    SECOND NOTICE.
    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by R.C. Flemal):
    On August
    28, 1986,
    the Board proposed for first notice
    publication amendments
    to certain portions of 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code
    211 and 215.
    The proposed amendments were published at 10 Ill.
    Reg.
    15480,
    September 26,
    1986.
    The statutory 45—day comment
    period
    ended on November
    10,
    1986.
    This matter was initiated by a September
    23,
    1985, proposal
    of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”).
    The
    Agency subsequently amended
    its proposal on December
    12,
    1985,
    and March
    5,
    1986.
    The Agency’s proposal was occasioned by the
    proposed disapproval
    of the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency of some of the regulations adopted by the Board
    on December
    30,
    1982,
    in the RACT II proceeding
    (R80—5).
    The
    Agency believes that the amendments as offered
    in its proposal
    would satisfy the objections raised by USEPA.
    Hearings were held on December 12 and 13, 1985,
    in
    Springfield, Illinois, and
    on March
    6
    and 7,
    1986,
    in Chicago,
    Illinois.
    On June 17, 1986, the Department.of Energy and Natural
    Resources determined that an economic
    impact study (“EcIS”) would
    be prepared
    for only one of the sections contained in the Agency
    proposal, that being 35 Ill. Adm. Code 215.245.
    The Economic and
    Technical Advisory Committee concurred
    in the Department’s
    determination
    on
    June
    20,
    1986.
    Consequently,
    in
    order
    to
    proceed
    to
    decision
    on
    all
    but
    Section
    215.245
    the
    Board
    split
    R85—2l into two dockets, A and
    B.
    Docket
    A,
    the subject of this
    Opinion and Order, deals with all portions of the Agency proposal
    other than Section 215.245.
    Docket
    B,
    in addition to being
    the
    docket
    in which Section 215.245 will be considered, will of
    course be
    the docket
    in which economic
    impact hearings will
    be
    held once the EcIS pertaining
    to Section 215.245
    is prepared.
    The Board
    received six Public Comments
    (“PC”) during
    the
    first notice comment period.
    These
    are:
    PC *16 filed October
    24,
    1986,
    by the Agency; PC #17 filed October
    31,
    1986,
    by the
    Illinois Petroleum Marketers Association;
    PC *18
    filed November
    6,
    1986,
    by Continental Pipe Line Company; PC *19 filed November
    10, 1986, by Outboard Marine Corporation (“OMC”);
    PC
    #20 filed
    November
    10,
    1986,
    by the Illinois Environmental Regulatory
    74-134

    —2—
    Group; and
    PC #21
    filed November
    10,
    1986, by Unocal Corporation;
    and PC #22 filed November 17,
    1986, by the Illinois Petroleum
    Council.
    Based upon the
    record
    in
    this matter,
    as supplemented by the
    Public Comments noted
    above, the Board has determined that
    it
    will propose
    for second notice
    a slightly modified version
    (as
    described below) of the amendments proposed
    in its August
    28,
    1986,
    Opinion and Order.
    A detailed discussion of the history of the RACT II
    proceeding
    and the rationale supporting
    the amendments proposed
    by the
    Board
    is contained
    in
    the Board’s August
    28,
    1986, Opinion
    and therefore will not be repeated here.
    MODIFICATION TO THE BOARD’S
    FIRST NOTICE OPINION AND ORDER
    The November
    10,
    1986 comment of OMC notes that the language
    of proposed Section 215.206(b)
    can be interpreted
    to limit the
    overall VOM emissions from OMC’s Waukegan,
    Illinois, facilities
    to 35 tons per year.
    OMC states that
    it believes the 35 ton per
    year limitation should pertain solely to these
    facilities’ VOM
    emissions which are related
    to the coating of miscellaneous metal
    parts, rather than to all VOM emissions
    from the
    site.
    OMC
    proposes
    a rewording of Section 215.206(b)
    which
    it asserts would
    clarify the Board’s intent
    in proposing the section.
    The Board’s
    intent
    in proposing Section 215.206(b) was
    in
    fact
    to limit the VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal part
    coating operations at
    the Waukegan facilities
    to 35
    tons per
    year.
    To clarify this intent,
    the Board will modify Section
    215.206(b)
    as proposed by OMC.
    CONCLUSION
    The Board concludes that none of the other comments
    submitted during the
    first notice period warrant further changes
    to the rules today proposed for second notice.
    The Board
    believes that the
    proposed
    rules
    are
    more
    than
    adequately
    supported by the weight of the record compiled
    in this
    proceeding.
    Moreover, the Board reaffirms that the proposed
    rules
    are technically feasible and economically reasonable.
    ORDER
    The Board directs that second notice of the following
    proposed rules be submitted to the Joint Committee
    on
