NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY 

STANDARDS, USEPA REGULATIONS 

(July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013)

) 

Proposed Rule. Proposal for Public Comment. 

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

This rulemaking updates the ambient air quality standards in the Board's air pollution 

regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 243) to include revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) 1 adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 

pursuant to section 109 ofthe Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C. § 7409 (2011)) during the period 

July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. 

Today the Board adopts a proposal for public comment that would amend one segment of 

the Illinois ambient air quality standards to reflect revisions and USEP A actions that affect the 

federal NAAQS codified in 40 C.F.R. 50. As explained below, the Board intends the Illinois 

ambient air quality standards adopted in this proceeding to be identical-in-substance with their 

federal counterparts, as "identical-in-substance" is defined by Section 7.2(a) of the 

Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2(a) (2012)). 

Section lO(H) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/lO(H), as added by P.A. 97-945 (eff. Aug. 10, 

2012)), mandates this rulemaking by requiring the Board to "adopt ambient air quality standards 

specifYing the maximum permissible short-term and long-term concentrations of various 

contaminants in the atmosphere; those standards shall be identical in substance to the national 

ambient air quality standards promulgated by ... the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency in accordance with Section 109 of the Clean Air Act [(42 U.S.C. § 7409)]." 415 ILCS 

5/lO(H). 

The Board adopted the initial amendments in National Ambient Air Oualitv Standards, 

USEPA Regulations (through December 31, 2012), R13-ll (July 25, 2013), which were 

effective on July 29,2013. See 37 IlL Reg. 12882 (Aug, 9, 2013). The Board updated the 

amendments in National Ambient Air Ouality Standards. USEPA Regulations (January 1, 2013 

through June 30. 2012, July 3, 2013, and August 5, 2013), Rl4-6 (September 5, 2013). 

Section lO(H) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/lO(H) (2012)) and Section l-5(c)(l) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-1-S(c)(l) (2012)) also provide that Title VII 

of the Act and Section 5-35 of the APA (5 ILCS 100/5-35 (2012)) do not apply to this 

proceeding, Accordingly, the Board will not adopt a "First Notice" proposal, or a "Second 

Notice" proposal for review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). However, 

1 Throughout this opinion and in the regulatory text, the Board uses the abbreviation ''NAAQS" 

to refer to a single standard and ''NAAQS" to refer to multiple standards. 
as provided in Section !O(H) of the Act, and as explained in the two following segments ofthis 

opinion and order, the Board, before adopting fmal rule amendments, will provide notice of this 

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. § 741 O(a) (2011 )), and allow for public comment. 

The Board reserved this docket to accommodate amendments that are necessary to update 

the Illinois ambient air quality standards to reflect revisions and USEP A actions that affect the 

federal NAAQS during the period July I, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Board action is 

necessary to amend the Illinois ambient air quality standards to confmm with the NAAQS 

adopted and amended by USEP A. USEP A issued an updated version of its List of Designated 

Reference and Equivalent Methods on December 17, 2013. 

The Board prefaces this opinion with procedural matters. First, the Board provides 

infmmation on the public comment period. Second, the Board describes facts relative to a 

scheduled public hearing for this proceeding. Third, the Board sets forth the timetable for 

completing this rulemaking. The substantive discussions follow the procedural matters. 

PUBLIC COMMENTS 

The Board invites public comment on the proposed amendments. The Board will receive 

public comments until at least 45 days after a notice of these proposed amendments appears in 

the Illinois Register. Anyone may file a public comment with the Board at:

After the hearing and public comment period, the Board will promptly issue an opinion 

and order adopting final rule amendments. The Board will then file the amendments with the 

Office of the Secretary of State, and a Notice of Adopted Amendments will appear in the Illinois 

Register. Any Agency submission of the associated SIP revision to USEPA will follow that 

Notice. 

DUE DATE AND SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION 

The Board must complete action to adopt amendments within one year of the date when 

USEPA has revised the NAAQS. 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b). Since USEPA updated its List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods on November 12, 2013, which prompted this 

proceeding, the Board must complete corr-esponding amendments before November 12, 2014. 

The Board can fulfill the one-year mandate in advance of the November 12,2014 due date 

according to the following schedule: 

Due date: 

Proposal adopted date: 

Publication submission deadline: 

Illinois Register publication date:

This estimated timetable of intermediate activities towards completion of the 

amendments has tinre added to allow for any minor unforeseen delays in finalizing the 

amendments in advance of the statutory due date. It is possible that progress toward completion 

could occur more slowly-up to the statutory deadline of November 12, 2014--due to presently 

unforeseen events. 

OVERVIEW OF THE FEDERAL NAAOS AND THIS PROCEEDING 

The amendments proposed today are intended to make the Illinois ambient air quality 
standards identical-in-substance to the NAAQS adopted by US EPA. Today's proposal includes 

one ancillary USEPA action, that occmTed during the period July I, 2013 through December 31, 

2013: USEPA issued an update to its List of Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods on 

December 17, 2013. The Board does not need to include two other federal actions that occurred 

on July 3, 2013 and August 5, 2013 because the Board included those in a p1ior NAAQS update, 

as is described below. Fm1her, Board action on a November 12,2013 USEPA approval of five 

new equivalent methods for pm1iculate matter and nitrogen oxides is not necessary because the 

December 17,2013 update to the List of Designated Methods subsumes the November 12, 2013 

approval. 2 

Docket R14-17: Julv 1, 2013 through December 31,2013 Amendments 

USEPA did not amend the federal NAAQS once during the period July I, 2013 through 

December 31, 2013. Instead, USEP A undertook four ancillary actions during the period. The 

actions, described below, all related to approval of new analytical methods for demonstrating 

compliance. 

Board action is required on only one of the US EPA actions, as is summarized below: 

Julv 3, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 40000): New FRM for Lead in Total Suspended 

Particulate Matter 

Description of the USEPA action: USEPA amended appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 

to establish a new FRM for measuring lead in total suspended particulate matter 

for the purposes of the lead NAAQS. 

Prospective necessary Bom·d action in response: The Board updated the 

incorporation by reference to appendix Gin Section 243.108 by adding a Federal 

Register citation in the prior NAAQS update, National Ambient Air Qualitv 

Standards. USEPA Regulations (Janumy I. 2013 through June 30. 2012. July 3. 

2013. and August 5. 2013), R14-6 (September 5, 2013). No fm1her Board action 

1s necessmy. 

August 5, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 47191): Area Designations for Two Areas in Illinois 

Under the 2010 Primarv Annual Average and 24-Hour NAAQS for Sulfur Oxides 

Description of the USEP A action: USEP A made area designations for the 2010 

NAAQS for sulfur dioxide. 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: The Board modified the Board 

note appended to 35 lll. Adm. Code 243.122(a)(5), in response to this action in 

the prior NAAQS update, National Ambient Air Quality Standards. USEPA 

Regulations (January I. 2013 through June 30.2012. July 3. 2013. and August 5. 

2013), Rl4-6 (September 5, 2013). No further Board action is necessmy. 

2 Nevertheless, the November 12,2013 remains the earliest USEPA action included in this 

docket, so that date is used for computation of the statutory due date. 
November 12, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 67360): Designation of Five New Equivalent 

Methods for Particulate Matter and Nitrogen Oxides 

Desctiption of the USEPA action: USEPA designated five new equivalent 

methods: one for particulate matter (PM10), one for coarse particulate matter 

(PM10.25), two for fme particulate matter (PM2.5), and one for nitrogen oxides 

(NOx). 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: This action would nmmally 

require the Board to update the incorporation by reference to the List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods that is incorporated by reference 

in Section 243.108 to include this Federal Register notice. USEPA's release of 

an updated version of the List of Designated Methods on December 17, 2013 

obviates any actions specific to these approvals because these approvals are 

included in the updated version. 

December 17, 2013: Updated Version of List o(Designated Reference and Equivalent 

Methods 

Description of the USEP A action: USEP A issued an updated version of its List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods. 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: The Board must modify the 

version of the List of Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods that is 

incorporated by reference in Section 243.108 

Later USEPA NAAQS-Related Actions oflnterest 

The Board engages in ongoing monitoring of federal actions. As of the date of this 

opinion and accompanying order, the Board has identified no USEP A action since December 31, 

2013 that further affected the NAAQS in a way that would require Board attention. 

Summarv Listing of the Federal Action 

Upon Which Action is Required in This Docket 

Based on the foregoing, the federal action that forms the basis for Board action in this 

update docket is the following: 

Federal Action Date (citation) Description of the Action 

December 17,2013 Update to the List of Designated 

Methods 
The Context of This Identical-in-Substance Proceeding 

The Board does not engage in substantive review of federal standards in the context of an 

identical-in-substance proceeding. Rather, the Board reviews federal standards only to the extent 

necessary to make a "best fit" for those standards in the context of the illinois regulatory scheme. 

The Board tries to follow the structure and content of federal regulations where possible. 

This ensures the full incorporation of all necessary elements of the present federal standards, and 

it makes updating the regulations easier when future federal amendments occur. 

Depmtures from the federal stmcture may occur for a variety of reasons and will be noted 

as needed below. Where more stringent pre-existing State standards exist that will continue in 

effect after incorporation of federal elements, the Board will incorporate a stmcture that retains 

those State standards. See, e.g., RCRA SubtitleD Amendments (Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. 

Code 810. 811. and 814), R93-10 (Sept. 15, 1993), slip op. at 3-5 (adding required federal 

elements into existing State regulations); Safe D1inking Water Act Regulations, R88-26 (Aug. 9, 

1990), slip op. at 6-7 (retaining more stringent pre-existing State regulations within the body of 

new federal requirements). 

DISCUSSION 

The following discussion begins with substantive discussion of the single USEPA action 

that requires Board action in this docket. The discussion concludes with a description of the 

types of deviations that the Board makes from the literal text of federal regulations in adopting 

identical-in-substance mles. 

Discussion of the Particular Federal Action Involved in This Docket 

Updated Edition of List of Designated Methods-Section 243.108 

On December 17, 2013, USEPA released a new version of the List of Designated 

Methods. The List is not codified, and the Board did not see that US EPA published a notice for 

the update in the Federal Register. Rather, USEPA's usual practice is simply to post a link to 

the updated version on the Intemet (at www.epa.gov/ttnlamtic!criteria.html). Thus, the Board 

found the update in a routine on-line check for an update. 

The December 17, 2013 update to the List of Designated Methods included a number of 

methods that were modified since the last version dated June 27, 2013. These were the methods 

modifications that appeared in the Federal Register on July 3, 2014 and November 12, 2013, as 

desc1ibed above. The modified methods were the following, arranged by criteria pollutant: 

Lead in total suspended particulate matter: 

Manual Reference Method RFLA-0813-813 (inductively coupled plasma-mass 

spectroscopy (ICP-MS)), codified as appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 at 78 Fed. Reg. 

40000 (July 3, 2013): "Reference Method for the Determination of Lead in 

Suspended Particulate Matter Collected from Ambient Air." In the p1ior update 

docket, N a tiona! Ambient Air Quality Standards. USEP A Regulations (January I. 
2013 through June 30. 2012. July 3. 2013. and August 5. 2013), Rl4-6 

(September 5, 2013), the Board updated the incorporation by reference to 

appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 to include tills new reference method. The Board 

now updates the incorporation by reference to List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods to include the method. 

Manual Equivalent Method EQLA-0813-803 (flame atomic absorption 

spectroscopy (F AAS)): "Environment S.A. Model AS 32M cavity attenuated 

phase shlft spectroscopy Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer." Approved at 78 Fed. Reg. 

40000 (July 3, 2013). 

Coarse Particulate Matter (PMto.2.5l.;. 

Automated Equivalent Method EQPM-1013-207: "Thenno Scientific TEOM® 

1405-DF Dichotomous Ambient Pmticulate Monitor with FDMS®." Approved at 

78 Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 

Total Particulate Matter (PM10l.;. 

Automated Equivalent Method EQPM-1 013-208: "Thenno Scientific TEOM® 

1405-DF Dichotomous Ambient Particulate Monitor with FDMS®." Approved at 

78 Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 

Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.sl.:. 

Automated Equivalent Method EQPM-1 013-209: "Met One BAM-1 022 Real 

Time Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor-Outdoor PM2.5FEM Configuration." 

Approved at 78 Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 

Automated Equivalent Method EQPM-1013-211 (Environment S.A. Model 

MP101M PM2.5 Monitor): "Environment S.A. Model MPlOlM PM2.5 Beta 

Attenuation Monitor." Approved at 78 Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 

Nitrogen oxides: 

Automated Equivalent Method EQNA-1 013-210 (Environment S.A. Model 

AS 32M Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer): "Environment S.A. Model AS32M cavity 

attenuated phase shlft spectroscopy Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer." Approved at 78 

Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 

The List of Designated Methods is essential to implementation of the various NAAQS. 

The List specifies the analytical methods that are permissible for the monitoring required to 

demonstrate compliance with ambient air quality standards. Thus, the modifications are 

important to any entity or State using the particular methods. 

Any person interested in the substance of the December 17, 2013 update to the List of 

Designated Methods should refer to that document. Any person interested in the July 3, 2013, 

August 5, 2013 or November 17, 2013 methods approvals should refer to the appropriate Federal 
Register notice. Alternatively, interested persons could contact USEP A as directed at 

www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/criteria.html. 

The June 27,2013 version of the List of Designated Methods is incorporated by reference 

in Section 243.108. The incorporation by reference includes a citation to the July 3, 2013 

Federal Register notice that added the equivalent method for lead in total suspended particulate 

matter. Also incorporated by reference is the federal reference method for lead in total 

suspended particulate matter in appendix G to 40 C.P.R. 50, with a citation to the Federal 

Register notice for the amendment of July 3, 2013. 

The Board has updated that incorporation by reference to the List of Designated Methods 

to the December 17, 2013 version of the List. This includes deleting the reference to the July 3, 

2013 designation of the federal equivalent method for lead in total suspended particulate matter. 

The revisions are itemized and sununarily outlined in Table 1, which appears below in the 

opinion segment of this opinion and order. No action is necessary with regard to the 

incorporation by reference to the federal reference method in appendix G to 40 C.P.R. 50. The 

updated version of the List of Designated Methods included the new federal reference method, 

but did not affect the Code of Federal Regulations and Federal Register citations for the method. 

Request (or Public Comments: The Board requests comments on the update to the 

incorporation by reference to the December 17, 2013 version of the List of Designated Methods. 

Deviations from the Literal Text of the Federal Amendments 

and Non-Federallv Derived Corrections and Clarifications 

The Board routinely examines federal amendments and the base text of rules open for 

amendments to find any areas that need conection or clarification. JCAR and the Office of the 

Secretary of State also routinely examine the text and suggest conections and clarifications. 

Sometimes suggestions arise from the Agency, USEPA, or members of the regulated 

community. The Board often makes revisions as a result. The revisions thus made are not 

directly derived from federal amendments. The Board is ever mindful of the limited discretion 

authorized in the context of an identical-in-substance proceeding. The Board is limited to "those 

changes that are necessary for compliance with the Illinois Administrative Code," "technical 

changes that in no way change the scope or meaning of any portion of the regulations," and 

"apparent typographical and granrmatical enors." See 415 ILCS 5/7.2(a) and (a)(7) (2012). 

Thus, the Board will only make minor, non-substantive corTections and clarifications in this 

context. These conections are non-substantive in effect. 

A Table follows that documents the amendments made in this proceeding that did not 

derive directly from US EPA amendments to the federal NAAQS. Since the updates to federal 

reference methods and federal equivalent methods are not amendments to the federal NAAQS 

themselves, the Board lists the update to the List of Designated Methods and the ancillary 

changes in the table.

HEARING OFFICER ORDER 

Scope of the Hearing1 

The Board reserved this docket pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 1 O(H) of the Environmental 

Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 517.2 and 10(H) (2012)) to update the Illinois ambient air quality 

regulations to include all current federal NAAQSs adopted and amended by the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) during the period July 1, 2013 through December 

31,2013. 

Section 10(H) mandates that the Board adopt ambient air quality standards that are identicalin-substance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) adopted by USEPA pursuant 

to 42 U.S. C. § 7409 (2011). NAAQSs apply to ambient air, and each constitutes a determination of 

the maximum level of a criteria pollutant that is allowable consistent with human health (a primary 

standard) and public welfare (a secondary standard). 42 U.S.C. § 7409(b) (2011 ). As ofJune 30, 

2013, the federal regulations included 20 NAAQS for six criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide, 

lead nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur oxides. See generally 40 C.F.R. 50 

(2013). USEPA has codified those NAAQS in 40 C.F.R. 50. 

This proceeding updates the Illinois ambient air quality standards to accommodate 

amendments and other relevant USEP A actions with regard to NAAQS that occurred during the 

period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. During this period, USEP A took the following 

actions: 

November 12, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 67360): USEPA designation of five equivalent 

methods for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide. 

December 17, 2013: USEP A released an update version of the List of Designated 

Reference and Equivalent Methods that incorporated all federal equivalent methods and 

federal reference methods approvals that occurred since the June 27, 2013 version of the 

List. 

Sections 7.2 and lO(H) of the Act (415 ILCS 517.2 and lO(H) (2012)) provide the Board 

little discretion but to adopt amendments that are identical-in-substance to the federal NAAQS. 

Section 10(H) states in pertinent part as follows: 

In accordance with subsection (b) of Section 7 .2, the Board shall adopt ambient 

air quality standards specifying the maximum permissible short-term and longterm concentrations of various contaminants in the atmosphere; those standards 

shall be identical in substance to the national ambient air quality standards 

promulgated by the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency in accordance with Section 109 ofthe Clean Air Act. 415 ILCS 5/JO(H) 

(2012). 

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

is held as required by Section 110 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7410 (2011)), 

because this proceeding would entail a SIP revision. 
3 

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

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

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

regulations which require the same actions with respect to protection of the 

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

USEP A administered the subject program in Illinois . . .. [T]he Board shall adopt 

the verbatim text of such USEP A regulations as are necessary and appropriate for 

authorization of the 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 of any portion of the 

regulations. 415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2012). 

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

federal NAAQSs involved in this proceeding. The Board has discretion only how best to 

incorporate the NAAQSs into the Illinois ambient air quality regulations. 

Notice and Service Lists 

Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.422, a notice and service list v.<ill be established. 

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

Ill. Adm. Code 102.422(a). In comparison, Section 102.422(b) states in part: 

The hearing officer may establish a service list for any regulatory proceeding, in 

addition to the notice list. The hearing officer may direct participants to serve 

copies of all documents upon the persons listed on the service list. 35 Ill. Adm. 

Code 102.422(b). 

Persons on the service list will receive notice of Board actions and Hearing Officer 

orders, as well as testimony and filings in the proceeding. The service list is reserved for persons 

who will be testifYing and participating in the rulemaking. With the development of the Board's 

website (www.ipcb.state.il.us), COOL system and electronic filing, all prefiled testimony, public 

comments, and other filings will be available for viewing and downloading expeditiously. The 

only exception will be voluminous filings, which will be available on request. Furthermore, with 

the development of COOL, persons not on the sen<ice list, who wish to file a public comment 

and only a public comment, need not serve their comments on the service list in this proceeding.

update the Illinois ambient air quality requirements to correspond with amendments to 

the federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQSs) that the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) adopted during the period July 1, 2013 

through December 31, 2013. The Federal NAAQS are codified at 40 C.P.R. 50. During 

this period, USEP A amended its NAAQSs as follows: 

November 12, 2013 

(78 Fed. Reg. 67360) 

December 17, 2013 

USEPA designated five new equivalent methods: 

one for particulate matter (PM10), one for coarse 

particulate matter (PMJO.z.s), two for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.s), and one for nitrogen oxides (NOx). 

USEP A issued an updated version of its List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods. 

A table appears in the Board's opinion and order of March 20,2014 in docket R14-17

MR. MCCAMBRIDGE: Let's get started. 

It's now 1:31. This is the hearing in ths 

Identical-in-Substance Rulemaking R14-7, in the matter 

of National Ambient Air Quality Standards Update, USEPA 

regulations, July 1st, 2013 through December 31st, 2013. 

MR. MATOESIAN: I'm sorry. Did you mean 

R14-17? 

~~- MCCAMBRIDGE: R14-17. Isn't that what 

I said? 

MR. MATOESIAN: You said seven. 

MR. MCCAMBRIDGE: Okay, it's R14-17. Thank 

you. 

The Board adopted a proposal for public 

comment on March 20th in this. The proposal for public 

comment appeared in the April 11th issue of the Illinois 

Register. We're holding a public hearing in this to 

satisfy the federal requirement that the state conduct 

a public hearing on a matter that would result in a 

state implementation or SIP revision. 

My name is Mike McCambridge. Attending 

Board member with me is Jennifer Burke. That's all the 

people we have here in Chicago. 

Could the people in Springfield identify 

themselves, for the record?

MR. MATOESIAN: Yes. My name is 

Charles Matoesian, I'm an attorney appearing for the 

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. With me today 

I have Jackie Sims who is a regulatory emit manager in 

the Bureau of Air, and Yoginger Mahajan who is an 

environmental protection engineer in the Bureau of Air. 

MS. NEWMAN: Connie Newman for the Pollution 

Control Board. 

MR. MCCAMBRIDGE: The only filing I've 

received from the agency is your appearance in this. 

MR. MATOESIAN: That's correct. 

MR. MCCAMBRIDGE: That's correct. The 

subject of this, a couple of USEPA updates to federal 

reference methods and equivalent methods that occurred 

on July 3rd, 2013 and August 5th, 2013, and November 12, 

2013, by publication in the Federal Register. USEPA 

rolled those method updates into the list of designated 

reference and equivalent methods that it made available 

on December 17th, 2013. So, essentially, this 

proceeding is just updating the incorporation by 

reference of the list of designated methods to the 

December 17, 2013 version. That's all I have to say 

about it. Does the agency have anything? 

MR. MATOESIAN: We have no comment, sir.

IN THE MATTER OF: 

NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY 

STANDARDS, USEPA REGULATIONS 

(July I, 2013 through December 31, 2013) 

Adopted Rule. Final Order. 

) 

) Rl4-17 

) (Identical-in-Substance Rulemaking -Air) 

) 

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

This mlemaking updates the ambient air quality standards in the Board's air pollution 

regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 243) to include revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) I adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) 

pursuant to section 109 ofthe Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C. § 7409 (2011)) dming the period 

July I, 2013 through December 31,2013. 

Today the Board adopts an amendment to one segment of the Illinois ambient air quality 

standards to reflect revisions and USEPA actions that affect the federal NAAQS codified in 40 

C.F.R. 50. As explained below, the Board intends the Illinois ambient air quality standards 

adopted in this proceeding to be identical-in-substance with their federal counterparts, as 

"identical-in-substance" is defined by Section 7.2(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) 

(415 ILCS 5/7.2(a) (2012)). 

Section IO(H) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/IO(H), as added by P.A. 97-945 (eff. Aug. 10, 

2012)), mandates this mlemaking by requiring the Board to "adopt ambient air quality standards 

specifying the maximum pe1missible short-term and long-tenn concentrations of various 

contaminants in the atmosphere; those standards shall be identical in substance to the national 

ambient air quality standards promulgated by ... the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency in accordance with Section 109 of the Clean Air Act [(42 U.S.C. § 7409)]." 415 ILCS 

5/IO(H). 

The Board adopted the initial amendments in National Ambient Air Oualitv Standards. 

USEPA Regulations (through December 31. 2012), Rl3-ll (July 25, 2013), which were 

effective on July 29, 2013. See 37 Ill. Reg. 12882 (Aug. 9, 2013). The Board updated the 

amendments in National Ambient Air Oualitv Standards. USEPA Regulations !January I. 2013 

through June 30.2012. July 3. 2013. and August 5. 2013), R14-6 (September 5, 2013). The 

present amendments are the second update to the initial amendments. 

Section IO(H) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/10(H) (2012)) and Section l-5(c)(l) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (AP A) (5 ILCS I 00/5-1-5( c)(1) (2012)) also provide that Title VII 

of the Act and Section 5-35 of the APA (5 ILCS 100/5-35 (2012)) do not apply to this 

proceeding. Accordingly, the Board did not adopt a "First Notice" proposal, or a "Second 

I Throughout this opinion and in the regulatory text, the Board uses the abbreviation "NAAQS" 

to refer to a single standard and "NAAQS" to refer to multiple standards. 
2 

Notice" proposal for review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). However, 

as provided in Section 1 O(H) of the Act, and as explained in the two following segments of this 

opinion and order, the Board, before adopting finalmle amendments, provided notice of this 

rulemaking proposal in the Illinois Register, held one public hearing on the proposal as required 

by the federal Clean Air Act (33 U.S.C. § 7410(a) (2011)), and allowed for public conunent. 

The Board reserved this docket to acconunodate amendments that are necessary to update 

the Illinois ambient air quality standards to reflect revisions and USEP A actions that affect the 

federal NAAQS during the pe1iod July 1, 2013 through December 31,2013. Board action is 

necessary to amend the Illinois ambient air quality standards to conf01m with the NAAQS 

adopted and amended by USEPA. US EPA issued an updated version of its List of Designated 

Reference and Equivalent Methods on December 17, 2013. 

PUBLIC COMMENTS 

The Board adopted a proposal for public comment in this matter on March 20,2014. A 

Notice of Proposed Amendment appeared in the April!!, 2014 issue of the Illinois Register, at 

38 Ill. Reg. 7774. The Board received public comments on the proposal for 45 days after the 

date of publication, until May 26,2014. During the public comment period, the Board received 

no public conunents. The Board did receive a copy of the amendments as published in the 

Illinois Register, which included a suggested correction made by JCAR during preparation for 

publication. The Board has accepted the JCAR correction and con·ected the text of the adopted 

amendment accordingly. The conection is listed in Table 2 appended below. 

FEDERALLY REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING 

The Board expects that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) will 

submit the present amendments as a revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 

various contaminants pursuant to section 110 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7410(a)) 

(2011) and the implementing USEPA regulations. See 40 C.P.R. 51.102 and appendix V (2013). 

The Board conducted a public hearing for the purpose of allowing interested members of 

the public to conunent on the proposed amendments and the anticipated SIP revision that will 

result from their adoption. The Board simultaneously conducted the hearing at two locations via 

video conference so that persons at both locations could freely participate in the proceedings. 35 

Ill. Adm. Code 102.412(c) (provision for videoconference hearing in identical-in-substance 

mlemaking). The hearing occUlTed on May 7, 2014 between the Board's offices in Chicago and 

Springfield. 

The record in this docket includes all documents pertaining to this proceeding. All 

documents in the record are publicly available for inspection and copying as provided in 2 Ill. 

Adm. Code 2175 (2012). The documents are also freely available online at the Board's 

webpage: www.ipcb.state.il.us. 

The record has not included a copy of the following documents, which are all otherwise 

publicly available: 
3 

• Any Federal Register notices relating to this action (referenced elsewhere in this opinion 

and order); 

• Federal statutes and regulations referenced in this opinion and order; and 

• Illinois statutes and regulations referenced in this opinion and order. 

OVERVIEW OF THE FEDERAL NAAQS AND THIS PROCEEDING 

The amendments adopted today are intended to make the Illinois ambient air quality 

standards identical-in-substance to the NAAQS adopted by USEP A. Today's adopted 

amendments include one ancillary USEP A action that occurred during the period July I, 2013 

through December 31, 2013: USEPA issued an update to its List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods on December 17,2013. The Board did not need to include two other federal 

actions that occurred on July 3, 2013 and August 5, 2013 because the Board included those in a 

prior NAAQS update, as is described below. Further, Board action on a November 12, 2013 

USEP A approval of five new equivalent methods for patticulate matter and nitrogen oxides was 

not necessary because the December 17, 2013 update to the List of Designated Methods 

subsumes the November 12, 2013 approval. 2 

Docket R14-17: Julv 1, 2013 through December 31,2013 Amendments 

USEPA did not amend the federal NAAQS once during the period July 1, 2013 tln·ough 

December 31, 2013. Instead, USEP A undettook four ancillary actions during the petiod. The 

actions, described below, all related to approval of new analytical methods for demonstrating 

compliance. 

Board action is required on only one of the USEPA actions, as is summarized below: 

Julv 3, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 40000): New FRM for Lead in Total Suspended 

Particulate Matter 

Description of the USEPA action: USEPA amended appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 

to establish a new FRM for measming lead in total suspended pruticulate matter 

for the purposes of the lead NAAQS. 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: The Board updated the 

incorporation by reference to appendix G in Section 243.108 by adding a Federal 

Register citation in the prior NAAQS update, National Ambient Air Qualitv 

Standards, USEPA Regulations (January I. 2013 through June 30. 2013. July 3. 

2013. and August 5, 2013), Rl4-6 (September 5, 2013). No further Board action 

ts necessary. 

2 N evettheless, theN ovember 12, 2013 remains the earliest USEP A action included in this 

docket, so that date is used for computation of the statutmy due date. 
4 

August 5, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 47191): Area Designations for Two Areas in Illinois 

Under the 2010 Primarv Annual Average and 24-Hour NAAQS for Sulfur Oxides 

Desc1iption of the USEPA action: USEPA made area designations for the 2010 

NAAQS for sulfur dioxide. 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: The Board modified the Board 

note appended to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 243.122(a)(5), in response to this action in 

the prior NAAQS update, National Ambient Air Quality Standards. USEPA 

Regulations (January 1. 2013 through June 30. 2013. July 3. 2013. and August 5. 

2013), R14-6 (September 5, 2013). No further Board action is necessary. 

November 12, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 67360): Designation of Five New Equivalent 

Methods for Particulate Matter and Nitrogen Oxides 

Description of the USEPA action: USEPA designated five new equivalent 

methods: one for particulate matter (PM10), one for coarse particulate matter 

(PMJO.z.s), two for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and one for nitrogen oxides 

(NOx). 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: This action would nmmally 

require the Board to update the incorporation by reference to the List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods that is incorporated by reference 

in Section 243.108 to include this Federal Register notice. USEPA's release of 

an updated version of the List of Designated Methods on December 17, 2013 

obviates any actions specific to these approvals because these approvals are 

included in the updated version. 

December 17,2013: Updated Version of List of Designated Reference and Equivalent 

Methods 

Description of the USEP A action: US EPA issued an updated version of its List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods. 

Prospective necessary Board action in response: The Board must modifY the 

version of the List of Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods that is 

incorporated by reference in Section 243.108 

Summarv Listing of the Federal Action 

Upon Which Action is Required in This Docket 

Based on the foregoing, the federal action that fmms the basis for Board action in this 

update docket is the following:

The Context of This Identical-in-Substance Proceeding 

The Board does not engage in substantive review of federal standards in the context of an 

identical-in-substance proceeding. Rather, the Board reviews federal standards only to the extent 

necessary to make a "best fit" for those standards in the context of the Illinois regulatory scheme. 

The Board llies to follow the structure and content of federal regulations where possible. 

This ensures the full incorporation of all necessary elements of the present federal standards, and 

it makes updating the regulations easier when future federal amendments occur. 

Depmiures from the federal stmcture may occur for a vmiety of reasons and will be noted 

as needed below. Where more stringent pre-existing State standards exist that will continue in 

effect after incmporation of federal elements, the Board will incmporate a sl!ucture that retains 

those State standards. See, e.g., RCRA SubtitleD Amendments (Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. 

Code 810. 81 Land 814), R93-10 (Sept. 15, 1993), slip op. at 3-5 (adding required federal 

elements into existing State regulations); Safe D1inking Water Act Regulations, R88-26 (Aug. 9, 

1990), slip op. at 6-7 (retaining more stringent pre-existing State regulations within the body of 

new federal requirements). 

DISCUSSION 

The following discussion begins with substantive discussion of the single USEPA action 

that requires Bom·d action in this docket. The discussion concludes with a desc1iption of the 

types of deviations that the Board makes from the literal text of federal regulations in adopting 

identical-in-substance mles. 

Discussion of the Particular Federal Action Involved in This Docket 

Updated Edition of List of Designated Methods-Section 243.108 

On December 17, 2013, USEPA released a new version of the List of Designated 

Methods. The List is not codified, and the Board did not see that USEPA published a notice for 

the update in the Federal Register. Rather, USEPA's usual practice is simply to post a link to 

the updated version on the Intemet (at www.epa.gov/ttn/amticlcriteria.htm[). Thus, the Board 

found the update in a routine on-line check for an update. 

The December 17, 2013 update to the List of Designated Methods included a number of 

methods that were modified since the last version dated June 27, 2013. These were the methods 

modifications that appeared in the Federal Register on July 3, 2014 and November 12, 2013, as 

described above. The modified methods were the following, an-anged by criteria pollutant: 
6 

Lead in total suspended particulate matter: 

Manual Reference Method RFLA-0813-813 (inductively coupled plasma-mass 

spectroscopy (ICP-MS)), codified as appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 at 78 Fed. Reg. 

40000 (July 3, 2013): "Reference Method for the Dete1mination of Lead in 

Suspended Particulate Matter Collected from Ambient Air." In the prior update 

docket, National Ambient Air Qualitv Standards. USEP A Regulations (January I. 

2013 through June 30. 2012. July 3. 2013. and August 5. 2013), Rl4-6 

(September 5, 2013), the Board updated the incorporation by reference to 

appendix G to 40 C.F.R. 50 to include this new reference method. The Board 

now updates the incorporation by reference to List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods to include the method. 

Manual Equivalent Method EQLA-08 13-803 (flame atomic absorption 

spectroscopy (FAAS)): "Environment S.A. Model AS32M cavity attenuated 

phase shift spectroscopy Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer." Approved at 78 Fed. Reg. 

40000 (July 3, 2013).

AS32M Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer): "Environment S.A. Model AS32M cavity 

attenuated phase shift spectroscopy Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer." Approved at 78 

Fed. Reg. 67360 (Nov. 12, 2013). 
7 

The List of Designated Methods is essential to implementation of the various NAAQS. 

The List specifies the analytical methods that are pennissible for the monitoring required to 

demonstrate compliance with ambient air quality standards. Thus, the modifications are 

irnpmtant to any entity or State using the patticular methods. 

Any person interested in the substance of the December 17, 2013 update to the List of 

Designated Methods should refer to that document. Any person interested in the July 3, 2013, 

August 5, 2013 or November 17, 2013 methods approvals should refer to the appropriate Federal 

Register notice. Alternatively, interested persons could contact USEP A as directed at 

www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/cJiteria.html. 

The June 27, 2013 version of the List of Designated Methods is incorporated by reference 

in Section 243.108. The incorporation by reference includes a citation to the July 3, 2013 

Federal Register notice that added the equivalent method for lead in total suspended particulate 

matter. Also incorporated by reference is the federal reference method for lead in total 

suspended particulate matter in appendix G to 40 C.P.R. 50, with a citation to the Federal 

Register notice for the amendment of July 3, 2013. 

The Board has updated that incorporation by reference to the List of Designated Methods 

to the December 17, 2013 version of the List. This includes deleting the reference to the July 3, 

2013 designation of the federal equivalent method for lead in total suspended pmticulate matter. 

The revisions are itemized and sununarily outlined in Table 1, which appears below in the 

opinion segment of this opinion and order. No action is necessary with regard to the 

incorporation by reference to the federal reference method in appendix G to 40 C.P.R. 50. The 

updated version of the List of Designated Methods included the new federal reference method, 

but did not affect the Code of Federal Regulations and Federal Register citations for the method. 

Request (or Public Comments: The Board requested comments on the update to the 

incorporation by reference to the December 17, 2013 version of the List of Designated Methods. 

The Board received no comments in response. 

Deviations from the Literal Text of the Federal Amendments 

and Non-Federallv Derived Corrections and Clarifications 

The Board routinely examines federal amendments and the base text of rules open for 

amendments to find any areas that need correction or clarification. JCAR and the Office of the 

Secretary of State also routinely examine the text and suggest cmTections and clarifications. 

Sometimes suggestions arise from the Agency, USEPA, or members of the regulated 

community. The Board often makes revisions as a result. The revisions thus made are not 

directly derived from federal amendments. The Board is ever mindful of the limited discretion 

authorized in the context of an identical-in-substance proceeding. The Board is limited to "those 

changes that are necessary for compliance with the Illinois Administrative Code," "techoical 

changes that in no way change the scope or meaning of any portion of the regulations," and 

"apparent typographical and grammatical errors." See 415 ILCS 5/7.2(a) and (a)(7) (2012). 

Thus, the Board will only make minor, non-substantive corrections and clarifications in this 

context. These coJTections are non-substantive in effect.

The tables below list corrections and amendments that are not based on current federal 

amendments. Table I includes the single deviation made in this proposal for public comment 

from the verbatim text of the federal amendments. Table 2 is a listing of the single revision 

made to the text of the amendments from that proposed and set forth in the Board's opinion and 

order of March 20,2014. Table 2 indicates the change made, as well as the source that 

suggested the change.

the Illioois ambient air quality requirements to correspond with amendments to the 

federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQSs) that the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted during the period July 1, 2013 

through December 31,2013. The Federal NAAQS are codified at40 C.P.R. 50. During 

this period, USEPA amended its NAAQSs as follows: 

July 3, 2013 

(78 Fed. Reg. 40000) 

August 5, 2013 

(78 Fed. Reg. 47191) 

USEPA amended appendix G to 40 C.P.R. 50 to 

establish a new FRM for measuring lead in total 

suspended particulate matter for the purposes of the 

leadNAAQS. 

USEPA made area designations for the 2010 

NAAQS for sulfur dioxide.

November 12, 2013 

(78 Fed. Reg. 67360) 

December 17, 2013 

USEP A designated five new equivalent methods: 

one for particulate matter (PMw), one for coarse 

particulate matter (PMw.2.s), two for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.s), and one for nitrogen oxides (NOx). 

USEPA issued an updated version of its List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent Methods. 

For the reasons explained in the Board's opinion and order of June 5, 2014, no Board 

action was required on the federal amendments of July 3, 2013, August 5, 2013, and 

November 12, 2013. The only federal action that required attention was the December 

17, 2013 update. 

Tables appear in the Board's opinion and order of June 5, 2014 in docket Rl4-17 that list 

the difference between the literal text of federal amendments and the Board's amendment 

and the single amendment that is not based on current federal amendments, which is also 

a revision to the text since the Board's March 20, 2014 proposal for public comment. 

The tables contain deviations from the literal text of the federal amendments underlying 

this amendment, as well as corrections and clarifications that the Board made in the base 

text involved. Persons interested in the details of those corrections and clarifications 

should refer to the June 5, 2014 opinion and order in docket Rl4-17. 

Section lO(H) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/lO(H)] provides that 

Section 5-35 of the Administrative Procedure Act [5 ILCS 1 00/5-35] does not apply to 

this rulemaking. Because this rulemaking is not subject to Section 5-35 of the APA, it is 

not subject to First Notice or to Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on 

Administrative Rules (JCAR).
