ADOPTED RULE.
FINAL ORDER.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J. Anderson):
The Board hereby amends the definition of
“volatile organic material”
(“VOM”)
in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 211.122.
On July
19,
1989,
the Illinois
Environmental Regulatory Group
(IERG) filed
a Motion for Expedited Review,
which the Board granted
in its Proposed Order of July 27,
1989.
The Board
initiated this rulemaking pursuant to
the “identical
in
substance” amendment
(H.B.
1688)
to Section 9.1 of the Environmental
Protection Act
(Act)
prior to action
by the Governor.
This amendment, P.A.
86-0366, was signed by the Governor into
law on August 30, 1989.
Section
9.1(e)
of the Environmental Protection Act,
Ill.
Rev. Stat.,
ch.
111 1/2, par.
1009.1(e),
as
added
by P.A. 86—0366, provides
in significant part as follows:
The
Board
shall
exempt
from regulation
...
the volatile
organic compounds which
have been determined
by
the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
to
be exempt from regula-
tion
...
for ozone
due to negligible
photochemical reac-
tivity.
In
accordance
with
subsection
(b)
of
Section
7.2,
the
Board
shall
adopt
regulations
identical
in
substance
to
the
U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
exemptions
or deletion
of exemptions published in policy
statements
on the control
of violative organic compounds
in
the
Federal
Register
by amending
the
list
of exemp-
tions
to
the
Board’s
definition
of
volatile
organic
material found
at
35
Ill. Adm. Code Part 211.
The provi-
sions and requirements of Title VII
of this Act shall
not
aoply
to regulations adopted under this subsection.
The Board proposed the present rule by its July 27,
1989 Proposed
Order.
Public notice
of
the proposed amendment appeared on August
18,
1989
at
13
Ill.
Reg.
13143.
The Board conducted
a public hearing required
by Section
110(a)
of the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
7410(a),
and 40 CFR 51.102 on
September 26,
1989.
Discussion
On January
18,
1989,
at
54 Fed. Reg.
1987-1989,
USEPA published
a policy
statement indicating that three hydrochlorofluorocarbons and a hydrofluoro-
carbon
(“Halocarbons”) should be
added to the list of negligibly reactive
volatile organic compounds which may be exempt
from ozone SIP controls:
104-
5~l5
—2—
Chlorodifluoroethane
(HCFC—142b)
Dichlorofluoroethane (HCFC-141b)
Dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123)
Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a)
USEPA’s action
is
pursuant to the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete
the Ozone Layer.
The four halocarbons are thought not
to contribute
significantly to tropospheric ozone buildup, and to also have a negligible
stratospheric ozone depletion potential.
As such,
they are good substitutes
for chemicals which
do contribute
to stratospheric ozone depletion, without
adversely affecting efforts
to control ground-level ozone concentrations.
IERG indicated early
in this proceeding that several
of
its members were
prepared
to begin using these halocarbons as substitutes
for those chemicals
which do harm the stratospheric ozone
layer.
However, they were not able to
make this substitution until the Board adopted
a final
and effective rule
exempting the
listed halocarbons from the definition of VOM.
As
noted above,
the Board granted expedited consideration of this proceeding and proposed
the
change immediately.
This was in anticipation of the Governor’s signature on
the authorizing legislation.
Now adopted, this amended definition
is intended
to bring the Board’s
list of
exemptions
into full accord
with the present
federal
listing and
into compliance with P.A. 86-0366.
The Board specifically
solicited comment
as
to whether the list
is
in fact complete and received
no
responses to that query.
Therefore the Board construes this silence as
affirmation that the Illinois and federal
lists of exempted compounds are in
full accord.
The Board notes, however, that although the authorizing statute has been
signed by the Governor,
it has
an effective date of January
1,
1990.
The
Board believes that
in adopting the rule today
it
is acting within the intent
of
the General Assembly, and complying with Illinois administrative proce-
dures,
in fulfilling the P.A. 86-0366 mandate after
it
has become
law but
before its effective date.
The Board will also proceed
to immediately file these rules with
the
Secretary of State
to become effective January
1,
1990.
In
“identical
in
substance” rulemaking proceedings, the Board’s
usual practice has been to
delay filing
for up to
30 days, particularly to give the USEPA an opportunity
to comment on the adopted rule before
it
is filed.
In light of the comments
submitted,
the Board sees no reason for a similar delay
in the filing of this
proceeding.
Public Comments
and Public Hearing Record
By
its July 27,
1989 Proposed Order, the Board
proposed the mandated
revisions
and invited public comments.
The Board received three public
comments.
The first public comment
in this matter
(P.C.
#1), received August
17,
1989, was from USEPA.
In response to
a Board query,
it
informed the Board
of
the need for
a public hearing
under federal
law.
The Second
(P.C.
#2) was
from the Office of the Secretary of State and received September 1~1, 1989.
It
indicates a small
number of
necessary Illinois Administrative Code format
corrections.
The third
(P.C.
#3) was from the
Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency
(Agency)
and received September 29,
1989.
The Agency
agrees
that the Board
should exempt
the four compounds from the definition of
1r~/~.
ry-~4
—3—
volatile organic material.
At the public
hearing, the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group
(IERG)
and the
Illinois Department of
Energy and Natural Resources (Department)
testified.
IERG expressed
its support far adoption of amendments that would
exempt these four compounds.
IERG stated,
“certain industries within IERG
will be able to begin using some of these new compounds, which will decrease
the potential for harm to the upper atmosphere and not increase the potential
for harm to the
lower atmosphere.”
Tr.
4-5.
The Department directed the
Board’s attention to a study of chlorofluorocarbon use that
it
is presently
undertaking.
Although that study will
not directly affect the present
proceeding,
the Department alerted the Board and requested input.
Tr.
6-7.
The Board specifically
invited comment on the chemical nomenclature used
in the definition of “Volatile Organic Material”
in Section 211.122.
The
Board employed the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
names for most of the previously-exempted
chemicals.
The exception is
methylene chloride, whose
IUPAC name
is dichloromethane.
The Board did not
preserve
the common names and industrial
designations included
by the USEPA
in
its revisions of the Recommended
Policy on the Control
of Volatile Organic
Compounds.
See 54 Fed.
Reg. 1987
(Jan.
18,
1989);
45 Fed.
Reg. 48941 (July
22,
1980);
44 Fed.
Reg. 32042
(June
4,
1979); 42 Fed. Reg. 35314 (July
8,
1989).
For the four new fluorinated hydrocarbons included
in the present
rulemaking, the Board
included the industrial
designations
in parentheses
after the
IUPAC chemical
names.
Although the
IUPAC nomenclature
is the technically accepted designation
for chemical substances, and despite the fact that it
is often
a more precise
designation,
some members
of the regulated community more readily recognize
the common names and industrial
designations.
The Board
believes that use of
IUPAC names for the chemical compounds, with the addition of common names or
industrial designations in parentheses,
is the preferred naming scheme.
By
its public comment, the Agency has stated that this position
“is agreeable to
the Agency.”
See P.C.
#3.
Changes to the Text of the Proposed Rule
For the reasons outlined above, the Board revises the previously-exempted
chemical
names
to use the TUPAC
name as the primary designation for each
chemical
and
includes
a frequently
used common
name or industrial
name
in
parentheses,
as has been done for the new compounds added
in the present
rulemaking.
The names
of
the excluded chemicals will appear
as follows
in the
Section 211.122 definition
of volatile organic material:
Chlorodifluoroethane (HCFC—142b)
Chlorodifluoromethane (CFC—22)
Chloropentafluoroethane
(CFC—115)
Dichlorodifluoromethane
(CFC-12)
Dichlorofluoroethane
(HCFC-141b)
Dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC—114)
Dichlorotrifluoroethane
(HCFC-123)
Ethane
Methane
Dichloromethane
(Methylene chloride
104
507
—4—
Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a)
-1~3T4~-1,1,1-TrichloroethaneMeth
1 chloroform
Trichlorofluoromethane
CFC—11
Trichlorotrifluoroethane
CFC—113
Trifluoromethane (FC—23)
The Board also adopts the format revisions suggested by the Office of the
Secretary of State.
Included among these suggested revisions
is the addition
of “Section 9.4 of
the” to the definition of Acid Gasses.
Supplemental Discussion
It has been the Board’s custom to review sections being amended for
“cleanup” corrections.
There are a large number of minor editorial problems
with the definitions
section
in
35
Ill.
Adm. Code 211.
However,
in this
proceeding,
the Board has generally restricted editing to the definitions
of
“VOM” and the related definition of and “organic materials”
(“OM”),
as well
as
removing all
superscripts denoting degree
of temperature
to comport with the
policy of the Administrative Code Unit not to use superscripts and
subscripts.
For example,
it
is accepted convention to simply
leave a space
and express the temperature
as 270
F.
The Board will defer the other potential corrections to another
rulemaking.
For example, the definition of VOM references the
1986 edition of
the test methods of 40 CFR 60,
as does the closely related
35
Ill. Adm. Code
215.105.
The Board has
not proposed
to update this reference at this time
because
an update could
create dislocations
by referencing different editions
in different portions
of the rules.
Undertaking a review
of
all the
incorporations by reference in Subtitle B would greatly expand
the scope of
this expedited rulemaking.
However,
all these “abnormal”
incorporations by
reference need to
be consolidated into one or more incorporations by reference
sections, and
the dates
removed from the sections in which the references are
used,
as has been done
in the
othor’
Subtitles.
In this ~ay,it ~iill
be
possible
to routinely update these references
in a simple rulenaking without
risking dislocations.
As another example,
35
Ill. Adm. Code 211 includes many “local”
definitions which were intended to apply
to only a single
Part,
Subpart, or
section.
These need to
be
separated from the true “global” definitions, which
need to have the same meaning throughout
the Subtitle,
and moved
to the Part,
Subpart, or section
in which the
local definitions
are used.
The unnecessary
global definitions
are a major source
of the gridlock
in
air rulemaking.
In
any rulemaking
it
is necessary to work around these definitions,
and any
amendments
to them carry a risk oi unintended changes
to other portions of
the
rules.
ORDER
The Board
directs the Clerk
of the Board
to file
the following adopted
rule with
the Office
of
the Secretary of
State
and publish
a copy in the
Illinois Register.
