HB5070 Enrolled LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 AN ACT concerning safety.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
5 changing Sections 7.2, 10, 13, 13.3, 17.5, 22.4, and 22.40 as
6 follows:
7 (415 ILCS 5/7.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1007.2)
8 Sec. 7.2. Identical in substance rulemakings.
9 (a) In the context of a mandate that the Board adopt
10 regulations to secure federal authorization for a program,
11 regulations that are "identical in substance" means State
12 regulations which require the same actions with respect to
13 protection of the environment, by the same group of affected
14 persons, as would federal regulations if USEPA administered
15 the subject program in Illinois, except as provided in this
16 Section. After consideration of comments from the USEPA, the
17 Agency, the Attorney General and the public, the Board shall
18 adopt the verbatim text of such USEPA regulations as are
19 necessary and appropriate for authorization of the program. In
20 adopting "identical in substance" regulations, the only
21 changes that may be made by the Board to the federal
22 regulations are those changes that are necessary for
23 compliance with the Illinois Administrative Code, and
HB5070 Enrolled -2- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 technical changes that in no way change the scope or meaning of
2 any portion of the regulations, except as follows:
3 (1) The Board shall not adopt the equivalent of USEPA
4 rules that are not applicable to persons or facilities in
5 Illinois, that govern the program authorization process,
6 that are appropriate only in USEPA-administered programs,
7 or that govern actions to be taken by USEPA, other federal
8 agencies or other states.
9 (2) The Board shall not adopt rules prescribing things
10 which are outside the Board's normal functions, such as
11 rules specifying staffing or funding requirements for
12 programs.
13 (3) If a USEPA rule prescribes the contents of a State
14 regulation without setting forth the regulation itself,
15 which would be an integral part of any regulation required
16 to be adopted as an "identical in substance" regulation as
17 defined in this Section, the Board shall adopt a
18 regulation as prescribed, to the extent possible
19 consistent with other relevant USEPA regulations and
20 existing State law. The Board may not use this subsection
21 to adopt any regulation which is a required rule as that
22 term is defined by Section 28.2 of this Act. To the extent
23 practicable, the Board in its proposed and adopted opinion
24 shall include its rationale for adopting such regulation.
25 (4) Pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 5-75 of the
26 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the Board may
HB5070 Enrolled -3- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 incorporate USEPA rules by reference where it is possible
2 to do so without causing confusion to the affected public.
3 (5) If USEPA intends to retain decision-making
4 authority for a portion of the program, the Board
5 regulation shall so specify. In addition, the Board
6 regulation shall specify whether a decision is to be made
7 by the Board, the Agency or some other State agency, based
8 upon the general division of functions within this Act and
9 other Illinois statutes.
10 (6) Wherever appropriate, the Board regulations shall
11 reflect any consistent, more stringent regulations adopted
12 pursuant to the rulemaking requirements of Title VII of
13 this Act and Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative
14 Procedure Act.
15 (7) The Board may correct apparent typographical and
16 grammatical errors in USEPA rules.
17 (8) The Board, in adopting "identical in substance"
18 regulations, shall not adopt USEPA rules imposing
19 standards that are less stringent than those in existing
20 Board regulations. The Board may adopt such rules pursuant
21 to the rulemaking requirements of Title VII of this Act
22 and Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
23 Act. For purposes of adopting "identical in substance"
24 regulations, a revision to a federal regulation shall be
25 considered "less stringent" than an existing Board
26 regulation only if the federal revision, when compared on
HB5070 Enrolled -4- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 a provision-by-provision basis to the specific Board
2 regulatory requirement it would affect, directly and
3 substantively reduces the level of environmental or public
4 health protection required by the corresponding Board
5 provision, as demonstrated by one or more of the
6 following:
7 (A) the federal revision eliminates a numerical
8 emission, discharge, or concentration limit, or
9 increases it above the level established in the
10 existing Board regulation;
11 (B) the federal revision eliminates or narrows the
12 scope of a specific prohibition or restriction on an
13 activity, substance, or process that is expressly set
14 forth in the existing Board regulation; or
15 (C) the federal revision eliminates or weakens a
16 specific, identified performance standard, design
17 standard, or technology-based requirement that is set
18 forth in the existing Board regulation.
19 (b) In adopting regulations that are "identical in
20 substance" with specified federal regulations under subsection
21 (c) of Section 13, Section 13.3, Section 17.5, subsection (a)
22 or (d) of Section 22.4, subsection (a) of Section 22.7, or
23 subsection (a) of Section 22.40, subsection (H) of Section 10,
24 or specified federal determinations under subsection (e) of
25 Section 9.1, the Board shall complete its rulemaking
26 proceedings within one year after the adoption of the
HB5070 Enrolled -5- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 corresponding federal rule. If the Board consolidates multiple
2 federal rulemakings into a single Board rulemaking, the
3 one-year period shall be calculated from the adoption date of
4 the federal rule first adopted among those consolidated. After
5 adopting an "identical in substance" rule, if the Board
6 determines that an amendment is needed to that rule, the Board
7 shall initiate a rulemaking proceeding to propose such
8 amendment. The amendment shall be adopted within one year of
9 the initiation of the Board's determination.
10 Additionally, if the Board, after adopting an "identical
11 in substance" rule, determines that a technical correction to
12 that rule is needed, the Board may initiate an application for
13 certification of correction under Section 5-85 of the Illinois
14 Administrative Procedure Act.
15 The one-year period may be extended by the Board for an
16 additional period of time if necessary to complete the
17 rulemaking proceeding. In order to extend the one-year period,
18 the Board must make a finding, based upon the record in the
19 rulemaking proceeding, that the one-year period is
20 insufficient for completion of the rulemaking, and such
21 finding shall specifically state the reasons for the
22 extension. Except as otherwise provided above, the Board must
23 make the finding that an extension of time is necessary prior
24 to the expiration of the initial one-year period, and must
25 also publish a notice of extension in the Illinois Register as
26 expeditiously as practicable following its decision, stating
HB5070 Enrolled -6- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 the specific reasons for the Board's decision to extend. The
2 notice of extension need not appear in the Illinois Register
3 prior to the expiration of the initial one year period and
4 shall specify a date certain by which the Board anticipates
5 completion of the rulemaking, except that if a date certain
6 cannot be specified because of a need to delay adoption
7 pending occurrence of an event beyond the Board's control, the
8 notice shall specify the event, explain its circumstances, and
9 contain an estimate of the amount of time needed to complete
10 the rulemaking after the occurrence of the specified event.

12 (g) Requirements and standards for equipment and
13 procedures for monitoring contaminant discharges at their
14 sources, the collection of samples, and the collection,
15 reporting, and retention of data resulting from such
16 monitoring.
17 (B) The Board may adopt regulations and emission standards
18 that are applicable or that may become applicable to
19 stationary emission sources located in all areas of the State
20 in accordance with any of the following:
21 (1) that are required by federal law;
22 (2) that are otherwise part of the State's attainment
23 plan and are necessary to attain the national ambient air
24 quality standards; or
25 (3) that are necessary to comply with the requirements

HB5070 Enrolled -8- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 (4) that are necessary to comply with air quality
2 standards adopted by the Board.
3 (C) The Board may not adopt any regulation banning the
4 burning of landscape waste throughout the State generally. The
5 Board may, by regulation, restrict or prohibit the burning of
6 landscape waste within any geographical area of the State if
7 it determines based on medical and biological evidence
8 generally accepted by the scientific community that such
9 burning will produce in the atmosphere of that geographical
10 area contaminants in sufficient quantities and of such
11 characteristics and duration as to be injurious to human,
12 plant, or animal life or health.
13 (D) The Board shall adopt regulations requiring the owner
14 or operator of a gasoline dispensing system that dispenses
15 more than 10,000 gallons of gasoline per month to install and
16 operate a system for the recovery of gasoline vapor emissions
17 arising from the fueling of motor vehicles that meets the
18 requirements of Section 182 of the federal Clean Air Act (42
19 U.S.C. 7511a). These regulations shall apply only in areas of
20 the State that are classified as moderate, serious, severe, or
21 extreme nonattainment areas for ozone pursuant to Section 181
22 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7511), but shall not
23 apply in such areas classified as moderate nonattainment areas
24 for ozone if the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
25 Protection Agency promulgates standards for vehicle-based
26 (onboard) systems for the control of vehicle refueling
HB5070 Enrolled -9- LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
1 emissions pursuant to Section 202(a)(6) of the federal Clean
2 Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521(a)(6)) by November 15, 1992.
3 (E) The Board shall not adopt or enforce any regulation
4 requiring the use of a tarpaulin or other covering on a truck,
5 trailer, or other vehicle that is stricter than the
6 requirements of Section 15-109.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
7 To the extent that it is in conflict with this subsection, the
8 Board's rule codified as 35 Ill. Adm. Code 212.315 is hereby
9 superseded.

11 timely Notice of Intent to Petition for an Adjusted RACT
12 Emissions Limitation and who subsequently timely files a
13 completed petition for an adjusted RACT emissions limitation
14 pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215, Subpart I, shall be
15 subject to the procedures contained in Subpart I but shall be
16 excluded by operation of law from 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215,
17 Subparts PP, QQ, and RR, including the applicable definitions
18 in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 211. Such persons shall instead be
19 subject to a separate regulation which the Board is hereby
20 authorized to adopt pursuant to the adjusted RACT emissions
21 limitation procedure in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215, Subpart I.
22 In its final action on the petition, the Board shall create a
23 separate rule which establishes Reasonably Available Control
24 Technology (RACT) for such person. The purpose of this
25 procedure is to create separate and independent regulations
26 for purposes of SIP submittal, review, and approval by USEPA.

10 standards promulgated by the Administrator of the United
11 States Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with
12 Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, except that the Board shall
13 not adopt under this subsection (H) any standards less
14 stringent than those existing in Board regulations. The Board
15 may consolidate into a single rulemaking under this subsection
16 all such federal regulations adopted within a period of time
17 not to exceed 6 months. The provisions and requirements of
18 Title VII of this Act and Section 5-35 of the Illinois
19 Administrative Procedure Act, relating to procedures for
20 rulemaking, shall not apply to identical in substance
21 regulations adopted pursuant to this subsection. However, the
22 Board shall provide for notice and public comment before
23 adopted rules are filed with the Secretary of State. Nothing
24 in this subsection shall be construed to limit the right of any
25 person to submit a proposal to the Board, or the authority of
26 the Board to adopt, air quality standards more stringent than
HB5070 Enrolled - 11 - LRB104 19577 BDA 33025 b
