EMISSIONS FROM STATIONARY
SOURCES:
 RACT
 III
PROPOSED RULE
 SECOND NOTICE
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
 (by
 B.
 Forcade):
This matter
 conies before the Board on
 a series of proposed
amendments
 to 35
 Ill.
 Adrn.
 Code Par
 215, Organic Material
Emission Standards
 and Limitations,
 for the control of
 the
pollutant ozone.
 All
 of
 the proposed amendments address
 some
aspect of the existing
 regulations controlling volatile organic
material
 (“VOM’T) emissions
 from coating operations.
 Amendments
to 35
 Ill.
 Adm,.
 Code 211.122, 215.204, 215.205
 and 215.207 will
be considered
 in the instant opinion
 and order.
 Merit hearings
on
 the proposed amendments
 were held on December
 2—3,
 1985;
 March
20—21,
 1986; August
 4, 1986~August
 7,
 1987;
 September
 3—4,
 1986;
October
 30,
 1986;
 and November
 7,
 1986.
 Hearings
 regarding the
Economic Impact Statement
 (EcIS)
 for Sections 215.204 and 215.207
were held on May
 8 and 21,
 1987.
 Final merit evidence was also
accepted at these hearings.
 The record closed on June
 30,
 1987.
On July 16,
 1987,
 the Board proposed regulatory amendments
to Section 211.122,
 215.204, 215.205 and 215.207 for
 first notice
comment which were published
 at
 11
 Ill.
 Reg.
 12811
 and 12835,
August
 7,
 1987.
 The statutory 45—day comment period ended on
September
 21,
 1987.
 The Board posed additional questions
 for the
participants
 to comment
 on through
 a hearing officer order,
 dated
August
 27,
 1987.
 Four substantive
 comments were received
regarding
 the proposed amendments.
 Additionally, non—substantive
comments were received from the Secretary of State’s Adminis-
trative Code Unit
 regarding form and format of the proposed
rules.
 Those changes have been made
 at second notice.
In a letter filed
 September
 22,
 1987,
 the Minnesota Mining
 &
Manufacturing Company
 (3M)
 requested that the hearing officer
extend the first notice comment period for the proposed
 amendments until October 10,
 1987.
 The Agency filed
 a motion to
deny 3M’s request on September
 29,
 1987.
 The hearing officer
referred this matter
 to the Board
 as
 it would impact the timing
of
 the Board’s decision
 in this matter.
 The Board denies 3M’s
request.
 First,
 the request
 is untimely,
 as
 the statutory 45—day
comment period ended
 on September
 21,
 1987.
 Second,
 to allow 3M
an additional opportunity to comment on not only the proposed
amendments, but the Agency’s timely filed comments
 as well,
 would
82—165
not be evenhanded
 or
 fair.
 Finally,
 the additional two to three
weeks delay that granting 3M~s request would cause
 is
unacceptable
 to the Board.
 The Board
 is attempting
 to proceed
with regulations controlling ozone precursors
 as quickly
 as
fairness and the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act
and
 the Administrative Procedures Act permit.
 The federal
deadline
 for achievement of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standard
 for Ozone
 is December
 31,
 1987,
 The Board
 and the
Agency have expended considerable efforts
 to promulgate
 final
rules
 by
 that date.
 Further delay in this proceeding could very
well
 defeat that goal.
 The
 Board wishes
 to clarify that
 the
instant Opinion and Order does not address
 the site—specific
amendment proposed by
 3M
 for
 its Bedford Park
 facility.
 Today’s
action addresses
 the proposed amendments
 to the rules
 of general
applicability.
 The 3M site—specific
 is presently awaiting merit
decision.
The first commenter
 raises two issues
 regarding certain
language in the Opinion of July
 16,
 1987
 (P.C.
 115).
 First,
 the
commenter asserts
 that the United States Environmental Protection
Agency’s
 (USEPA) position regarding defects
 in existing Section
215.207
 is not
 as clear
 as the Board’s opinion may
 lead one
 to
believe.
 The commenter suggests
 that
 the existing rule was
approved
 in
 1980
 by USEPA without condition.
 However, even the
commenter
 concedes
 that subsequent action by USEPA,
 in the form
of testimony
 in Board proceedings
 and formal comment on the
State’s RACT
 II
 package, does make USEPA’s position clear.
 The
Board concedes
 that the issue has been debated
 in the context of
this proceeding as well
 as
 in variances and permit appeals.
While the
 issue may not have been crystal
 clear
 in the early
1980’s,
 it certainly
 is clear
 today.
 The record
 in the
proceeding supports both
 the wisdom and necessity of modifying
Section 215.207.
The commenter’s second issue
 is whether
 or not compliance
plans based
 on Section 215.207
 need
 to be submitted to USEPA as
State
 Implementation Plan
 (SIP)
 revisions under tJSEPA’s “bubble
policy”
 (P.C.
 115).
 The Board,
 itself, was concerned with these
issues and requested additional
 comments
 in the August 27,
 1987,
Hearing Officer
 Order.
 It
 is apparent from the record before the
Board
 that USEPA’s position has fluctuated wildly on
 this
issue.
 The commenter accurately notes
 that rJSEPA’s policy “has
not been
 as clear
 as
 the opinion might be
 read
 to suggest.”
However, while this issue
 is obviously very important to
facilities presently utilizing Section 215.207
 to achieve
compliance with RACT coating limitations,
 it
 is tangential
 to the
issues presently before the Board
 in this proceeding.
 The Board
is in the process
 of amending
 its regulations.
 The issue
 of how
the rule will
 be
 implemented by other agencies
 of government may
or may not come before this Board.
 If and when such issues are
presented to the Board
 for adjudication,
 the wisdom and legality
of the rules’
 implementation
 can
 be appropriately addressed.
82—166

The second commenter notes
 two typographical errors
 in the
proposed amendments to Section 211,122,
 the definition
 of “Power
Driven Fastener Coatings”
 (P.C.
 116).
 First,
 in line
 3 of
 the
definition
 “0.254
 inch”
 should read “0.0254
 inch.”
 Second,
 in
line
 14 of the definition “Counsel”
 should be “Council.”
 These
corrections have been made at second notice.
The third commenter responded
 to the questions posed
 in the
August 27, 1987,
 Hearing Officer Order regarding the interpreta-
tion of
 the internal offset rule, Section 215.207,
 and the
applicability of
 the USEPA federal bubble policy.
 The commenter
utilizes existing Section 215,207
 to achieve
 compliance with the
RACT coating
 limitations.
 The proposed amendment
 to Section
215.207 will not impact the commenter’s compliance status.
However,
 the commenter
 is the subject
 of
 a USEPA enforcement
action.
 The commenter’s Section
 215.207 compliance plan was
never submitted as
 a SIP revision
 to USEPA.
 As previously noted,
USEPA’s position on the necessity of
 submittal
 of such permits
 as
SIP revisions has been confusing and inconsistent.
 The commenter
urges that the Board
 not take any action
 to revoke or qualify the
protections available under Section 215.207
 on which many
companies have
 relied.
 The Board,
 by amending Section 215,207,
does change
 the content of the rule.
 However,
 the principles,
requirements and conditions embodied
 in the December
 6,
 1986,
federal “bubble policy” are not expressly incorporated
 in the
language of the amended
 rule.
 It may be argued that consistency
with
 the federal
 “bubble policy” may be necessary to comply with
federal law or policy.
 The Board,
 however, makes
 no such holding
today.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
 (Agency) filed
comments responding
 to questions posed both
 in the July 16,
 1987,
first notice opinion and
 in the August 27,
 1987, Hearing Officer
Order
 (P.C.
 119),
 The Agency also supplemented
 the record with
various newspaper articles and documents regarding ozone
attainment and
 the SIP process.
The Agency responds
 to the Board’s request
 for justification
of
 the proposed language
 in Section 215.207(a)
 that reads:
“methods or procedures used
 to determine emission
 of VOM under
this Section shall
 be approved by the Agency.”
 First,
 the Agency
responds that
 this language was copied from Section 215.205
 for
consistency and also because
 it has already been found acceptable
by the Board
 for Section 215,205.
 Second,
 this language does not
authorize the Agency
 to change existing test methods already
adopted by the Board.
 Third, this
 language enables the Agency
 to
review elements of compliance procedures not otherwise addressed
by Board
 rules, and
 to formalize procedures
 to be followed or
formalize Agency acceptance of procedures submitted by
 a company,
in permit conditions.
 These procedures address items that the
Agency must examine
 in the permitting process
 in order
 to
 determine
 the adequacy of the application and the compliance
82—167
—4—
status of
 the company, such
 as selected
 coating lines,
calculation procedures,
 frequency of sampling,
 verification of
control equipment efficiency, extent of material usage
 records,
nature
 of documentation on coating VOM content, and availability
of records.
 The nature of these procedures can vary greatly
depending upon the particular circumstances of
 a company,
 e.g.,
the margin of compliance,
 the equipment present, and the nature
of existing production records.
 Fourth,
 in the absence of prior
review by the Agency
 in the permitting process,
 a company could
believe
 that
 it was satisfying
 the requirements of Section
215.207.
 However,
 the Agency could consider
 the company not
 to
be
 in compliance
 for failure
 to adequately address
 the
requirements
 of Section 215.102, Section 215.207(a),
 Section
215.207(c),
 or Section 215,208.
 The Agency’s proposed language
protects
 a company by drawing attention
 to the fact that the
methods
 and procedures must be presented
 to and approved by the
Agency.
 The Agency reminds the Board
 that Agency determinations
made
 in the permitting process are subject
 to appeal and review
by the Board
 in
 a permit denial
 appeal.
The Board finds
 the Agency’s justification persuasive.
 The
implementation of Section 215,207
 as
 a compliance option varies
with each and every facility.
 Section 215,207
 is intended to
provide
 a flexible alternative
 to line—by—line compliance with
the emission limitations
 of Section 215,204, with certain
restrictions.
 Inherent
 in its approach
 is
 a requirement of
flexibility
 in Agency review and implementation.
 It
 is not
possible to write a coherent rule that envisions all
contingencies and potential applications.
 Therefore,
 in the
limited context of these
 rules,
 we believe
 that the “shall be
approved by the Agency” language
 is appropriate and necessary.
Concerning
 the Board’s request
 for clarification regarding
the use of the language “selected coating
 lines”
 in proposed
Section 215.207(a),
 the Agency responds that the selection of
 the
coating lines
 is made by the permit applicant.
 The intended
basis of
 the selection
 is for the company
 to demonstrate
compliance with
 a minimum number
 of coating
 lines.
 The Board
appreciates this clarification.
In the July
 16,
 1987, Opinion,
 the Board suggested certain
modifications
 in Section 215.207
 to the definitions of R~, EALL,
EACTand S~. The Agency concurs with these suggested changes as
they are consistent with the Agency’s intent and help clarify the
rule.
 These changes are made at second notice.
In response to questions posed in the August
 27,
 1987,
Hearing Officer Order,
 the Agency states that
 56 permits based
 on
Section 215.207 have been issued.
 Of these,
 46 are in ozone non—
attainment areas
 and 10 are in attainment areas, including
 four
in McHenry or Will County.
 The Agency has not submitted any of
82—168
—5—
the permits based
 on existing Section 215.207
 to the USEPA
 as
formal amendments
 or revisions
 to the Illinois SIP for ozone.
The Agency contends that the proposed amendments to Section
215,207 are “pending” before USEPA.
Commenting generally about
 the language of Attachment
 3 and
the federal Emissions Trading Policy,
 the Agency reminds
 the
Board
 that Section 215.207 was conditionally approved by USEPA
 in
1980.
 As
 an approved rule that
 is part of
 Illinois’
 SIP, any
company can avail themselves
 of the regulation.
 The Agency’s
proposed Section 215.207 was sent
 to USEPA for parallel
processing
 as
 a SIP revision on September
 5,
 1985.
 If the
Agency’s proposed Section
 215.207
 is adopted
 by the Board, USEPA
should approve
 it since
 it corrects
 the flaw
 in the regulation
(volumetric calculations) which has been identified by USEPA.
Companies should continue
 to be able
 to avail themselves of
 this
regulation in the future.
The Agency concedes that the amendments
 to Section 215.207
presently pending do not conform to the federal
 “bubble policy”
of December
 6,
 1987.
 However,
 the Agency does not suggest that
Section 215,207
 be further modified at this
 time.
 The Agency
contends that the amendments presently pending will correct
 a
long—standing deficiency and will
 be responsive to USEPA’s
present concerns.
 The Agency suggests
 that Section 215.207 may,
at some future time,
 need
 to be further modified
 to be consistent
with federal policy.
 The Agency believes that the amendments
 to
Section 215,207 pending before the Board will be approved by
USEPA.
 If and when the Agency receives
 a SIP deficiency notice
from USEPA regarding consistency with the federal “bubble
policy”,
 it will
 consider further amendment.
The Board believes
 that the Agency’s suggested course
 of
action
 is
 a prudent one under
 the circumstances.
 The Board notes
that the federal “bubble policy”
 is relatively new and its
incorporation or implementation
 in presently pending amendments
to Section 215.207
 is not presently at
 issue
 in this
proceeding.
 The proposed amendments will help fulfill the
state’s obligations
 under
 the Clean Air Act and avoid federal
sanctions.
 The Board will,
 therefore, direct the Clerk
 of the
Board to submit the proposed amendments
 to Sections 211.122,
215,204, 215.205 and 215.207 for second notice review by the
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.
ORDER
The following amendments

standards.
 For
 the purposes
 of
 this definition,
 the
terms “brad”
 and “finish nail”
 refer
 to single leg
fasteners fabricated
 in the same manner
 as staples.
 The
application of coatings
 to staple, brad, and finish nail
fasteners may be associated with the incremental forming
of such fasteners
 in
 a cyclic or
 repetitious manner
(incremental fabrication)
 or with the forming
 of strips
of
 such fasteners
 as
 a unit from a band of wires
 (unit
fabrication).
