheduled on November 17, 2011, in Chicago, and the 

Board received the transcript (Tr.2) on November 18, 2011. During the second hearing, the 

hearing officer admitted into the record two exhibits: a list of sources potentially affected by the 

Agency proposal (see Tr.l at 12-13); and the pre-filed testimony of Mr. Yost. Tr.2 at 5, 7. In an 

order dated November 17, 2011, the hearing officer set a deadline of December 14, 2011, to file 

post-hearing comments. 

On December 14, 2011, the Board received post-hearing comments from the following 

entities: CSPA (PC I); Chicago Aerosol, Bridgeview Facility (Chicago Aerosol) (PC 2); the 

Agency (PC 3); and Claire Manufacturing Company (Claire) (PC 4). 

On January 5, 2012, the Board adopted its first-notice opinion and order (Board Opinion). 

See 36 Ill. Reg. 727 (Jan. 20. 2012). The Board did not receive a comment during the 45-day 

first-notice comment period. See 5 ILCS I00/5-40(b) (201 0). On March 15, 2012, the Board 

adopted its second-notice opinion and order. 

1 The Ozone Transport Commission includes the States of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, 

Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 

Vermont, and Virginia, and the District of Columbia. TSD at 8.

At its meeting on April 17, 2012, JCAR issued its certificate of no objection to the 

Board's proposed amendments. 

FIRST-NOTICE OPINION AND ORDER 

In proceeding to first notice on January 5, 2012, the Board adopted a 50-page opinion 

followed by a 34-page order. In post-hearing comments, CSP A, Chicago Aerosol, and Claire 

had recommended that the Board amend Section 223.211 of the Agency's original proposal by 

deleting a restriction on the category of General Purpose Degreasers. See PC I, PC 2, PC 4; see 

also Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 223: Standards and Limitations for Organic 

Material Emissions for Area Sources, Rl2-8, slip op. at 47-49 (Jan. 5, 2012) (summarizing 

testimony and comments). Stressing the participants' stated interest in adopting regulations 

consistent with those of other jurisdictions, the Board declined to delete this restriction and 

submitted it to first-notice publication with the restriction originally proposed by the Agency. !d. 

at 49, 83. 

The Board did not receive a public comment on its proposal during the 45-day first-notice 

comment period. In adopting its second-notice opinion proposal on March 15, 2012, the Board 

did not substantively amend its first-notice proposal. In issuing its certificate of no objection, 

JCAR has proposed only a small number of non-substantive changes, which the Board does not 

discuss in this opinion. Accordingly, substantial portions of the Board's first-notice opinion, 

including the review of the record and conclusions on various issues, support the Board's 

conclusion below to adopt amended YOM regulations. Accordingly, the Board has not 

duplicated various sections of its first-notice opinion and instead refers readers to that opinion 

with regard to various issues. 

Specifically, the Board's first-notice opinion and order summarized the Agency's original 

rulemaking proposal and CSPA's testimony. Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 223: 

Standards and Limitations for Organic Material Emissions for Area Sources, Rl2-8, slip op. at 3-

5 (Jan. 5, 2012). The Board then provided a description of the product categories affected by the 

proposal. !d. at 6-22. Next, the Board addressed the estimated YOM emissions from those 

product categories and the emission reductions projected to result from adoption of the proposal. 

!d. at 22-27. The Board then summarized the record on issues of technical feasibility. !d. at 27-

34. The opinion then considered the cost-effectiveness and economic reasonableness of the 

proposed amendments. !d. at 34-40. The Board then provided a section-by-section summary of 

the record in support of its first-notice proposal. !d. at 40-50. 

The full text of the first notice opinion and order is available under this docket number 

Rl2-8 from the Clerk's Office On-Line, or COOL, through the Board's Web site at 

www.ipcb.state.il.us.

ECONOMIC REASONABLENESS AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY 

Board Request for DCEO Economic Impact Studv 

As required by Section 27(b) of the Act ( 415 ILCS 5/27(b) (201 0)) the Board requested 

in a letter dated August 4, 2011, that DCEO conduct an economic impact study of the Agency's 

rulemaking proposal. The Board requested that DCEO determine no later than September 15, 

2011, whether to conduct such a study. On September 28,2011, the Board received a response 

from DCEO. In a letter dated September 20, 2011, DCEO Director Warren Ribley stated that, 

"[a ]t this time, the Department is unable to unde1take such an economic impact study. 

Therefore, I must respectfully decline your request." During the second hearing, the hea1ing 

officer noted the Board's request and DCEO's response. Tr.2 at 24-25. Although the hearing 

officer afforded those present an opportunity to testify regarding the request and response, no 

participant offered testimony. See id. 

Economic Reasonableness 

In its Statement of Reasons, the Agency argued that its proposed rules are economically 

reasonable. SR at 5. The Agency supported its claim by stating that California, the OTC states, 

Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio have adopted these limits. TSD at 8, 13, 14. Because of this 

widespread adoption, the Agency claimed that many products sold in Illinois already comply 

with the proposed VOM content limits. TSD at 13; SR at 5. The Agency attributed this to the 

formulation and manufacturing of single products for national sales. TSD at 13; see SR at 5; 

Tr.latll-12. 

As additional support for its claim of economic reasonableness, the Agency relied on 

research conducted by CARBon the estimated impact of recent amendments to California's 

rules on affected businesses. SR at 5; see TSD at 15 (Table 3: Estimated Total Costs to 

Businesses Annually); see also lSOR at I-21 -l-23, VIII-174- VII-206. The Agency noted 

CARE's 2004 estimate "that the proposed limits would cost between $4,020 and $4,680 per ton 

ofVOM reduced." SR at 6, citing TSD at 17; see ISOR at VIII-193 (Table VIII-6: Comparison 

of Cost-Effectiveness for ARB Consumer Product Regulations/Measures (adjusted to 2003 

dollars)). Because these amendments have taken effect, the Agency claims that "a significant 

portion of business impact to manufacturers of the affected products may have already been 

realized in Illinois." SR at 6; TSD at 15; see Davis Test. at 3. The Agency's analysis of 

economic effects projected a total statewide cost of $1,600,000 attributable to changing the 

formulation or packaging of various products. The Agency again suggested that manufacturers 

may already have performed these changes and incurred these costs. 

In proceeding to first notice, the Board stated that the record did not persuasively dispute 

the Agency's position that the proposed amendments are economically reasonable. The Board 

found that this position was supported by the adoption of similar regulations in other 

jurisdictions and the availability of compliant products there. The Board also found that 

CARE's analysis provided general support to the Agency's claim. Since proceeding to first 

notice, no addition to the record has disputed this finding. Consequently, the Board finds that the 

amended regulations adopted in the order below are economically reasonable. 
5 

Technical Feasibilitv 

The Agency's Technical Support Document stated that the original proposal was 

technically feasible because "the proposed emission limits are already in place in California, the 

OTC states," and also in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. TSD at 8, 13, 14. The Agency elaborated 

that, because of adoption of the proposed limits in these jurisdictions accounting for nearly half 

of the U.S. population, "compliant products in all categories are widely available .... " TSD at 

13; see SR at 5; Davis Test. at 3. The Agency claimed that many products sold in Illinois 

comply with the proposed VOM limits because manufacturers formulate and manufacture a 

single product for sale on a national basis. TSD at 13; see SR at 5. As further support for its 

claim of feasibility, the Agency relied on technical support prepared by CARB for recent 

amendments to California's rules. SR at 5; see ISOR at III-12- Ill-13, VI-58- VI-142. 

In proceeding to first notice, the Board stated that the record does not persuasively 

challenge the Agency's position that its proposal is technically feasible. The Board found that 

adoption of similar regulations in other jurisdictions and the availability of compliant products 

there provide support for this position. The Board also found that CARB's analysis lends 

general support to the Agency's claim. Since proceeding to first notice, no addition to the record 

has disputed this fmding. Consequently, the Board finds that the amended regulations adopted in 

the order below are technically feasible. 

CONCLUSION 

The Board today adopts amendments to its YOM rules at Part 223 of its air regulations. 

for second notice review by JCAR. Substantively, the Board adopts its first-notice proposal of 

January 5, 2012, without substantive change. In its order below, the Board directs the Clerk to 

submit the proposed amendments to Part 223 to the Secretary of State for publication in the 

Illinois Register. 

ORDER 

The Board directs the Clerk to file the following adopted rules with the Secretary of State

To: Matoesian, Charles 

Cc: Paiws. Ch ri stos@epamai 1 . epa .. gov subject: SIP submittal contents 

charles, 

Thank you for'asking about SIP submittal requirements. USEPA has been 

working to reduce the amount of paper that states need to submit in SIP 

submittals. I would especially point to rulemaking that we published on 

July 16, 2007, at 72 FR 38792, making numerous changes to SIP processing and SIP submittal requirements. Note especially that 40 CFR 51.103 

(''Submission of plans'') now authorizes states to submit 2 hard copies and one electronic copy of a SIP submittal, in lieu of submitting 5 hard 

copies. Indeed, given that we make the SIP available to the public primarily in electronic form, we actually prefer the approach of states 

submitting 2 hard copies accompanied by an electronic copy. 

The official requirements for contents of a submittal are given in 40 

CFR 51 Appendix v, definin9 completeness criteria. However, the state 

must use jud9ment in decid1n9 what materials should be submitted to meet 

these criter1a, especially w1th respect to the technical material that 

justifies the substantive content of the submittal. Nevertheless, the 

following are some specific suggestions: 

- Most of the administrative materials required under Appendix v are 

self explanatory and can be satisfied with brief documentation, commonly just a few pages in len9th. I might suggest using a SIP checklist (like 

many other states do), 1nsofar as it may be an easier and briefer way to 

document that you are meeting the procedural requirements; Let me know 

if you'd like to see a sample. 

-Appendix v 2.1(h) requires a compilation of public comments and the 

state's response thereto; Appendix v does not require submittal of 

hearing transcripts. occasionally the state may decide that a hearing transcript provides useful documentation of an issue pertinent to a 

submittal, but more commonly the comment summary and response is a more 

concise and more useful discussion of pertinent issues. 

- while EPA documents may be an important part of the record in 

Illinois' rulemaking, it is never necessary to submit EPA documents to 

EPA for EPA's rulemaking. 

- Given that the IPCB maintains an electronic docket file for its 

rulemakings, I would suggest that each submittal based on !PCB 

rulemaking provide a link to their docket. This is not a substitute for 

submitting the documents that are necessary to satisfy App. v, but this 

is an appropriate means of alertin9 us to the availability of more 

peripheral documents, such as hear1ng transcripts usually are. 

-with respect to technical support (App. v 2.2), remember that the 

submitted material should be limited to the material that helps us judge the merits of the submittal. The state will need to make judgments for 

Page 1 
Summerhays SIP letter.txt 

each submittal as to the issues that need to be addressed and the types of materials that need to be provided for EPA to conduct its review. 

States have often submitted a substantial volume of material that was 

not necessary for EPA to evaluate the key issues of the submittals. we 

would be happy to consult on what materials to include in particular submittals at your request.
