USEPA REGULATIONS (JULY 1

)

THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1994)

Proposed rule.

Dismissal order.

ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):

Section 9.1(e) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act)

requires the Board to adopt regulations which are “identical in

substance” to exemptions from the definition of “volatile organic

material” those compounds that U.S. EPA has found to be exempted

from regulation under state implementation plans for ozone due to

negligible photochemical reactivity. U.S. EPA has codified these

exemptions as part of its definition at 40 CFR 51.100(s).

Accordingly, the Board reserved this docket for USEPA amendments

during the period from July 1 through December 31, 1993.

However, USEPA did not amend its definition or exemptions during

this period.

For the foregoing reason, the Board hereby dismisses this

proceeding.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, do hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the

~i/-~-~

day of _________________________, 1994, by a vote of

Control Board
