a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not be
required to renew an existing State operating permit for
any emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
application timely submitted prior to expiration of the
State operating permit has been deemed complete. For
purposes other than permit renewal, the obligation upon the
owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State

09900HB3341ham002 - 24 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
operating permit is not removed upon submittal of the
complete CAAPP permit application. An owner or operator of
a CAAPP source seeking to make a modification to a source
prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be required
to obtain a construction permit, operating permit, or both
as required for such modification in accordance with the
State permit program under subsection (a) of Section 39 of
this Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The application for such construction permit,
operating permit, or both shall be considered an amendment
to the CAAPP application submitted for such source.
b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
continue to operate in accordance with the terms and
conditions of its applicable State operating permit
notwithstanding the expiration of the State operating
permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
c. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
its initial CAAPP application to the Agency no later than
12 months after the effective date of the CAAPP. The Agency
may request submittal of initial CAAPP applications during
this 12-month period according to a schedule set forth
within Agency procedures, however, in no event shall the
Agency require such submittal earlier than 3 months after
such effective date of the CAAPP. An owner or operator may
voluntarily submit its initial CAAPP application prior to
the date required within this paragraph or applicable

09900HB3341ham002 - 25 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
procedures, if any, subsequent to the date the Agency
submits the CAAPP to USEPA for approval.
d. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications
in accordance with paragraph (j) of subsection 5 of this
Section.
e. For purposes of this Section, the term "initial
CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
submitted for a source existing as of the effective date of
the CAAPP.
f. The Agency shall provide owners or operators of
CAAPP sources with at least 3 months advance notice of the
date on which their applications are required to be
submitted. In determining which sources shall be subject to
early submittal, the Agency shall include among its
considerations the complexity of the permit application,
and the burden that such early submittal will have on the
source.
g. The CAAPP permit shall upon becoming effective
supersede the State operating permit.
h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
5. Applications and Completeness.
a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit

09900HB3341ham002 - 26 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
its complete CAAPP application consistent with the Act and
applicable regulations.
b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
a single complete CAAPP application covering all emission
units at that source.
c. To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
provide all information, as requested in Agency
application forms, sufficient to evaluate the subject
source and its application and to determine all applicable
requirements, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, and
regulations thereunder, this Act and regulations
thereunder. Such Agency application forms shall be
finalized and made available prior to the date on which any
CAAPP application is required.
d. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit,
as part of its complete CAAPP application, a compliance
plan, including a schedule of compliance, describing how
each emission unit will comply with all applicable
requirements. Any such schedule of compliance shall be
supplemental to, and shall not sanction noncompliance
with, the applicable requirements on which it is based.
e. Each submitted CAAPP application shall be certified
for truth, accuracy, and completeness by a responsible
official in accordance with applicable regulations.
f. The Agency shall provide notice to a CAAPP applicant
as to whether a submitted CAAPP application is complete.

09900HB3341ham002 - 27 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
Unless the Agency notifies the applicant of
incompleteness, within 60 days after receipt of the CAAPP
application, the application shall be deemed complete. The
Agency may request additional information as needed to make
the completeness determination. The Agency may to the
extent practicable provide the applicant with a reasonable
opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a final
determination of completeness.
g. If after the determination of completeness the
Agency finds that additional information is necessary to
evaluate or take final action on the CAAPP application, the
Agency may request in writing such information from the
source with a reasonable deadline for response.
h. If the owner or operator of a CAAPP source submits a
timely and complete CAAPP application, the source's
failure to have a CAAPP permit shall not be a violation of
this Section until the Agency takes final action on the
submitted CAAPP application, provided, however, where the
applicant fails to submit the requested information under
paragraph(g) of this subsection 5 within the time frame
specified by the Agency, this protection shall cease to
apply.
i. Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant facts
necessary to evaluate the subject source and its CAAPP
application or who has submitted incorrect information in a
CAAPP application shall, upon becoming aware of such

09900HB3341ham002 - 28 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
failure or incorrect submittal, submit supplementary facts
or correct information to the Agency. In addition, an
applicant shall provide to the Agency additional
information as necessary to address any requirements which
become applicable to the source subsequent to the date the
applicant submitted its complete CAAPP application but
prior to release of the draft CAAPP permit.
j. The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
within 18 months after the date of receipt of the complete
CAAPP application, with the following exceptions: (i)
permits for affected sources for acid deposition shall be
issued or denied within 6 months after receipt of a
complete application in accordance with subsection 17 of
this Section; (ii) the Agency shall act on initial CAAPP
applications within 24 months after the date of receipt of
the complete CAAPP application; (iii) the Agency shall act
on complete applications containing early reduction
demonstrations under Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act
within 9 months of receipt of the complete CAAPP
application.
Where the Agency does not take final action on the
permit within the required time period, the permit shall
not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
k. The submittal of a complete CAAPP application shall

09900HB3341ham002 - 29 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
not affect the requirement that any source have a
preconstruction permit under Title I of the Clean Air Act.
l. Unless a timely and complete renewal application has
been submitted consistent with this subsection, a CAAPP
source operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP permit
shall be deemed to be operating without a CAAPP permit.
Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
m. Permits being renewed shall be subject to the same
procedural requirements, including those for public
participation and federal review and objection, that apply
to original permit issuance.
n. For purposes of permit renewal, a timely application
is one that is submitted no less than 9 months prior to the
date of permit expiration.
o. The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
remain in effect until the issuance of a CAAPP renewal
permit provided a timely and complete CAAPP application has
been submitted.
p. The owner or operator of a CAAPP source seeking a
permit shield pursuant to paragraph(j) of subsection 7 of
this Section shall request such permit shield in the CAAPP
application regarding that source.
q. The Agency shall make available to the public all
documents submitted by the applicant to the Agency,
including each CAAPP application, compliance plan
(including the schedule of compliance), and emissions or

09900HB3341ham002 - 30 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
compliance monitoring report, with the exception of
information entitled to confidential treatment pursuant to
Section 7 of this Act.
r. The Agency shall use the standardized forms required
under Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations
promulgated thereunder for affected sources for acid
deposition.
s. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may include
within its CAAPP application a request for permission to
operate during a startup, malfunction, or breakdown
consistent with applicable Board regulations.
t. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source, in order to
utilize the operational flexibility provided under
paragraph(l) of subsection 7 of this Section, must request
such use and provide the necessary information within its
CAAPP application.
u. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source which seeks
exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition of
federally enforceable conditions, pursuant to paragraph(c)
of subsection 3 of this Section, must request such
exclusion within a CAAPP application submitted consistent
with this subsection on or after the date that the CAAPP
application for the source is due. Prior to such date, but
in no case later than 9 months after the effective date of
the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the
imposition of federally enforceable conditions pursuant to

09900HB3341ham002 - 31 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
paragraph(b) of subsection 1.1 of this Section.
v. CAAPP applications shall contain accurate
information on allowable emissions to implement the fee
provisions of subsection 18 of this Section.
w. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit

regarding all regulated air pollutants emitted at that
source consistent with applicable Agency procedures.
Emissions information regarding insignificant activities
or emission levels, as determined by the Agency pursuant to
Board regulations, may be submitted as a list within the
CAAPP application. The Agency shall propose regulations to
the Board defining insignificant activities or emission
levels, consistent with federal regulations, if any, no
later than 18 months after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1992, consistent with Section 112(n)(1)
of the Clean Air Act. The Board shall adopt final
regulations defining insignificant activities or emission
levels no later than 9 months after the date of the
Agency's proposal.
x. The owner or operator of a new CAAPP source shall
submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with this
subsection within 12 months after commencing operation of
such source. The owner or operator of an existing source
that has been excluded from the provisions of this Section

complete CAAPP application consistent with this subsection
at least 180 days before commencing operation in accordance
with the change in operation.
y. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary to implement this subsection.
6. Prohibitions.
a. It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any
terms or conditions of a permit issued under this Section,
to operate any CAAPP source except in compliance with a
permit issued by the Agency under this Section or to
violate any other applicable requirements. All terms and
conditions of a permit issued under this Section are
enforceable by USEPA and citizens under the Clean Air Act,
except those, if any, that are specifically designated as
not being federally enforceable in the permit pursuant to
paragraph(m) of subsection 7 of this Section.
b. After the applicable CAAPP permit or renewal
application submittal date, as specified in subsection 5 of
this Section, no person shall operate a CAAPP source
without a CAAPP permit unless the complete CAAPP permit or
renewal application for such source has been timely

09900HB3341ham002 - 33 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
submitted to the Agency.
c. No owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall cause
or threaten or allow the continued operation of an emission
source during malfunction or breakdown of the emission
source or related air pollution control equipment if such

permit granted to the source provides for such operation
consistent with this Act and applicable Board regulations.
7. Permit Content.
a. All CAAPP permits shall contain emission
limitations and standards and other enforceable terms and
conditions, including but not limited to operational
requirements, and schedules for achieving compliance at
the earliest reasonable date, which are or will be required
to accomplish the purposes and provisions of this Act and
to assure compliance with all applicable requirements.
b. The Agency shall include among such conditions
applicable monitoring, reporting, record keeping and
compliance certification requirements, as authorized by
paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this subsection, that the
Agency deems necessary to assure compliance with the Clean

every 6 months. More frequent submittals may be
requested by the Agency if such submittals are
necessary to assure compliance with this Act or
regulations promulgated by the Board thereunder. All
instances of deviations from permit requirements must
be clearly identified in such reports. All required
reports must be certified by a responsible official
consistent with subsection 5 of this Section.
ii. Prompt reporting of deviations from permit
requirements, including those attributable to upset
conditions as defined in the permit, the probable cause
of such deviations, and any corrective actions or
preventive measures taken.
g. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
Section shall include a condition prohibiting emissions

09900HB3341ham002 - 37 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
exceeding any allowances that the source lawfully holds

i. The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit, when
requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph(p) of
subsection 5 of this Section, a provision stating that
compliance with the conditions of the permit shall be
deemed compliance with applicable requirements which
are applicable as of the date of release of the
proposed permit, provided that:
A. The applicable requirement is specifically
identified within the permit; or
B. The Agency in acting on the CAAPP

09900HB3341ham002 - 38 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
application or revision determines in writing that
other requirements specifically identified are not
applicable to the source, and the permit includes
that determination or a concise summary thereof.
ii. The permit shall identify the requirements for
which the source is shielded. The shield shall not
extend to applicable requirements which are
promulgated after the date of release of the proposed

D. The ability of USEPA to obtain information

09900HB3341ham002 - 39 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
from a source pursuant to Section 114
(inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the Clean
Air Act.
k. Each CAAPP permit shall include an emergency
provision providing an affirmative defense of emergency to
an action brought for noncompliance with technology-based
emission limitations under a CAAPP permit if the following
conditions are met through properly signed,
contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant
evidence:
i. An emergency occurred and the permittee can
identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
ii. The permitted facility was at the time being
properly operated.
iii. The permittee submitted notice of the
emergency to the Agency within 2 working days after the
time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the
emergency. This notice must contain a detailed
description of the emergency, any steps taken to
mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
iv. During the period of the emergency the
permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels
of emissions that exceeded the emission limitations,
standards, or requirements in the permit.
For purposes of this subsection, "emergency" means any
situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable

09900HB3341ham002 - 40 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
events beyond the control of the source, such as an act of
God, that requires immediate corrective action to restore
normal operation, and that causes the source to exceed a
technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due
to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the
emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to
the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of
preventative maintenance, careless or improper operation,
or operation error.
In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking
to establish the occurrence of an emergency has the burden
of proof. This provision is in addition to any emergency or
upset provision contained in any applicable requirement.
This provision does not relieve a permittee of any
reporting obligations under existing federal or state laws
or regulations.
l. The Agency shall include in each permit issued under
subsection 10 of this Section:
i. Terms and conditions for reasonably anticipated
operating scenarios identified by the source in its
application. The permit terms and conditions for each
such operating scenario shall meet all applicable

of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend to all
terms and conditions under each such operating
scenario.
ii. Where requested by an applicant, all terms and
conditions allowing for trading of emissions increases
and decreases between different emission units at the
CAAPP source, to the extent that the applicable
requirements provide for trading of such emissions
increases and decreases without a case-by-case
approval of each emissions trade. Such terms and
conditions:
A. Shall include all terms required under this
subsection to determine compliance;
B. Must meet all applicable requirements;
C. Shall extend the permit shield described in
paragraph(j) of subsection 7 of this Section to all
terms and conditions that allow such increases and
decreases in emissions.
m. The Agency shall specifically designate as not being
federally enforceable under the Clean Air Act any terms and
conditions included in the permit that are not specifically
required under the Clean Air Act or federal regulations
promulgated thereunder. Terms or conditions so designated

09900HB3341ham002 - 42 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
shall be subject to all applicable state requirements,
except the requirements of subsection 7 (other than this
paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7, subsections 8
through 11, and subsections 13 through 16 of this Section.
The Agency shall, however, include such terms and

requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
o. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
Section shall include provisions stating the following:
i. Duty to comply. The permittee must comply with
all terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit. Any
permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the
Clean Air Act and the Act, and is grounds for any or
all of the following: enforcement action; permit
termination, revocation and reissuance, or
modification; or denial of a permit renewal
application.
ii. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense.
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an
enforcement action that it would have been necessary to
halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to
maintain compliance with the conditions of this

09900HB3341ham002 - 43 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
permit.
iii. Permit actions. The permit may be modified,
revoked, reopened, and reissued, or terminated for
cause in accordance with the applicable subsections of
Section 39.5 of this Act. The filing of a request by
the permittee for a permit modification, revocation
and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification of
planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not
stay any permit condition.
iv. Property rights. The permit does not convey any
property rights of any sort, or any exclusive
privilege.
v. Duty to provide information. The permittee
shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
specified by the Agency any information that the Agency
may request in writing to determine whether cause
exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or
terminating the permit or to determine compliance with
the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also
furnish to the Agency copies of records required to be
kept by the permit or, for information claimed to be
confidential, the permittee may furnish such records
directly to USEPA along with a claim of
confidentiality.
vi. Duty to pay fees. The permittee must pay fees
to the Agency consistent with the fee schedule approved

09900HB3341ham002 - 44 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section, and submit
any information relevant thereto.
vii. Emissions trading. No permit revision shall
be required for increases in emissions allowed under
any approved economic incentives, marketable permits,
emissions trading, and other similar programs or
processes for changes that are provided for in the
permit and that are authorized by the applicable
requirement.
p. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
Section shall contain the following elements with respect
to compliance:
i. Compliance certification, testing, monitoring,
reporting, and record keeping requirements sufficient
to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of
the permit. Any document (including reports) required
by a CAAPP permit shall contain a certification by a
responsible official that meets the requirements of
subsection 5 of this Section and applicable
regulations.

frequently if the Agency determines that such more

09900HB3341ham002 - 46 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
frequent submittals are necessary for compliance with
the Act or regulations promulgated by the Board
thereunder. Such progress reports shall contain the
following:
A. Required dates for achieving the
activities, milestones, or compliance required by
the schedule of compliance and dates when such
activities, milestones or compliance were
achieved.
B. An explanation of why any dates in the
schedule of compliance were not or will not be met,
and any preventive or corrective measures adopted.
v. Requirements for compliance certification with
terms and conditions contained in the permit,
including emission limitations, standards, or work
practices. Permits shall include each of the
following:
A. The frequency (annually or more frequently
as specified in any applicable requirement or by
the Agency pursuant to written procedures) of
submissions of compliance certifications.
B. A means for assessing or monitoring the
compliance of the source with its emissions

d. The Agency, as part of its submittal of a proposed
permit to USEPA (or as soon as possible after the submittal
for minor permit modification procedures allowed under
subsection 14 of this Section), shall notify USEPA and any
affected State in writing of any refusal of the Agency to
accept all of the recommendations for the proposed permit
that an affected State submitted during the public or
affected State review period. The notice shall include the

09900HB3341ham002 - 49 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
Agency's reasons for not accepting the recommendations.
The Agency is not required to accept recommendations that
are not based on applicable requirements or the
requirements of this Section.
e. The Agency shall make available to the public any
CAAPP permit application, compliance plan (including the
schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and emissions or
compliance monitoring report. If an owner or operator of a
CAAPP source is required to submit information entitled to
protection from disclosure under Section 7.1 and
subsection (a) of Section 7 of this Act, the owner or
operator shall submit such information separately. The
requirements of Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section 7
of this Act shall apply to such information, which shall
not be included in a CAAPP permit unless required by law.
The contents of a CAAPP permit shall not be entitled to
protection under Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section
7 of this Act.
f. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
g. If requested by the permit applicant, the Agency
shall provide the permit applicant with a copy of the draft
CAAPP permit prior to any public review period. If
requested by the permit applicant, the Agency shall provide

09900HB3341ham002 - 50 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
the permit applicant with a copy of the final CAAPP permit
prior to issuance of the CAAPP permit.
9. USEPA Notice and Objection.
a. The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review a
copy of each CAAPP application (including any application
for permit modification), statement of basis as provided in
paragraph(b) of subsection 8 of this Section, proposed
CAAPP permit, CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
incorporate any affected State's recommendations on a
proposed CAAPP permit, a written statement of this decision
and its reasons for not accepting the recommendations,
except as otherwise provided in this Act or by agreement
with USEPA. To the extent practicable, the preceding
information shall be provided in computer readable format
compatible with USEPA's national database management
system.
b. The Agency shall not issue the proposed CAAPP permit
if USEPA objects in writing within 45 days after receipt of
the proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary supporting
information.
c. If USEPA objects in writing to the issuance of the
proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the Agency
shall respond in writing and may revise and resubmit the
proposed CAAPP permit in response to the stated objection,
to the extent supported by the record, within 90 days after

09900HB3341ham002 - 51 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
the date of the objection. Prior to submitting a revised
permit to USEPA, the Agency shall provide the applicant and
any person who participated in the public comment process,
pursuant to subsection 8 of this Section, with a 10-day
period to comment on any revision which the Agency is
proposing to make to the permit in response to USEPA's
objection in accordance with Agency procedures.
d. Any USEPA objection under this subsection,
according to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement of
reasons for the objection and a description of the terms
and conditions that must be in the permit, in order to
adequately respond to the objections. Grounds for a USEPA
objection include the failure of the Agency to: (1) submit
the items and notices required under this subsection; (2)
submit any other information necessary to adequately
review the proposed CAAPP permit; or (3) process the permit
under subsection 8 of this Section except for minor permit
modifications.
e. If USEPA does not object in writing to issuance of a
permit under this subsection, any person may petition USEPA
within 60 days after expiration of the 45-day review period
to make such objection.
f. If the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA
objects to the permit as a result of a petition, the Agency
shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection has been
resolved. The Agency shall provide a 10-day comment period

09900HB3341ham002 - 52 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
in accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. A
petition does not, however, stay the effectiveness of a
permit or its requirements if the permit was issued after
expiration of the 45-day review period and prior to a USEPA
objection.
g. If the Agency has issued a permit after expiration
of the 45-day review period and prior to receipt of a USEPA
objection under this subsection in response to a petition
submitted pursuant to paragraph e of this subsection, the
Agency may, upon receipt of an objection from USEPA, revise
and resubmit the permit to USEPA pursuant to this
subsection after providing a 10-day comment period in
accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. If the
Agency fails to submit a revised permit in response to the
objection, USEPA shall modify, terminate or revoke the
permit. In any case, the source will not be in violation of
the requirement to have submitted a timely and complete
application.
h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
10. Final Agency Action.
a. The Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit, permit
modification, or permit renewal if all of the following

09900HB3341ham002 - 53 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a

09900HB3341ham002 - 54 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
subsection 9 of this Section to USEPA, and USEPA has
not objected to the issuance of the permit in
accordance with the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR Part 70.
b. The Agency shall have the authority to deny a CAAPP
permit, permit modification, or permit renewal if the
applicant has not complied with the requirements of
subparagraphs (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) of this
subsection or if USEPA objects to its issuance.
c. i. Prior to denial of a CAAPP permit, permit
modification, or permit renewal under this Section,

shall not exceed 15 days from the date the notification
is received by the applicant. The Agency may grant a
reasonable extension for good cause shown.
iii. Failure by the applicant to adequately
respond by the date specified in the notification or by
any granted extension date shall be grounds for denial
of the permit.
For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall
provide to USEPA and each applicant, and, upon request,
to affected States, any person who participated in the

09900HB3341ham002 - 55 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
public comment process, and any other person who could
obtain judicial review under Sections 40.2 and 41 of
this Act, a copy of each CAAPP permit or notification
of denial pertaining to that party.
d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois

with subsection 5 of this Section and applicable
regulations.
d. The Agency shall comply with the public comment and
hearing provisions of this Section as well as the USEPA and
affected State review procedures prior to issuance of a
general permit.

09900HB3341ham002 - 56 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
e. When granting a subsequent request by a qualifying
CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a general
permit, the Agency shall not be required to repeat the
public notice and comment procedures. The granting of such
request shall not be considered a final permit action for
purposes of judicial review.
f. The Agency may not issue a general permit to cover
any discrete emission unit at a CAAPP source if another
CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
g. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
12. Operational Flexibility.
a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
changes at the CAAPP source without requiring a prior
permit revision, consistent with subparagraphs (i) through
(iii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection, so long as the
changes are not modifications under any provision of Title
I of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the emissions
allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a
rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions), provided
that the owner or operator of the CAAPP source provides
USEPA and the Agency with written notification as required
below in advance of the proposed changes, which shall be a

09900HB3341ham002 - 57 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
minimum of 7 days, unless otherwise provided by the Agency
in applicable regulations regarding emergencies. The owner
or operator of a CAAPP source and the Agency shall each
attach such notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
i. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
Section 502 (b) (10) changes without a permit revision,
if the changes are not modifications under any
provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act and the
changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under the
permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of
emissions or in terms of total emissions).
A. For each such change, the written
notification required above shall include a brief
description of the change within the source, the
date on which the change will occur, any change in
emissions, and any permit term or condition that is
no longer applicable as a result of the change.
B. The permit shield described in paragraph(j)
of subsection 7 of this Section shall not apply to
any change made pursuant to this subparagraph.
ii. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
trade increases and decreases in emissions in the CAAPP
source, where the applicable implementation plan
provides for such emission trades without requiring a
permit revision. This provision is available in those
cases where the permit does not already provide for

09900HB3341ham002 - 58 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
such emissions trading.
A. Under this subparagraph(ii) of paragraph
(a) of this subsection, the written notification
required above shall include such information as
may be required by the provision in the applicable
implementation plan authorizing the emissions
trade, including at a minimum, when the proposed
changes will occur, a description of each such
change, any change in emissions, the permit
requirements with which the source will comply
using the emissions trading provisions of the
applicable implementation plan, and the pollutants
emitted subject to the emissions trade. The notice
shall also refer to the provisions in the
applicable implementation plan with which the
source will comply and provide for the emissions
trade.
B. The permit shield described in paragraph(j)
of subsection 7 of this Section shall not apply to
any change made pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of
paragraph (a) of this subsection. Compliance with
the permit requirements that the source will meet
using the emissions trade shall be determined
according to the requirements of the applicable
implementation plan authorizing the emissions
trade.

09900HB3341ham002 - 59 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
iii. If requested within a CAAPP application, the
Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains terms
and conditions, including all terms required under
subsection 7 of this Section to determine compliance,
allowing for the trading of emissions increases and
decreases at the CAAPP source solely for the purpose of
complying with a federally-enforceable emissions cap
that is established in the permit independent of
otherwise applicable requirements. The owner or
operator of a CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP
application proposed replicable procedures and permit
terms that ensure the emissions trades are
quantifiable and enforceable. The permit shall also
require compliance with all applicable requirements.
A. Under this subparagraph(iii) of paragraph
(a), the written notification required above shall
state when the change will occur and shall describe
the changes in emissions that will result and how
these increases and decreases in emissions will
comply with the terms and conditions of the permit.
B. The permit shield described in paragraph(j)
of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend to
terms and conditions that allow such increases and
decreases in emissions.
b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the permit,

09900HB3341ham002 - 60 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
other than those which are subject to any requirements
under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are modifications
under any provisions of Title I of the Clean Air Act,
without a permit revision, in accordance with the following
requirements:
(i) Each such change shall meet all applicable
requirements and shall not violate any existing permit
term or condition;
(ii) Sources must provide contemporaneous written
notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such change,
except for changes that qualify as insignificant under
provisions adopted by the Agency or the Board. Such
written notice shall describe each such change,
including the date, any change in emissions,
pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirement
that would apply as a result of the change;
(iii) The change shall not qualify for the shield
described in paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this
Section; and
(iv) The permittee shall keep a record describing
changes made at the source that result in emissions of
a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable
Clean Air Act requirement, but not otherwise regulated
under the permit, and the emissions resulting from
those changes.
c. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt

09900HB3341ham002 - 61 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary to implement this subsection.
13. Administrative Permit Amendments.
a. The Agency shall take final action on a request for
an administrative permit amendment within 60 days after
receipt of the request. Neither notice nor an opportunity
for public and affected State comment shall be required for
the Agency to incorporate such revisions, provided it
designates the permit revisions as having been made
pursuant to this subsection.
b. The Agency shall submit a copy of the revised permit
to USEPA.
c. For purposes of this Section the term
"administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as a
permit revision that can accomplish one or more of the
changes described below:
i. Corrects typographical errors;
ii. Identifies a change in the name, address, or
phone number of any person identified in the permit, or
provides a similar minor administrative change at the
source;
iii. Requires more frequent monitoring or
reporting by the permittee;
iv. Allows for a change in ownership or operational

09900HB3341ham002 - 62 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
control of a source where the Agency determines that no
other change in the permit is necessary, provided that
a written agreement containing a specific date for
transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and
liability between the current and new permittees has
been submitted to the Agency;
v. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit the
requirements from preconstruction review permits
authorized under a USEPA-approved program, provided
the program meets procedural and compliance
requirements substantially equivalent to those
contained in this Section;
vi. (Blank); or
vii. Any other type of change which USEPA has
determined as part of the approved CAAPP permit program
to be similar to those included in this subsection.
d. The Agency shall, upon taking final action granting
a request for an administrative permit amendment, allow
coverage by the permit shield in paragraph(j) of subsection
7 of this Section for administrative permit amendments made
pursuant to subparagraph(v) of paragraph (c) of this
subsection which meet the relevant requirements for
significant permit modifications.
e. Permit revisions and modifications, including
administrative amendments and automatic amendments
(pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean Air

09900HB3341ham002 - 63 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
Act or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes
of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be governed by
the regulations promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air
Act. Owners or operators of affected sources for acid
deposition shall have the flexibility to amend their
compliance plans as provided in the regulations
promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
f. The CAAPP source may implement the changes addressed
in the request for an administrative permit amendment
immediately upon submittal of the request.
g. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
14. Permit Modifications.
a. Minor permit modification procedures.
i. The Agency shall review a permit modification
using the "minor permit" modification procedures only
for those permit modifications that:
A. Do not violate any applicable requirement;
B. Do not involve significant changes to
existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping
requirements in the permit;
C. Do not require a case-by-case determination
of an emission limitation or other standard, or a

09900HB3341ham002 - 64 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
source-specific determination of ambient impacts,
or a visibility or increment analysis;
D. Do not seek to establish or change a permit
term or condition for which there is no
corresponding underlying requirement and which
avoids an applicable requirement to which the
source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and
conditions include:
1. A federally enforceable emissions cap
assumed to avoid classification as a
modification under any provision of Title I of
the Clean Air Act; and
2. An alternative emissions limit approved
pursuant to regulations promulgated under
Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act;
E. Are not modifications under any provision
of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
F. Are not required to be processed as a
significant modification.
ii. Notwithstanding subparagraph(i) of paragraph
(a) and subparagraph(ii) of paragraph (b) of this
subsection, minor permit modification procedures may
be used for permit modifications involving the use of
economic incentives, marketable permits, emissions
trading, and other similar approaches, to the extent
that such minor permit modification procedures are

09900HB3341ham002 - 65 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
explicitly provided for in an applicable
implementation plan or in applicable requirements
promulgated by USEPA.
iii. An applicant requesting the use of minor
permit modification procedures shall meet the
requirements of subsection 5 of this Section and shall
include the following in its application:
A. A description of the change, the emissions
resulting from the change, and any new applicable
requirements that will apply if the change occurs;
B. The source's suggested draft permit;
C. Certification by a responsible official,
consistent with paragraph(e) of subsection 5 of
this Section and applicable regulations, that the
proposed modification meets the criteria for use
of minor permit modification procedures and a
request that such procedures be used; and
D. Completed forms for the Agency to use to
notify USEPA and affected States as required under
subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
iv. Within 5 working days after receipt of a
complete permit modification application, the Agency
shall notify USEPA and affected States of the requested
permit modification in accordance with subsections 8
and 9 of this Section. The Agency promptly shall send
any notice required under paragraph(d) of subsection 8

09900HB3341ham002 - 66 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
of this Section to USEPA.
v. The Agency may not issue a final permit
modification until after the 45-day review period for
USEPA or until USEPA has notified the Agency that USEPA
will not object to the issuance of the permit
modification, whichever comes first, although the
Agency can approve the permit modification prior to
that time. Within 90 days after the Agency's receipt of
an application under the minor permit modification
procedures or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day
review period under subsection 9 of this Section,
whichever is later, the Agency shall:
A. Issue the permit modification as proposed;
B. Deny the permit modification application;
C. Determine that the requested modification
does not meet the minor permit modification
criteria and should be reviewed under the
significant modification procedures; or
D. Revise the draft permit modification and
transmit to USEPA the new proposed permit
modification as required by subsection 9 of this
Section.
vi. Any CAAPP source may make the change proposed
in its minor permit modification application
immediately after it files such application. After the
CAAPP source makes the change allowed by the preceding

09900HB3341ham002 - 67 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
sentence, and until the Agency takes any of the actions
specified in items(A) through(C) of subparagraph (v)
of paragraph (a) of this subsection, the source must
comply with both the applicable requirements governing
the change and the proposed permit terms and
conditions. During this time period, the source need
not comply with the existing permit terms and
conditions it seeks to modify. If the source fails to
comply with its proposed permit terms and conditions
during this time period, the existing permit terms and
conditions which it seeks to modify may be enforced
against it.
vii. The permit shield under paragraph (j) of
subsection 7 of this Section may not extend to minor
permit modifications.
viii. If a construction permit is required,
pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act
and regulations thereunder, for a change for which the
minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
the source may request that the processing of the
construction permit application be consolidated with
the processing of the application for the minor permit
modification. In such cases, the provisions of this
Section, including those within subsections 5, 8, and
9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on such
applications pursuant to subparagraph(v) of paragraph

09900HB3341ham002 - 68 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
(a) of subsection 14 of this Section. The source may
make the proposed change immediately after filing its
application for the minor permit modification. Nothing
in this subparagraph shall otherwise affect the
requirements and procedures applicable to construction
permits.
b. Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
i. Where requested by an applicant within its
application, the Agency shall process groups of a
source's applications for certain modifications
eligible for minor permit modification processing in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b).
ii. Permit modifications may be processed in
accordance with the procedures for group processing,
for those modifications:
A. Which meet the criteria for minor permit
modification procedures under subparagraph(i) of
paragraph (a) of subsection 14 of this Section; and
B. That collectively are below 10 percent of
the emissions allowed by the permit for the
emissions unit for which change is requested, 20
percent of the applicable definition of major
source set forth in subsection 2 of this Section,
or 5 tons per year, whichever is least.
iii. An applicant requesting the use of group
processing procedures shall meet the requirements of

09900HB3341ham002 - 69 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
subsection 5 of this Section and shall include the
following in its application:
A. A description of the change, the emissions
resulting from the change, and any new applicable
requirements that will apply if the change occurs.
B. The source's suggested draft permit.
C. Certification by a responsible official
consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of
this Section, that the proposed modification meets
the criteria for use of group processing
procedures and a request that such procedures be
used.
D. A list of the source's other pending
applications awaiting group processing, and a
determination of whether the requested
modification, aggregated with these other
applications, equals or exceeds the threshold set
under item(B) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph
(b) of this subsection.
E. Certification, consistent with paragraph(e)
of subsection 5 of this Section, that the source
has notified USEPA of the proposed modification.
Such notification need only contain a brief
description of the requested modification.
F. Completed forms for the Agency to use to
notify USEPA and affected states as required under

09900HB3341ham002 - 70 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
iv. On a quarterly basis or within 5 business days
after receipt of an application demonstrating that the
aggregate of a source's pending applications equals or
exceeds the threshold level set forth within item (B)
of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
subsection, whichever is earlier, the Agency shall
promptly notify USEPA and affected States of the
requested permit modifications in accordance with
subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency shall
send any notice required under paragraph(d) of
subsection 8 of this Section to USEPA.
v. The provisions of subparagraph(v) of paragraph
(a) of this subsection shall apply to modifications
eligible for group processing, except that the Agency
shall take one of the actions specified in items(A)
through (D) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of
this subsection within 180 days after receipt of the
application or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day
review period under subsection 9 of this Section,
whichever is later.
vi. The provisions of subparagraph(vi) of
paragraph (a) of this subsection shall apply to
modifications for group processing.
vii. The provisions of paragraph(j) of subsection
7 of this Section shall not apply to modifications

09900HB3341ham002 - 71 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
eligible for group processing.
c. Significant Permit Modifications.
i. Significant modification procedures shall be
used for applications requesting significant permit
modifications and for those applications that do not
qualify as either minor permit modifications or as
administrative permit amendments.
ii. Every significant change in existing
monitoring permit terms or conditions and every
relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping requirements
shall be considered significant. A modification shall
also be considered significant if in the judgment of
the Agency action on an application for modification
would require decisions to be made on technically
complex issues. Nothing herein shall be construed to
preclude the permittee from making changes consistent
with this Section that would render existing permit
compliance terms and conditions irrelevant.
iii. Significant permit modifications must meet
all the requirements of this Section, including those
for applications (including completeness review),
public participation, review by affected States, and
review by USEPA applicable to initial permit issuance
and permit renewal. The Agency shall take final action
on significant permit modifications within 9 months
after receipt of a complete application.

09900HB3341ham002 - 72 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary, to implement this subsection.
15. Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
a. Each issued CAAPP permit shall include provisions
specifying the conditions under which the permit will be
reopened prior to the expiration of the permit. Such
revisions shall be made as expeditiously as practicable. A
CAAPP permit shall be reopened and revised under any of the
following circumstances, in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Agency:
i. Additional requirements under the Clean Air Act
become applicable to a major CAAPP source for which 3
or more years remain on the original term of the
permit. Such a reopening shall be completed not later
than 18 months after the promulgation of the applicable
requirement. No such revision is required if the
effective date of the requirement is later than the
date on which the permit is due to expire.
ii. Additional requirements (including excess
emissions requirements) become applicable to an
affected source for acid deposition under the acid rain
program. Excess emissions offset plans shall be deemed
to be incorporated into the permit upon approval by

09900HB3341ham002 - 73 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
USEPA.
iii. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit
contains a material mistake or that inaccurate
statements were made in establishing the emissions
standards, limitations, or other terms or conditions
of the permit.
iv. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit
must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with
the applicable requirements.
b. In the event that the Agency determines that there
are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it shall
file a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
for such revocation. In any such proceeding, the Agency

Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing, the
Agency shall forward to USEPA and the permittee a proposed
determination of termination, modification, or revocation
and reissuance as appropriate, in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this subsection. The Agency's proposed
determination shall be in accordance with the record, the
Clean Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this
Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such proposed
determination shall not affect the permit or constitute a
final permit action for purposes of this Act or the

proposed determination to terminate or revoke and
reissue the permit, the Agency shall file a petition
before the Board setting forth USEPA's objection, the
permit record, the Agency's proposed determination,
and the justification for its proposed determination.
The Board shall conduct a hearing pursuant to the rules
prescribed by Section 32 of this Act, and the burden of
proof shall be on the Agency.
ii. After due consideration of the written and oral
statements, the testimony and arguments that shall be
submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue and enter
an interim order for the proposed determination, which
shall set forth all changes, if any, required in the
Agency's proposed determination. The interim order
shall comply with the requirements for final orders as
set forth in Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an
interim order by the Board under this paragraph,
however, shall not affect the permit status and does
not constitute a final action for purposes of this Act

09900HB3341ham002 - 76 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
or the Administrative Review Law.
iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its interim

to terminate or revoke and reissue and does not object,
the Board shall, within 7 days after receipt of USEPA's
final approval, enter the interim order as a final
order. The final order may be appealed as provided by
Title XI of this Act. The Agency shall take final
action in accordance with the Board's final order.
ii. When USEPA reviews such proposed determination
to terminate or revoke and reissue and objects, the
Agency shall submit USEPA's objection and the Agency's
comments and recommendation on the objection to the
Board and permittee. The Board shall review its interim
order in response to USEPA's objection and the Agency's
comments and recommendation and issue a final order in
accordance with Sections 32 and 33 of this Act. The
Agency shall, within 90 days after receipt of such

09900HB3341ham002 - 77 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
objection, respond to USEPA's objection in accordance
with the Board's final order.
iii. When USEPA reviews such proposed
determination to modify and objects, the Agency shall,
within 90 days after receipt of the objection, resolve
the objection and modify the permit in accordance with
USEPA's objection, based upon the record, the Clean Air
Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
d. If the Agency fails to submit the proposed
determination pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection or
fails to resolve any USEPA objection pursuant to paragraph
c of this subsection, USEPA will terminate, modify, or
revoke and reissue the permit.

18. Fee Provisions.
a. A source subject to this Section or excluded under
subsection 1.1 or paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this
Section, shall pay a fee as provided in this paragraph (a)
of subsection 18. However, a source that has been excluded
from the provisions of this Section under subsection 1.1 or
under paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section because
the source emits less than 25 tons per year of any
combination of regulated air pollutants, except greenhouse
gases, shall pay fees in accordance with paragraph (1) of
subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
i. The fee for a source allowed to emit less than
100 tons per year of any combination of regulated air
pollutants, except greenhouse gases, shall be $1,800
per year, and that fee shall increase, beginning
January 1, 2012, to $2,150 per year.
ii. The fee for a source allowed to emit 100 tons
or more per year of any combination of regulated air
pollutants, except greenhouse gases and those
regulated air pollutants excluded in paragraph(f) of
this subsection 18, shall be as follows:

09900HB3341ham002 - 84 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
A. The Agency shall assess a fee of $18 per
ton, per year for the allowable emissions of
regulated air pollutants subject to this
subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection
18, and that fee shall increase, beginning January
1, 2012, to $21.50 per ton, per year. These fees
shall be used by the Agency and the Board to fund
the activities required by Title V of the Clean Air
Act including such activities as may be carried out
by other State or local agencies pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this subsection. The amount of
such fee shall be based on the information supplied
by the applicant in its complete CAAPP permit
application or in the CAAPP permit if the permit
has been granted and shall be determined by the
amount of emissions that the source is allowed to
emit annually, provided however, that the maximum
fee for a CAAPP permit under this subparagraph (ii)
of paragraph (a) of subsection 18 is $250,000, and
increases, beginning January 1, 2012, to $294,000.
Beginning January 1, 2012, the maximum fee under
this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of
subsection 18 for a source that has been excluded
under subsection 1.1 of this Section or under
paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section is
$4,112. The Agency shall provide as part of the

09900HB3341ham002 - 85 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
permit application form required under subsection
5 of this Section a separate fee calculation form
which will allow the applicant to identify the
allowable emissions and calculate the fee. In no
event shall the Agency raise the amount of
allowable emissions requested by the applicant
unless such increases are required to demonstrate
compliance with terms of a CAAPP permit.
Notwithstanding the above, any applicant may
seek a change in its permit which would result in
increases in allowable emissions due to an
increase in the hours of operation or production
rates of an emission unit or units and such a
change shall be consistent with the construction
permit requirements of the existing State permit
program, under subsection (a) of Section 39 of this
Act and applicable provisions of this Section.
Where a construction permit is required, the
Agency shall expeditiously grant such construction
permit and shall, if necessary, modify the CAAPP
permit based on the same application.
B. The applicant or permittee may pay the fee
annually or semiannually for those fees greater
than $5,000. However, any applicant paying a fee
equal to or greater than $100,000 shall pay the
full amount on July 1, for the subsequent fiscal

09900HB3341ham002 - 86 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
year, or pay 50% of the fee on July 1 and the
remaining 50% by the next January 1. The Agency may
change any annual billing date upon reasonable
notice, but shall prorate the new bill so that the
permittee or applicant does not pay more than its
required fees for the fee period for which payment
is made.
b. (Blank).
c. (Blank).
d. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a
special fund to be known as the "CAA Permit Fund". All
Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
shall be deposited into the Fund. The General Assembly
shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
to the Board to carry out their obligations under this
Section. The General Assembly may also authorize monies to
be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State and
local agencies which perform duties related to the CAAPP.
Interest generated on the monies deposited in this Fund
shall be returned to the Fund.
e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
necessary to implement this subsection.
f. For purposes of this subsection, the term "regulated
air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to it under

09900HB3341ham002 - 87 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude the
following:
i. carbon monoxide;
ii. any Class I or II substance which is a
regulated air pollutant solely because it is listed
pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and
iii. any pollutant that is a regulated air
pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard or
regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act
based on the emissions allowed in the permit effective
in that calendar year, at the time the applicable bill
is generated.
19. Air Toxics Provisions.
a. In the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate in a
timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d) of the
Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority to issue
permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean Air Act
and regulations promulgated thereunder, which contain
emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
limitations that would apply to a source if an emission
standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA
pursuant to Section 112(d). Provided, however, that the
owner or operator of a source shall have the opportunity to
submit to the Agency a proposed emission limitation which
it determines to be equivalent to the emission limitations

09900HB3341ham002 - 88 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
that would apply to such source if an emission standard had
been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA. If the Agency
refuses to include the emission limitation proposed by the
owner or operator in a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator
may petition the Board to establish whether the emission
limitation proposal submitted by the owner or operator
provides for emission limitations which are equivalent to
the emission limitations that would apply to the source if
the emission standard had been promulgated by USEPA in a
timely manner. The Board shall determine whether the
emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator or an
alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
provides for the level of control required under Section
112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
appropriate emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
of the Clean Air Act.
b. Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a) or
(e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to the
Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the Board
shall render its decision within 120 days of the filing of
the petition. Any such decision shall be subject to review
pursuant to Section 41 of this Act. Where USEPA promulgates
an applicable emission standard prior to the issuance of
the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall include in the permit
the promulgated standard, provided that the source shall
have the compliance period provided under Section 112(i) of

09900HB3341ham002 - 89 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
the Clean Air Act. Where USEPA promulgates an applicable
standard subsequent to the issuance of the CAAPP permit,
the Agency shall revise such permit upon the next renewal
to reflect the promulgated standard, providing a
reasonable time for the applicable source to comply with
the standard, but no longer than 8 years after the date on
which the source is first required to comply with the
emissions limitation established under this subsection.
c. The Agency shall have the authority to implement and
enforce complete or partial emission standards promulgated
by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d), and standards
promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Sections 112(f), 112(h),
112(m), and 112(n), and may accept delegation of authority
from USEPA to implement and enforce Section 112(l) and
requirements for the prevention and detection of
accidental releases pursuant to Section 112(r) of the Clean
Air Act.
d. The Agency shall have the authority to issue permits
pursuant to Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act.
e. The Agency has the authority to implement Section
112(g) of the Clean Air Act consistent with the Clean Air
Act and federal regulations promulgated thereunder. If the
Agency refuses to include the emission limitations
proposed in an application submitted by an owner or
operator for a case-by-case maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) determination, the owner or operator may

09900HB3341ham002 - 90 - LRB099 10047 MGM 33808 a
petition the Board to determine whether the emission
limitation proposed by the owner or operator or an
alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
provides for a level of control required by Section 112 of
the Clean Air Act, or to otherwise establish an appropriate
emission limitation under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act.
