IN THE MATTER OF:

)

AMENDMENTS TO 35 ILL.

 ADM.

)

 R88—14

CODE

 211 AND 215 (Pharmaceuticals)

)

ORDER OF THE BOARD

 (by JD.

 Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board on a petition

for

rulemaking

 filed by Abbott Laboratories on May 3,

 1988.

The

Board notes

 that the procedural requirements relating to

regulatory proposals are set forth at 35

 Ill.

 Adm. Code 102.

Among other

 things,

 those requirements

 include

(1)

 an adequate

statement

 of reasons supporting

 the proposal

 (see Section

102.120(b))

and

(2)

 a petition signed by at least

 200 persons,

(see Section 102.121(a)).

Abbott’s petition states that on May

2,

 1988, Abbott filed

a

petition

 for variance

 (PCB 88—78)

 and that

 “much of

 the rationale

for the proposed rules

 is set forth

 in that petition.”

 Further,

Abbott refers

 to an exhibit

in

 a closed Board

 rulemaking (R86—10)

apparently as support

for

 its regulatory proposal.

 As this

information

was

not submitted with the proposal and made part

of

the record

 in this docket,

 the Board

 is unable

to

 find that

an

adequate statement of

 reasons supporting

 the proposal has been

provided.

Unless and until

 the requirements set forth

at

35

 Ill.

 Adm.

Code 102 have been satisfied,

 the Board will not authorize

a

hearing on the proposal or

 in any other manner proceed.

 I~an

amended proposal curing the above—noted defects

 is not submitted

within 45 days,

 this docket will

 be subject to dismissal.

IT

 IS SO ORDERED.

I,

 Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of

 the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify

 that the above Order was adopted on

the

5cZ

 day of

_________,

1988

by

 a vote

of
