RII-23 (Subdocket A)

(Rulemaking - Air)

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore)

In a separate opinion and order today, the Board adopted for second notice review

proposed amendments to Parts 211,218, and 219 ofits air pollution regulations. See 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 2II, 218, 219. On March 7, 2011, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency) initiated that rulemaking by filing a proposal under authorities including the "fasttrack" provisions at Section 28.5 ofthe Environmental Protection Act (Act). See Public Act 96-

0308, eff. Aug. 11,2009 (re-enacting repealed Section 28.5). First notice ofthe proposed

amendments appeared in the Illinois Register on April 1, 2011. 35 Ill. Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

In comments filed on May 16, 2011, the Agency proposed to amend Sections 218.208

and 219.208 by adding a "small container exemption" for pleasure craft surface coating

operations. The Board today opens this Subdocket (A) in order to address these two sections,

neither ofwhich had been included in the Board's first-notice opinion and order. see 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 218.208, 219.208; Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile

Organic Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial Products:

Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, Rl1-23 (Mar. 17,2011); see

also 35111. Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

In this order in Subdocket (A), the Board directs the Clerk to provide first-notice

publication ofthe proposed amendments to Sections 218.208 and 219.208 in the Illinois

Register, and the Board will proceed under the general rulemaking authority of Sections 27 and

28 ofthe Act. The Board intends to receive comments for 45 days after publication but does not

now intend to schedule an additional hearing. The Board anticipates issuing a second-notice

opinion and order in Subdocket (A) soon afterthe conclusion ofthe 45-day comment period.

DISCUSSION

On April 15,2011, Mr. James Sell pre-filed testimony (Sell Test.) on behalf ofthe

American Coatings Association (ACA). Mr. James Sell's testimony indicated that a number of

coating regulations addressing VOM "include a small container exemption confined to not

exceed a litre or a quart." Sell. Test. at 11. He stated that the basis for these exemptions "is to
2

allow for small repairs and touches ups to existing coatings that if done in a timely manner can

often avoid larger paint jobs later." !d. He argued that these limited uses of "the higher VOC

materials actually reduce overall VOC emissions by allowing such repairs and touch ups to avoid

complete overall or redo paint jobs." Id.

The Agency's post-hearing comments (pC 2, PC 4) responded that USEPA would accept

such a small container exemption. PC 2 at 10; PC 4 at 3. Accordingly, the Agency proposed to

amend Section 218/219.208(c) and (e). PC 2 at at 17,26-27 (adding cross-references to Section

218/219.l87(q)(5)).

Although the Board recognizes the ACA's statement in support of a small container

exemption and notes both USEPA's and the Agency's position on including one in the

regulations, the Agency's original proposal did not seek to amend this section (see SR; Prop.

218; Prop. 219). In this "fast-track" rulemaking under Section 28.5 ofthe Act, the Board did not

submit either Section 218.208 or 219.208 to first-notice publication in the Illinois Register. See

51LCS 100/5-40(b) (2010) ("Each agency shall give at least 45 days' notice ofits intended

action to the general public. This first notice period shall commence on the first day the notice

appears in the Illinois Register."); Reasonably Available Control Technology @ACT) for

Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial

Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, Rll-23 (Mar. 17,

2011); see also 35 Ill. Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

In a separate order on this date in docket RII "23, the Board noted that it had not provided

this first-notice publication and could not move Section 218.208 and 219.208 to second-notice

review. The Board concluded that the best procedure was to open a subdocket (A) to provide

first notice publication of Sections 218.208 and 219.208 while allowing the remainder ofthe

proposal to proceed to second notice. Reasonably Available Control Technology CRACT) for

Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial

Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, Rll-23 (June 16,

2011), citing Steel and Foundry Industry Amendments to the Landfill Regulations (parts 810

through 815 and 817), R90-26 (A,B), slip op. at 3 (Mar. 31,1994).

CONCLUSION

In a separate order today in docket RII-23, the Board proposed for second-notice review

amendments to recently-promulgated rules controlling emission ofVOM from various consumer

and commercial product categories. In that order, the Board noted comments proposing addition

of a small container exemption for pleasure craft coatings, an issue raised for the first time after

first-notice publication ofthe Agency's original proposal.

The Board today opens this Subdocket (A) in order to address this proposed small

container exemption without delaying second.notice review ofthe remainder ofthe proposal. In

its order below, the Board authorizes first-notice publication of a proposal to amend Sections

218.208 and 219.208 ofits air pollution regulations, as requested by the Agency. Publication of

the proposal commences a 45-day comment period. The Board does not now intend to schedule
3

an additional hearing in this docket and anticipates issuing a second-notice opinion and order in

Subdocket (A) soon after the conclusion ofthe 45-day comment period.

In taking this action today the Board notes that neither the ACA nor the Agency has

specifically addressed the economic reasonableness or the technical feasibility ofthis proposal.

The Board invites comment from the participants on those issues during the first-notice comment

period.

ORDER

The Board directs the Clerk to cause first-notice publication ofthe following proposed

amendments to the Board's regulations in the Illinois Register. The Board has underlined

proposed additions and struck through proposed deletions.

SUBPART F: COATING OPERATIONS 

Section 218.208 Exemptions from Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 218.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture 

systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source 

would not be subject to the limitations of Section 218.204(b) of this Subpart if the 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 10203

 11 

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT 

combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control 

devices.) Prior to May 1, 2012, volatile organic material emissions from heavy 

off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM 

emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and 

products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or operator of a 

coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 218.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specified in Section 218.211(a) of this Subpart if total 

VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices 

and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 218.204 of this 

Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations 

in Section 218.204 of this Subpart the coating lines are always subject to the 

limitations in Section 218.204 of this Subpart. 

b) Applicability for wood furniture coating 

1) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines if the source contains process emission units, not regulated 

by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart), H 

(excluding Section 218.405 of this Part), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

218.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, or BB of this Part, which as a group both: 

A) Have a maximum theoretical emissions of 91 Mg (100 tons) or 

more per calendar year of VOM if no air pollution control 

equipment were used; and 

B) Are not limited to less than 91 Mg (100 tons) of VOM per calendar 

year if no air pollution control equipment were used, through 

production or capacity limitations contained in a federally 

enforceable permit or SIP revision. 

2) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process 

emission units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25

tons) or more of VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to 

less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per calendar year through production 

or capacity limitations contained in a federally enforceable operating 

permit or SIP revision, and that: 

A) Are not regulated by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 

218.204(l) of this Subpart), H, Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

218.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part; and 

B) Are not included in any of the following categories: synthetic 

organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) distillation, 

SOCMI reactors, plastic parts coating (business machines), plastic 

parts coating (other), offset lithography, industrial wastewater, 

autobody refinishing, SOCMI batch processing, volatile organic 

liquid storage tanks and clean-up solvents operations. 

3) If a source ceases to fulfill the criteria of subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 

Section, the limitations of Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart shall continue 

to apply to any wood furniture coating line which was ever subject to the 

limitations of Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart. 

4) For the purposes of subsection (b) of this Section, an emission unit shall 

be considered to be regulated by a Subpart if it is subject to the limitations 

of that Subpart. An emission unit is not considered regulated by a Subpart 

if it is not subject to the limits of that Subpart, e.g., the emission unit is 

covered by an exemption in the Subpart or the applicability criteria of the 

Subpart are not met. 

5) Any owner or operator of a wood furniture coating line to which the 

limitations of this Subpart are not applicable due to the criteria in 

subsection (b) of this Section shall, upon request by the Agency or the 

USEPA, submit records to the Agency and the USEPA within 30 calendar 

days from the date of the request that document that the coating line is 

exempt from the limitations of this Subpart. 

c) On and after March 15, 1996, the limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to 

touch-up and repair coatings used by a coating source described by Section 

218.204(b), (d), (f), (g), and (i), and (q)(5) of this Subpart; provided that the 

source-wide volume of such coatings used does not exceed 0.95 1 (1 quart) per

eight-hour period or exceed 209 1/yr (55 gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month period. 

Recordkeeping and reporting for touch-up and repair coatings shall be consistent 

with subsection (e) of this Section. 

d) Prior to May 1, 2012, the limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to touch-up 

and repair coatings used by a coating source described by Section 218.204(j), (n), 

and (o) of this Subpart, provided that the source-wide volume of the coatings used 

does not exceed 0.95 l (1 quart) per eight-hour period or exceed 209 l/yr (55 

gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month period. Recordkeeping and reporting for touchup and repair coatings shall be consistent with subsection (e) of this Section. 

e) On and after March 15, 1996, the owner or operator of a coating line or a group of 

coating lines using touch-up and repair coatings that are exempted from the 

limitations of Section 218.204(b), (d), (f), (g), (i), (j), (n), and (o), and (q)(5) of 

this Subpart because of the provisions of subsection 218.208(c) or (d) of this 

section shall: 

1) Collect and record the name, identification number, and volume used of 

each touch-up and repair coating, as applied on each coating line, per 

eight-hour period and per month; 

2) Perform calculations on a daily basis, and maintain at the source records 

of such calculations, of the combined volume of touch-up and repair 

coatings used source-wide for each eight-hour period; 

3) Perform calculations on a monthly basis, and maintain at the source 

records of such calculations, of the combined volume of touch-up and 

repair coatings used source-wide for the month and the rolling 12 month 

period; 

4) Prepare and maintain at the source an annual summary of the information 

required to be compiled pursuant to subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this 

Section on or before January 31 of the following year; 

5) Maintain at the source for a minimum period of three years all records 

required to be kept under this subsection (e) and make such records 

available to the Agency upon request; 

6) Notify the Agency in writing if the use of touch-up and repair coatings at

SUBPART F: COATING OPERATIONS 

Section 219.208 Exemptions From Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 219.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture 

systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source 

would not be subject to the limitations of Section 219.204(b) of this Subpart if the 

combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control 

devices.) Prior to May 2012, volatile organic material emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and 

products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or operator of a 

coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(a) of this Subpart if total 

VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices 

and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 219.204 of this 

Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations 

in Section 219.204 of this Part the coating lines are always subject to the 

limitations in Section 219.204 of this Subpart.

coating lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process 

emission units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25 

tons) or more of VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to 

less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per calendar year through production 

or capacity limitations contained in a federally enforceable operating 

permit or SIP revision, and that: 

A) Are not regulated by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 

219.204(l) of this Subpart), H, Q, R, S, T (excluding Section

(Rulemaking - Air)

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore)

The Board today adopts for second-notice review by the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules (lCAR) a proposal amending its air pollution regulations addressing

emission ofvolatile organic material (VOM). This proposal stems from comments filed on May

16, 2011, in the underlying rulemaking docket RII-23 by the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (Agency). The Agency proposed to amend Sections 218.208 and 219.208 by adding a

"small container exemption" for pleasure craft surface coating operations. 35 Ill. Adm. Code

218.208,219.208. On June 16,2011, the Board opened this Subdocket (A) in order to address

those two sections, neither ofwhich had been included in the Board's first-notice opinion and

order in RII-23. See Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic

Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial Products: Proposed

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, Rl1-23 (Mar. 17,2011); see also 35 Ill.

Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

First notice ofthe amendments proposed in this subdocket (A) appeared in the Illinois

Register on July 1,2011, 35 Ill. Reg. 10189, 10207 (July 1,2011). The Board did not receive a

comment during the statutory 45-day comment period. See 5 ILCS 100/5-40(b) (20 I0). The

Board submits the proposal without substantive amendment to second-notice review by JCAR.

In the opinion below, the Board first provides the procedural history ofthis subdocket

befor.e summarizing its first-notice opinion and order. The Board next discusses the issues of

economic reasonableness and technical feasibility before reaching its conclusion on the proposed

amendments. Finally, the Board's order directs the Clerk to file the proposed amendments with

JCAR for second-notice review under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (see 5 ILCS

100/5-40(c) (2010».

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

In the underlying rulemaking docket RII-23, the Board on June 16,2011 adopted its

second-notice opinion and order. Reasonably Available Control Technology (MCT) for

Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial
2

Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218. and 219, RII-23 (June 16,

2011). In the same order, the Board opened this subdocket (A) in which to consider additional

amendments to the VOM regulations while allowing the underlying proposal to proceed to

adoption. Id., slip op. at 58-59.

In this subdocket (A), the Board on June 16,2011, adopted its first-notice opinion and

order. In the Matter of: Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile

Organic Material Emissions from Group IV Consumer & Commercial Products: Proposed

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.208 and 219.208, RII-23(A) (June 16,2011). Firstnotice publication ofthe proposal appeared in the Illinois Register on July 1,2011. 35 Ill. Reg.

10189,10207 (July 1,2011). The Board did not receive a comment during the first-notice

period.

SUMMARY OF FIRST-NOTICE OPINION AND ORDER

On April 15, 2011, in the underlying docket RII-23, Mr. James Sell pre-filed testimony

(Sell Test.) on behalf ofthe American Coatings Association (ACA) (Sell. Test.). Mr. Sell's

testimony indicated that a number of coating regulations addressing VOM "include a small

container exemption confined to not exceed a litre or a quart." Sell. Test. at II. He stated that

the basis for these exemptions "is to allow for small repairs and touches ups to existing coatings

that if done in a timely manner can often avoid larger paint jobs later." Id. He argued that these

limited uses of "the higher VOC materials actually reduce overall VOC emissions by allowing

such repairs and touch ups to avoid complete overall or redo paint jobs." Id.

The Agency responded that USEPA would accept such a small container exemption.

Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic Material Emissions

from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35

Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, RIl-23, slip op. at 10 (May 16,2011) (Agency post-hearing

comments). Accordingly, the Agency proposed to amend Sections 218.208(c) and (e) and

219.208(c) and (e). Id. at 17,26-27 (adding cross-references to Section 218/219.l87(q)(5)).

The Board's second-notice opinion and order in RII-23 recognized ACA's support for a

small container exemption and noted both USEPA's and the Agency's position on including one

in the regulations. Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic

Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV COnsumer and Commercial Products: Proposed

Amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219,Rl1-23, slip op. at 59 (June 16,2011).

However, the Agency's original proposal had not sought to amend Section 218.208 or 219.208.

Because RII-23 was a "fast-track" rulemaking under Section 28.5 ofthe Act, the Board had not

submitted either ofthose sections to first-notice publication. Id. (Mar. 17,2011); see 5 ILCS

100/5-40(b) (2010) ("Each agency shall give at least 45 days' notice ofits intended action to the

general public. This first notice period shall commence on the first day the notice appears in the

Illinois Register."); 35 III. Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

In a June 16,2011 order in docket Rl1-23, the Board noted that it could not submit

Sections 218.208 and 219.208 to second-notice review by JCAR. The Board concluded that the

best procedure was to open a subdocket (A) to provide first notice publication of Sections
3

218.208 and 219.208 while allowing the remainder ofthe "fast-track" rulemaking proposal to

proceed to second notice. Reasonahly Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile

ECONOMIC REASONABLESS AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

In submitting its proposed amendments to first-notice publication, the Board noted that

neither the ACA nor the Agency has specifically addressed the economic reasonableness or the

technical feasibility ofthis proposal. In the Matter of: Reasonably Available Control

Technology (MCT) for Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group IV Consumer &

Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35111. Adm. Code 218.208 and 219.208, RI 1-
5

23(A), slip op. at 3 (June 16, 2011). The Board invited comment from the participants on those

issues during the first-notice comment period. Id.

Although the Board did not receive a first-notice comment, it notes that the proposal

provides a limited exemption to the YOM regulations for small containers. The Board notes Mr.

Sell's statement in support ofthis exemption that it allows for small repairs that may avoid

having to re-coat larger areas or surfaces. He also stated that this exemption may reduce overall

YOM emissions by allowing such repairs in the place of completely re-coating larger surfaces.

The Board also notes that the record reflects the Agency's and USEPA's concurrence with the

proposed exemption. As the record lacks any indication to the contrary, the Board concludes

that the proposed limited exemption is both technically feasible and economically reasonable

CONCLUSION

In its first-notice opinion and order in this subdocket RII-23(A), the Board proposed to

amend Sections 218.208 and 219.208 ofits air pollution regulations. In that order, the Board

noted comments proposing addition of a small container exemption for pleasure craft coatings,

an issue raised for the first time after first~notice publication ofthe Agency's original proposal.

Above, the Board has summarized its first-notice proposal and comment upon it. The Board has

concluded above that the proposal is both economically reasonable and technically feasible.

Accordingly, the Board concludes that the record supports proceeding to second-notice review

without substantive amendment. In its order below, the Board directs the Clerk to file the

proposed amendments with JCAR for second-notice review.

ORDER

The Board directs the Clerk to file the following proposed amendments with JCAR for

Rll-23 (Subdocket A)

(Rulemaking - Air)

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore)

The Board today adopts amendments to its air pollution regulations addressing emission

of volatile organic material (YOM). These amendments stem from comments filed by the

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) on May 16, 2011, in the underlying

rulemaking docket RII-23. The Agency proposed to amend Sections 218.208 and 219.208 by

adding a "small container exemption" for pleasure craft surface coating operations. Because

neither section had been included in the Board's first-notice opinion and order in Rll-23 , the

Board on June 16,2011, opened this Subdocket (A) and submitted the proposal to first-notice

publication. On September 22, 2011, the Board adopted its second-notice opinion and order. At

its meeting on October II, 2011, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) issued its

Certificate ofNo Objection to the Board's proposal. The Board today adopts its final order in

this rulemaking.

In the opinion below, the Board first provides the procedural history ofthis subdocket

before summarizing its first-notice opinion and order. The Board next discusses the issues of

economic reasonableness and technical feasibility before reaching its conclusion on the proposed

amendments. Finally, the Board's order directs the Clerk to file the adopted rules with the

Secretary of State for publication in the Illinois Register.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

In the underlying rulemaking docket RII-23, the Board on June 16,20II adopted its

second-notice opinion and order. Reasonably Available Control Technology CRACT) for

Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial

Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211, 218, and 219, Rll-23 (June 16,

2011). In the same order, the Board opened this subdocket (A) for consideration of additional

amendments while allowing the underlying proposal to proceed to adoption. Id., slipop. at 58-

59.

In this subdocket (A), the Board on June 16,2011, adopted its first-notice opinion and

Organic Material Emissions from Group IV Consumer & Commercial Products: Proposed

Amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code 218.208 and 219.208, RII-23(A) (June 16,2011). Firstnotice publication ofthe proposal appeared in the Illinois Register on July 1,2011. 35 Ill. Reg.

10189,10207 (July 1,2011). The Board did not receive a comment during the first-notice

period.

On September 22, 2011, the Board adopted its second-notice opinion and order. At its

meeting on October II, 2011, JCAR issued its Certificate ofNo Objection to the Board's

proposal.

SUMMARY OF ADOPTED RULES

On April 15,2011, in the underlying docket RII-23, Mr. James Sell pre-filed testimony

(Sell Test.) on behalf ofthe American Coatings Association (ACA). Mr. Sell's testimony

indicated that a number of coating regulations addressing VOM "include a small container

exemption confined to not exceed a litre or a quart." Sell. Test. at II. He stated that the basis

for these exemptions "is to allow for small repairs and touches ups to existing coatings that if

done in a timely manner can often avoid larger paint jobs later." Id. He argued that these limited

uses of "the higher VOC materials actually reduce overall VOC emissions by allowing such

repairs and touch ups to avoid complete overall or redo paint jobs." Id.

The Agency responded that USEPA would accept such a small container exemption.

Reasonably Available Control Technology CRACT) for Volatile Organic Material Emissions

from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35

III. Adm. Code 211. 218, and 219, Rll-23, slip op. at 10 (May 16, 201l) (Agency post-hearing

comments). Accordingly, the Agency proposed to amend Sections 218.208(c) and (e) and

219.208(c) and (e). Id. at 17,26-27 (adding cross-references to Section 218/219.204(q)(5)).

The Board's second-notice opinion and order in RII-23 recognized ACA's support for a

small container exemption and noted both USEPA's and the Agency's position on including one

in the regulations. Reasonably Available Control Technology CRACT) for Volatile Organic

Material Emissions from Group II and Group IV Consumer and Commercial Products: Proposed

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211. 218, and 219, Rll-23, slip op. at 59 (June 16, 2011).

However, the Agency's original proposal had not sought to amend Section 218.208 or 219.208.

Because RII-23 was a "fast-track" rulemaking under Section 28.5 ofthe Act, the Board had not

submitted either ofthose sections to first-notice publication. Id. (Mar. 17,2011); see 5 ILCS

100/5-40(b) (2010) ("Each agency shall give at least 45 days' notice ofits intended action to the

general public. This first notice period shall commence on the first day the notice appears in the

Illinois Register."); 415 ILCS 5/28.5(e)(2010); 35 Ill. Reg. 4887 (Apr. 1,2011).

In a June 16, 20 II order in docket RI1-23, the Board noted that it could not at that time

submit Sections 218.208 and 219.208 to second-notice review by JCAR. The Board opened this

subdocket (A) to provide first notice publication of Sections 218.208 and 219.208 while allowing

the remainder ofthe "fast-track" rulemaking proposal to proceed to second-notice review.

Section 218/219.208(c)

Existing Sections 218.208(c) providesI that,

[o]n and after March 15,1996, the limitations ofthis Subpart shall not apply to

Recordkeeping and reporting for touch-up and repair coatings shall be consistent

with subsection (e) ofthis Section. 35111. Adm. Code 218.208(c).

As the Agency had suggested, the Board's first-notice opinion and order proposed to amend

Sections 218.208(c) and 219.208(c) only by adding a cross reference to Sections 218.204(q)(5)

and 219.204(q)(5), which establish VOM content limits for pleasure craft surface coatings. In

Adm. Code 2 I8.208, any coating used to cover minor scratches

and nicks that occur during manufacturing and assembly processes.

35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.208(e).

As the Agency had suggested, the Board's first-notice opinion and order proposed to amend

Sections 218.208(e) and 219.208(e) only by adding a cross reference to Sections 218.204(q)(5)

and 219.204(q)(5), which establish VOM content limits for pleasure craft surface coatings. In

the Matter of: Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic Material

Emissions from Group IV Consumer & Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 III.

Adm. Code 218.208 and 219.208, RI 1-23(A), slip op. at 2,14,26 (June 16,201 I); see 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 218.204(q)(5), 219.204(q)(5).

As noted above under "Procedural History," the Board did not receive any comment on

its first-notice proposal, and the Board did not amend that proposal at second notice.

ECONOMIC REASONABLESS AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

In submitting its proposed amendments to first-notice publication, the Board noted that

neither the ACA nor the Agency had specifically addressed the economic reasonableness or the

technical feasibility ofthe proposed small container exemption. In the Matter of: Reasonably
5

Available Control Technology (RACT) for Volatile Organic Material Emissions from Group IV

Consumer & Commercial Products: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.208 and

219.208, RII-23(A), slip op. at 3 (June 16,2011). The Board invited comment from participants

on those issues during the first-notice comment period. Id.

Although the Board did not receive a first-notice comment, it noted in its second-notice

opinion and order that the proposal provides a limited exemption from the VOM regulations for

specified small containers. The Board noted Mr. Sell's statement in support ofthis exemption

that it allows for small repairs that may avoid having to re-coat larger areas or surfaces. He also

stated that this exemption may reduce overall VOM emissions by allowing such repairs in the

place of completely re-coating larger surfaces. The Board also noted that the record reflects the

Agency's and USEPA's concurrence with the proposed exemption. As it did in its second-notice

opinion and order, the Board again concludes that the proposal is both technically feasible and

economically reasonable.

CONCLUSION

The Board adopts amendments to Sections 218.208 and 219.208 ofits air pollution

regulations addressing emission ofVOM. Specifically, the Board adopts its original proposal

without substantive amendment.

ORDER

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

for publication in the Illinois Register. Additions to the rules are underlined, and deletions from

them appear stricken.

SUBPART F: COATING OPERATIONS 

Section 218.208 Exemptions from Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 218.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture 

systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source 

would not be subject to the limitations of Section 218.204(b) of this Subpart if the 
 ILLINOIS REGISTER 18826

 11 

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENT 

combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control 

devices.) Prior to May 1, 2012, volatile organic material emissions from heavy 

off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM 

emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and 

products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or operator of a 

coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 218.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specified in Section 218.211(a) of this Subpart if total 

VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices 

and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 218.204 of this 

Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations 

in Section 218.204 of this Subpart the coating lines are always subject to the 

limitations in Section 218.204 of this Subpart. 

b) Applicability for wood furniture coating 

1) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines if the source contains process emission units, not regulated 

by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart), H 

(excluding Section 218.405 of this Part), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

218.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, or BB of this Part, which as a group both: 

A) Have a maximum theoretical emissions of 91 Mg (100 tons) or 

more per calendar year of VOM if no air pollution control 

equipment were used; and 

B) Are not limited to less than 91 Mg (100 tons) of VOM per calendar 

year if no air pollution control equipment were used, through 

production or capacity limitations contained in a federally 

enforceable permit or SIP revision. 

2) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process 

emission units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25

tons) or more of VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to 

less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per calendar year through production 

or capacity limitations contained in a federally enforceable operating 

permit or SIP revision, and that: 

A) Are not regulated by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 

218.204(l) of this Subpart), H, Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

218.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part; and 

B) Are not included in any of the following categories: synthetic 

organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) distillation, 

SOCMI reactors, plastic parts coating (business machines), plastic 

parts coating (other), offset lithography, industrial wastewater, 

autobody refinishing, SOCMI batch processing, volatile organic 

liquid storage tanks and clean-up solvents operations. 

3) If a source ceases to fulfill the criteria of subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this 

Section, the limitations of Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart shall continue 

to apply to any wood furniture coating line which was ever subject to the 

limitations of Section 218.204(l) of this Subpart. 

4) For the purposes of subsection (b) of this Section, an emission unit shall 

be considered to be regulated by a Subpart if it is subject to the limitations 

of that Subpart. An emission unit is not considered regulated by a Subpart 

if it is not subject to the limits of that Subpart, e.g., the emission unit is 

covered by an exemption in the Subpart or the applicability criteria of the 

Subpart are not met. 

5) Any owner or operator of a wood furniture coating line to which the 

limitations of this Subpart are not applicable due to the criteria in 

subsection (b) of this Section shall, upon request by the Agency or the 

USEPA, submit records to the Agency and the USEPA within 30 calendar 

days from the date of the request that document that the coating line is 

exempt from the limitations of this Subpart. 

c) On and after March 15, 1996, the limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to 

touch-up and repair coatings used by a coating source described by Section 

218.204(b), (d), (f), (g), and (i), and (q)(5) of this Subpart; provided that the 

source-wide volume of such coatings used does not exceed 0.95 1 (1 quart) per

SUBPART F: COATING OPERATIONS 

Section 219.208 Exemptions From Emission Limitations 

a) Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating. The 

limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to coating lines within a source, that 

otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 219.204 (because 

they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that 

combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that 

subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture 

systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source 

would not be subject to the limitations of Section 219.204(b) of this Subpart if the 

combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control 

devices.) Prior to May 2012, volatile organic material emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine 

applicability. On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy offhighway vehicle products coating lines shall be combined with VOM emissions 

from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and 

products coating lines to determine applicability. Any owner or operator of a 

coating source shall comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and 

procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) of this Part and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(a) of this Subpart if total 

VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 

kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices 

and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 219.204 of this 

Subpart. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations 

in Section 219.204 of this Part the coating lines are always subject to the 

limitations in Section 219.204 of this Subpart. 

b) Applicability for wood furniture coating

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD 

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENT 

1) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines if the source contains process emission units, not regulated 

by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 219.204(l) of this Subpart), H 

(excluding Section 219.405 of this Part), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 

219.486 of this Part), V, X, Y, Z or BB of this Part, which as a group both: 

A) Have a maximum theoretical emissions of 91 Mg (100 tons) or 

more per calendar year of VOM if no air pollution control 

equipment were used, and 

B) Are not limited to less than 91 Mg (100 tons) of VOM per calendar 

year if no air pollution control equipment were used, through 

production or capacity limitations contained in a federally 

enforceable permit or SIP revision. 

2) The limitations of this Subpart shall apply to a source's wood furniture 

coating lines, on and after March 15, 1996, if the source contains process 

emission units, which as a group, have a potential to emit 22.7 Mg (25 

tons) or more of VOM per calendar year and have not limited emissions to 

less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) of VOM per calendar year through production 

or capacity limitations contained in a federally enforceable operating

covered by an exemption in the Subpart or the applicability criteria of the 

Subpart are not met. 

5) Any owner or operator of a wood furniture coating line to which the 

limitations of this Subpart are not applicable due to the criteria in 

subsection (b) of this Section shall, upon request by the Agency or the 

USEPA, submit records to the Agency and the USEPA within 30 calendar 

days from the date of the request that document that the coating line is 

exempt from the limitations of this Subpart.

touch-up and repair coatings used by a coating source described by Section 

219.204(b), (d), (f), (g), and (i), and (q)(5) of this Subpart; provided that the 

source-wide volume of such coatings used does not exceed 0.95 1 (1 quart) per 

eight-hour period or exceed 209 1/yr (55 gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month period. 

Recordkeeping and reporting for touch-up and repair coatings shall be consistent 

with subsection (d) of this Section. 

d) Prior to May 1, 2012, the limitations of this Subpart shall not apply to touch-up

2) Perform calculations on a daily basis, and maintain at the source records 

of such calculations of the combined volume of touch-up and repair 

coatings used source-wide for each eight-hour period; 

3) Perform calculations on a monthly basis, and maintain at the source 

records of such calculations of the combined volume of touch-up and 

repair coatings used source-wide for the month and the rolling 12 month 

period; 

4) Prepare and maintain at the source an annual summary of the information 

required to be compiled pursuant to subsections (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this 

Section on or before January 31 of the following year;

required to be kept under this subsection (e) and make such records 

available to the Agency upon request; 

6) Notify the Agency in writing if the use of touch-up and repair coatings at 

the source ever exceeds a volume of 0.95 1 (1 quart) per eight-hour period 

or exceeds 209 1/yr (55 gal/yr) for any rolling 12 month period within 30 

days after any such exceedance. Such notification shall include a copy of 

any records of such exceedance; and 

7) "Touch-up and repair coatings" means, for purposes of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
