R2006-020

Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board Members

:

Our company is writing you in regards to : In the Matter of Amendments to the Board's

Special Waste Rules Concerning Used Oil, 35 Ill . Adm. Code 808, 809, RC 06-20 .

Thank you for this opportunity to provide public comment in the above-referenced

rulemaking. I submit this comment on behalf of X COMPANY, a member of NORA

.

X Company [explain company's involvement in the used oil industry - and its value to

the efforts of used oil recycling and state if you operate in Illinois or not]. X Company

endorses and supports NORA's rule proposal and requests that the Board adopt the

language proposed by NORA

.

Special Waste manifesting for used oil, including those substances entitled to be

regulated as used oil pursuant to federal and state regulations, is burdensome and

unnecessary.

In closing, our company believes that the current manifesting requirements in Illinois for

Used Oil and items regulated as Used Oil are unnecessary and burdensome . We strongly

encourage the Board to adopt the language proposed by NORA . We look forward to the

Board's adoption of NORA's rule proposal

.

Sincerely,

Benjamin P. Cowart

President of General Partner
