    (Identical-in-Substance Rulemaking -

    Proposed Rule. Dismissal Order.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    Sections 7.2 and 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 13.3
    (2006)) require the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to regulations of
    the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). 415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2006).
    Specifically, Section 13.3 relates to wastewater pretreatment regulations that USEPA adopted to
    implement Sections 307(b), (c), and (d) and 402(b)(8) and (b)(9) of the federal Water Pollution
    Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C. §§ 1317(b), (c), and (d) and 1342(b)(8) and (b)(9) (2005)).
    USEPA has codified the federal wastewater pretreatment rules as 40 C.F.R. 400 through 499.
    The Board reserved this docket for any wastewater pretreatment amendments adopted by
    USEPA during the period of July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. During that time period,
    USEPA did not amend its FWPCA rules in a way that related to wastewater pretreatment.
    Therefore, no action is necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, John T. Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that
    the Board adopted the above order on March 6, 2008, by a vote of 4-0.
