Proposed Rule. Proposal for Public Comment.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore):
This rulemaking is designed to update the definition of volatile organic material(VOM) in the Board’s air pollution regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.7150). The update is needed to ensure that Illinois’ regulations reflect the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) most recent exemption of chemical compounds from regulation as ozone precursors. Today the Board adopts a proposal for public comment.
Section 9.1(e) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2002)) mandates this rulemaking. That statutory provision requires the Board to exclude from the definition of VOM those compounds determined by USEPA to be exempt from regulation under the state implementation plans for ozone “due to negligible photochemical reactivity.” 415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2002). In addition, Section 9.1(e) of the Act requires the Board to conduct this rulemaking pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2002)) for adopting rules that are “identical in substance” to the federal requirements.
Section 9.1(e) also provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5-35 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 (2002)) do not apply to this type of rulemaking. Accordingly, the Board will not adopt a “First Notice” proposal, or a “Second Notice” proposal for review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. However, as provided in Section 9.1(e) of the Act, the Board, before adopting final rule amendments, will provide notice of this rulemaking proposal in the Illinois Register, hold one public hearing on the proposal as required by the federal Clean Air Act (33 U.S.C. § 7410(a) (2003)), and allow for public comment.
In this opinion, the Board first sets forth the timetable for completing this rulemaking, followed by a description of the USEPA actions necessitating these rule amendments. The Board then provides information on the hearing and public comment period for this proceeding. Next, the Board discusses miscellaneous “housekeeping” amendments also being proposed in this rulemaking. Finally, the Board summarizes the history of federal and Illinois actions dealing with VOM exemptions. The Board’s proposed rule amendments are set forth in the order following this opinion.
TIMETABLE FOR COMPLETING THIS RULEMAKING
Under Section 7.2(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2002)), the Board must complete this rulemaking within one year after the date of the earliest set of federal amendments considered in this docket. USEPA adopted such amendments on November 29, 2004. Therefore, the deadline for the Board to adopt these amendments is November 29, 2005.
The Board scheduled the adoption of this “proposal for public comment” for the March 3, 2005 Board meeting, which is well ahead of the date projected as necessary to timely complete this rulemaking. This will allow the Board to adopt final rules approximately six months before the one-year deadline. This scheduling will give the regulated community the earliest opportunity to use the newly-exempt compounds, and allow the State to take advantage as soon as possible of the emissions inventory and improved air quality benefits that may accrue through the new exemptions.
The Board projects the following timetable in completing this rulemaking:

DESCRIPTION OF USEPA ACTIONS AND RESPONSIVE BOARD AMENDMENTS
The amendments proposed today respond to two USEPA amendments to the federal definition of “volatile organic compound” (VOC), which is the same as VOM as used in the Illinois regulations. First, on November 29, 2004, USEPA added four compounds to the list of chemical species that are exempt from the federal definition of VOC and, accordingly, are exempt from regulation for control of ozone precursors. Second, also on November 29, 2004, USEPA excluded an additional compound from the VOC definition, for purposes of emissions limitations and VOC content requirements, but retained the compound as VOC for purposes of recordkeeping, emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling, and inventory requirements.
The Federal Register citations for these USEPA revisions, as well as brief listings of the newly-exempt compounds, follow:
69 Fed. Reg. 69290 (Nov. 29, 2004)
USEPA added four compounds to the list of those excluded from the definition of VOC: 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-3-methoxypropane (empirical formula: n-C3F7COCH3, also called HFE-7000), 3-ethoxy1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-dodecafluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)hexane (also called HFE-7500, HFE-s702, T-7145, and L-15381), 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (also called HFC-227ea), and methyl formate (empirical formula: HCOOCH3).
69 Fed. Reg. 69298 (Nov. 29, 2004)
USEPA added one compound to the list of those excluded from the definition of VOC for purposes of emissions control and VOC content requirements: tert-butyl acetate (t-BAc). USEPA will continue to consider t-BAc to be VOC for purposes of recordkeeping, emissions reporting, photochemical dispersion modeling, and inventory requirements. t-BAc is used as a gasoline additive and solvent.
The Board today proposes to incorporate these federal amendments into the Illinois regulatory definition of VOM at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 211.7150, with only minor differences from the federal rule text. For example, the Board has capitalized each chemical name in the list of exempt compounds. The table below provides the Board’s proposed deviations from the federal text.

MISCELLANEOUS HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENTS
In addition to the proposed amendments related to USEPA’s actions, numerous “housekeeping” amendments are being proposed today. These proposed changes are not based on the federal amendments discussed above. Rather, these are corrections and clarifications needed in the Board’s existing rule text involved in this proposal. For example, the Board has alphabetized the listing of exempt compounds in Section 211.7150(a). The table below lists the Board’s proposed “housekeeping” amendments.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF THE FEDERAL RECOMMENDED POLICY ON THE CONTROL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN ILLINOIS
Beginning in 1977, USEPA’s Recommended Policy on the Control of Volatile Organic Compounds (Recommended Policy) exempt certain chemical compounds from the definition of VOC or VOM. 1 These compounds were exempt due to their negligible photochemical reactivity (i.e., their reduced capacity for partaking in the complex atmospheric chemical reactions that result in the formation in tropospheric ozone). Ultimately, in 1991, USEPA codified its Recommended Policy in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) in its definition of VOC.
Specifically, on July 8, 1977, USEPA established its Recommended Policy in the Federal Register at 42 Fed. Reg. 35314. At that time, USEPA stated that the following compounds should be exempt from regulation due to their negligible photochemical reactivity:
methane;
ethane;
methylene chloride (dichloromethane) 2 ;
1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform); and
trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113 or Freon 113).
USEPA clarified its policy on June 4, 1979, at 44 Fed. Reg. 32043, and May 16, 1980, at 45 Fed. Reg. 32424.
USEPA later amended its Recommended Policy by adding exempt compounds. On July 22, 1980, at 45 Fed. Reg. 48941, USEPA added five chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one fluorocarbon (FC) 3 :
trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11);
dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12);
chlorodifluoromethane (CFC-22);
trifluoromethane (FC-23);
dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114); and
chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115).
On January 18, 1989, at 54 Fed. Reg. 1987, USEPA added four hydrohalocarbon compounds (HFCs and HCFCs) to the list of those exempt:
dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123);
tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a);
dichlorofluoroethane (HCFC-141b); and
chlorodifluoroethane (HCFC-142b).
Finally, on March 18, 1991, at 52 Fed. Reg. 11418, USEPA revisited certain compounds earlier denied exemption and revised the Recommended Policy for the last time, to exclude five additional hydrohalocarbon compounds and four classes of fluorocarbon compounds. The five hydrohalocarbon compounds were:
2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124);
pentafluoroethane (HFC-125);
1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134);
1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a); and
1,1-difluoroethane (HFC-152a).
The four classes of fluorocarbon compounds were:
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated alkanes; | |
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated ethers with no unsaturations; |
cyclic, branched, or linear, completely-fluorinated tertiary amines with no unsaturations; and
sulfur-containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations and with sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine.
On March 18, 1991, at 56 Fed. Reg. 11387, USEPA proposed codifying the Recommended Policy in its definition of VOC at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s). This proposed action was undertaken in conjunction with the last amendments to the Recommended Policy discussed above. USEPA adopted the amended definition of VOC on February 3, 1992, at 57 Fed. Reg. 3945. This USEPA codification included all the compounds and classes of compounds previously included as exempt in the Recommended Policy. It also included test methods for determining compliance with the VOC emissions limits, and a provision addressing situations where the test method also measured exempt compounds.
USEPA subsequently amended the 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) definition of VOM on a number of occasions. Those are summarized as follows:

HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF EXCLUSIONS FROM |
THE ILLINOIS DEFINITION OF VOM
Public Act 80-1299, effective August 2, 1978, added Section 9.1 to the Act. Subsection (e) of Section 9.1 (formerly subsection (c)) requires the Board to incorporate exemptions into the Illinois definition of VOM based on the federal exemptions. This provision required the Board to use the Section 7.2 identical-in-substance procedure (exempt from Section 27 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/27 (2002) and the notice provisions of the APA) to incorporate the federal exemptions into the Illinois definition of VOM. | |
The Board initially adopted the exemptions as part of Section 27 general rulemakings. In dockets R78-3 and R78-4 (consolidated), on August 23, 1979, as part of the original Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) rules, the Board adopted a definition of VOM that excluded methane and ethane, expressly declining to exempt methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and CFC-113. In docket R80-5, on December 30, 1982, as part of the RACT II rules, the Board added methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloroethane to the list of exempt compounds. Finally, in docket R86-37, on December 22, 1987, the Board added the other six CFC and one FC compounds that USEPA had excluded in its Recommended Policy up to that date. | |
After that time, the Board repeatedly used the identical-in-substance procedure to incorporate federal additions to the list of exempt compounds. In docket R89-8, on October 18, 1989, the Board amended the definition of VOM to exempt the additional compounds excluded by USEPA on January 18, 1989. In docket R91-10, on September 12, 1991, the Board added the one HCFC, four HFCs, and four classes of compounds exempt by USEPA on March 18, 1991. In docket R91-24, on July 30, 1992, the Board further updated the Illinois definition of VOM for purposes of the metropolitan Chicago and East St. Louis areas. 5 | |
Beginning in 1992, with USEPA’s codification of the compounds excluded from VOC, the Board had a way to readily determine the status of the list of exempt compounds: by referring to the “List of Sections Affected” in the Code of Federal Regulations. At that time, the Board started treating the updates to the definition of VOM in the same manner that the Board treats all other identical-in-substance subject matters. The Board began routinely reserving dockets for each succeeding six-month period and specifically monitoring for federal revisions. Accordingly, the Board has opened several dockets assigned to this subject matter, and the Board has dismissed dockets when USEPA did not amend its definition in the relevant time-frame. Before USEPA’s codification of excluded compounds, the Board relied on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the regulated community to specifically draw the Board’s attention to any amendments to USEPA’s Recommended Policy. The Board has consistently worked to ensure that the Illinois definition of VOM is the same as that used by USEPA, and that any federal revisions are promptly reflected in the Illinois definition. | |
What follows is a summary listing of all Board dockets related to exemptions from the definition of VOM. This table indicates the docket number of each proceeding, the date and nature of the Board action on each docket, and the general subject matter of each. Those entries that appear in italics amended the definition of VOM to exempt new compounds. | |
