Proposed Rule. Second Notice.
 
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
 
Today the Board adopts the proposed rule for second notice pursuant to the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1
et seq
.). This rulemaking, proposed by the
Chemical Industry Council of Illinois (CICI), proposes revisions to the Board’s regulations
regarding exemptions from air construction and operating permit requirements. The proposal
seeks to add one category to the existing list of permit exemptions in Section 201.146. 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 201.146. According to CICI, the purpose of the proposal is to eliminate the burden
of state construction and operating permitting of low emitting emission units and activities for
both the Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and owners and operators of plastic
injection molding (PIM) operations.
 
The Board received no public comments during the 45-day first-notice public comment
period, which ended November 28, 2005, and the proposal adopted here is substantively
unchanged from that adopted in the Board’s September 15, 2005 first-notice opinion and order.
In this opinion, the Board provides the procedural history of this rulemaking, an overview of the
proposed exemption, and a discussion of the second-notice proposal.
 
Today the Board adopts this proposal for second-notice review by the Joint Committee
on Administrative Rules (JCAR).
 
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
 
CICI states that because of the low level of emissions they generate, PIM operations
would qualify for the exemption from permitting for Federally Enforceable State Operating
Permit (FESOP) sources with a low potential to emit proposed by the proponents in the pending
rulemaking docket Proposed Amendments to Exemptions from State Permitting Requirements
(35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.146), R05-19. Statement at 3. CICI states, however, that proposed
FESOP sources exemption would apply only to permitted facilities, so PIM facilities that do not
require an Agency-issued air pollution control permit would not be eligible for that proposed
exemption.
 

 
 
2
Today the Board adopts CICI’s proposal for first-notice. First notice publication in the
Illinois Register
will begin a 45-day period for interested persons to file public comments with
the Board. The Board describes the proposed exemption and the various issues raised at hearing
in more detail below.
 
PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
 
On April 19, 2005, CICI filed this proposal for rulemaking pursuant to Sections 27 and
28 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.202(b).
1
The Board
accepted this matter for hearing on May 5, 2005. Section 201.146 contains a list of 59
exemptions based on categories of emission units and activities that CICI refers to as
“categorical exemptions.” Statement at 1-2.
2
The proposed amendment would include PIM
operations in the categories of emissions units exempt from state air permitting requirements.
The Board notes that it is simultaneously adopting for first notice another proposal that amends
Section 201.146, entitled Proposed Amendments to Exemptions from State Permitting
Requirements (35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.146), R05-19 (Sept. 15, 2005).
 
The Board granted CICI’s motion to expedite this rulemaking on May 19, 2005. The
Board has held two public hearings in this rulemaking. The first hearing was held on July 1,
2005, in Chicago before Hearing Officer Amy Antoniolli and the second hearing was held on
July 15, 2005, in Springfield before Hearing Officer John Knittle.
3
 
 
Mr. Lynne Harris, Vice-President for Science and Technology of the Society of the
Plastics Industry, Incorporated (SPI, Inc.) testified on behalf of CICI. Ms. Lisa Frede, Director
of Regulatory Affairs for CICI, testified on CICI’s behalf and stated that CICI has 198 member
companies with over 54,000 employees. Tr.1 at 15. Ms. Pat Sharkey also testified on CICI’s
behalf.
 
Mr. Don Sutton testified on behalf of the Agency. Mr. Sutton is the manager of the
permit section, Division of Air Pollution Control, Bureau of Air, since 1991. Mr. Sutton is
responsible for issuing construction and operating permits for the Bureau of Air.
 
There have been two public comments filed in this rulemaking. The first was a
correction to the July 1, 2005 hearing transcript filed by the Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency) (PC 1), and the second was a post-hearing comment filed by CICI (PC 2). CICI has
filed three errata sheets suggesting changes to the proposed rule language.
 
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL FOR SECOND-NOTICE
 
  
1
The proponents’ statement of reasons will be cited to as “Statement at _.”
 
2
The Board will cite to the Statement of Reasons as “Statement at _.”
 
3
The transcripts from the April 12, 2005 hearing will be cited to as “Tr.1 at _,” and the transcript
from the June 14, 2005 hearing will be cited to as “Tr.2 at _.”

 
 
3
The proposed exemption adds a new exemption for owners and operators of PIM
operations to the existing list of permit exemptions in Section 201.146. 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201.146. The rule language limits the exemption to facilities that use 5,000 tons or less of resin
annually in the PIM process. The 5,000 ton limit applies facility-wide rather than to each piece
of PIM equipment. Tr.2 at 10.
 
  
DISCUSSION OF SECOND-NOTICE PROPOSAL
 
The Board has received no public comments during the first-notice public comment
period. At second notice, the Board only makes changes received from JCAR all of which are
grammatical and non-substantive and, therefore, require no discussion.
 
The Board found at first notice that the proposal did not raise concerns regarding
technical feasibility. Nobody testified or commented about DCEO’s decision not to perform an
economic impact study on this rulemaking. As found at first notice, the Board finds here that the
proposal is both technically feasible and economically reasonable.
 
CONCLUSION
 
The Board adopts the proposed exemption from state air permitting proposal for second-
notice review by JCAR. The 45-day second-notice public comment period will begin on the date
written notice is received by JCAR and the Board will accept comments only from JCAR during
the second-notice period.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.606.
 
ORDER
 
The Board directs the Clerk to cause the filing of the following rule with the Joint
Committee on Administrative Rules for its second-notice review. Proposed deletions to the
current rules are stricken and proposed additions are underlined.
