    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    By today’s action the Board adopts regulations implementing
    the small-source permit provision of the State’s air pollution
    permit program. The small—source permit provision is at Section
    39(a) of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/1
    et
    seq.~
    (Act) as added by P.A. 87_l2131, effective September
    26, 1992, and amended by P.A. 88—464, effective August 20, 1993.
    The provision is as follows:
    After January 1, 1994, operating permits issued under
    this Section by the Agency for sources of air pollution
    permitted to emit less than 25 tons per year of any
    combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in
    Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be required to be
    renewed only upon written request by the Agency
    consistent with applicable provisions of this Act and
    regulations promulgated hereunder. Such operating
    permits shall expire 180 days after the date of such a
    request. The Board shall revise its regulations for
    the existing State air pollution operating permit
    program consistent with this provision by January 1,
    1994.
    The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
    Act, wherein the Board is charged to “determine, define and
    implement the environmental control standards applicable in the
    State of Illinois”2. More generally, the Board’s rulemaking
    charge is based on the system of checks and balances integral to
    Illinois environmental governance: the Board bears responsibility
    for the rulemaking and principal adjudicatory functions, whereas
    the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) is
    1
    P.A. 87-1213, in addition to establishing the small—source
    provision, also established the operating permit program for
    major sources found at Section 39.5 of the Act and required by

    responsible for carrying out the principal administrative duties.
    The latter’s duties include administering any regulation that may
    result from today’s action.
    PROCEDURAL HISTORY
    This matter originated before the Board on April 2, 1993
    upon filing by the Agency of a proposal for rulemaking.
    Beginning in October 1992 and prior to filing its proposal
    with the Board, the Agency conducted outreach sessions with
    persons potentially affected by the proposed rules. Response
    from these sessions was used by the Agency to help frame the
    proposal before the proposal was submitted to the Board.
    (Statement of Reasons at p. 5-6).
    Hearings were held May 25, 1993 in Chicago and May 26, 1993
    in DeKaib before hearing officer Michelle Dresdow. Participants
    at the Chicago hearing in addition to the Agency included
    Maribeth Flowers of the City of Chicago, Raymond Bodnar of the
    Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, Victor A. Denslow of Chemical
    Regulations Services, and Mary Ross of the Sierra Club.
    Post-hearing public comments were filed by the City of
    Chicago and the Agency. The City of Chicago expressed it support
    for the proposal. The Agency recommended minor amendments to its
    original proposal. There was also need in the post—hearing
    period to allow a companion Board rulemaking in which Part 211
    was undergoing extensive modification to proceed to the point
    where today’s Part 211 amendment could be framed in context.
    By order of July 22, 1993 the Board adopted the Agency’s
    amended proposal for first notice. Publication occurred at 17
    Ill. Reg. 13358, August 13, 1993.
    Three public comments were received during the post—first
    notice comment period. The Illinois Department of Commerce and
    Community Affairs (DCCA) noted that the amendments will impact
    small businesses and deferred to the findings from the record
    before the Board. (PC #3.) The Administrative Code Division of
    the Office of the Secretary of State identified certain changes
    needed to bring the form of the amendments into acceptable style.
    (PC #4.) The Pennzoil Company expressed support for the
    amendments. (PC #5.)
    On October 7, 1993 the Board adopted and submitted to the
    Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) a second notice
    proposal that was substantively unchanged from the first notice
    proposal. On November 16, 1993 JCAR issued a certificate of no
    objection to the proposed amendments.

    OVERVIEW
    The purpose of today’s action is to implement the regulatory
    portion of the State’s new small—source air permit program. The
    program provides that a source that emits less than 25 tons per
    year of regulated air contaminants will no longer be subject to
    an automatic five—year renewal cycle for its operating permit.
    Rather, such permits may be of unlimited duration, subject only
    to review upon cause.
    The major portion of today’s provisions implementing the
    small—source air permit program are located at Subpart E3 of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 201. For purpose of discussion, these provisions
    are accordingly in short-form today identified as the “Subpart E
    provisions”.
    The Agency estimates that approximately 6000 air emission
    sources are eligible under the Subpart E provisions. (Tr. at
    51.) All of these currently hold permits for which renewal must
    be made on no less than a five-year cycle. (Tr. at 52.) This
    automatic renewal process constitutes a time, expense, and
    paperwork burden for both the affected sources and the Agency.
    Elimination of the automatic need for renewal will therefore
    provide an economy for all concerned.
    The economy generated by the Subpart E provisions will not
    be offset by a crucial loss of oversight. All other existing
    rules that pertain to operating permits other than the duration
    and renewal provisions will continue to apply to all small
    sources4 among such continuing provisions are annual reporting
    requirements. Additionally, all requirements for construction
    permits will remain in place5. Moreover, the statute and Subpart
    E provide that the Agency can require an affected source to seek
    renewal of its operating permit, and exercise oversight thereby.
    ~ Subpart E previously had been held in reserve for
    provisions dealing with conditions attached to permits. There is
    no longer any need seen for holding the subpart in reserve, and
    accordingly its use is proposed to be given over to today’s new
    rules.
    ~ See proposed Section 201.180(d).
    ~ See proposed Section 201.180(c). Note also that a
    corollary to the obligation to obtain a construction permit is
    the obligation to obtain a revised operating permit that covers
    the new equipment (see proposed Section 201.187).

    DISCUSSION
    25—ton Limit
    These rules, by statute, apply to sources where the amount
    of emissions the source is permitted to emit is less than twenty-
    five (25) tons per year (TPY) of regulated air pollutants.
    Historically in the Illinois air permitting process the
    emissions that a source is “permitted to emit” is the amount of
    emissions that a source is authorized to emit as specified by a
    permit, including any allowance for excess emissions during
    startup, but not including excess emissions during malfunction or
    breakdown.
    If the permit for the source does not contain an emission
    limit, then the source’s permitted emissions are considered to be
    its potential to emit. The Board notes that a definition of
    “potential to emit” exists in federal air regulations, and that
    this same definition has been proposed for inclusion in Illinois’
    air regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.4970. The Board sent
    this proposed definition to second notice on November 18,
    19936;
    adoption is anticipated in early 1994.
    If a source does not wish to be constrained to the 25 TPY
    limit, it would remain eligible for the standard air operating
    permit with a maximum term of five years.
    Regulated Air Pollutant
    The term “regulated air pollutant” is defined at Section
    39.5 of the Act. The Agency observes that, as a practical
    matter, a regulated air pollutant is one of the “five historic
    criteria air contaminants, i.e., particulate matter, sulfur
    dioxide, nitrogen oxide, volatile organic material/organic
    material and carbon monoxide” (Exh. 1 at 8). The Agency further
    observes that:
    The current definition of regulated air pollutant
    under Section 39.5 of the Act was intended to apply to
    sources required to obtain permits under Title V of the
    Clean Air Act and includes air pollutants for which the
    Board has no emission standards. It would be
    inappropriate to include in a calculation of
    eligibility for a Smaller Source Permit emissions from
    ~ir pollutants for which the State has no emission
    standards. Therefore, the definition of regulated air

    211 and 218), Board Docket R93—14.

    —5—
    pollutant for purposes of the Smaller Source rules
    should include the same pollutants as are presently
    included under the State program. (PC #2 at ¶4.)
    Today’s regulation adds the definition for “regulated air
    pollutant” at new Section 211.5500.
    CAAPP Exception
    Neither the Section 39 statutory small—source provision nor
    today’s implementation of the Subpart E provisions apply to a
    source that is required to obtain a Clean Air Act Permit Program
    (CAAPP) permit under Section 39.5 of the Act7. An example would
    be a source that, although it emits less than 25 TPY total, emits
    more than 10 TPY of a hazardous air pollutant and is thereby a
    “major source” pursuant to Section 39.5.
    Permit Termination
    The statute and Subpart E provide that the Agency may cause
    a Subpart E permit to terminate by exercising its authority to
    have the permittee submit a renewal application. A permit for
    which renewal has been requested by the Agency expires 180 days
    after the Agency sends its renewal notic&. If the permittee in
    turn submits a renewal application at least 90 days prior to
    expiration, Section 9.1(f) of the Act provides that the terms and
    conditions of the old permit remain in effect until the final
    administrative action on the application has been taken,
    including any appeals to this Board.
    A Subpart E permit also terminates if it is withdrawn upon
    written request by the permittee or is superseded by a revised
    permit issued for the source9.
    Grounds for Agency Request of Renewal
    Although Section 39 clearly gives the Agency broad authority
    to request permit renewal, that authority is explicitly limited
    to be “consistent with applicable provisions of this Act and
    regulations promulgated” thereunder. As the Agency itself
    observes, it “cannot arbitrarily request that a smaller source
    operating permit be renewed” (Statement of Reasons at p. 3).
    At the Agency’s request, the Board today maintains in the
    rules three examples of conditions under which a renewal request
    See proposed Section 201.180(a) (2)
    Section 39 of the Act and proposed 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    201.181(a).
    ‘~
    Ibid.

    —6—
    explicitly may be made. These are a change in law applicable to
    the source, inaccuracy in the information upon which the permit
    was granted, and information that the source may not be in
    compliance with the Act, Board regulations, or an existing permit
    condition’°.
    In other respects the renewal procedures for Subpart E
    sources will continue to be governed by the existing rules for
    air permit processing, including the permit application and
    review process rules found at Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201
    and the revocation and revisions rules found at Subpart F of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 201.
    Appeal Rights
    Today’s rules are intended to comport with the standard
    provisions regarding appeal of permit decisions that are
    articulated at Section 40 of the Act. Among the central
    provisions found there is the statement at 40(a) (1) that:
    If the Agency refuses to grant or grants with
    conditions a permit under Section 39 of this Act, the
    applicant may, within 35 days, petition for hearing
    before the Board to contest the decision of the Agency.
    In general the Board will entertain review of an Agency action
    only when that action is a final action, complete as regards
    Agency decision in all respects except for consequences that flow
    from exercise of appeal rights. In the instant context, an
    appeal to the Board will not be ripe until the Agency has taken
    final action by (a) denying a permit outright, (b) denying a
    permit based on a determination of insufficiency of information
    in the application or failure of the applicant to supplement the
    application as requested by the Agency’1, or (c) issuing a permit
    with conditions’2.
    An Agency notice that renewal is required is by itself not a
    final Agency action, and will not be entertained by the Board as
    a basis for appeal until the Agency has taken one of the final
    actions listed above.
    Permittee’s Obligation to Obtain a Revised Permit
    Today’s rules impose an affirmative obligation upon a
    permittee to obtain a new or revised permit if operations change
    ‘~
    See proposed Section 201.181(b).
    ~‘ See proposed Section 201.181(c).
    12 See proposed Section 201.181(d).

    —7—
    at the source’3. This obligation must be discharged prior to the
    occurrence of the changes. Events considered to be “changes” in
    this context are:
    1) An increase in emissions above the amount the
    source is permitted to emit; or
    2) A modification; or
    3) A change in operations which will result in the
    source’s noncompliance with a condition in the
    existing permit; or
    4) A change in ownership, company name, or address,
    so that the application or existing permit is no
    longer accurate.
    The term “modification” listed above is a term—of—art used in the
    State’s air program relating to alteration in the nature of air
    emissions; “modification” is defined at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    201.102.
    If a person fails to apply for a new permit where a change
    requires obtaining a revised permit, the source and the permittee
    remain subject to the conditions of the existing Subpart E
    permit. However, the permittee is in violation of the obligation
    to have a new or revised permit and thereby open to an
    enforcement action.

    The Board directs the Clerk of the Board to submit the text
    of the following amendments to the Secretary of State for final

    Joint Construction and Operating Permits
    In cases where the Agency determines that an emission source or
    air pollution control equipment is sufficiently standard so as to
    obviate the need for separate construction and operating permits,
    the Agency may issue a joint construction and operating permit.
    The Agency may adopt procedures which: set forth the
    circumstances under which joint construction and operating
    permits may be issued; require data and information designed to
    determine compliance with this Chapter, and ambient air quality
    standards; and which set forth the format by which all data and
    information shall be submitted. The standards for issuance of
    joint construction and operating permits shall be as set forth in
    Sections 201.155 and 201.160. Except as herein provided, nothing
    in this Chapter shall be deemed to limit the power of the Agency
    in this regard. No joint construction and operating permit shall
    be valid for longer than five years or such shorter period as the
    Agency may specify the joint construction and operating permit as
    necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Chapter unless the
    source is subject to Subpart E of this Part. Applications for
    renewal of a permit shall be submitted to the Agency at least 90
    days prior to the expiration of the prior permit, and shall
