IN THE MATTER OF:

DEFINITION OF VOM UPDATE, USEPA REGULATIONS (January 1,2009 through June 30, 2009)

Proposed Rule. Proposal for Public Comment. 

### ) ) ) RIO-7 ) (Identical-in-Substance Rulemaking

- Air) )

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):

This rulemaking is designed to update the definition of"volatile organic material" (VOM) in the Board's air pollution regulations (35 

## m. Adm. Code 211.7150). The update is needed to ensure that Illinois' regulations reflect the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) most recent exemption ofchemical compounds from regulation as ozone precursors.
Today the Board adopts a proposal for public comment that would add two compounds to the list ofthose exempted from the definition ofVOM. The first compound is propylene carbonate (PC) (IUPAC name 4-methyl-1 ,3-dioxolan-2-one; CAS no. 108-32-7). The second compound is dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (IUPAC name; CAS no. 616-38-6). USEPA added these compounds to the list ofchemicals exempted from the definition ofVOM codified at 40 C.F.R. 5 1.1 OO(s) on January 21, 2009.

Section 9.1 (e) ofthe Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/9.1 (e) (2008)) mandates this rulcmaking. That statutory provision requires the Board to exclude from the

. definition ofVOM those compounds determined by USEPA to be exempt from regulation under

the state implementation plans for ozone "due to negligible photochemical reactivity." 415ILCS 5/9.I(e) (2008). In addition, Section 9.I(e) ofthe Act requires the Board to conduct this rulemaking pursuant to the provisions ofSection 7.2(b) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2008» for adopting rules that are "identical in substance" to the federal requirements.

Section 9.I(e) also provides that Title VII ofthe Act and Section 5-35 ofthe Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 (2008) do not apply to this type of rulemaking. Accordingly, the Board will not adopt a "First Notice" proposal, or a "Second Notice" proposal for review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. However, as provided in Section 9.I(e) ofthe Act, the Board, before adopting final rule amendments, will provide notice ofthis rulemaking proposal in the Illinois Register, hold one public hearing on the proposal as required by the federal Clean Air Act (33 U.S.c. § 74IO(a) (2006)), and allow for public comment.

The Board reserved this docket to accommodate USEPA amendments to the federal definition ofVOM during the period January 1,2009 through June 30, 2009. USEPA amended2

40 C.F.R. 51.1 OO(s) once during that time, on January 21, 2009. Board action to amendment Illinois definition ofYOM is necessary in response to those USEPA amendments.

In this opinion, the Board first sets forth the timetable for completing this rulemaking, followed by a description ofthe USEPA action necessitating these rule amendments. The Board then provides information on the hearing and public commentperiod for this proceeding. Finally, the Board summarizes the history offederal and Illinois actions dealing with YOM exemptions. The Board's proposed rule amendments to the definition ofYOM are set forth in the order following this opinion.

TIMETABLE FOR COMPLETING THIS RULEMAKING

Under Section 7.2(b) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 517.2(b) (2008)), the Board must complete this rulemaking within one year after the date ofthe earliest set offederal amendments considered in this docket. USEPA adopted such amendments on January 21,2009. Therefore, the deadline for the Board to adopt these amendments is January 21, 2010.

The Boardprojects the following timetable in completing this rulemaking:

Due date: January 21,2010 Date ofBoard vote to propose amendments: October I, 2009 Submission forIllinois Ref{isterpublication: October 13, 2009 ProbableIllinois Ref{isterpublication date: October 23, 2009 Public hearing date: November 19, 2009 Probable end of45-dav public commentperiod: December 8, 2009 Date ofBoard vote to adopt amendments: December 17, 2009 Probable filing and effective date: December 29, 2009 Probable Illinois Ref{isterpublication date: January 9,2010

DESCRIPTION OF USEPA ACTIONS AND BOARD AMENDMENTS

The amendments proposed today respond to a single set ofUSEPA amendments to the federal definition of"volatile organic compound" (VOC), which has the same meaning as YOM

as used in the Illinois regulations. The Board includes a correction to the existing definition of YOM at the request ofthe Agency. The following discussion describes the amendments.

The Addition ofa Newly Exempted Compound

On January 21, 2007 (at 74 Fed. Reg. 3437), USEPA added two compounds to the list of chemical species that are exempt from the federal definition ofVOC and, accordingly, are exempt from regulation for control ofozone precursors. Those compounds are propylene carbonate (PC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC).
Any person who desires a fuller description ofthe two newly-exempted compounds, or elaboration ofthe technical bases for their exemption, should refer to the FederalRegisternotice ofJanuary 21, 2009. The technical merits ofthe two new exemptions are beyond the scope of3

this proceeding. This proceeding is intended to fulfill the requirements ofsection 9.1 (e) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2008»), which mandates timely Board addition or deletion ofexempt compounds to correspond with those adopted by USEPA. The following briefdescription ofthe USEPA exemptions is intended to aid description ofthe Board action to also exemptthe compounds.

The official name given PC by the International Union ofPure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is 4-methyl-I,3-dioxolan-2-one. It is also known as cyclic propylene carbonate, carbonic acid propylene ester, cyclic 1,2-propylene carbonate, propylene glycol cyclic carbonate, 1,2-propanediol carbonate, and 4-methyl-2-oxo-1 ,3-dioxolane. Ithas been assigned the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number 108-32-7. In the Federal Registernotice discussion ofthe exemption ofPC from the definition ofVOC, USEPA observed as foJlows with regard to the properties and uses for PC:
Propylene carbonate

... is an odorless non-viscous clearliquid with a low vapor pressure (0.023 mm Hg at 20( C) and low evaporation rate compared to many other commonly used organic solvents. It has been used in cosmetics, as an adhesive component in food packaging, as a solvent for plasticizers and synthetic fibers and polymers, and as a solvent for aerial pesticide application. 74 Fed. Reg. at 3438.

DMC (IUPAC name) is also caJled methyl carbonate, and carbonic acid dimethyl ester. It has been assigned the CAS registry number 616-38-6. TheFederalRegisterdiscussion ofthe exemption observed as foJlows with regard to the properties and uses for DMC:
Dimethyl carbonate

... maybe used as a solvent in paints and coatings. The petitioner anticipated that it might be used in waterborne paints and adhesives because itis partially water soluble. It is also used as amethylation and carbonylation agent in organic synthesis. It can be used as a fuel additive. 74 Fed. Reg. at 3439.

The Board todayproposes incorporation ofthese federal exemptions into the listing of exempt compounds setforth in the Illinois definition ofVOM at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.7150. The Board does so with only minor, non-substantive deviation from the text of40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) (2008), as amended at 74 Fed. Reg. 3437 (Jan. 21, 2009). The table below provides the Board's proposed deviations from the federal text.

Afterthe hearing and public commentperiod, the Board will promptly issue an opinion and order adopting final rule amendments.

NO MISCELLANEOUS HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENTS

In addition to the proposed amendments related to USEPA's actions, the Board usually proposes a limited number of"housekeeping" amendments in a proposal forpublic comment. Those proposed changes are not based on the federal amendments discussed above. Rather, these are corrections and clarifications needed in the Board's existing rule text involved in this proposal. As ofthe date ofthis proposal for public comment, the Board is unaware ofany such5

corrections necessary in the text ofthe rules opened today. Should the corrections arise before adoption ofamendments based on today's proposal, the Board may include those corrections in the adopted version ofthe rules.



### HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF THE FEDERALRECOMMENDED POLICYONTHE CONTROL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS 

### AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN ILLINOIS
Beginning in 1977, USEPA's RecommendedPolicy on the Control ofVolatile Organic Compounds (Recommended Policy) exempt certain chemical compounds from the definition of VOC orYOM. I These compounds were exempt due to their negligible photochemical reactivity (i.e., theirreduced capacity for partaking in the complex atmospheric chemical reactions that result in the formation in tropospheric ozone). Ultimately, in 1991, USEPA codified its Recommended Policy in the Code of FederalRegulations at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) in its definition ofVOC.
Specifically, on July 8,1977, USEPA established its Recommended Policy in the Federal Registerat 42 Fed. Reg. 35314. At that time, USEPA stated that the following compounds should be exempt from regulation due to their negligible photochemical reactivity:

methane; ethane; methylene chloride (dichloromethane)2; 1,1 ,I-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform); and trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-I13 orFreon 113).

USEPA clarified its policy on June 4,1979, at 44 Fed. Reg. 32043, and May 16, 1980, at 45 Fed. Reg. 32424.

USEPA later amended its Recommended Policy by adding exempt compounds. On July 22,1980, at 45 Fed. Reg. 48941, USEPA added five chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one fluorocarbon (FC)3:

1 USEPA consistently uses the term "VOC" rather than "VOM," butboth designations refer to the same matter. All references in this opinion and orderto "VOM" refer to what USEPA calls**"VOC.'~**
2 USEPA's July 8, 1977 discussion mentioned methylene chloride and several other compounds, but none was included in eitherTable 1, which actually listed the recommended-exempt compounds, and methylene chloride did not appear in Table 2, which listed low-reactivity compounds. However, the June 4, 1979 and May 16, 1980 clarifications and later amendments make it clearthat USEPA considered methylene chloride exempt as ofthe initial publication of the Recommended Policy on July 8, 1977.

3 This action purported to add trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-I13), but that compound was originally listed on July 8,1977, although then given the parenthetical designation "Freon-l13."6

trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-ll); dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12); chlorodifluoromethane (CFC-22); trifluoromethane (FC-23); dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114); and chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-1l5}

On January 18, 1989, at 54 Fed. Reg. 1987, USEPA added four hydrohalocarbon compounds (HFCs and HCFCs) to the list ofthose exempt:

dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123); tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a); dichlorofluoroethane (HCFC-141b); and chlorodifluoroethane (HCFC-142b).
Finally, on March 18, 1991, at 52 Fed. Reg. 11418, USEPA revisited certain compounds earlier denied exemption and revised the Recommended Policy for the lasttime, to exclude five additional hydrohalocarbon compounds and four classes offluorocarbon compounds. The five hydrohalocarbon compounds were:
2-chloro-l, 1, 1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124); pentafluoroethane (HFC-125); 1,1 ,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134); 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a); and 1,l-difluoroethane (HFC-152a).

The four classes offluorocarbon compounds were:
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated alkanes; cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated ethers with no unsaturations; cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated tertiary amines with no unsaturations; and sulfur-containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations and with sulfurbonds only to carbon and fluorine.

On March 18, 1991, at 56 Fed. Reg. 11387, USEPA proposed codifying the Recommended Policy in its definition ofVOC at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s). This proposed action was undertaken in conjunction with the last amendments to the Recommended Policy discussed above. USEPA adopted the amended definition ofVOC on February 3, 1992, at 57 Fed. Reg. 3945. This USEPA codification included all the compounds and classes ofcompounds previously included as exempt in the Recommended Policy. It also included test methods for

That USEPA counted this single compound twice was further apparent in the action ofJanuary 18, 1989, discussed in the textbelow, when it referred to a list ofexempt compounds that included "eight additional chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)."7

detennining compliance with the VOC emissions limits, and aprovision addressing situations where the test method also measured exempt compounds.

USEPA subsequently amended the 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) definition ofVOM on anumber ofoccasions. Those are summarized as follows:

HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF EXCLUSIONS FROM THE ILLINOIS DEFINITION OF YOM

Public Act 80-1299, effective August 2,1978, added Section 9.1 to the Act. Subsection (e) ofSection 9.1 (formerly subsection (c)) requires the Board to incorporate exemptions into the Illinois definition ofVOM based on the federal exemptions. This provision required the Board to use the Section 7.2 identical-in-substance procedure (exempt from Section 27 ofthe Act (415 ILeS 5/27 (2002) and the notice provisions ofthe APA) to incorporate the federal exemptions into the Illinois definition ofVOM.

The Board initially adopted the exemptions as part ofSection 27 general rulemakings. In dockets R78-3 and R78-4 (consolidated), on August 23,1979, as part ofthe original Reasonably

4 USEPA excluded t-butyl acetate from the definition ofvoe forpurposes ofemissions control and voe contentrequirements. USEPA retained I-butyl acetate as a voe forpurposes of recordkeeping, emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling, and inventory requirements.

### 9

Available Control Technology (RACT) mles, the Board adopted a definition ofVOM that excluded methane and ethane, expressly declining to exemptmethylene chloride, 1,1,1- trichloroethane, and CFC-I13. In docket R80-5, on December 30,1982, as part ofthe RACT II mles, the Board added methylene chloride and I, I,I-trichloroethane to the list ofexempt compounds. Finally, in docket R86-37, on December 22, 1987, the Board added the other six CFC and one FC compounds that USEPA had excluded in its Recommended Policy up to that date.

After that time, the Board repeatedly used the identical-in-substance procedure to incorporate federal additions to the list ofexempt compounds. In docket R89-8, on October 18, 1989, the Board amended the definition ofVOM to exemptthe additional compounds excluded by USEPA on January 18, 1989. In docket R91-10, on September 12, 1991, the Board added the

one HCFC, four HFCs, and four classes ofcompounds exemptby USEPA on March 18, 1991. In docket R91-24, on July 30,1992, the Board further updated the Illinois definition ofVOM for purposes ofthe metropolitan Chicago and East St. Louis areas. 5

Beginning in 1992, with USEPA's codification ofthe compounds excluded from VOC, the Board had a way to readily determine the status ofthe list ofexempt compounds: by referring to the "List ofSections Affected" in the 

### Code of FederalRegulations. At that time, the Board started treating the updates to the definition ofVOM in the same manner that the Board treats all otheridentical-in-substance subjectmatters. The Board began routinely reserving dockets for each succeeding six-month period and specifically monitoring for federal revisions. Accordingly, the Board has opened several dockets assigned to this subjectmatter, and the Board has dismissed dockets when USEPA did not amend its definition in the relevant time-frame. Before USEPA's codification ofexcluded compounds, the Boardrelied on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the regnlated community to specifically draw the Board's attention to any amendments to USEPA's Recommended Policy. The Boardhas consistently worked to ensure that the lllinois definition ofVOM is the same as thatused by USEPA, and that any federal revisions are promptly reflected in the Illinois definition.

What follows is a summary listing ofall Board dockets related to exemptions from the definition ofVOM. This table indicates the docket number ofeach proceeding, the date and nature ofthe Board action on each docket, and the general subjectmatter ofeach. Those entries that appear in bold italic amended the definition ofVOM to exemptnew compounds.

"Volatile organic material" (also "VOM") or "volatile organic compound" (also "VOC") means any compound ofcarbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate, that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.

a) This definition ofVOM includes any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions, otherthan the compounds listed in this subsection (a). USEPA has determined that the compounds listed in this subsection (a) have negligible photochemical reactivity. USEPA has excluded thc listed negligibly-rcactive compounds from the definition ofVOM for purposes of YOM limitations or YOM contentrequirements. However, USEPA has required that certain ofthese compounds be considered YOM for purposes of recordkeeping, emissions reporting, and inventory requirements, as described in subsection (e) ofthis Section.

Code 218.112 and 219.112; or under40 CFR 52.21, incorporated by reference at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.112 and 219.112, as applicable. Where such amethod also

measures compounds with negligible photochemical reactivity, these negligiblyreactive compounds may be excluded as YOM ifthe amount ofsuch compounds is accurately quantified and the exclusion is approved by the Agency.

c) As aprecondition to excluding these negligibly-reactive compoiJnds as YOM, or at any time thereafter, the Agency may require an owner or operator to provide monitoring ortesting methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction ofthe Agency, the amount ofnegligibly-reactive compounds in the source's emissions.

d) The USEPA will not be bound by any State determination as to appropriate methods for testing or monitoring negligibly-reactive compounds ifsuch determination is not reflected in any ofthe test methods in subsection (b) above.

e) The following compound is YOM for the purposes ofall recordkeeping, emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory requirements that apply to YOM, and it must be uniquely identified in emission reports, butit is not YOM for the purposes ofYOM emissions limitations or YOM contentrequirements: t-butyl acetate.

HEARING OFFICER ORDER

Scope ofthe Hearing!

TheBoardreserved this docket pursuantto Sections 7.2 and 9.1 (e) ofthe Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 

### 517.2 and 9.I(e) (2008» for adoption ofrules identical-in-substance
to USEPA amendments to the federal definition of"volatileorganic compound" (VOC) (40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) (2008» that occurred during theperiod January I, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The Illinois definition of"volatile organic material" (YOM) is derived from and intendedto bethe same
as that federal definition. VOM is intendedbytheBoard to have the same operative meaning in Illinois as USEPA ascribes to VOC.

Compounds exempted from the defmition ofVOMhave negligible photochemical reactivity. As such, they participate onlyminimallyin formation oftropospheric ozone formation. Forthis reason, USEPA does not require thattheybe subjectto VOM limitations or VOM content requirements, and USEPA does not allow the State to claimVOM creditfor control oftheir

. emissions.

USEPA amended its definition ofVOC on January21, 2009 (at 74Fed. Reg. 3427) to add
two compounds to thelist ofthose exempted from the definition. Those compounds are propylene carbonate (PC) (IUPAC name 4-methyl-I,3-dioxolan-2-one; CAS no. 108-32-7) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (IUPAC name; CAS no. 616-38-6). USEPA stated as follows with regard to

uses for these compounds:

Propylene carbonate

... is an odorless non-viscous clearliquid with a low vapor pressure (0.023 mm Hg at 20( C) and low evaporation rate compared to many other commonly used organic solvents. 11 has been used in cosmetics, as an adhesive component in food packaging, as a solvent for plasticizers and synthetic fibers and polymers, and as a solvent for aerial pesticide application. 74 Fed. Reg. at 3438.

Dimethyl carbonate

... maybe used as a solventinpaints and coatings. The petitioner anticipated that it might be used inwaterborne paints and adhesives because itis partially water soluble. It is also used as a methylation and carbonylation agent in organic synthesis. It can be used as a fuel additive. 74 Fed. Reg. at 3439.

Sections 7.2 and 9. 1(e) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 

### 517.2 and 9.I(e) (2008» provide the Board little discretionbutto adopt amendments that areidentical-in-substance to afederal exemption from the definition ofVOM. Section 9.1(e) states inpertinentpart as follows:

1 The Board does not usually hold public hearings on identical-in-substance rules. This hearing is held pursuantto Section 9.1(e) ofthe Environmental ProtectionAct (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2008», as required by Section 110 ofthe federal Clean AirAct (42 U.S.C. 

### § 7410 (2006)), because this proceeding would entail a SIP revision.

### 3

TheBoard shall exempt from regulation underthe State ImplementationPlan for

ozonethe volatile organic compoundswhichhave been determinedbythe U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgencyto be exemptfrom regulation under state implementationplans forozone due to negligiblephotochemicalreactivity. In 

### accordance with Section 7.2, the Boardshall adoptregulations identicalin substance to theU.S. EnvironmentalProtectionAgency exemptions ordeletion ofexemptions

... inthe FederalRegisterbyamending the listofexemptions to theBoard's definitions ofvolatile organic material found at 35 TIl. Adm. Code 211. 415 ILCS 517.2 

### and 9.1(e) (2008).

Section7.2 adds the following limitations relative to the scope oftheBoard's discretion:

In 

### the contextofamandatethattheBoard adoptregulations to secure federal authorizationofaprogram, regulations that are "identical in substance" means State regulations whichrequire the sameactions withrespect to protection ofthe environment, bythe same group ofaffectedpersons, 

### as wouldfederal regulations if USEPA administeredthe subjectprograminillinois.

... [T]he Boardshall adopt theverbatimtextofsuchUSEPAregulations 

### as are necessary and appropriate for authorization ofthe program. In 

### adopting "identical in substance"regulations, the onlychanges thatmaybemade bytheBoardto the federal regulations are those changes that are necessary forcompliancewith the illinois Administrative Code, andtechnical changesthatin no waychangethe scope ormeaningofanyportion of theregulations. 415 !LCS 517.2 

### and 7.2 (2008).

Forthese reasons, theBoardlacks the discretion to address thetechnical merits of exemption ofanycompoundorclass ofcompounds from the definition. The Boardhas discretion onlyhow bestto incorporatetheexemptioninto the illinois definition ofVOM.

The scope ofthe hearing will be limitedto how theBoardcanbestincorporate the federal exemption ofpropylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate from the Illinois definition ofVOM.

5 

### 2009, through June 30th, 2009.

6 

### Included in this identical and

7 

### substance rulemaking is a federal adoption of

8 

### two new exemptions from the definition of the

9 

### OM. The USEPA adopted them on January 21st

10 

### of 2009, which would give these a due date of

11 

### January 21st, 2010. The two compounds that

12 

### are included in this are propylene carbonate, 

# ( 13 

### which has the IUPAC name

14 

### 4-methyl-1,3-Dioxolan-2-one, and the second

15 

### compound is dimethyl carbonate.

16 

### USEPA has determined that these

17 

### compounds participate negligibly in the

18 

### formation of tropospheric ozone, so that they

19 

### are no longer going to be counted for VOM

all things go as planned, it appears that
this would be on the Board's agenda for

December 17th adoption. Noting that there are no witnesses
here to testify and having given the Board

members and attending staff an opportunity to
add to the record, seeing nothing, I think

that we will adjourn. (End proceedings.)

The Illinois EPA has reviewed the Board's order dated October 1,2009, which contained

the proposed rule. Having reviewed the Board's October 1 opinion and order, the Agency has no

ofthe record, however, the illinois EPA would note that there is a typographical error on page
