    AMENDMENTS TO 35 ILL.
    ADM. CODE
    )
    R88-28
    211 AND 243, AIR QUALITY STANDARDS
    AND
    MEASUREMENT METHODS FOR PM10
    )
    PROPOSED RULE.
    FIRST NOTICE.
    PROPOSED OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.D. Dumelle):
    This matter comes before the Board upon
    a regulatory
    proposal
    filed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency) on October
    20,
    1988.
    The Agency proposes amendments
    to
    35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code 211 and 243
    in order
    to adopt
    a PM10 ambient
    air quality standard
    for particulate matter.
    The Board adopts
    the Agency’s proposal
    for First Notice today
    to cause publication
    of
    the proposal
    in the Illinois Register so that affected persons
    are made aware of the proposal.
    As public hearings are yet to be
    held,
    the Board will not at this time take a position on the
    merits of
    the Agency’s proposal.
    For
    its “statement of reasons”
    to support
    the proposal,
    the
    Agency stated:
    Sections
    108
    and
    109
    of
    the
    Clean
    air
    Act
    authorize
    the
    United
    States
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    (“USEPA”)
    to
    review
    and
    revise
    the
    health
    and
    welfare
    criteria
    upon
    which
    the
    national
    primary
    and
    secondary
    ambient
    air
    quality
    standards
    (“NAAQS”)
    are
    based.
    On
    July
    1,
    1987,
    USEPA~ promulgated
    revisions
    to the NAAQS
    for particulate matter
    (52 Fed.
    Reg.
    24634).
    The
    use
    of
    the
    “total
    suspended
    particulate
    matter”
    (“TSP”)
    indicator
    for particulate
    matter was
    replaced
    by
    an
    indicator
    that
    includes
    only
    those
    particles
    with
    an
    aerodynamic
    diameter
    less
    than
    or
    equal
    to
    10
    micrometers
    (“PM10”).
    A
    primary
    24-hour
    PM10
    standard
    of
    150
    micrograms
    per
    cubic
    meter
    (ug/rn3)
    with
    no
    more than one exceedance per year was adoptec~,
    as
    was
    an
    annual
    PM10
    standard
    of
    50
    ug/m
    ,
    expected
    annual
    aritimetic
    mean.
    Secondary
    standards
    identical
    to
    the
    primary
    standards
    in all respects were also adopted.
    The Agency
    has,
    therefore,
    proposed
    that
    these
    PM10standards
    be
    adopted
    as
    Illinois
    93—397
    —2--
    standards,
    suitable
    for
    utilization
    in
    the
    Illinois State Implementation Plan
    (“SIP).
    The Hearing Officer
    is directed
    to schedule hearings and
    to
    provide
    for pre—filing of testimony and exhibits so as
    to
    effectuate an efficient information gathering process.
    ORDER
    The Board hereby proposes for First Notice the following
    amendments
    to 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 211
    and 243.
    The Clerk
    is
    directed
    to submit the proposed amendments to
    the Secretary of
    State
    for publication
    in the Illinois Register.

    1)
    An
