Statutory Authority: Sections 27 and 28 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act.
[415 ILCS 5/27 and 28]
5)
A Complete Description of the Subiects and Issues Involved : These regulations are
proposed in order to attain the new USEPA ozone NAAQS by 2010 and to protect the
health of Illinois citizens. The regulations seek to reduce volatile organic material
emissions ("VOM") from various consumer products, architectural and industrial
maintenance products, and aerosol coatings. If adopted, the rule will take effect on
January 1, 2009. These products represent significant, yet widely diffuse, sources of VOM
and are comprised of the various forms of consumer products used by individual
households and small businesses. Together, these items emit about 10% of the total
anthropogenic VOM emissions from sources in Illinois.
6)
Published studies or reports, and sources of underlying data, used to compose this
rulemaking: The regulatory proposal included the Illinois EPA's
Technical Support
Document
that relied on several published studies and reports. Copies of the documents
the Illinois EPA relied upon are available for review with the Pollution Control Board.
7)
Will this proposed rule replace an emergency rule currently in effect? No.
8)
Does this rulemaking contain an automatic repeal date? No.
9)
Does this proposed rule (amendment, repealer) contain incorporations by reference? Yes.
10)
Are there any other proposed amendments pending on this Part? No.

11) Statement of Statewide Policy Objective: This proposed rule does not create or enlarge a
State mandate, as defined in Section 3(b) of the State Mandates Act. [30 ILCS 805/3(b)
(2002)].
12) Time Place and Manner in which interested persons may comment on this proposed
rulemaking: The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will accept written public
comments on this proposal for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date of
publication in the Illinois Register. Comments should reference the Consumer
Products/AIM/Aerosol Rule and be addressed to:

13) Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
A)
Types of small businesses, small municipalities and not for profit corporations
affected: This
proposed regulation will have a modest impact on small
businesses throughout the State.
B)
Reporting
, Bookkeeping or other procedures required for compliance: No new
forms of recordkeeping are projected to be needed. Although a new topic for
some companies, most calculations will be familiar. Standard bookkeeping and
recordkeeping skills will suffice. Many larger companies are already performing
the reporting, bookkeeping and compliance duties in other states.
C)
Types of professional skills necessary for compliance: Traditional accounting
skills and recordkeeping skills will suffice. No new professional skills will be
necessary.
14) Regulatory
Agenda on which this rulemaking was summarized: July 2007

For the purpose of this definition and "Adhesive Remover" subcategories below,
the term "Adhesive" shall mean a substance used to bond one or more materials.
Adhesive includes, but is not limited to caulks, sealants, glues, or similar
substances used for the purpose of forming a bond.
6

 
"Floor and Wall Covering Adhesive Remover" means a product designed or
labeled to remove floor or wall coverings and associated adhesive from the
underlying substrate.
"Gasket or Thread Locking Adhesive Remover" means a product designed or
labeled to remove gaskets or thread locking adhesives. Products labeled for dual
use as a paint stripper and gasket remover and/or thread locking adhesive remover
are considered "Gasket or Thread Locking Adhesive Remover."
"General Purpose Adhesive Remover" means a product designed or labeled to
remove cyanoacrylate adhesives as well as non-reactive adhesives or residue from
a variety of substrates. "General Purpose Adhesive Remover" includes, but is not
limited to the following: products that remove thermoplastic adhesives, pressure
sensitive adhesives, dextrine or starchbased adhesives, casein glues, rubber or
latex-based adhesives, and products that remove stickers, decals, stencils, or
similar materials. "General Purpose Adhesive Remover" does not include "Floor
or Wall Covering Adhesive Remover."
"Specialty Adhesive Remover" means a product designed to remove reactive
adhesives from a variety of substrates. Reactive adhesives include adhesives that
require a hardener or catalyst in order for the bond to occur. Examples of reactive
adhesives include, but are not limited to epoxies, urethanes, and silicones.
"Specialty Adhesive Remover" does not include "Gasket or Thread Locking
Adhesive Remover."
"Aerosol adhesive" means an aerosol product in which the spray mechanism is
permanently housed in a nonrefillable can designed for hand-held application without the
need for ancillary hoses or spray equipment. This does not include "special purpose
spray adhesives," "mist spray adhesives" and "web spray adhesives."
"Aerosol cooking spray" means any aerosol product designed either to reduce sticking on
cooking and baking surfaces or to be applied on food, or both.
"Aerosol Product" means a pressurized spray system that dispenses product ingredients
by means of a propellant contained in a product or a product's container, or by means of a
mechanically induced force. "Aerosol Product" does not include "Pump Spray."
"Agricultural use" means the use of any pesticide or method or device for the control of
pests in connection with the commercial production, storage, or processing of any animal
or plant crop. This does not include the sale or use of pesticides in properly labeled
packages or containers that are intended for home use, use in structural pest control,
industrial or institutional use. For the purposes of this definition only:
"Home use" means use in a household or its immediate environment;
7

 
"Structural pest control" means a use requiring a license under the Structural Pest
Control Act, 225 ILCS 235;
"Industrial use" means use for or in a manufacturing, mining, or chemical process
or use in the operation of factories, processing plants, and similar sites; or
"Institutional use" means use within the lines of, or on property necessary for the
operation of, buildings such as hospitals, schools, libraries, auditoriums, and
office complexes.
"Air Freshener" means any consumer product including, but not limited to, sprays, wicks,
powders, and crystals, designed for the purpose of masking odors, or freshening,
cleaning, scenting, or deodorizing the air. "Air Freshener" does not include products that
are used on the human body, products that function primarily as cleaning products as
indicated on a product label, "Toilet/Urinal Care Products," disinfectant products
claiming to deodorize by killing germs on surfaces, or institutional and industrial
disinfectants when offered for sale solely through institutional and industrial channels of
distribution.
"Air Freshener" does include spray disinfectants and other products that are expressly
represented for use as air fresheners, except institutional and industrial disinfectants when
offered for sale through institutional and industrial channels of distribution. To
determine whether a product is an air freshener, all verbal and visual representations
regarding product use on the label or packaging and in the product's literature and
advertising may be considered. The presence of, and representations about, a product's
fragrance and ability to deodorize (resulting from surface application) shall not constitute
a claim of air freshening.
"All Other Carbon-Containing Compounds" means all other compounds which contain at
least one carbon atom and are not listed under Section 223.205(a) or are a "LVP-VOM."
"All Other Forms" means all consumer product forms for which no form-specific VOM
standard is specified. Unless specified otherwise by the applicable VOM standard, "All

Compliance Provisions and Test Methods
a)?
Calculation of VOM Content. For the purpose of determining compliance with
the VOM content limits in Section 223.310(a), the VOM content of a coating
shall be determined by using the procedures described in subsections
223.340(a)(I) or 223.340(a)(2), as appropriate. The VOM content of a tint base
shall be determined without colorant that is added after the tint base is
manufactured.
1)
With the exception of low solids coatings, determine the VOM content in
grams of VOM per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer's maximum
recommendation, excluding the volume of any water and exempt
compounds. Determine the VOM content as follows:
VOM Content =
?
(Ws - Ww - Wem)
(Vm - Vw - Vem)
Where:
VOM content = grams of VOM per liter of coating
Ws
?
= weight of volatiles, in grams
Ww
?
= weight of water, in grams
Wem?
= weight of exempt materials, in grams
Vm?
= volume of coating, in liters
Vw
?
= volume of water, in liters
Vem?
= volume of exempt materials, in liters
2)
For low solids coatings, determine the VOM content in units of grams of
VOM per liter of coating thinned to the manufacturer's maximum
recommendation, including the volume of any water and exempt
compounds. Determine the VOM content as follows:
VOM Content (Is) =
(Ws - Ww - Wem)
(Vm)
64

 
Where:
VOM content (Is) =
Ws
Ww
Wem
Vm
the VOM content of a low solids coating in grams per liter
of coating
= weight of volatile, in grams
= weight of water, in grams
= weight of exempt materials, in grams
= volume of coating, in liters
b) VOM
Content of Coatings. To determine the physical properties of a coating in

for VOM content is USEPA Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section
223.120, except as provided in subsections 223.350 and 223.360. An alternative
method to determine the VOM content of coatings is SCAQMD Method 304-91
(Revised February 1996), incorporated by reference in Section 223.120. The
exempt compounds content shall be determined by SCAQMD Method 303-91
(Revised August 1996), incorporated by reference in subsection Section 223.120.
To determine the VOM content of a coating, the manufacturer may use USEPA
Method 24, or an equivalent alternative method, as provided in Section 223.350,
formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating
has been formulated as intended (e.g. quality assurance checks, recordkeeping).
However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results of a Method 24 test
and any other means for determining VOM content, the Method 24 results will
govern, except when an equivalent alternative method is approved as specified in
Section 223.350. The Agency may require the manufacturer to conduct a Method
24 analysis.
Section 223.350 Alternative
Test Methods
Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purposes of deter-
mining compliance with subsection 223.340(b), after review and approved in writing by the
Agency and the USEPA may also be used.

Introduction
Pursuant to Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, and to protect the
public health, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") revised
the national ambient air quality standard ("NAAQS") for ozone. Effective July 17, 1997
the USEPA lowered the NAAQS for ozone to 0.080 parts per million from the previous
0.120 parts per million. In addition, the time period used for measuring compliance was
increased from the previous 1 hour to 8 hours. In Illinois, Chicago and the Metro East St.
Louis area have been designated as moderate ozone nonattainment areas under the new
NAAQS. Included in the Chicago nonattainment area ("NAA") are Cook, DuPage,
Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, as well as the Aux Sable Township and Goose
Lake Township in Grundy County, and Oswego Township in Kendall County. The
Metro East St. Louis NAA is comprised of Jersey, Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair
counties.
The precursors to the formation of ozone include volatile organic materials ("VOM"),
oxides of nitrogen ("NOx") and carbon monoxide ("CO"). Ozone formation is most
active during the summer months because the reactions are dependent on direct sunlight
and high ambient temperatures. Ozone is a powerful oxidant and, as such, reacts readily
with a wide range of substances. In humans, ozone is an irritant to the respiratory system
and may damage lung and other tissues. This damage can lead to impaired breathing and
reduced immunity to disease for people in good health. The effects may be more severe
for young children, the elderly, and people with preexisting respiratory diseases such as
4

 
asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Ozone oxidation can also damage plant tissue,
reducing the yield of some crops, and damage certain other materials such as rubber.
In 1997, the USEPA revised the NAAQS for ozone to reflect improved scientific
understanding of the health impacts of the pollutant. The change from the previous 1
hour standard to the 8 hour standard is based on extensive air pollution research that
indicated ozone is more harmful when a person is exposed over a longer period of time
even if the ozone concentration is lower. As such, the revised 8 hour standard is more
stringent than the previous 1 hour standard. The 8 hour standard had an effective date of
June 15, 2004, with the 1 hour standard being revoked one year later on June 15, 2005
(40 CFR Part 81).
To protect the public health of the citizens of the State of Illinois, and in an effort to
attain the 8 hour ozone NAAQS by 2010 as required by Section 181(a) of the Clean Air
Act, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Illinois EPA") is proposing to
reduce VOM emissions from consumer and commercial products, architectural and
industrial maintenance ("AIM") coatings, and aerosol coatings.
Consumer and commercial products are currently regulated by the USEPA by the
consumer and commercial products rule promulgated on Sept. 11, 1998, and codified at
40 CFR Part 59 Subpart D. This national rule currently limits the VOM content of 24
product categories. VOM emissions from these categories are estimated to have been
reduced by 20 percent from uncontrolled levels. However, the emissions due to the 24
5

 
categories currently being regulated account for only 48 percent of the consumer and
commercial products emission inventory3.
Architectural and industrial maintenance coatings are currently regulated by the USEPA
by the AIM coatings rule promulgated on Sept. 11, 1998, and codified at 40 CFR Part 59
Subpart D. This national rule includes container labeling requirements and is estimated
to reduce VOM emissions from AIM coatings by approximately 20% from uncontrolled
levels.
Aerosol Coatings are considered to be a Group III Consumer Product, and accordingly
are also regulated by 40 CFR Part 59 Subpart D. Currently, federal and Illinois consumer
product regulations do not deal specifically with the reactivity of various organic
compounds. The proposed rule for aerosol coatings limits the content of various VOM
compounds based upon their reactivity and their likelihood to form ground level ozone.
This proposed rule is based upon the California Air Resources Board's ("CARB")
"Regulation for Reducing the Ozone Formed from Aerosol Coating Product Emissions" 11
that has been employing a reactivity based standard for all aerosol coatings since January
1, 2003.
Further reductions in the aforementioned categories will be beneficial to the environment
and are considered to be both economically reasonable and technologically feasible. It is
for these reasons that the Illinois EPA has proposed this rule controlling consumer and
commercial products, AIM coatings, and aerosol coatings.

In evaluating the potential reductions of VOM emissions from consumer and commercial
products, architectural and industrial maintenance coatings, and aerosol coatings, Illinois
EPA has reviewed the findings of several groups researching the issue. The groups are
MACTEC, an environmental firm that is under contract with the Lake Michigan Air
Directors Consortium ("LADCO"); the Ozone Transport Commission ("OTC"), an
organization in the eastern United States created under the Clean Air Act; and the
California Air Resources Board ("CARB"). The OTC and CARB have drafted candidate
measures for the reduction of VOM that go beyond the current federal VOM limits, and
MACTEC, CARB, and USEPA have projected the potential reductions and the
associated cost of additional control through these measures.
This technical support document is based on the review and application of the
aforementioned organizations, and addresses the economic reasonableness and
technological feasibility of further regulation to reduce VOM emissions from consumer
and commercial products, AIM coatings, and aerosol coating products by limiting the
solvent content in these products, or the amount of ozone formed when these products are
used. It is the position of the Illinois EPA that further regulation of these source
categories is an integral part of its state implementation plan ("SIP") for achieving
attainment of the NAAQS in Illinois.

Description of Sources and Emissions
As defined by the USEPA in the federal rule, a consumer product is any household or
institutional product (including paints, coatings, and solvents), or substance, or article
(including any container or packaging) held by any person, the use, consumption, storage,
disposal, destruction, or decomposition of which may result in the release of VOC (40
CFR § 59.202). Consumer and commercial products are chemically formulated products
used by household and institutional consumers including, but not limited to, detergents;
cleaning compounds; polishes; floor finishes; cosmetics; personal care products; home,
lawn and garden products; disinfectants; sanitizers; aerosol paints; and automotive
specialty products; but does not include other paint products, furniture coatings, or
architectural coatings. The description consumer and commercial products also refers to
aerosol adhesives, including aerosol adhesives used for consumer, industrial, and
commercial uses.
Consumer and commercial products are sold to retail customers for personal, household,
or automotive use, along with products marketed by wholesale distributors for use in
commercial or industrial settings such as beauty shops, schools, and hospitals. This
source category description includes hundreds of products sold to individuals such as
personal care products, household products, automotive aftermarket products, adhesives
and sealants, insecticides, coatings and a range of other miscellaneous products.
