ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

July 20, 2006

Proposed Rule. Proposal for Public Comment.

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):

The Board today proposes amendments to the Illinois regulations that are “identical in substance” to drinking water regulations adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The USEPA rules implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(a), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and 300j-4(a) (2002)).

This docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in the period July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The amendments incorporate into the Illinois regulations the federal Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR), which establishes minimum federal standards for the filing and acceptance of electronic documents.

Sections 7.2 and 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 17.5 (2004)) provide for quick adoption by the Board of regulations that are identical in substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal SDWA. Section 17.5 also provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2004)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations. The federal SDWA regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 141 through 143.

The Board will cause the proposed amendments to be published in the Illinois Register and will hold the docket open to receive public comments for 45 days after the date of publication. The Board will then adopt and file the final rules, taking into account the public comments received. The rules will be adopted and filed no later than October 13, 2006, assuming no complications arise to require Board extension of the deadline pursuant to Section 7.2(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2004)).

FEDERAL ACTIONS CONSIDERED IN THIS RULEMAKING

This docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in the period July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. USEPA adopted a single set of amendments during that period that affected the SDWA primary drinking water regulations. The following briefly summarizes that federal action that is considered in this rulemaking.

October 13, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 59848)

USEPA adopted new requirements for the filing and receipt of required documents as electronic documents. The filings included are all documents whose filing is provided by the primary drinking water regulations.

No Later SDWA (Drinking Water) Amendments of Interest

The Board engages in ongoing monitoring of federal actions. As of the date of this opinion and accompanying order, the Board has identified no related USEPA actions since December 31, 2005, that further amend the SDWA rules in a way that affects the present amendments. ¹

When the Board observes an action outside the nominal timeframe of a docket that requires expedited consideration, the Board will expedite consideration of those amendments in the pending docket. Federal actions that could warrant expedited consideration include those that directly affect the amendments involved in this docket, those for which compelling reasons would warrant consideration as soon as possible, and those for which the Board has received a request for expedited consideration.

If the Board identifies any federal action that fulfills these criteria prior to final action on the present amendments, the Board may include those amendments in the present docket R06-15 upon final adoption.

No Other Federal Actions Having a Direct Impact on the

Illinois SDWA (Drinking Water) Regulations

In addition to the amendments to the federal SDWA regulations, amendments to certain other federal regulations occasionally have an effect on the Illinois drinking water rules. Most notably, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.102 includes the incorporation of Appendices B and C of 40 C.F.R. 136 by reference. These are federal Clean Water Act methods for analysis of contaminants in water.

As of the date of this proposal for public comment, the Board has found no amendments to the pertinent segments of 40 C.F.R. 136 in the current update period. No Board action will be required at this time to update the version of 40 C.F.R. 136 incorporated by reference in to include the amendments.

TIMETABLE FOR COMPLETION OF THIS RULEMAKING

Under Section 7.2 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2004)), the Board must complete this rulemaking within one year of the date of the earliest set of federal amendments considered in this docket. USEPA adopted the earliest federal amendments that required Board attention on October 13, 2005, so that the deadline for Board adoption of these amendments is October 13, 2006. The Board scheduled adoption of this proposal for public comment for the Board meeting of July 20, 2006, to allow for timely adoption of the rule around October 5, 2006. This would have allowed filing of these amendments before the October 13, 2006 deadline.

Considering the proposal of these amendments on this date, the Board presently projects the following will occur in the progress towards completion of these amendments:

PUBLIC COMMENTS

The Board will receive public comments on this proposal for 45 days following its publication in the Illinois Register. After that time, the Board will immediately consider adoption of the amendments, making any necessary changes made evident through the public comments. The Board expects to file any adopted rules with the Secretary of State immediately after adoption, but no later than October 13, 2006.

DISCUSSION

The following discussion begins with a description of the amendments undertaken in direct response to the federal action involved in this proceeding. The discussion closes with a description of the miscellaneous amendments that are not directly derived from the federal action, but which the Board routinely includes in these update dockets as necessary.

Discussion of the Federal Action

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule--Section 611.105

The USEPA action of October 13, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 59848) established the CROMERR. The CROMERR sets standards for the filing of documents in various federal program areas in an electronic format. ² While the CROMERR does not require the filing of documents in an electronic format, it does impose minimum requirements on documents that are filed in such a format and on the electronic document receiving systems used to receive them. The CROMERR imposes requirements on electronic filings submitted to USEPA and on USEPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) that receives them, as well as on any electronic document filings submitted to the states and any systems used by the states to receive those filings. USEPA stated as follows in its introductory discussion of the CROMERR:

[US]EPA is establishing the framework by which it will accept electronic reports from regulated entities in satisfaction of certain document submission requirements in [US]EPA’s regulations. [US]EPA will provide public notice when [it] is ready to receive direct submissions of certain documents from regulated entities in electronic form consistent with this rulemaking via an [US]EPA electronic document receiving system. This rule does not mandate that regulated entities utilize electronic methods to submit documents in lieu of paper-based submissions. . . .

States . . . will be able to seek [US]EPA approval to accept electronic documents to satisfy reporting requirements under environmental programs that [US]EPA has delegated, authorized, or approved them to administer. This rule includes performance standards against which a state’s . . . electronic document receiving system will be evaluated before [US]EPA will approve changes to the delegated, authorized, or approved program to provide electronic reporting, and establishes a streamlined process that states, tribes, and local governments can use to seek and obtain such approvals. 70 Fed. Reg. 59848 (Oct. 13, 2005) (summary).

Only those filings and electronic document receiving systems approved in advance by USEPA qualify under the CROMERR. Any state system used to receive electronic documents must obtain USEPA approval before the state may use it, except that a state may continue to use an existing electronic document receiving system ³ until October 15, 2007, pending USEPA review and approval. USEPA is clear that any filing of documents in an electronic format is voluntary, and not compulsory, and the CROMERR creates no right or privilege to file any document in an electronic format. See 59 Fed. Reg. at 59853.

The Board does not review the substance and merits of the underlying federal action in an identical-in-substance proceeding, except to the extent that it may be necessary to do so in order to incorporate the federal provisions into the Illinois regulations. Persons interested in the details of the federal amendments should consult the October 13, 2005 Federal Register notice. The only aspects of the present amendments that warrant further discussion here relate to the general considerations of the Board in assembling a rule to insert into the Illinois SDWA primary drinking water regulations.

The CROMERR appears in a new part of the USEPA regulations, 40 C.F.R. 3. The structure of new 40 C.F.R. 3 includes three subparts: ⁴

The CROMERR is drafted in the “user-friendly” question-and-answer format recently favored by USEPA.

The object of the CROMERR is to provide for filing of documents in an electronic format and to assure that documents filed in such a format have the same probative effect as a signed paper document. USEPA stated, “[I]t is essential to ensure that electronic reports can play the same role as their paper counterparts in providing evidence of what was reported and to what identified individuals certified with respect to the report.” 59 Fed. Reg. at 59850. Thus, USEPA’s emphasis is on assuring the authenticity, dependability, and integrity of documents filed in an electronic format. To this end, USEPA the CROMERR imposes requirements on six aspects of any electronic document receiving system used by a state: (1) system security; (2) the electronic signature method; (3) registration of persons submitting electronic documents; (4) the signature and certification scenario; (5) the generation of a transaction record; and (6) system archives. See 59 Fed. Reg. at 59855. USEPA listed its bases for evaluation of a state electronic document receiving system as follows (see 59 Fed. Reg. at 59867-73):

The Board has incorporated the new federal CROMERR into a new provision at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.105 of the drinking water regulations. In drafting the identical-in-substance rules, the Board has taken a minimalist approach. Section 611.105(a) makes it clear that electronic filing is an option, and not a requirement. The rules state that notice of further USEPA action is necessary before the rules can be used for electronic filing. The rules repeat the federal applicability language making clear that the only filings covered by the rules are electronic transmittals, and not documents submitted by facsimile or magnetic or optical media, such as diskette, compact disc, digital videodisc, or tape. Document transfers between USEPA and the states under administrative arrangements are also excluded.

The Board has incorporated by reference other provisions, including the definitions of 40 C.F.R. 3.3 and the 40 C.F.R. 3.10 procedures for electronic filing directly with USEPA into its CDX. See Section 611.105(b) and (c) (incorporating 40 C.F.R. 3.3 and 3.10 by reference). The Board is unsure whether there are any Illinois entities currently filing documents directly with USEPA, but has included those provisions to avoid any confusion.

As to rules for filing documents with the Board or the Agency, the rules repeat at Section 611.105(d)(1) that it is entirely up to the Board or the Agency whether to set up procedures for electronic filing under the Sections. Federal 40 C.F.R. 3.10 sets forth the basic USEPA electronic document filing requirements: (1) the electronic document must be filed in a USEPA-approved electronic document receiving system; and (2) the electronic document must bear required electronic signatures. The rules provide at Section 611.105(d)(1) that any such procedures must meet the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 3.2 and 3.2000, as incorporated by reference, and must receive USEPA approval before they can be used. The Board has included a provision at Section 611.105(a)(4) that requires the Board or Agency to publish notice of USEPA approval of any such electronic filling rules in the Illinois Register. The Board has also included in the rule language identical in substance to federal provisions in Section 611.105(e) that make it clear that electronic filings will be treated in the same way as are properly signed paper filings.

The Board has added a brief statement as a preamble to Section 611.102. The statement provides that the filing of any document pursuant to any provision of the Part as an electronic document is subject to the Section. The intent is to immediately state the subject matter of the Section and subject electronic filings to its provisions.

In proposing these rules, the Board underscores that adoption of Section 611.105 or any procedures to implement the Section is not intended to limit authority the Board or Agency may have under the Act to accept electronic filings. For some time, the Board has been conducting a pilot program to develop sufficient information and experience to propose workable rules, and has reserved a procedural rule docket. Amendments to the Board’s Procedural Rules to Accommodate Electronic Filing: 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101-130, R04-8 (Aug. 21, 2003). ⁵ But, the Board presently has no projected date for issuance of a proposal, given the Board’s heavy rulemaking docket for calendar year 2006.

The Board requests public comment on the incorporation of the October 13, 2005 federal Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule.

General Revisions and Deviations from the Federal Text

In incorporating the federal rules into the Illinois system, some deviation from the federal text is unavoidable. This deviation arises primarily through differences between the federal and state regulatory structure and systems. Some deviation also arises through errors in and problems with the federal text itself. The Board conforms the federal text to the Illinois rules and regulatory scheme and corrects errors found in the text in the course of these routine update rulemakings.

In addition to the amendments derived from federal amendments, the Board often finds it necessary to alter the text of various passages of the existing rules as provisions are opened for update in response to USEPA actions. This involves correcting deficiencies, clarifying provisions, and making other changes that are necessary to establish a clear set of rules that closely parallel the corresponding federal requirements within the codification scheme of the Illinois Administrative Code.

The Board updates the citations to the Code of Federal Regulations to the most recent version available. As discussed above, the most recent versions of the Code of Federal Regulations available to the Board is the July 1, 2005 edition for USEPA regulations (Title 40). Thus, the Board has updated all citations to Title 40 to the 2005 edition of the Code of Federal Regulations, adding references to later amendments using their appropriate Federal Register citation, where necessary.

The Board substituted “or” for “/” in most instances where this appeared in the federal base text, using “and” where more appropriate. The Board further used this opportunity to make a number of corrections to punctuation, grammar, spelling, and cross-reference format throughout the opened text. We changed “who” to “that” and “he” or “she” to “it,” where the person to which the regulation referred was not necessarily a natural person, or to “he or she,” where a natural person was evident; changed “which” to “that” for restrictive relative clauses; substituted “must” for “shall”; capitalized the section headings and corrected their format where necessary; and corrected punctuation within sentences.

In addition, the federal rules have been edited to establish a uniform usage throughout the Board’s regulations. For example, with respect to “shall,” “will,” and “may,” “must” is used when an action is required by the rule, without regard to whether the action is required of the subject of the sentence or not. “Shall” is no longer used, since it is not used in everyday language. Thus, where a federal rule uses “shall,” the Board substitutes “must.” This is a break from our former practice where “shall” was used when the subject of a sentence has a duty to do something. “Will” is used when the Board obliges itself to do something. “May” is used when choice of a provision is optional. “Or” is used rather than “and/or,” and denotes “one or both.” “Either . . . or” denotes “one but not both.” “And” denotes “both.”

The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules has requested that the Board refer to the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the same manner throughout all of our bodies of regulations—i.e., air, water, drinking water, RCRA Subtitle D (municipal solid waste landfill), RCRA Subtitle C (hazardous waste), underground injection control (UIC), etc. The Board has decided to refer to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as “USEPA.” The Board will continue this conversion in future rulemakings as additional sections become open to amendment. The Board will further convert “EPA” used in federal text to “USEPA,” where USEPA is clearly intended.

The Board has assembled tables to aid in the location of these alterations and to briefly outline their intended purpose. Table 1 sets forth the miscellaneous deviations from the federal text, and Table 2 itemizes the corrections to the pre-amended base text of the rules in detail. Table 1 begins on page 11 of this opinion, and Table 2 begins on page 13. There is no further discussion of most of the deviations and revisions elsewhere in this opinion.

Discussion of Corrective Amendments

The Board has traditionally used the occasion of these identical-in-substance updates to correct segments of the base text of the Illinois regulations. These corrections are non-substantive in effect. The Board is including a significant number of non-substantive corrections in this docket.

When a necessary minor correction comes to the attention of the Board, Board staff makes a note of the correction, and set it aside until the next opportunity to make the correction. The next opportunity generally presents itself when the section involved is next opened for amendment as a result of amendments to the corresponding federal text. The Board has cataloged a small number of changes since the last SDWA update docket, SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004, August 25, 2004), R05-6 (Jan. 20, 2005).

The Board will not discuss the bulk of the particular corrective amendments in this segment of this discussion. Only one warrants specific discussion. That discussion follows this paragraph. The corrections are itemized in the Table 1, which begins on page 11 of this opinion.

The single correction that warrants specific discussion relates to language added to the rules at the request of USEPA, which the Board now seeks to delete. Section 611.380(a)(1) corresponds with 40 C.F.R. 141.130(a)(1). When initially adopting Section 611.380(a)(1), the Board added language at the suggestion of USEPA. See SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (July 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998), R99-12 (July 22, 1999). The Board added “or which provides water that contains a chemical disinfectant” on the recommendation of USEPA. On June 11, 1999, USEPA submitted to the Board a public comment with an attached copy of a draft direct final rule. USEPA intended to publish the direct final rule to correct inadvertent errors in its December 16, 1998 Disinfectant and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (63 Fed. Reg. 69390) and Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (63 Fed. Reg. 69478). See public comment number 3 in R99-12 (R99-12, PC 3) at p. 19.

USEPA has never published and adopted the draft direct final rule submitted to the Board in R99-12, PC 3. The existing text of 40 C.F.R. 130(a)(1) still does not include the phrase added by the Board at the suggestion of USEPA. See 40 C.F.R. 141.130(a)(1) (2005). USEPA has further not added the language in either of its more recent January 4, 2006 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (71 Fed. Reg. 388) or January 5, 2006 Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (71 Fed. Reg. 654). ⁶

The Board added the phrase “or which provides water that contains a chemical disinfectant” on the representation by USEPA that this is a correction that the Board should include because USEPA would itself shortly incorporate the correction. USEPA has not incorporated the draft correction into the federal rules in the intervening seven years. The Board will use this opportunity to remove the previously added language.

All corrective amendments are itemized in the Table 1, which begins on page 11 of this opinion. The Board requests that the Agency, JCAR, and the regulated community review the table and the text of the corrections. The Board requests comment on the corrections. The Board also asks for the assistance of the Agency, JCAR, and the regulated community in the process of spotting and correcting errors or omissions in the rules. The Board requests that interested persons submit suggestions for the correction of any errors of which they become aware. The Board will either include the corrections in this docket or catalog them for future revisions, if the suggestions relate to segments of the text that are not already involved in this proceeding and the Board cannot add them.

Tabulation of Miscellaneous Housekeeping Amendments

The tables below list numerous corrections and amendments that are not based on current federal amendments. The first table (beginning immediately below) includes deviations made in this Proposal for Public Comment from the verbatim text of the federal amendments. The second table (beginning immediately after Table 1 below) contains corrections and clarifications that the Board made in the base text involved in this proposal. The amendments listed in this second table are not directly derived from the current federal amendments.
