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 of chemical compounds from regulation as ozone

precursors.

Today the Board adopts a proposal for public comment that would add two compounds to

the list of those 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 of chemicals exempted from the definition ofVOM codified at 40

C.F.R. 51.1 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 of VOM 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 of Section 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) of the 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. § 74 IO(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 amended
2

40 C.F.R. 51.1 OO(s) once during that time, on January 21, 2009. Board action to amendment

Illinois definition of YOM 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 comment period 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 of YOM 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 Board projects the following timetable in completing this rulemaking:

Due date: January 21,2010

Date ofBoard vote to propose amendments: October I, 2009

Submission for Illinois Ref{ister publication: October 13, 2009

Probable Illinois Ref{ister publication date: October 23, 2009

Public hearing date: November 19, 2009

Probable end of 45-dav public comment period: December 8, 2009

Date ofBoard vote to adopt amendments: December 17, 2009

Probable filing and effective date: December 29, 2009

Probable Illinois Ref{ister publication 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 of a 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 of ozone 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 Federal Register notice

ofJanuary 21, 2009. The technical merits ofthe two new exemptions are beyond the scope of
3

this proceeding. This proceeding is intended to fulfill the requirements of section 9.1 (e) ofthe

Act (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2008»), which mandates timely Board addition or deletion of exempt

compounds to correspond with those adopted by USEPA. The following brief description ofthe

USEPA exemptions is intended to aid description ofthe Board action to also exempt the

compounds.

The official name given PC by the International Union of Pure 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. It has been assigned the

Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number 108-32-7. In the Federal Register notice

discussion ofthe exemption of PC from the definition ofVOC, USEPA observed as foJlows with

regard to the properties and uses for PC:

Propylene carbonate ... is an odorless non-viscous clear liquid 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. The Federal Register discussion ofthe

exemption observed as foJlows with regard to the properties and uses for DMC:

Dimethyl carbonate ... may be used as a solvent in paints and coatings. The

petitioner anticipated that it might be used in waterborne paints and adhesives

because it is 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.

The Board today proposes incorporation ofthese federal exemptions into the listing of

exempt compounds set forth 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 of 40 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.

Illinois Pollution Control Board Hearing Room 11-512

100 W. Randolph Street

Chicago

After the hearing and public comment period, 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 for public 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 of any such
5

corrections necessary in the text of the rules opened today. Should the corrections arise before

adoption of amendments based on today's proposal, the Board may include those corrections in

the adopted version ofthe rules.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF THE FEDERAL RECOMMENDED

POLICY ON THE CONTROL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN ILLINOIS

Beginning in 1977, USEPA's Recommended Policy on the Control ofVolatile Organic

Compounds (Recommended Policy) exempt certain chemical compounds from the definition of

VOC or YOM. I These compounds were exempt due to their negligible photochemical reactivity

(i.e., their reduced 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 ofFederal Regulations 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

Register at 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 or Freon 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," but both designations refer to

the same matter. All references in this opinion and order to "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 either Table 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 clear that 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 last time, 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 sulfur bonds 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 of VOC 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 text below, when it referred to a list of exempt compounds that

included "eight additional chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)."
7

detennining compliance with the VOC emissions limits, and a provision addressing situations

where the test method also measured exempt compounds.

USEPA subsequently amended the 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) definition ofVOM on a number

of occasions. 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) of Section 9.1 (formerly subsection (c)) requires the Board to incorporate exemptions into the

Illinois definition of VOM 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 of Section 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 of voe for purposes of emissions control

and voe content requirements. USEPA retained I-butyl acetate as a voe for purposes 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 exempt methylene chloride, 1,1,1-

trichloroethane, and CFC-I13. In docket R80-5, on December 30,1982, as part of the RACT II

mles, the Board added methylene chloride and I, I, I-trichloroethane to the list of exempt

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 of exempt compounds. In docket R89-8, on October 18,

1989, the Board amended the definition ofVOM to exempt the 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 of compounds exempt by 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 of the list ofexempt compounds: by

referring to the "List of Sections Affected" in the Code ofFederal Regulations. At that time, the

Board started treating the updates to the definition ofVOM in the same manner that the Board

treats all other identical-in-substance subject matters. 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 subject matter, and the Board

has dismissed dockets when USEPA did not amend its definition in the relevant time-frame.

Before USEPA's codification of excluded compounds, the Board relied 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 Board has consistently

worked to ensure that the lllinois definition ofVOM is the same as that used by USEPA, and that

any federal revisions are promptly reflected in the Illinois definition.

What follows is a summary listing of all Board dockets related to exemptions from the

definition ofVOM. This table indicates the docket number of each proceeding, the date and

nature ofthe Board action on each docket, and the general subject matter of each. Those entries

that appear in bold italic amended the definition ofVOM to exempt new compounds.

Section 211.7150 Volatile Organic Material (VOM) or Volatile Organic Comnound (VOC)

"Volatile organic material" (also "VOM") or "volatile organic compound" (also "VOC") means

any compound of carbon, 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, other than 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 content requirements. 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.

b) . For purposes of determining YOM emissions and compliance with emissions

limits, YOM will be measured by the test methods in the approved

implementation plan or 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference at 35

Ill. Adm. Code 215.105, 218.1 J2, and 219.112, as applicable, or by sourcespecific test methods that have been established pursuant to a permit issued under

a program approved or promulgated under Title Y ofthe Clean Air Act; under 40

CFR 51, Subpart I or Appendix S, incorporated by reference at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

218.112 and 219.112; or under 40 CFR 52.21, incorporated by reference at 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 218.112 and 219.112, as applicable. Where such a method 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 a precondition to excluding these negligibly-reactive compoiJnds as YOM, or

at any time thereafter, the Agency may require an owner or operator to provide

monitoring or testing methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the

Agency, the amount of negligibly-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 of all recordkeeping,

emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory

requirements that apply to YOM, and it must be uniquely identified in emission

reports, but it is not YOM for the purposes ofYOM emissions limitations or

YOM content requirements: t-butyl acetate.

HEARING OFFICER ORDER

Scope of the Hearing!

The Board reserved this docket pursuant to 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 "volatile organic compound" (VOC) (40 C.F.R.

51.100(s) (2008» that occurred during the period January I, 2009 through June 30, 2009. The

Illinois definition of"volatile organic material" (YOM) is derived from and intended to be the same

as that federal definition. VOM is intended by the Board to have the same operative meaning in

Illinois as USEPA ascribes to VOC.

Compounds exempted from the defmition ofVOM have negligible photochemical

reactivity. As such, they participate only minimally in formation oftropospheric ozone formation.

For this reason, USEPA does not require that they be subject to VOM limitations or VOM content

requirements, and USEPA does not allow the State to claim VOM credit for control oftheir .

emissions.

USEPA amended its definition ofVOC on January 21, 2009 (at 74 Fed. Reg. 3427) to add

two compounds to the list 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 clear liquid 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 ... may be used as a solvent in paints and coatings. The

petitioner anticipated that it might be used in waterborne paints and adhesives

because it is 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 discretion but to adopt amendments that are identical-in-substance to a federal exemption from

the definition ofVOM. Section 9.1(e) states in pertinent part as follows:

1 The Board does not usually hold public hearings on identical-in-substance rules. This hearing

is held pursuant to Section 9.1(e) ofthe Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e)

(2008», as required by Section 110 ofthe federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7410 (2006)),

because this proceeding would entail a SIP revision.
3

The Board shall exempt from regulation under the State Implementation Plan for

ozone the volatile organic compounds which have been determined by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency to be exempt from regulation under state

implementation plans for ozone due to negligible photochemical reactivity. In

accordance with Section 7.2, the Board shall adopt regulations identical in substance

to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency exemptions or deletion ofexemptions

... in the Federal Register by amending the list of exemptions to the Board's

definitions ofvolatile organic material found at 35 TIl. Adm. Code 211. 415 ILCS

517.2 and 9.1(e) (2008).

Section 7.2 adds the following limitations relative to the scope ofthe Board's discretion:

In the context of a mandate that the Board adopt regulations to secure federal

authorization ofa program, regulations that are "identical in substance" means State

regulations which require the same actions with respect to protection ofthe

environment, by the same group ofaffected persons, as would federal regulations if

USEPA administered the subject program in illinois. ... [T]he Board shall adopt

the verbatim text ofsuch USEPA regulations as are necessary and appropriate for

authorization ofthe program. In adopting "identical in substance" regulations, the

only changes that may be made by the Board to the federal regulations are those

changes that are necessary for compliance with the illinois Administrative Code,

and technical changes that in no way change the scope or meaning ofany portion of

the regulations. 415 !LCS 517.2 and 7.2 (2008).

For these reasons, the Board lacks the discretion to address the technical merits of

exemption ofany compound or class ofcompounds from the definition. The Board has discretion

only how best to incorporate the exemption into the illinois definition ofVOM.

The scope ofthe hearing will be limited to how the Board can best incorporate the federal

exemption ofpropylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate from the Illinois definition ofVOM.

Notice and Service List

Pursuant to 35 TIL Adm. Code 102.422, a notice and service list will be established.

Persons on the notice list will receive notice of all Board actions and Hearing Officer orders. 35

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 of all recordkeeping,

emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling and inventory

requirements that apply to YOM, and it must be uniquely identified in emission

Page 3

MR. McCAMBRIDGE: On the record. It's

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

20 emissions purposes.

21 The secondary thing that this

22 accomplishes is by exclusion of these two

23 solvents and re-agents from the definition of

way so that they can be used in place of

other chemicals that may have more

deleterious effects environmentally.

My name is Mike McCambridge. I'm

the hearing officer. With me is the entire

board. We have Board member Johnson, Board

member Blankenship, Chairman Girard, Board

member Zaleuski, and Board member Moore.

This lS probably the most heavily attended

identical and substance hearing we've ever

had.

MR. JOHNSON: In history.

MR. McCAMBRIDGE: In history. At this

point I would like to ask Dr. Girard if he

has anything or if any other Board member has

anything to say?

MR. GIRARD: Well, thank you. I would

just like to welcome representatives of the

Illinois EPA at this hearing.

MR. JOHNSON: Singular.

MR. GIRARD: Singular, and thank

everyone else for attending and turn it back

to Mike.

MS. ZALEUSKI: And Charles. Carry it to

9 unusual aspect of this hearing. In order to

10 conserve State resources Mr. Matoesian is

11 monitoring this hearing from Springfield

12 remotely. That saves the State the cost of

( 13 his time and the cost of transporting him

14 here for this. If Mr. Matoesian has anything

15 to add to the record, he will do so by

16 written comment after this hearing.

17 Now, the Board got the proposal in

18 this on October 1st, 2009. A notice of

19 proposed amendments appeared in the

20 October 16th issue of the Illinois Register.

21 The public comment period is 45 days, which

22 would expire, I believe, on November 30th.

23 In the October 1st order we had

that the public comment period would end

around November 8th. I don't see moving

or December 8th. Excuse me. I don't see

moving on this any more rapidly based on the

early publication, so that at this point, if

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

concerns or objections as to. the format and the content ofthe proposed rule. Just for the clarity

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