ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    October
    10, 1974
    In the matter of
    R74—7
    TOXIC SUBSTANCES REGULATIONS
    ORDER DENYING POSTPONEMENT OR SUSPENSION
    OF HEARINGS
    (by Mr. Henss):
    The Illinois Society of Professional Engineers and the
    Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association have filed written
    motions requesting that the Board table the pending proposals
    or suspend hearings or postpone consideration of the proposal
    until such time
    as
    a task force can he formed to draft
    a new
    proposal for the regulation of Toxic Substances.
    The Environmental
    Protection Agency opposes the written motions and objects
    to
    the formation of
    a task force or an advisory board to draft a
    new proposal.
    The motions are denied.
    It was the Environmental Protection
    Agency which submitted the proposal in this matter and the Agency
    has indicated its desire to proceed with the hearings without
    the formation of
    a task force or advisory board.
    The Board
    believes that under the Environmental Protection Act the Agency
    does have that right.
    Under the Act the Agency cannot be precluded
    from making its proposals for the adoption of regulations and
    from proceeding to present evidence in support of
    those proposals.
    The motions are hereby denied.
    I, Christan L.
    Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board,
    do he eby
    certify that the above Ord r was adopted
