OPINION
AND
ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by E.
Dunham):
Pursuant to Section 502(d)
of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
as
amended in 1990
(42 U.S.C.
§7661a(d)), Illinois is to submit to
the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S.
EPA),
no
later than November 15, 1993,
a permit program that meets the
requirements of Title V of
CAA
and the federal regulations
promulgated thereunder
(40 CFR 70).
Illinois adopted Section
39.5 of the Enviromuental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/39.5
(1992))
to implement the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) which meets
the federal requirements.
Pursuant to Section
39.5(5) (w), the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
is required to
propose regulations to the Board defining insignificant
activities or emission levels no later than March 16,
1994.
These regulations must be consistent with the federal
regulations, if any, and Section 112(n) (1)
of the CAA.
Because
of ongoing negotiations, the Agency submitted this proposal after
the deadline.
The Board is required to adopt final regulations
within nine months of the filing of the Agency’s proposal.
(415
ILCS 5/39.5(5)(w)
(1992).)
On May 12, 1994,
the Agency filed this proposal for
rule
making pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Environmental Protection
Act
(Act).
(415 ILCS 5/28.5
(1992).)
Pursuant to the provisions
of that section the Board is required to proceed within the set
timeframes toward the adoption of the regulation.
The Board has
no discretion to adjust these time frames under any
circumstances.
Today the Board acts to adopt this rule as final
and send the amendments to the Administrative Code Division of
the Secretary of State’s office for publication and assignment of
an effective date pursuant to the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act
(APA).
(5 ILCS 100/1005—40
(1992).)
The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
Environmental Protection Act.
(415 ILCS 5/1 et
seq.
(1992).)
The
Board is charged therein to “determine, define, and implement the
environmental control standards applicable in the state of
Illinois.”
(415 ILCS 5/5(b)
(1992)
.)
More generally, the Board’s
rulemaking charge is based on the system of checks and balances
integral to the Illinois environmental governance:
the Board
bears responsibility for the rulemaking and principal
adjudicatory functions;
the Agency has primary responsibility for
2
administration of the Act and the Board’s regulations.
The
latter includes administering today’s new regulation.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The Board sent this proposal to first notice under the APA
on May 19,
1994, without commenting on the merits of the
proposal.
The proposed rule was published in the Illinois
Register on June 3,
1994, at 18 Ill. Reg. 8331 (Part 211) and 18
Ill. Reg. 8347
(Part 201).
A hearing was held on June 28,
1994,
in Chicago, Illinois before hearing officer Diane O’Neill.
Previously—scheduled second and third hearings were cancelled
pursuant to Section 28.5(g)
of the Act because a request for a
second hearing was not received by the Board.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5(g)
(1992).)
Pursuant to Section 28.5(1), the comment period closed
on July 21,
1994.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5(1)
(1992).)
On August 11,
1994, the Board sent the proposed amendments to the Joint
Committee on Administrative Rules
(JCAR)
for review as required
by the APA.
On September 13,
1994, JCAR voted a certificate of
no objection to the rule.
JCAR recommended minor grammatical
corrections which the Board incorporates into the rules.
DISCUSSION
This proposal affects all sources subject to the CAAPP
pursuant to Section 39.5 of the Act, which includes any “major
source” as defined in Section 39.5(2) (c) or Section 112 of the
CAA,
excluding a source required to have a permit solely because
it is subject to Section 112(r) of the CAA, and any affected
source subject to Title IV of the CAA.
This rulemaking amends Parts 201 and 211 to define
insignificant sources or emission levels.
Emission information
from insignificant activities or emissions may be submitted as a
list within the CAAPP application.
(415 ILCS 5/39.5(5) (2)
(1992).)
Part 201 contains the general permitting regulations for
sources of air pollution.
The Agency proposes to amend Part 201
to establish a separate Subpart F to apply only to CAAPP sources.
Amendments to Part 211 are proposed to provide definitions
for terms used in the accompanying proposed amendments
in Part
201.
Definitions for the following terms are proposed:
“emergency or standby unit,” “organic solvent,” “rated heat
capacity,” “stationary gas turbine,” and “stationary
reciprocating internal combustion engine.”
Newly used
abbreviations and conversion factors are also proposed to amend
Section 211.102.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
The Board received
8 public comments in this matter.
Comments were received from the Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs
(DCCA)
(PC# 1), the Administrative Code
Division (Code Division)
(PC# 2), Browning-Ferris Industries
(BFI)
(PC# 3), Society of Plastic Industries Inc.
(SPI)
(PC #4)
Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group
(ERG)
(PC# 5), American
Automobile Manufacturers Association
(AAHA)
(PC#
6) and the
Agency
(PC# 7,
8 and 9).
The Board has considered all public comments, as well as all
testimony and exhibits,
in making its decisions in this matter.
In general, there is no disagreement on
the
part of the
participants and cominenters on the substance of the proposal.
The Board adopted some changes recommended in the comments.
A
discussion of the public comments is contained in the Board’s
second notice opinion and order of August 11,
1994.
CONCLUSION
The Board finds that the proposed rules are technically
feasible and economically reasonable, and that the rules are
necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
We find
that the record supports adopting the rules as amended in the
Board’s August 11,
1994 second notice opinion and order.
ORDER
The Board hereby adopts the following amendments to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 201 and 211.
The Board directs the Clerk to submit the
following adopted amendments to the Administrative Code Division
of the Secretary of State.1

Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants
~j
For the purposes of establishing whether an emission
unit qualifies as an insignificant activity and

application, an applicant may presume that an emission
unit does not emit an air pollutant listed as hazardous
pursuant to Section 112(b)
of the Clean Air Act if:

Raw material, other than fuel,
for the emission
unit contains a concentration by weight of such
pollutant that is equal to or less than the
following:

~çj
0.1 percent by weight for pollutants other

Section 201.211
Application for Classification as an
Insignificant Activity
~j
An owner or oPerator of
a CAAPP source may propose to
the Agency in its CAAPP application that an emission
unit at the source be treated as an insignificant
activity consistent with Section 201.210 of this Part.
provided the emission unit meets the following criteria
and the owner or operator provides the information
required in subsection
(b) below regarding the emission
unit:
fl
The emission unit would not emit more than 1.0
lb/hr of anY reaulated air pollutant not listed as
hazardous pursuant to Section 112(b)
of the Clean
Air Act in the absence of air pollution control
equipment

The environmental impact of such emission unit
and
~j
The ~otential benefits to the environment if the
emission unit were not treated as an insignificant
activity.
~J
Unless the Agency notifies the a~p1icantin writing
that the emission unit cannot be treated as an
insignificant activity following the Agency’s
determination in subsection
(c)
above, the emission
unit shall be deemed an insignificant activity for
purposes
of
Section
201.210(a)
of
this
Part.
If

A~encv shall
notify
the
owner
or
operator
in writing and request that such owner or operator
submit the information required in a
CAAPP
application
