Dear Chairman Girard :

Thank you for your May 2, 2007, letter requesting the Department of Commerce and

Economic Opportunity ("Department") to conduct an economic impact study concerning the

IEPA's proposal to reduce NO, emissions from stationary reciprocating internal combustion en-

gines and turbines

.

The Department has reviewed the Board's request for an Economic Impact Study for

IEPA's proposal

. Based on this review, and in light of continued fiscal constraints, the Depart-

ment has decided not to conduct a study of the economic impact of the above referenced rule-

making proposal.

Thank you for soliciting the Department's input in this matter

.
