    such exclusion prior to the date that the CAAPP application
    for the source is due but in no case later than 9 months
    after the effective date of the CAAPP through the
    imposition of federally enforceable conditions limiting
    the "potential to emit" of the source to a level below the
    major source threshold for that source as described in
    paragraph 2(c) of this Section, within a State operating
    permit issued pursuant to Section 39(a) of this Act. After
    such date, an exclusion from the CAAPP may be sought under
    paragraph 3(c) of this Section.
        b. An owner or operator of a source seeking exclusion
    from the CAAPP pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection
    must submit a permit application consistent with the
    existing State permit program which specifically requests
    such exclusion through the imposition of such federally
    enforceable conditions.
        c. Upon such request, if the Agency determines that the
    owner or operator of a source has met the requirements for
    exclusion pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection and
    other applicable requirements for permit issuance under
    Section 39(a) of this Act, the Agency shall issue a State
    operating permit for such source under Section 39(a) of
    this Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated
    thereunder with federally enforceable conditions limiting
    the "potential to emit" of the source to a level below the
    major source threshold for that source as described in
    paragraph 2(c) of this Section.
        d. The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of a
    source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to
    this subsection with reasonable notice that the owner or
    operator may seek such exclusion.
        e. The Agency shall provide such sources with the
    necessary permit application forms.

    the "potential to emit" of the source to a level below the
    major source threshold for that source as described in
    paragraph 2(c) of this Section, thereby excluding the
    source from the CAAPP, when requested by the applicant
    pursuant to paragraph 5(u) of this Section. The public
    notice requirements of this Section applicable to CAAPP
    permits shall also apply to the initial issuance of permits
    under this paragraph.
        d. For purposes of this Act, a permit issued by USEPA
    under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now and
    hereafter amended, shall be deemed to be a permit issued by
    the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act.
 
    4. Transition.
        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
    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 and/or operating permit as
    required for such modification in accordance with the State
    permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act, as amended,
    and regulations promulgated thereunder. The application
    for such construction and/or operating permit 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
    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 subsection 5(j) 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 three 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
    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.
    Unless the Agency notifies the applicant of
    incompleteness, within 60 days of 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 5(g) 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
    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
    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 7(j) 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
    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 7(l) 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
    3(c) 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 paragraph
    1.1(b) 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
    within its CAAPP application emissions information
    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
    under subsection 1.1 or subsection 3(c) of this Section and
    that becomes subject to the CAAPP solely due to a change in
    operation at the source shall submit its 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 7(m) 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
    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
    operation would cause a violation of the standards or
    limitations applicable to the source, unless the CAAPP
    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 Air
    Act, the regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, and
    applicable Board regulations. When monitoring, reporting,
    record keeping, and compliance certification requirements
    are specified within the Clean Air Act, regulations
    promulgated thereunder, this Act, or applicable
    regulations, such requirements shall be included within
    the CAAPP permit. The Board shall have authority to
    promulgate additional regulations where necessary to
    accomplish the purposes of the Clean Air Act, this Act, and
    regulations promulgated thereunder.
        c. The Agency shall assure, within such conditions, the
    use of terms, test methods, units, averaging periods, and
    other statistical conventions consistent with the
    applicable emission limitations, standards, and other
    requirements contained in the permit.
        d. To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect to monitoring, the permit shall:
            i. Incorporate and identify all applicable
        emissions monitoring and analysis procedures or test
        methods required under the Clean Air Act, regulations
        promulgated thereunder, this Act, and applicable Board
        regulations, including any procedures and methods
        promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Section 504(b) or
        Section 114 (a)(3) of the Clean Air Act.
            ii. Where the applicable requirement does not
        require periodic testing or instrumental or
        noninstrumental monitoring (which may consist of
        recordkeeping designed to serve as monitoring),
        require periodic monitoring sufficient to yield
        reliable data from the relevant time period that is
        representative of the source's compliance with the
        permit, as reported pursuant to paragraph (f) of this
        subsection. The Agency may determine that
        recordkeeping requirements are sufficient to meet the
        requirements of this subparagraph.
            iii. As necessary, specify requirements concerning
        the use, maintenance, and when appropriate,
        installation of monitoring equipment or methods.
        e. To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect to record keeping, the permit shall incorporate and
    identify all applicable recordkeeping requirements and
    require, where applicable, the following:
            i. Records of required monitoring information that
        include the following:
                A. The date, place and time of sampling or
            measurements.
                B. The date(s) analyses were performed.
                C. The company or entity that performed the
            analyses.
                D. The analytical techniques or methods used.
                E. The results of such analyses.
                F. The operating conditions as existing at the
            time of sampling or measurement.
            ii.    Retention of records of all monitoring data
        and support information for a period of at least 5
        years from the date of the monitoring sample,
        measurement, report, or application. Support
        information includes all calibration and maintenance
        records, original strip-chart recordings for
        continuous monitoring instrumentation, and copies of
        all reports required by the permit.
        f. To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect to reporting, the permit shall incorporate and
    identify all applicable reporting requirements and require
    the following:
            i. Submittal of reports of any required monitoring
        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
    exceeding any allowances that the source lawfully holds
    under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or the regulations
    promulgated thereunder, consistent with subsection 17 of
    this Section and applicable regulations, if any.
        h. All CAAPP permits shall state that, where another
    applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act is more
    stringent than any applicable requirement of regulations
    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, both
    provisions shall be incorporated into the permit and shall
    be State and federally enforceable.
        i. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
    Section shall include a severability clause to ensure the
    continued validity of the various permit requirements in
    the event of a challenge to any portions of the permit.
        j. The following shall apply with respect to owners or
    operators requesting a permit shield:
            i. The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit, when
        requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph 5(p) 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
            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
        permit unless the permit has been modified to reflect
        such new requirements.
            iii. A CAAPP permit which does not expressly
        indicate the existence of a permit shield shall not
        provide such a shield.
            iv. Nothing in this paragraph or in a CAAPP permit
        shall alter or affect the following:
                A. The provisions of Section 303 (emergency
            powers) of the Clean Air Act, including USEPA's
            authority under that section.
                B. The liability of an owner or operator of a
            source for any violation of applicable
            requirements prior to or at the time of permit
            issuance.
                C. The applicable requirements of the acid
            rain program consistent with Section 408(a) of the
            Clean Air Act.
                D. The ability of USEPA to obtain information
            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 of 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
    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
        requirements and the requirements of this Section.
                A. Under this subparagraph, the source must
            record in a log at the permitted facility a record
            of the scenario under which it is operating
            contemporaneously with making a change from one
            operating scenario to another.
                B. The permit shield described in paragraph
            7(j) 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 7(j) 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
    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
    conditions in the CAAPP permit issued to the source.
        n. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
    Section shall specify and reference the origin of and
    authority for each term or condition, and identify any
    difference in form as compared to the applicable
    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
        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
        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.
            ii. Inspection and entry requirements that
        necessitate that, upon presentation of credentials and
        other documents as may be required by law and in
        accordance with constitutional limitations, the
        permittee shall allow the Agency, or an authorized
        representative to perform the following:
                A. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a
            CAAPP source is located or emissions-related
            activity is conducted, or where records must be
            kept under the conditions of the permit.
                B. Have access to and copy, at reasonable
            times, any records that must be kept under the
            conditions of the permit.
                C. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities,
            equipment (including monitoring and air pollution
            control equipment), practices, or operations
            regulated or required under the permit.
                D. Sample or monitor any substances or
            parameters at any location:
                    1. As authorized by the Clean Air Act, at
                reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring
                compliance with the CAAPP permit or applicable
                requirements; or
                    2. As otherwise authorized by this Act.
            iii. A schedule of compliance consistent with
        subsection 5 of this Section and applicable
        regulations.
            iv. Progress reports consistent with an applicable
        schedule of compliance pursuant to paragraph 5(d) of
        this Section and applicable regulations to be
        submitted semiannually, or more frequently if the
        Agency determines that such more 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
            limitations, standards, and work practices.
                C. A requirement that the compliance
            certification include the following:
                    1. The identification of each term or
                condition contained in the permit that is the
                basis of the certification.
                    2. The compliance status.
                    3. Whether compliance was continuous or
                intermittent.
                    4. The method(s) used for determining the
                compliance status of the source, both
                currently and over the reporting period
                consistent with subsection 7 of Section 39.5 of
                the Act.
                D. A requirement that all compliance
            certifications be submitted to USEPA as well as to
            the Agency.
                E. Additional requirements as may be specified
            pursuant to Sections 114(a)(3) and 504(b) of the
            Clean Air Act.
                F. Other provisions as the Agency may require.
        q. If the owner or operator of CAAPP source can
    demonstrate in its CAAPP application, including an
    application for a significant modification, that an
    alternative emission limit would be equivalent to that
    contained in the applicable Board regulations, the Agency
    shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP
    permit, which shall supersede the emission limit set forth
    in the applicable Board regulations, and shall include
    conditions that insure that the resulting emission limit is
    quantifiable, accountable, enforceable, and based on
    replicable procedures.
    8. Public Notice; Affected State Review.
        a. The Agency shall provide notice to the public,
    including an opportunity for public comment and a hearing,
    on each draft CAAPP permit for issuance, renewal or
    significant modification, subject to Sections 7(a) and 7.1
    of this Act.
        b. The Agency shall prepare a draft CAAPP permit and a
    statement that sets forth the legal and factual basis for
    the draft CAAPP permit conditions, including references to
    the applicable statutory or regulatory provisions. The
    Agency shall provide this statement to any person who
    requests it.
        c. The Agency shall give notice of each draft CAAPP
    permit to the applicant and to any affected State on or
    before the time that the Agency has provided notice to the
    public, except as otherwise provided in this Act.
        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
    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(a) or Section
    7.1 of this Act, the owner or operator shall submit such
    information separately. The requirements of Section 7(a)
    or Section 7.1 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(a) or Section 7.1
    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.
 
    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 8(b) 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 of 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
    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
    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
    conditions are met:
            i. The applicant has submitted a complete and
        certified application for a permit, permit
        modification, or permit renewal consistent with
        subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable,
        and applicable regulations.
            ii. The applicant has submitted with its complete
        application an approvable compliance plan, including a
        schedule for achieving compliance, consistent with
        subsection 5 of this Section and applicable
        regulations.
            iii. The applicant has timely paid the fees
        required pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section and
        applicable regulations.
            iv. The Agency has received a complete CAAPP
        application and, if necessary, has requested and
        received additional information from the applicant
        consistent with subsection 5 of this Section and
        applicable regulations.
            v. The Agency has complied with all applicable
        provisions regarding public notice and affected State
        review consistent with subsection 8 of this Section and
        applicable regulations.
            vi. The Agency has provided a copy of each CAAPP
        application, or summary thereof, pursuant to agreement
        with USEPA and proposed CAAPP permit required under
        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
    paragraphs (a)(i)-(a)(iv) 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,
        the Agency shall notify the applicant of the possible
        denial and the reasons for the denial.
            ii. Within such notice, the Agency shall specify an
        appropriate date by which the applicant shall
        adequately respond to the Agency's notice. Such date
        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
        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
    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.
 
    11. General Permits.
        a. The Agency may issue a general permit covering
    numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for
    acid deposition unless otherwise provided in regulations
    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
        b. The Agency shall identify, in any general permit,
    criteria by which sources may qualify for the general
    permit.
        c. CAAPP sources that would qualify for a general
    permit must apply for coverage under the terms of the
    general permit or must apply for a CAAPP permit consistent
    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.
        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 (a) (i)
    through (a) (iii) 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
    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
            7(j) 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
        such emissions trading.
                A. Under this subparagraph (a)(ii), 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
            7(j) of this Section shall not apply to any change
            made pursuant to this subparagraph (a) (ii).
            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.
            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 (a)(iii), 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
            7(j) 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,
    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 7(j) 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
    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 of
    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
        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 7(j) of this
    Section for administrative permit amendments made pursuant
    to subparagraph (c)(v) 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
    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
            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 subparagraphs (a)(i) and
        (b)(ii) 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 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 5(e) 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 of 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 8(d) 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 of 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
        sentence, and until the Agency takes any of the actions
        specified in subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through (a)(v)(C)
        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 subparagraph 7(j) of
        this Section may not extend to minor permit
        modifications.
            viii. If a construction permit is required,
        pursuant to Section 39(a) 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 14(a)(v). 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
            14(a)(i) 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
        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 5(e) 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 subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of this subsection.
                E. Certification, consistent with paragraph
            5(e), 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
            subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
            iv. On a quarterly basis or within 5 business days
        of receipt of an application demonstrating that the
        aggregate of a source's pending applications equals or
        exceeds the threshold level set forth within
        subparagraph (b)(ii)(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 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
            v. The provisions of subparagraph (a)(v) of this
        subsection shall apply to modifications eligible for
        group processing, except that the Agency shall take one
        of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a)(v)(A)
        through (a)(v)(D) of this subsection within 180 days of
        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 (a)(vi) of this
        subsection shall apply to modifications for group
        processing.
            vii. The provisions of paragraph 7(j) of this
        Section shall not apply to modifications 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.
        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
        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
    shall have the burden of establishing that the permit
    should be revoked under the standards set forth in this Act
    and the Clean Air Act. Any such proceeding shall be
    conducted pursuant to the Board's procedures for
    adjudicatory hearings and the Board shall render its
    decision within 120 days of the filing of the petition. The
    Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue a
    CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
        c. Proceedings regarding a reopened CAAPP permit shall
    follow the same procedures as apply to initial permit
    issuance and shall affect only those parts of the permit
    for which cause to reopen exists.
        d. Reopenings under paragraph (a) of this subsection
    shall not be initiated before a notice of such intent is
    provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at least 30 days
    in advance of the date that the permit is to be reopened,
    except that the Agency may provide a shorter time period in
    the case of an emergency.
        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.
 
    16. Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
        a. When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
    modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
    subsection 15 of this Section, and thereafter notifies the
    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
    Administrative Review Law. The Agency shall forward to
    USEPA such proposed determination within 90 days after
    receipt of the notification from USEPA. If additional time
    is necessary to submit the proposed determination, the
    Agency shall request a 90-day extension from USEPA and
    shall submit the proposed determination within 180 days of
    receipt of notification from USEPA.
            b. i. Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA of a
        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
        or the Administrative Review Law.
            iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its interim
        order to be served upon all parties to the proceeding
        as well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall submit the
        proposed determination to USEPA in accordance with the
        Board's Interim Order within 180 days after receipt of
        the notification from USEPA.
        c. USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
    terminate, modify, or revoke and reissue the permit within
    90 days of receipt.
            i. When USEPA reviews the proposed determination
        to terminate or revoke and reissue and does not object,
        the Board shall, within 7 days of 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
        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.
        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.
 
    17. Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions.
        a. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications
    for affected sources for acid deposition in accordance with
    this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and
    regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by

    and regulations. The Agency shall act on the Phase II acid
    rain permit application and compliance plan in accordance
    with this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and
    regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
    Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
    thereunder. The Agency shall issue the Phase II acid rain
    permit to an affected source for acid deposition no later
    than December 31, 1997, which shall become effective on
    January 1, 2000, in accordance with this Section, except as
    modified by Title IV and regulations promulgated
    thereunder; provided that the designated representative of
    the source submitted a timely and complete Phase II permit
    application and compliance plan to the Agency that meets
    the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
    regulations.
        c. Each Phase II acid rain permit issued in accordance
    with this subsection shall have a fixed term of 5 years.
    Except as provided in paragraph b above, the Agency shall
    issue or deny a Phase II acid rain permit within 18 months
    of receiving a complete Phase II permit application and
    compliance plan.
        d. A designated representative of a new unit, as
    defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, shall submit a
    timely and complete Phase II acid rain permit application
    and compliance plan that meets the requirements of Titles
    IV and V of the Clean Air Act and its regulations. The
    Agency shall act on the new unit's Phase II acid rain
    permit application and compliance plan in accordance with
    this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and its
    regulations, except as modified by Title IV of the Clean
    Air Act and its regulations. The Agency shall reopen the
    new unit's CAAPP permit for cause to incorporate the
    approved Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with this
    Section. The Phase II acid rain permit for the new unit
    shall become effective no later than the date required
    under Title IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.
        e. A designated representative of an affected source
    for acid deposition shall submit a timely and complete
    Title IV NOx permit application to the Agency, not later
    than January 1, 1998, that meets the requirements of Titles

    Agency shall reopen the Phase II acid rain permit for cause
    and incorporate the approved NOx provisions into the Phase
    II acid rain permit not later than January 1, 1999, in
    accordance with this Section, except as modified by Title
    IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
    thereunder. Such reopening shall not affect the term of the
    Phase II acid rain permit.
        f. The designated representative of the affected
    source for acid deposition shall renew the initial CAAPP
    permit and Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with
    this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and
    regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
    Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
    thereunder.
        g. In the case of an affected source for acid
    deposition for which a complete Phase II acid rain permit
    application and compliance plan are timely received under
    this subsection, the complete permit application and
    compliance plan, including amendments thereto, shall be
    binding on the owner, operator and designated
    representative, all affected units for acid deposition at
    the affected source, and any other unit, as defined in
    Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, governed by the Phase II
    acid rain permit application and shall be enforceable as an
    acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of the
    Clean Air Act, from the date of submission of the acid rain
    permit application until a Phase II acid rain permit is
    issued or denied by the Agency.
        h. The Agency shall not include or implement any
    measure which would interfere with or modify the
    requirements of Title IV of the Clean Air Act or
    regulations promulgated thereunder.
        i. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
    affecting allowances or USEPA's decision regarding an
    excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
    the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
            i. No permit revision shall be required for
        increases in emissions that are authorized by
        allowances acquired pursuant to the acid rain program,
        provided that such increases do not require a permit
        revision under any other applicable requirement.
            ii. No limit shall be placed on the number of
        allowances held by the source. The source may not,
        however, use allowances as a defense to noncompliance
        with any other applicable requirement.
            iii. Any such allowance shall be accounted for
        according to the procedures established in regulations
        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
        j. To the extent that the federal regulations
    promulgated under Title IV, including but not limited to 40
    C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter amended, are
    inconsistent with the federal regulations promulgated
    under Title V, the federal regulations promulgated under
    Title IV shall take precedence.
        k. The USEPA may intervene as a matter of right in any
    permit appeal involving a Phase II acid rain permit
    provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
        l. It is unlawful for any owner or operator to violate
    any terms or conditions of a Phase II acid rain permit
    issued under this subsection, to operate any affected
    source for acid deposition except in compliance with a
    Phase II acid rain permit issued by the Agency under this
    subsection, or to violate any other applicable
    requirements.
        m. The designated representative of an affected source
    for acid deposition shall submit to the Agency the data and
    information submitted quarterly to USEPA, pursuant to 40
    CFR 75.64, concurrently with the submission to USEPA. The
    submission shall be in the same electronic format as
    specified by USEPA.
        n. The Agency shall act on any petition for exemption
    of a new unit or retired unit, as those terms are defined
    in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the requirements
    of the acid rain program in accordance with Title IV of the
    Clean Air Act and its regulations.
        o. 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.
 
    18. Fee Provisions.
        a. For each 12 month period after the date on which the
    USEPA approves or conditionally approves the CAAPP, but in
    no event prior to January 1, 1994, a source subject to this
    Section or excluded under subsection 1.1 or paragraph 3(c)
    of this Section, shall pay a fee as provided in this part
    (a) of this subsection 18. However, a source that has been
    excluded from the provisions of this Section under
    subsection 1.1 or paragraph 3(c) of this Section because
    the source emits less than 25 tons per year of any
    combination of regulated air pollutants 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 shall be $1,800 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 for those regulated air pollutants
        excluded in paragraph 18(f) of this subsection, shall
        be as follows:
                A. The Agency shall assess an annual fee of
            $18.00 per ton for the allowable emissions of all
            regulated air pollutants at that source during the
            term of the permit. 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 no source shall be required to pay an
            annual fee in excess of $250,000. The Agency shall
            provide as part of the 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 for the term of the permit. 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 Section 39(a) 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
            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
    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
    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
    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
    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.
 
    20. Small Business.
        a. For purposes of this subsection:
        "Program" is the Small Business Stationary Source
    Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program
    created within this State pursuant to Section 507 of the
    Clean Air Act and guidance promulgated thereunder, to
    provide technical assistance and compliance information to
    small business stationary sources;

    (d) The penalties provided for in this Section may be

    (e) The State's Attorney of the county in which the
violation occurred, or the Attorney General, may, at the
request of the Agency or on his own motion, institute a civil
action for an injunction, prohibitory or mandatory, to restrain
violations of this Act, any rule or regulation adopted under
this Act, any permit or term or condition of a permit, or any
Board order, or to require such other actions as may be
necessary to address violations of this Act, any rule or
regulation adopted under this Act, any permit or term or
condition of a permit, or any Board order.
    (f) The State's Attorney of the county in which the
violation occurred, or the Attorney General, shall bring such
actions in the name of the people of the State of Illinois.
Without limiting any other authority which may exist for the
awarding of attorney's fees and costs, the Board or a court of
competent jurisdiction may award costs and reasonable
attorney's fees, including the reasonable costs of expert
witnesses and consultants, to the State's Attorney or the
Attorney General in a case where he has prevailed against a
person who has committed a wilful, knowing or repeated

this Act, any permit or term or condition of a permit, or any
Board order.
    Any funds collected under this subsection (f) in which the

funds collected under this subsection (f) in which a State's
Attorney has prevailed shall be retained by the county in which

prescribed, interest on such penalty at the rate set forth in
subsection (a) of Section 1003 of the Illinois Income Tax Act,
shall be paid for the period from the date payment is due until
the date payment is received. However, if the time for payment
is stayed during the pendency of an appeal, interest shall not
accrue during such stay.
    (h) In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be
imposed under subdivisions (a), (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), or
(b)(5) of this Section, the Board is authorized to consider any
matters of record in mitigation or aggravation of penalty,
including but not limited to the following factors:
        (1) the duration and gravity of the violation;
        (2) the presence or absence of due diligence on the
    part of the respondent in attempting to comply with
    requirements of this Act and regulations thereunder or to
    secure relief therefrom as provided by this Act;
        (3) any economic benefits accrued by the respondent
    because of delay in compliance with requirements, in which
    case the economic benefits shall be determined by the
    lowest cost alternative for achieving compliance;
        (4) the amount of monetary penalty which will serve to
    deter further violations by the respondent and to otherwise
    aid in enhancing voluntary compliance with this Act by the
    respondent and other persons similarly subject to the Act;
        (5) the number, proximity in time, and gravity of
    previously adjudicated violations of this Act by the
    respondent;
        (6) whether the respondent voluntarily self-disclosed,
    in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section, the
    non-compliance to the Agency; and
        (7) whether the respondent has agreed to undertake a
    "supplemental environmental project," which means an
    environmentally beneficial project that a respondent
    agrees to undertake in settlement of an enforcement action
    brought under this Act, but which the respondent is not
    otherwise legally required to perform.
    In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be imposed
under subsection (a) or paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (5) of
subsection (b) of this Section, the Board shall ensure, in all
cases, that the penalty is at least as great as the economic
benefits, if any, accrued by the respondent as a result of the
violation, unless the Board finds that imposition of such
penalty would result in an arbitrary or unreasonable financial
hardship. However, such civil penalty may be off-set in whole
or in part pursuant to a supplemental environmental project
agreed to by the complainant and the respondent.
    (i) A person who voluntarily self-discloses non-compliance
to the Agency, of which the Agency had been unaware, is
entitled to a 100% reduction in the portion of the penalty that
is not based on the economic benefit of non-compliance if the
person can establish the following:
        (1) that the non-compliance was discovered through an
    environmental audit or a compliance management system
    documented by the regulated entity as reflecting the
    regulated entity's due diligence in preventing, detecting,
    and correcting violations , as defined in Section 52.2 of
    this Act, and the person waives the environmental audit
    privileges as provided in that Section with respect to that
    non-compliance;
        (2) that the non-compliance was disclosed in writing
    within 30 days of the date on which the person discovered
    it;
        (3) that the non-compliance was discovered and
    disclosed prior to:
            (i) the commencement of an Agency inspection,
        investigation, or request for information;
            (ii) notice of a citizen suit;
            (iii) the filing of a complaint by a citizen, the
        Illinois Attorney General, or the State's Attorney of
        the county in which the violation occurred;
            (iv) the reporting of the non-compliance by an
        employee of the person without that person's
        knowledge; or
            (v) imminent discovery of the non-compliance by
        the Agency;
        (4) that the non-compliance is being corrected and any
    environmental harm is being remediated in a timely fashion;
        (5) that the person agrees to prevent a recurrence of
    the non-compliance;
        (6) that no related non-compliance events have
    occurred in the past 3 years at the same facility or in the
    past 5 years as part of a pattern at multiple facilities
    owned or operated by the person;
        (7) that the non-compliance did not result in serious
    actual harm or present an imminent and substantial
    endangerment to human health or the environment or violate
    the specific terms of any judicial or administrative order
    or consent agreement;
        (8) that the person cooperates as reasonably requested
    by the Agency after the disclosure; and
        (9) that the non-compliance was identified voluntarily
    and not through a monitoring, sampling, or auditing
    procedure that is required by statute, rule, permit,
    judicial or administrative order, or consent agreement.
    If a person can establish all of the elements under this
subsection except the element set forth in paragraph (1) of
this subsection, the person is entitled to a 75% reduction in
the portion of the penalty that is not based upon the economic
benefit of non-compliance.
