1) Rulemaking: No docket presently reserved.

A) Description:

The IEPA is currently developing amendments for proposal to the Board

to accomplish several goals in a single cleanup rulemaking. This includes

the following amendments to the Illinois ozone rules: (1) the rulemaking

may amend existing air pollution control rules for lithographic printing

operations to clean up the existing language to make Parts 218 and 219

consistent with revisions to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 211 (Definitions) and

with recent revisions to these rules; (2) the rulemaking may include

amendments to existing rules for volatile organic liquid storage tanks; (3)

the rulemaking may include a rule to amend existing rules for

perchlorethylene dry cleaners, since perchloroethylene was delisted as a

volatile organic material by the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA); (4) the rulemaking may amend existing rules for

capture efficiency testing in order to make state rules consistent with

USEPA's final rule on the revised capture efficiency test methods; (5) the

rulemaking may correct minor or nonsubstantive errors amending rules for

incorporations by reference, batch operations, and afterburner operation,

air oxidation reactors and vapor collection and control systems; and (6) the

rulemaking may also amend Part 211 to conform any possible conflicting

provisions with the changes made to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218 and 219.

B) Statutory authority:

Implementing and authorized by Sections 9.8, 27, 28.2, and 28.5 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9.8, 27, 28.2 & 28.5].

E) Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

corporation:

This rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality, or not-

for-profit corporation that emits volatile organic material. However, the

IEPA anticipates that the amendments will have no new substantive

impact on any sources, since the amendments will be a clean-up of

existing requirements.

d) Part (Heading and Code Citation):

DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS (35 Ill. Adm. Code 211)

1) Rulemaking: Docket number R01-19

A) Description:

Section 9.1(e) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9.1(e)]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois definition of volatile organic

material (VOM) to reflect the additions made by the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to the list of compounds

exempt from regulation as ozone precursors. Those compounds are

determined by USEPA to be exempt from regulation under the state

implementation plan (SIP) for ozone in the federal “Recommended

Policy on the Control of Volatile Organic Compounds” (Recommended

Policy) due to their negligible photochemical reactivity. On February 3,

1992 (57 Fed. Reg. 3945), USEPA codified its definition of VOM at 40

CFR 51.100(s), which now embodies the former Recommended Policy.

This codified definition now includes all the compounds and classes of

compounds previously exempted in the former Recommended Policy.

The Illinois definition of VOM is presently codified at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

211.7150.

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

The Board has reserved docket number R01-19 to accommodate any

amendments to the 40 CFR 51.100(s) definition of VOM that USEPA

may make in the period July 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000. At

this time, the Board is not aware of any federal amendments to the

federal definition of VOM. The Board will verify the existence of any

federal actions and the Board action required in response to each in

coming weeks, by about mid-February 2001. The Board will then

propose corresponding amendments to the Illinois definition of VOM

using the identical-in-substance procedure or dismiss docket R01-19, as

necessary and appropriate.

Section 9.1(e) mandates that the Board complete our amendments within

one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which our

amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that

USEPA adopted an amendment that will require Board action on the first

day of the update period, on July 1, 2000, the due date for Board

adoption would be July 1, 2001.

B) Statutory authority:

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 9.1(e), and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 9.1(e) & 27].

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

None scheduled at this time. The Board will vote to propose any

amendments at an open meeting. The Board will then schedule and

conduct at least one public hearing, as required by Section 118 of the

federal Clean Air Act (42 USC § 7418) for amendment of the Illinois

ozone SIP.

D) Date agency anticipates First Notice:

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-February 2001, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois

definition of VOM that are necessary in response to the federal

amendments that have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of

amendments in this docket is assumed to be July 1, 2001, for the

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

purposes of illustration, the Board would vote to propose amendments

and cause a Notice of Proposed Amendments to appear in the

Illinois

Register

by late-March 2001. This would be sufficiently in advance of

the due date to allow the Board to accept public comments on the

proposal for 45 days before acting to adopt any amendments.

Alternatively, if no amendment to the Illinois definition is needed, the

Board would promptly dismiss this reserved docket.

E) Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

corporations:

This rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality, or

not-for-profit corporation that engages in the emission of a chemical

compound that is the subject of a proposed exemption or proposed

deletion from the USEPA list of exempted compounds.

provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative

Procedure Act (APA) [5 ILCS 100/5-35, 40] shall not apply. Because

this rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of the APA, it is not subject to

First Notice or to Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules. Rather, the Board will cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

, and it will accept public

comments on the proposal for 45 days after the date of publication.

NITROGEN OXIDES EMISSIONS (35 Ill. Adm. Code 217)

1) Rulemaking: No docket number presently assigned.

A) Description

On October 27, 1998, USEPA found Illinois’ State Implementation Plan

(SIP), and that of numerous other states, deficient for failing to contain

provisions requiring control of emissions that contribute to non-

attainment or interfere with maintenance of the ozone air quality standard

in other states pursuant to Section 110(a)(2)(D) of the CAA. Under this

rulemaking, Illinois was required to adopt NOx emission controls for

four categories of industrial sources. The Agency has already proposed

rules to control large stationary sources of nitrogen oxides (NOX),

specifically, boilers and turbines serving electric generator units greater

than 25 megawatts; boilers, and turbines with head input greater than

250 mmBtu/hr; and large cement kilns with ozone season emissions

greater than one ton. The fourth category, large internal combustion

engines, is the subject of this notice. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the

D.C. Circuit remanded this category to USEPA for further

consideration. Once USEPA promulgates a final rule for large internal

combustion engines, the Agency will have to proceed promptly with the

rulemaking. The Agency may also revise Sections in 35 Ill. Adm. Code

201 concerning continuous emissions monitoring.

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

A) Description:

Section 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/13.3]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois wastewater pretreatment

regulations to reflect revisions made to the federal wastewater

pretreatment rules made by the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

The Board has reserved docket number R01-25 to accommodate any

amendments to the federal wastewater pretreatment rules, 40 CFR 400

through 499, that the USEPA may have made in the period July 1, 2000,

through December 31, 2000. At this time, the Board is aware that

USEPA undertook one action that affected the text of 40 CFR 400

through 499 and its implementation. These actions, together with a brief

description of each, are as follows:

65 Fed. Reg. 49666

(August 14, 2000)

USEPA established a new part containing

effluent limitations and pretreatment standards

for sources in the transportation equipment

cleaning industry category.

The Board has not yet verified which if any of these listed federal actions

will actually require amendments to the Illinois wastewater pretreatment

regulations. The Board has not yet determined whether this listing of

federal actions is an exhaustive listing of all federal actions that affect the

text of 40 CFR 400 through 499. The Board will verify the existence of

any additional federal actions and the Board action required in response

to each set of federal amendments in coming weeks, by about mid-

February 2001. The Board will propose corresponding amendments to

the wastewater pretreatment regulations using the identical-in-substance

procedure.

Section 9.1(e) of the Act mandates that the Board complete amendments

within one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon

which the amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of

illustration that the earliest USEPA action during the update period that

will require Board action is August 14, 2000, the due date for Board

adoption of all amendments in the period would be August 14, 2001.

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

None are scheduled at this time. If the Board determines to propose

amendments, the Board will vote to do so at an open meeting. No public

hearing is required in identical-in-substance proceedings.

D) Date agency anticipates First Notice:

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-February 2001, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois

wastewater treatment rules that are necessary in response to the federal

amendments that have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of

amendments in this docket is assumed to be August 14, 2001, the Board

will vote to propose amendments and cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

by mid-May 2001. This

would be sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow the Board to

accept public comments on the proposal for 45 days before acting to

adopt any amendments.

E) Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

Section 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act provides that Title VII

of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) [5

ILCS 100/5-35, 5-40] shall not apply. Because this rulemaking is not

141 through 143, that the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) may make in the period July 1, 2000, through

December 31, 2000. At this time, the Board is aware that USEPA

undertook one action that affected the text of 40 CFR 141 through 143.

This action, together with a brief description, is as follows:

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

65 Fed. Reg. 76708

(December 7, 2000)

USEPA adopted national primary drinking water

regulations (NPDWRs) for nadionuclides.

Included were maximum contaminant levels

(MCLs) and monitoring, reporting, and public

notification requirements for community water

systems. USEPA instituted new monitoring

requirements for uranium, an unregulated

contaminant; combined radium (Ra

226+RA

228);

and gross alpha particle, beta particle, and

photon radioactivity. The MCLs for combined

radium and gross alpha particle, beta particle,

and photon radioactivity remained unchanged

from those in the interim NPDWRs for those

contaminants. (The Board will need to make

corresponding amendments.)

The Board has not determined the nature of any amendments that might

be required by the above federal action. The Board must determine what

amendments, if any, will be necessary in response to the federal

amendments. Further, the Board has not yet determined whether this

listed federal action is the only federal action that affect the text of 40

CFR 141 through 143. The Board will verify the existence of any

additional federal actions and the Board action required in response to

each set of federal amendments in coming weeks, by about mid-February

2001. The Board will then propose corresponding amendments to the

Illinois SDWA regulations using the identical-in-substance procedure or

dismiss docket R01-20, as necessary and appropriate.

Section 17.5 mandates that the Board complete its amendments within

one year of the date on which the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) adopted its action upon which the amendments are

based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that USEPA adopted an

amendment that will require Board action on the first day of the update

period, on December 7, 2000, the due date for Board adoption would be

December 7, 2001.

These amendments may affect small business, small municipalities, and

not-for-profit corporations that own or operate a "public water supply",

as defined by Section 3.28 of the Act, i.e., it has at least fifteen service

connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily

at least 60 days out of the year, or it is assisting a public water supply to

demonstrate compliance with the federally-derived National Primary

Drinking Water Standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611. However, it is

anticipated that the proceeding will not likely have a quantifiable affect

on these entities because the program for national laboratory certification

is voluntary. The burden of compliance with the requirements, such as

GROUNDWATER QUALITY (35 Ill. Adm. Code 620)

1) Rulemaking: R01-14

A) Description:

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has filed a

rulemaking proposal before the Board that would amend Section 620.505

of the groundwater quality regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 620.505) in

response to an interpretation of that Section by the appellate court in

People v. Stonehedge (94-CH-46, May 22, 1997). Compliance

monitoring points are broken into different categories in Section

620.505. Samples taken from potable water wells other than community

water supply wells are acceptable under certain circumstances. The

amendments would seek to expand those circumstances to instances in

which the IEPA has sufficient hydrogeologic, geologic, construction, and

other information to determine the reliability of data generated by

analyses of samples from those wells. The amendment would provide

increased protection of the groundwater by allowing sampling of greater

sampling points.

mandates that the Board update the Illinois underground injection control

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

(UIC) regulations to reflect amendments to the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) UIC regulations.

The Board has reserved docket number R01-21 to accommodate any

amendments to the federal UIC regulations, 40 CFR 144 through 148,

during the period July 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000. At this time,

the Board is aware that USEPA undertook one action that affected the text

of 40 CFR 144 through 148. This action, together with a brief description,

is as follows:

65 Fed. Reg. 67068

(November 8, 2000)

USEPA adopted hazardous waste listings and

land disposal restrictions (LDRs) for chlorinated

aliphatics production wastes. Included were

amendments to the federal RCRA Subtitle C

hazardous waste rules and the federal UIC rules.

The Board has not determined the nature of any amendments that might be

required by the above federal action. The Board must determine what

amendments, if any, will be necessary in response to the federal

amendments. Further, the Board has not yet determined whether this

listed federal action is the only federal action that affect the text of 40 CFR

144 through 148. The Board will verify the existence of any additional

federal actions and the Board action required in response to each set of

federal amendments in coming weeks, by about mid-February 2001. The

Board will then propose corresponding amendments to the Illinois UIC

regulations using the identical-in-substance procedure or dismiss docket

R01-21, as necessary and appropriate.

Section 13(c) mandates that the Board complete our amendments within

one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which our

amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that the

earliest USEPA action during the update period that will require Board

action is

November 8, 2000

, the due date for Board adoption of all

amendments in the period would be

November 8, 2001

B) Statutory authority:

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 13(c) and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 13(c) & 27].

ILLINOIS REGISTER

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

None scheduled at this time. When the Board determines to propose

amendments, the Board will vote to do so at an open meeting. No public

hearing is required in identical-in-substance proceedings.

D) Date agency anticipates First Notice:

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-February 2001, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois UIC

rules that are necessary in response to the federal amendments that have

occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of amendments in this docket

is assumed to be

November 8, 2001

, the Board will vote to propose

amendments and cause a Notice of Proposed Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

by early-August 2001. This would be sufficiently in

advance of the due date to allow the Board to accept public comments on

the proposal for 45 days before acting to adopt any amendments.

E) Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

corporations:

This rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality, or not-

for-profit corporation in Illinois to the extent the affected entity engages in

the underground injection of waste.

Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C regulations to reflect the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) amendments to the federal

RCRA Subtitle C regulations.

The Board has reserved docket number R01-23 to accommodate any

amendments to the federal RCRA Subtitle C program, 40 CFR 260

through 270, 273, and 279, that USEPA made in the period July 1, 2000,

through December 31, 2000. At this time, the Board is aware of the

following federal actions that occurred in this time-frame:

65 Fed. Reg. 42292

(July 10, 2000)

USEPA adopted technical corrections to its

September 30, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg. 52828)

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants (NESHAPs) applicable to hazardous

waste combustors and its June 19, 1998 (63 Fed.

Reg. 33783) hazardous waste combustor rule.

Included were corrections to the hazardous waste

regulations segments of the rule.

65 Fed. Reg. 67068

(November 8, 2000)

USEPA adopted hazardous waste listings and

land disposal restrictions (LDRs) for chlorinated

aliphatics production wastes. Included were

amendments to the federal RCRA Subtitle C

hazardous waste rules and the federal UIC rules.

The Board has not yet verified which if any of these listed federal actions

will actually require amendments to the Illinois RCRA Subtitle C

hazardous waste regulations. The Board has not yet determined whether

this listing of federal actions is an exhaustive listing of all federal actions

that affect the text of 40 CFR 260 through 270, 273, and 279. The Board

will verify the existence of any additional federal actions and the Board

action required in response to each set of federal amendments in coming

weeks, by about mid-February 2001. The Board will propose

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

A) Description:

Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/22.4(d)]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois underground storage tank

(UST) regulations to reflect amendments to the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) UST regulations. The

mandate specifically excludes federal amendments relating to the design,

construction, installation, general operation, release detection, release

reporting, release investigation, release confirmation, out-of-service

systems, and closure or financial responsibilities for USTs.

The Board has reserved docket number R01-24 to accommodate any

amendments to the 40 CFR 281 through 283 that USEPA may make in the

period July 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000. At this time, the Board

is not aware of any federal amendments. The Board will verify the

existence of any federal actions and the Board action required in response

to each in coming weeks, by about mid-February 2001. The Board will

then propose corresponding amendments to the Illinois UST regulations

using the identical-in-substance procedure or dismiss docket R01-24, as

necessary and appropriate.

Section 22.4(d) mandates that the Board complete our amendments within

one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which our

amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that

USEPA adopted an amendment that will require Board action on the first

day of the update period, on July 1, 2000, the due date for Board adoption

would be July 1, 2001.

B) Statutory authority:

1) Rulemaking: R01-27

A) Description:

Since Part 740 was adopted on June 5, 1997, the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency's (“Illinois EPA”) implementation of the rules has

given rise to the need for some additions, corrections, and clarifications to

the existing rules. The primary purpose of the amendments will be to

correct mistakes and omissions, clarify ambiguities, and insure

consistency across the regulations for the Site Remediation Program,

Leaking Underground Storage Tank (“LUST”) Program (35 Ill. Adm.

Code 732), and Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives

(“TACO”) (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742).

B) Statutory authority:

environmental remediation under the Site Remediation Program. In most

cases, participation in the Site Remediation Program is voluntary, the

exception being participation under Board or court orders arising out of

enforcement actions. For those who do choose to participate, the proposed

amendments are not expected to make substantial changes to the existing

program.

One group of small businesses that will be affected is laboratories

performing analyses of soil and water samples. The amendments will

propose the phase-in of a requirement that laboratories performing

analyses for sites in the Site Remediation Program must be accredited

under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 186.

1) Rulemaking: Presently reserved docket number R01-22

A) Description:

Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS

5/22.40(a)] mandates that the Board update the Illinois Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D municipal solid waste

landfill (MSWLF) regulations to reflect the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) amendments to the federal RCRA Subtitle D

MSWLF rules.

The Board has reserved docket number R01-22 to accommodate any

amendments to the RCRA Subtitle D regulations, 40 CFR 258, that

USEPA may make in the period July 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000.

At this time, the Board is not aware of any amendments to the federal

RCRA Subtitle D MSWLF regulations. The Board will verify the

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

existence of any federal actions and the Board action required in response

to each in coming weeks, by about mid-February 2001. The Board will

then propose corresponding amendments to the Illinois RCRA Subtitle D

MSWLF rules using the identical-in-substance procedure or dismiss

docket R01-22, as necessary and appropriate.

Section 22.40(a) mandates that the Board complete its amendments within

one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which the

amendments are based. In docket R01-22, if the earliest federal

amendments in the applicable period is assumed to have occurred on July

1, 2000, the nominal due date would be July 1, 2001.

B) Statutory authority:

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 22.40(a) and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 22.40(a) & 27].

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

No meetings or hearings are scheduled at this time. Once the proposal is

filed, the Board will conduct public hearings in accordance with

requirements established by Sections 27 and 28 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27

& 28].

D) Date agency anticipates First Notice:

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-February 2001, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois RCRA

Subtitle D MSWLF rules that are necessary in response to the federal

amendments that have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of

amendments in this docket is assumed to be July 1, 2001, the Board will

vote to propose amendments and cause a Notice of Proposed Amendments

to appear in the

Illinois Register

by late-March 2001. This would be

sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow the Board to accept public

comments on the proposal for 45 days before acting to adopt any

amendments.

Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS

5/22.40(a)] provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) shall not apply. Because this

rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of the APA, it is not subject to First

Notice or to Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules. Rather, the Board will cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

, and it will accept public

comments on the proposal for 45 days after the date of publication.

dd) Part(s) (Heading and Code Citation): General Provisions (35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 900);

Sound Emission Standards and Limitations for Property Line-Noise-Sources (35 Ill.

Adm. Code Part 901).

1) Rulemaking: No docket presently reserved.

A) Description:

35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 900 contains the general provisions to the Board’s

noise regulations. Section 900.103 sets forth the procedures to be used for

measuring sound. Under that Section the procedures used must be in

substantial conformity with certain standards of the American National

Standards Institute (“ANSI”). The ANSI standards referenced in Section

900.103, however, are now outdated. The proposed amendments will

update the references to current ANSI standards.

35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 901 contains the standards for allowable sound

levels from property line noise sources. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901.104

contains limits for impulsive sound and requires sound to be measured

with “fast dynamic characteristic” and is therefore inconsistent with 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 900.103(b), which requires sound to be measured as “leq”.

Section 901.104 will be amended to comply with the requirements of

Section 900.103(b).

B) Statutory authority:

Implementing Section 25 and authorized by Section 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/25 and 5/27).

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

No meetings or hearings are scheduled at this time. Once the proposal is

filed, the Board will conduct hearings as required by Sections 27 and 28 of

the Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 5/28), possibly in Spring or Summer of 2001.

D) Date Agency anticipates First Notice, if known:

A Spring or Summer 2001 IEPA submittal of the proposal to the Board is

expected, after which the Board will cause publication of a Notice of

Proposed Amendments in the

Illinois Register

E) Effect on small businesses, small municipalities or not-for-profit

corporations:

The rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality or not-

for-profit corporation subject to the Board’s noise regulations.

The IEPA plans to repeal 35 Ill. Adm. Code Parts 951 and 952. Those

Parts set forth measurement procedures adopted pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm.

Code 900.103, and are therefore based upon outdated ANSI standards.

DESIGN AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES (35 Ill. Adm. Code 1422)

ILLINOIS REGISTER

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

JANUARY 2001 REGULATORY AGENDA

1) Rulemaking: No docket presently reserved.

A) Description:

35 Ill. Adm. Code Subtitle M, Parts 1420, 1421, and 1422, are the rules for

Potentially Infectious Medical Waste (PIMW). Through administration of

these rules, the IEPA has identified a need for the disposal outside of the

municipal waste stream of household medical waste, including sharps,

generated from home health care. One approach under consideration is to

exempt from the transfer station permit requirement doctors’ offices,

hospitals and pharmacies that accept household-generated medical wastes

for transfer to disposal facilities. The permit requirement may be replaced

with a requirement for registration with the IEPA. Certain other

provisions are in need of clarification. However, it is not clear at this time

whether each of the three Parts will need to be amended.

B) Statutory Authority:

Sections 27 and 56.2(f) of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27, 56.2(f)].

C) Scheduled Meeting/Hearing Dates:

The IEPA presently anticipates that it will file a rulemaking proposal in

Spring or Summer 2001. No meetings or hearings are scheduled at this

time. Once the proposal is filed, the Board will conduct public hearings in

accordance with the requirements established by Sections 27 and 28 of the

Act. [415 ILCS 5/27, 28].

D) Date Agency Anticipates First Notice:

An IEPA submittal of a proposal to the Board will commence this

proceeding and is expected to be filed in Spring or Summer 2001, after

which time the Board will cause a Notice of Proposed Rules to appear in

the

Illinois

E) Effect on Small Business, Small Municipalities, or Not-for-Profit

Corporations:

This rule may affect any small business, small municipality, or not-for-

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

profit corporations that disposes PIMW. The IEPA anticipates that the

changes contemplated would not have a significant effect. Exempting

medical providers from the transfer station permit requirement if they

accept household-generated waste for transfer to disposal facilities would

assist such providers in performing a community service by reducing the

associated regulatory burden. The clarifications being considered would

not substantively change the existing requirements.
