ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S SECOND ERRATA
SHEET TO ITS PROPOSAL FOR THE ADDITION OF 35 ILL. ADM. CODE 223
NOW COMES the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Illinois EPA"), by
and through its attorney Charles E. Matoesian, and submits this Second Errata Sheet to its
proposal for the addition of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 223. The Illinois EPA proposes the
following amendments to the text of the rules submitted in its proposal to the Board dated
January 2, 2008:
I. Amend Section 223.203 to clarify that the ASTM method specified was incorporated by
reference. The notation was inadvertently omitted from the proposed rule.
"Liquid" means a substance or mixture of substances which is capable of a visually
detectable flow as determined under ASTM D-4359-90(2000)el, incorporated by
reference in Section 223.120, including any subsequent amendments or an
equivalent method approved by the California Air Resources Board. This does not
include powders or other materials that are composed entirely of solid particles.
"Solid" means a substance or mixture of substances which, either whole or
subdivided (such as the particles comprising a powder), is not capable of visually
detectable flow as determined under ASTM D-4359-90(2000)el, incorporated by
reference in Section 223.120, or an equivalent method approved by the California
Air Resources Board.
"Special Purpose Spray Adhesive" means an aerosol adhesive that meets any of the
following definitions:

limits specified in Section 223.410(c), the WMIR and the weight
fraction of all ingredients including: water, solids, each ROC, and
any compounds assigned a
MHZ
value of zero as specified in
Section 223.410(j), and Appendices A or B to this Part. Each ROC
must be reported as an ingredient if it is present in an amount
greater than or equal to 0.1% by weight of the final aerosol coatings
formulation. If an individual ROC is present in an amount less than
0.1% by weight, then it does not need to be reported as an
ingredient. In addition, an impurity that meets the following
definition does not need to be reported as an ingredient.

Test Methods
Compliance with the requirements of this Subpart shall be determined by using the
following test methods, which are incorporated by reference herein. Alternative test
methods which are shown to accurately determine the VOM content, ingredient name and
weight percent of each ingredient, exempt compound content, metal content, specular
gloss, or acid content may also be used after approval in writing by the Agency:
a)
The VOM content of all aerosol coating products subject to the provisions
of this Subpart shall be determined by the procedures set forth in "Air
Resources Board Method 310, Determination of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOM) in Consumer Products and Reactive Organic
Compounds in Aerosol Coating Products," adopted September 25, 1997,
and as last amended on May 5, 2005, as incorporated by reference in
Section 223.120.
b)
Testing for Products Subject to the Reactivity Limits Specified in Section
223.410(b).
1)
The ingredients and the amount of each ingredient of all aerosol
coating products subject to the provisions of this Subpart shall be
determined by the procedures set forth in "Air Resources Board
Method 310, Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOM)
in Consumer Products," adopted September 25, 1997 and as last

2)
Upon written notification from the Agency, the aerosol coating
manufacturer shall have 10 working days to provide to the Agency
the following information for products selected for testing:
A)
The product category as defined in Section 223.407;
B)
The PWMIR;
C)
The weight fraction of all ingredients including: water,
solids, each ROC, and any compounds assigned a MIR value
of zero as specified in sections 223.410(j), and Appendices
A and B to this Part. Each ROC must be reported as an
ingredient if it is present in an amount greater than or equal
to 0.1% by weight of the final aerosol coatings formulation.
If an individual ROC is present in an amount less than 0.1%
by weight, then it does not need to be reported as an
ingredient. In addition, an impurity that meets the following
definition does not need to be reported as an ingredient.
For the purpose of this section, an "impurity" means an
individual chemical compound present in a raw material
which is incorporated into the final aerosol coatings
formulation, if the compound is present below the following
amounts in the raw material:
For individual compounds that are carcinogens, as
defined in 29 CFR Section 1910.1200(d)(4), as
incorporated by reference in Section 223.120, each
compound must be present in an amount less than
0.1% by weight in order to be considered an
"impurity."
ii)
For all other compounds present in a raw material, a
compound must be present in an amount less than
one percent by weight in order to be considered an
"impurity";
D)
Any other information necessary to determine the PWMIR
of the aerosol coating products to be tested.
3)
Final determination of the PWMIR of the aerosol coatings shall be
determined using the information obtained from Appendix A and B.
