    in 35
    Ill. Adm.
    Code
    611.
    Section
    7.2(a)
    of the Act
    requires
    the
    Board
    to complete
    its identical-in-substance
    rulemaking

    on which
    they are

    R08-5/R08-7/R08-13.
    That

    amendments
    to the

    rules of

    Code
    307 and 310
    and to

    Notices
    of Proposed

    appeared
    in
    the

    29, 2008
    issue
    of the
    Illinois
    Register,
    at 32
    Ill. Reg.
    14065.
    In
    summary,
    the
    Board is
    again extending
    the
    deadline for
    completion
    of
    the
    SDWA
    drinking
    water
    amendments
    only.
    The
    extension
    allows the
    Board
    to withdraw
    the amendments
    published
    in the Illinois
    Register
    on August
    29, 2008
    and
    to cause
    publication
    of
    a
    more
    comprehensive
    set
    of amendments
    proposed
    by the Board
    on
    September
    4, 2008.
    By
    a supplemental
    opinion
    and order
    dated September
    4,
    2008,
    the Board
    added
    amendments
    to
    the
    SDWA
    drinking
    water
    rules
    of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code
    611 that
    were
    in
    addition
    to those
    set forth
    in the
    August
    7, 2008
    proposal
    for
    public comment.
    The
    proposed
    amendments
    to the
    wastewater
    pretreatment
    rules
    of
    35
    Ill. Adm. Code
    307 and
    310 were
    not affected
    by
    the
    September
    4,
    2008 supplemental
    opinion
    and
    order.
    The September
    4, 2008
    supplemental
    opinion
    and order
    also
    deconsolidated
    the amendments
    to
    the
    wastewater
    pretreatment
    rules in
    docket
    R08-5
    from
    the SDWA
    drinking
    water
    amendments
    to the SDWA
    drinking
    water
    rules in consolidated
    docket
    R08-7/R08-13.
    A
    segment of
    the
    September
    4,
    2008
    supplemental
    opinion
    and
    order set
    forth
    reasons
    for delay
    and extended
    the
    deadline
    for
    final action
    on the
    amendments
    from December
    1,
    2008
    to
    December
    31, 2008.

    ILLINOIS REGISTER
    POLLUTION
    CONTROL BOARD
    NOTICE
    OF
    PUBLIC
    INFORMATION
    PURSUANT
    TO 415
    ILCS 5/7.2(b)
    TIMETABLE
    FOR COMPLETION
    OF THIS
    RULEMAKING
    AND
    EXTENSION
    OF
    THE
    DEADLINE
    FOR FINAL
    ACTION
    Under Section 7.2
    of the Act (415
    ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2006)),
    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
    March 12, 2007,
    so the deadline for
    Board
    adoption
    of
    these amendments
    under that provision
    was March 12,
    2008.
    Section 7.2(b),
    however, further
    provides
    for extension of the deadline
    for
    final
    Board
    action
    by adoption
    of a Board order
    and publication
    of a Notice
    of
    Public
    Information
    on Proposed
    Rules that extends the
    deadline.
    By
    an order
    dated
    March 6, 2008,
    the Board used this
    provision to extend
    the deadline.
    The
    Board did so again
    in
    the August
    7, 2008 original
    proposal
    for
    public comment
    that
    included the
    SDWA amendments,
    extending
    the deadline until December
    1,
    2008. Further
    delay has
    resulted from
    corrections based on
    late consideration
    of
    Agency
    comments
    submitted in
    2007
    and inadvertently
    overlooked
    during the
    assembly of the August
    7,
    2008
    original proposal for public
    comment.
    This has
    necessitated
    withdrawal
    of the Notice of
    Proposed Amendments
    for Part 611
    published in the
    August
    29,
    2008 issue of the Illinois
    Register.
    These are the
    principal
    factors that
    make an extension
    of the deadline
    for final action
    on Part
    611 necessary.’
    The
    Board
    today again extends
    the
    deadline
    for completion
    of the
    consolidated R08-7/R08-13
    docket.
    The final
    Board action
    to adopt these amendments
    is
    now
    December 31,
    2008.
    This extended deadline
    has
    a
    slight
    amount of extra
    time
    added to
    allow for
    any
    minor unforeseen
    delays in
    finalizing
    the
    amendments.
    Considering
    the proposal
    of these SDWA
    amendments
    on this date,
    the
    Board
    presently projects
    the following
    will
    occur
    in
    the progress towards
    completion
    of these
    amendments:
    ‘The projected
    timetable that
    appears on this page
    indicates
    that
    it may still be
    possible
    to complete these
    amendments
    by December
    1,
    2008,
    but that
    would not
    permit any
    delays at any stage of
    this proceeding.
    The Board would
    prefer to
    allow
    for
    unforeseen
    delays in final
    adoption, rather than
    risk failing
    to meet the
    deadline.
