    RE:
    DCEO Response to Request for Determination on Economic Impact Study
    in
    Rulemaking Docket R04-20
    Dear Chairman Novak:
    Thank you very much for your February 17, 2004 letter requesting a determination as to whether
    the Department ofCommerce
    and Economic Opportunity (“Department”) intends to conduct an
    economic impact study ofthe proposed rules in the above-referenced docket.
    The Department has reviewed the proposed “clean-up” amendments to the volatile organic
    material
    (“VOM”) emission reduction rules
    (35
    Ill. Adm.
    Code Parts 211, 218 and 219).
    Based
    on this review, and in light ofcontinued fiscal constraints, the Department has decided not to
    conduct a study ofthe economic impact ofthe proposed amendments, pursuant to 415 ILCS
    5/27(b).
    Thank you for soliciting the Department’s input in this matter.
    Sincerely,
