OPINION

AND ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD (by R.

 C. Flemal):

On April 25,

 1994, the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (Agency) filed this proposal for rulemaking.

 Section

182(b) (1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990,

requires all moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas to

achieve a 15

 reduction of 1990 emissions of volatile organic

material

 (VON) by 1996.

 In Illinois,

the

Chicago and

the

Metro-

East St.

 Louis (Metro-East)

 areas are classified as “severe” and

“moderate” nonattainment for ozone, respectively, and as such are

 subject to the 15

 reduction requirement.

 Also pursuant to

Section 182(b) of the CAA, Illinois is to submit a 15

 Rate of

Progress Plan

 (ROP) within three years of the enactment of the

CAA

Amendments.

 This rulemaking represents Part I of the rules

proposed in the State’s 15

 ROP.

The proposal contains rules which would include the

installation of pressure/vacuum relief valves on storage tank

vent pipes at gasoline dispensing operations.

 Also,

 for the

Metro—East area a lowering of the Reid vapor pressure

 (RVP)

of

gasoline from 9.0 pounds per square inch

 (psi)

 to 7.2 psi is

proposed.

 An addition of a definition and a few other minor

changes necessary for the pressure/vacuum relief valves and RVP

rules are proposed.

This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the

Environmental Protection Act (Act).

 (415 ILCS 5/28.5

 (1992).)

That section requires the Board to proceed with rulemaking under

set time—frames.

 The Board has no discretion to adjust these

time frames under any circumstances.

 Today the Board acts to

send this proposal to first notice under the Illinois

Administrative Procedure Act, but without commenting on the

merits of the proposal.

The following schedule indicates the deadlines by which the

Board must act,

 as provided in Section 28.5:

first notice

 on or before May 9,

1994

first hearing

 on or before June 18,

1994

second hearing

 no later than 30 days after

the start of the first hearing

third hearing

 no later than 14 days after

the start of the second

hearing

second notice

(if third hearing cancelled)

 on or before September 2,

1994

(if third hearing held)

 on or before September 22,

1994

final adoption and filing

 21 days after receipt of

JCAR

certificate of no objection

The Board notes that the above dates are the deadlines as

established by Section 28.5 and do not represent actual hearing

dates or filing dates.

 While the schedule includes second and

third hearings, these hearings may be cancelled if they are

unnecessary.

 The Board will proceed in this matter as prescribed

in Section 28.5 and discussed in the Board’s resolution.

Clean Air Act Rulemakina Procedures Pursuant to Section 285 of

the Environmental Protection Act.

 as Added By P.A.

 87-1213,

(October 29,

 1992 and December 3,

 1992),

 RES 92—2.)

The Agency has filed a motion for waiver of requirements

with the proposal.

 The Agency requests waiver of the following

requirements:

 that the Agency submit the original and nine

copies of the entire regulatory proposal; that the Agency submit

 a copy of the proposal to the Attorney General and the Department

of Energy and Natural Resources

 (ENR); and that the Agency submit

copies of all documents upon which it relied.

 The Agency asks

that

 it be permitted to file an original plus five complete

copies of the proposal and four partial copies.

 A partial copy

includes the pleadings and the proposed rules, but does not

include the supporting exhibits.

 The Attorney General and ENR

have agreed with the Agency that a copy of the proposal need not

be served upon them.

 The Agency bad provided the Board with one

copy of the majority of the documents on which it relied, and

notes that the other documents are readily accessible or already

in the Board’s possession.

 The Board grants the Agency’s motion.

The Board directs the Clerk to cause publication of the

following amendments in the Illinois Register for first notice1:

b)

 The Reid vapor pressure of gasoline, a measure of its

volatility, shall not exceed

~-I4L2

psi

 (63.0749.68 kPa)

during the regulatory control period in 199O~and each year

thereafter.

c)

 The Reid vapor pressure of ethanol blend gasolines having at

least nine Dercent

(9)

 but not more than ten percent

 (10)

ethyl alcohol by volume of the blended mixture,

 shall not

exceed the limitations for gasoline set forth in subsection

(b) of this Section by more than 1.0 psi

 (6.9 kPa).

Notwithstanding this limitation, blenders of ethanol blend

gasolines whose Reid vapor pressure is less than 1.0 psi

above the base stock gasoline immediately after blending

with ethanol are prohibited from adding butane or any

product that will increase the Reid vapor pressure of the

blended gasoline.

d)

 All sampling of gasoline required pursuant to the provisions

of this Section shall be conducted by one -or marc of the

following approved mothoda or in accordance with the

procedures contained in 40 CFR 80. Ap~endixD. Sampling

Procedures for Fuel Volatility, which are incorporated by
