    FINAL OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.D.
    Dumelle):
    This matter comes before the Board upon
    an October
    11,
    1985
    proposal
    filed on behalf of the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency (Agency)
    for the adoption of regulations
    to establish
    standards
    for the emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide
    from gasoline powered vehicles.
    Those regulations were proposed
    pursuant
    to Section 13A-105 of the Illinois Vehicle Emission
    Inspection Law,
    Ill.
    Rev.
    Stat.,
    ch.
    95 1/2,

    et
    seq.
    and amend
    35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code
    240: Mobile Sources.
    Hearings
    were held on December
    2,
    1985 in Chicago and on December
    11,
    1985
    in Sauget.
    The Agency offered an amendment
    to the proposal
    at
    the December 11,
    1985 hearing which was filed with the Board on
    December
    12,
    1985.
    A comment
    was filed by the Chicago Department
    of Consumer Services
    (Chicago) on January
    6,
    1986 which offered
    alternative amendments.
    The Board adopted
    a proposed Opinion and
    Order on January
    23,
    1986, which allowed for public comments
    to
    be filed on
    or before February 20,
    1986.
    Chicago filed
    a public
    comment on February
    11,
    1986.
    No other comments were filed.
    This proceeding arises pursuant
    to P.A.
    83—1477,
    the Vehicle
    Emissions Inspections Law.
    Under that legislation the Board was
    given
    90 days from the date of filing of
    an Agency Inspection and
    Maintenance
    (I/M)
    proposal
    to adopt
    rules which
    are no more restrictive than necessary to achieve
    the reductions in vehicle hydrocarbon and carbon
    monoxide emissions,
    as determined
    by the applicable
    vehicle emissions estimation model
    and guidelines
    developed by the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency, which are necessary for
    compliance with the Clean Air Act.
    The emission
    standards established by the Board for vehicles
    of
    model
    year
    1981 or later promulgated
    shall
    be
    identical
    in substance to the emissions standards
    promulgated
    by the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency in connection with the emission
    performance warranty eligibility under Section
    207(b) of the Clean Air Act.
    Section
    13A-1O5(a).

    -2-
    Under this
    provision final Board rulemaking should have been
    completed
    by January
    8,
    1986.
    That date, however, has not been
    met despite expeditious handling, but the Agency has stated that
    the Board’s failure to meet the statutory deadline should not
    have any effect on the date the program commences.
    (R.
    34_35)•*
    Under the Vehicle Emissions Inspections Law the Agency is
    required to establish an I/N program
    in specified portions of the
    Chicago and East
    St. Louis metropolitan areas.
    (R.
    11).
    The I/N
    program consists
    of mandatory annual exhaust emission inspections
    of most motor vehicles in those areas from 1986 through 1991.
    (R.
    11-12).
    The inspections will take place
    at
    18 inspections
    stations set up and operated
    by Systems Control,
    Inc.
    (R.
    12-
    13)
    The Agency has adopted rules setting forth the overall
    program procedures
    at
    35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code
    276.
    Prior to the
    commencement
    of
    inspections
    (mandated
    to
    be
    no
    later
    than
    July,
    1986)
    each
    owner
    of
    an
    affected
    vehicle
    will
    be
    sent
    an
    emissions
    inspection
    sticker
    which
    will
    specify
    a
    date
    by
    which
    the
    vehicle
    must
    be
    inspected
    in
    order
    to
    obtain
    a
    renewal
    sticker.
    (R.
    13).
    The inspection will consist of determining the hydrocarbon
    and carbon monoxide emissions
    of the vehicle to determine
    compliance with emissions standards for those pollutants.
    (R.
    14).
    The establishment of those standards is the central concern
    of
    this proceeding.
    If
    the vehicle’s emissions meet those
    standards, the owner will obtain a 1-year renewal sticker.
    (R.
    15).
    The owner
    of
    a vehicle which does not meet the standards
    will be given
    a copy of the test results and
    a form
    to
    be
    completed by
    a repairman, and the vehicle must then be retested
    at
    a later date.
    (R.
    15).
    If the vehicle again fails to meet
    the standards the owner may request
    a state inspector to issue
    a
    waiver for the vehicle which will be issued if all manufacturer’s
    emissions warranty repairs have been made, there has been
    a
    proper low emissions tuneup, and for 1975 and later model
    year
    vehicles
    a catalytic converter and fuel inlet restrictor must be
    properly installed and functioning.
    (R. 16-17).
    If
    a waiver is
    not granted, the decision can be appealed or the owner may seek
    to remedy the problem and take
    a second retest.
    (R.
    17).
    No
    further tests
    will
    be allowed thereafter.
    (R.
    17).
    Anyone
    failing to comply with the inspection law may result
    in
    suspension of
    the owner’s driving privileges
    or his vehicle
    registration,
    or both.
    (R.
    18).
    Section 240.102
    Proposed amendments
    to Section 240.102 include the addition
    of
    definitions
    for
    “Idle
    Mode,”
    “Heavy
    Duty
    Vehicle,”
    “High
    Idle,”

    and “Two-Speed Idle Test.”
    No question was raised concerning the
    definitions
    of
    “Idle Mode,”
    “High Idle,”
    “Model Year,”
    or
    “Two-
    Speed Idle Test.”
    However, some question did arise regarding the
    classification definitions
    of
    “Heavy Duty Vehicle,”
    “Light Duty
    Truck,” and “Light Duty Vehicle.”
    James Matheny,
    an environmental specialist with the Agency’s
    vehicle inspection and maintenance program stated that “the
    intent
    of
    these
    definitions
    was
    to
    maintain
    consistency
    between
    the
    Illinois
    Vehicle
    Code
    and
    the
    definitions
    of
    passenger
    cars,
    first
    division
    vehicles
    and
    second
    division
    vehicles,
    and
    then
    with USEPA definitions for the establishment of
    passenger car
    versus truck emission standards.”
    (R.
    63-64).
    The proposed
    definitions
    are
    as follows:
    “Heavy
    Duty
    Vehicle”:
    a
    motor
    vehicle
    rated
    at
    more
    than 8000 pounds gross vehicle weight,
    which is
    designed for carrying more than ten persons
    or
    designed for the transportation of property,
    freight
    or
    cargo.
    “Light
    Duty
    Truck”:
    a
    motor
    vehicle
    rated
    at
    8000
    pounds
    gross
    vehicle
    weight
    or
    less,
    which
    is
    designed for carrying more than
    10 persons
    or
    designed for the transportation of property,
    freight
    or cargo, or
    is
    a derivative of
    such a
    vehicle.
    “Light Duty Vehicle”:
    passenger cars designed to
    carry no more than
    10 persons.
    A question arose as to the necessity,
    or effect,
    of the language
    “designed
    for
    the
    transportation
    of
    property,
    freight
    or
    cargo”
    in the definition of Heavy Duty Vehicle.
    At one point Mr.
    Matheny was asked which classification would
    be appropriate for a
    vehicle which is not designed to carry more than ten persons
    but
    weighs more than 8000 pounds.
    The response was:
    “then it is
    a
    heavy duty vehicle.
    Or it should be
    a heavy duty vehicle.”
    (R.
    63).
    However, when asked why the classification
    is not simply by
    weight, he stated that there are certain vehicles
    “that do weigh
    more than 8000 pounds that are registered
    or are certified to
    meet passenger car emission standards, registered
    as passenger
    cars.”
    (R.
    65).
    This certification is apparently by USEPA.
    (R.
    65).
    The
    USEPA
    definition
    of
    Heavy
    Duty
    Vehicle
    is
    simply
    based
    on
    a
    gross
    vehicle
    weight
    of
    greater
    than
    8500
    pounds.*
    (40
    CFR
    *
    No
    explanation
    is
    given
    for
    the
    weight
    limit
    under
    the
    USEPA
    definition
    (8500 pounds) and the proposed limit
    (8000 pounds).
    However, the Board presumes that the emission reduction analysis
    is premised on the 8000 pound limitation and will retain the
    figure.

    —4—
    86.082-2).
    The definition of Light Duty Truck is
    a vehicle of
    less than that weight which is designed to carry more than
    12
    passengers or for the transportation
    of property or
    is available
    with features allowing off-street
    use.
    (id.).
    A Light Duty
    vehicle
    is defined
    as
    a passenger car for fewer than
    12 people.
    (id.).
    Under the Illinois Vehicle Code
    (IVC) vehicles are
    divided into two divisions.
    First Division vehicles
    are those
    motor vehicles designed for carrying 10 or fewer persons, and
    Second Division vehicles
    are those designed for carrying more
    than 10 persons, those designed for use as living quarters or for
    carrying property, freight
    or cargo, and school buses.
    (Ill.
    Rev. Stat.
    1985,
    ch.
    95 1/2,
    par.
    1-217).
    Both the USEPA and IVC systems appear to clearly classify
    all types
    of vehicles whereas
    the Agency’s proposal,
    which
    combines elements
    of
    both,
    does not.
    Furthermore, complete
    consistency with both sets
    of definitions
    is clearly
    impossible.
    In order
    to provide clarity, and without making the
    definitions
    any more inconsistent than they presently are,
    the
    Board proposes to amend the definition of Heavy Duty Vehicle by
    deleting everything after the word “weight,”
    thus making all
    vehicles
    of greater than 8000 pounds fall under this
    classification.
    Vehicles
    of under that weight would then be
    subdivided as Light Duty Vehicles or Light Duty Trucks based upon
    use.
    The Board does not expect this change to significantly
    affect the emissions reductions
    under
    the program and believes
    that what may be lost
    in that regard is more than offset by the
    enhanced clarity and enforceability of the rule
    as modified.
    Section 240.104
    The Agency has proposed to delete existing Section 240.104
    in its entirety and to substitute new language since the present
    language
    is “meaningless
    and unenforceable,
    ...
    and
    is
    a
    throwback to
    a regulation
    of the now defunct Illinois Air
    Pollution Control Board.”
    (Rh.
    6).
    The new language simply
    states that vehicles subject to inspection shall meet the
    emission standards
    of Section 240.124.*
    The Board agrees with the Agency that the existing language
    is inappropriate
    in that
    it refers
    to
    a program which has never
    been adopted and
    could cause confusion with the presently
    proposed I/M program.
    Some question was raised by Chicago as
    to
    whether deletion of this provision would result
    in the deletion
    of substantive provisions regarding tampering and opacity.
    However, the Board also agrees with the Agency that the deletion
    of this provision in no way impairs the prohibitions against air
    pollution control equipment tampering or against
    the presence
    of
    visible emissions from motor vehicle exhaust pipes.
    These
    prohibitions remain in 35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code 240.103
    and 240.121.
    *
    The proposal contains
    a typographical error and refers
    to
    Section 204.124.

    —5—
    CR11.
    5-7).
    The Board, therefore, proposes
    to amend Section
    240.124
    as proposed by the Agency.
    Section 240.105
    The Agency originally proposed the deletion of Section
    240.105 regarding penalties in its entirety.
    However,
    at the
    December
    11,
    1985
    hearing
    the
    Agency
    proposed
    substitute
    language.
    The
    language
    which
    is
    proposed
    to
    be
    deleted
    simply
    states
    that
    violations
    of
    the
    mobile
    source
    rules
    shall
    be
    subject to the penalty provisions
    of Section 42 of the
    Environmental Protection Act
    (Act).
    However,
    penalties imposed
    pursuant to the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law, are subject
    to
    the provisions
    of Sections 13A-112 and 13A-1l3 of Chapter
    95 1/2
    of the Illinois Revised Statutes.
    Existing provisions remain
    constrained by Section
    42 of the Act.
    Given that different
    provisions
    of Part
    240 are subject
    to differing penalty
    provisions,
    the Board finds that it is appropriate to include
    a
    section as proposed by the Agency in its Petition to Amend which
    sets out these differing provisions.
    Section 240.106
    Present Section 240.106 sets out the requirements for
    determining
    violations
    of
    the
    opacity
    standards
    and
    equipment
    requirements.
    The
    Agency
    has
    proposed
    amendments
    which
    would
    add
    requirements
    for
    the
    determination
    of
    violations
    of
    the
    exhaust
    emissions
    standards
    for
    carbon
    monoxide
    and
    hydrocarbons.
    The
    substance
    of
    this
    proposed
    amendment
    was
    not
    questioned.
    However,
    as
    proposed,
    the
    new
    requirements
    would
    be
    contained
    in
    a
    “hanging
    paragraph,”
    which
    the
    Board
    attempts
    to
    avoid
    for
    purposes
    of ease of reference
    and clarity.
    At hearing the Board
    suggested that the new provision be denominated as subsection
    (c).
    The Agency did not agree with that suggestion since
    subsection
    Cc) does
    not fall appropriately under the introductory
    language of the section.
    The Board agrees.
    However, the Board
    proposes
    the amendment
    of
    this Section in such a way that both
    concerns are met.
    The substance, however,
    is intended to remain
    unchanged.
    Section 240.124
    Section 240.124 is
    at the heart of this
    proceeding and is
    also the most contested provision.
    This
    section establishes
    the
    vehicle exhaust emissions limitations for carbon monoxide and
    hydrocarbon for the various classifications
    of vehicles
    subject
    to the I/M program.
    USEPA requires that all federally mandated
    hIM programs
    be designed at
    a minimum
    to meet Reasonably
    Available Control Technology
    (RACT) standards.
    (R.
    44).
    The
    Vehicle Emissions Inspections Law further requires that “emission
    standards
    be set no more restrictive than necessary
    to achieve
    the reductions
    ...
    necessary for compliance with the Clean Air
    Act.”
    (R. 44-45).
    Thus,
    the Board is constrained to adopt

    —6—
    standards equivalent
    to RACT which has been determined to
    represent
    an emission reduction of 25
    of hydrocarbons
    and 35
    of
    carbon monoxide.
    (R.
    45-46).
    In order to meet these goals
    the Agency had
    to select the
    type of emission test
    to
    be used for 1981 and later model
    years
    (idle test or two-speed test),
    the failure rate
    (stringency), and
    finally the actual emission test standards which will result
    in
    meeting the required RACT emission reductions
    of 25
    of
    hydrocarbons
    and
    35
    of carbon monoxides.
    The Agency utilized
    the MOBILE
    2 motor vehicle emission estimation model
    to calculate
    both the required failure rate applicable
    to the pre-1981
    vehicles
    and the appropriate test for the 1981
    and later models.
    Since
    1981, motor vehicles have been required
    to
    be equipped
    with computer controlled
    engines
    and sophisticated emissions
    control systems.
    Consequently,
    the pre-1981 and the 1981 and
    later model vehicles require different considerations
    for the
    type
    of test and failure rate to achieve the required emission
    reductions.
    If an idle mode test were chosen for the later
    year
    models,
    a 30
    failure rate for the pre-1981 vehicle would be
    needed to meet RACT requirements.
    (R.
    48).
    However,
    since
    a two
    step, loaded mode test that simulates real driving conditions
    can
    more accurately identify those vehicles that are emitting
    pollution in excess
    of applicable design standards, by selecting
    ~he two step test only
    a 20
    failure rate was needed for the pre-
    1981 vehicles due to the greater reductions for the newer
    vehicles.
    (R.
    47).
    The Agency, therefore,
    chose the two-speed
    test which should result in overall program cost savings.
    (R.
    50).
    Having selected the type of test and failure rate,
    the
    Agency proposed the federal warranty standards
    as the emission
    standard,
    as required by statute, for the 1981 and later
    vehicles.
    Finally, the Agency proposed standards for the pre-
    1981 vehicles that would produce
    a nominal 20
    failure rate which
    is needed
    to meet the overall emission reductions.
    The Agency
    attempted to set these standards
    in such a manner that each
    vehicle classification for which an emission standard was
    established would have the same 20
    failure rate.
    This was done
    to establish equitable and uniform failure rates for all model
    years.
    (R.
    51).
    In order
    to select these standards, the Agency
    utilized data from existing I/M programs in Wisconsin and
    Louisville,
    Kentucky, since those programs are relatively new,
    centralized, contractor-operated
    programs in nearby geographical
    areas,
    and, therefore,
    should be most analogous
    to Illinois’
    proposed program.
    (R.
    54).
    The
    data
    from
    these
    programs
    was
    evaluated to determine the actual emission test standards
    by
    model year groupings
    that
    would
    correspond
    to
    the
    20
    failure
    rate.
    USEPA
    and
    Agency
    witnesses
    contend
    that the standards
    proposed
    meet
    the
    statutory
    requirements,
    i.e. they are
    as
    stringent
    as necessary,
    but no more so,
    to meet
    federal

    —7—
    demands.
    The record
    is, further, devoid of any evidence to the
    contrary.
    The only substantial issues are raised by the Chicago
    Department
    of Consumer Services.
    Joseph Seliber,
    P.E.,
    on its
    behalf, argues, essentially, that the proposal is not stringent
    enough
    and
    that
    the
    program
    should
    include
    anti-tampering
    requirements.
    It reiterates
    this view in its February 11,
    1986
    comments.
    Mr.
    Seliber stated that the “cutpoints for 1979 and
    older
    cars detailed in Section 240.124 should be tightened up,
    particularly the carbon monoxide standard.”
    (R.
    83).
    He further
    stated that
    “it
    is desirable to provide more than the minimum
    emission reduction requirement,
    if
    it can be done
    at little extra
    cost” and that
    if Chicago’s proposal
    “results in air which
    is
    cleaner than necessary,
    it will give us the opportunity to absorb
    more
    industrial growth.”
    (R.
    9).
    Instead of
    basing the proposed
    standards on
    a determination of what level would result in the
    necessary failure rate, Chicago based its standards
    “on the basis
    of knowledge of engine combustion principles, and the practical
    experience of supervising thousands
    of carburetor adjustments”
    during the City’s voluntary inspection program
    in the late
    1970’s.
    (R.
    104).
    Mr. Seliber also believes that the I/M program ought
    to
    include
    a tampering inspection.
    In order to accomplish this the
    Department recommends
    a two-tier standard:
    those vehicles which
    meet the strictest standard would automatically get a
    certification sticker, regardless
    of whether the car had been
    tampered with; those which fail to meet the more lenient standard
    would not get
    a sticker regardless
    of tampering,
    and those
    in the
    middle would be inspected for tampering and would
    get
    a sticker
    only if there were no evidence of tampering.
    A tampering
    inspection would allegedly take
    a minute or less, would
    significantly reduce emissions beyond the Agency’s proposal and
    thereby result in quicker attainment of the NAAQS.
    Chicago believes
    that
    its proposal
    is consistent with the
    legislative mandate.
    The basis for that position is that “the
    requirements which the Illinois EPA is trying to follow are
    predicated on many assumptions which are difficult for them to
    prove” and that
    in determining the establishment
    of minimum
    standards
    (i.e.
    “no more restrictive than necessary” under
    the
    Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law),
    minimum standard should be
    defined as
    “that standard which
    is likely to achieve the goal at
    no
    significant extra cost.”
    (R.
    106).
    In short,
    Chicago urges
    that
    a safety factor
    be included in establishing the emissions
    standards and by including an anti-tampering inspection.
    In its February
    11,
    1986 comments, Chicago
    takes this
    argument one step further.
    It contends that the Board must adopt
    these more stringent measures
    since Section 13A-1O5(a) of the
    Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law requires compliance with the
    Clean Air Act and Section 172 of that Act requires attainment of
    the NAAQS
    “as expeditiously as practicable.”
    Since these more

    —8—
    stringent standards are practicable, the argument concludes,
    they
    must
    be
    adopted.
    However,
    the Board
    gives weight to the testimony of the
    USEPA witness regarding the federal acceptability of the proposed
    rules.
    Furthermore, the Board finds
    that the legislation does
    not
    allow
    the
    Board
    to
    adopt
    anti-tampering
    rules
    or
    more
    stringent
    standards
    in
    this proceeding.
    The I/M,
    fast-track,
    legislation
    appears
    to
    be
    clearly
    limited
    to
    establishing
    emission standards
    and not tampering prohibitions.
    Furthermore,
    I/M contracts have been signed which do not include inspections
    for tampering and such
    a change would undoubtedly set back the
    program which is already falling behind schedule.
    Thus, while
    there
    is considerable merit to this proposal, the legal and
    practical impediments are too great to be overcome in this
    proceeding.
    Any such action would require
    a new rulemaking.
    The
    Board, therefore, proposes Section 240.124
    as
    proposed by the
    Agency.
    Section
    240. 125
    Section 240.125 simply requires that compliance with the
    emission limitations shall
    be determined using the idle mode for
    all vehicles and that 1981 and later light duty vehicles and
    light duty trucks shall also be tested at high idle.
    The
    emission limitations of Section 240.124
    are dependent upon the
    use of this testing mechanism and no one has questioned
    the
    propriety of the rule.
    The Board, therefore, proposes this
    section
    as
    proposed by the Agency.
