PCB 04-103

(UST Appeal)

HEARING OFFICER ORDER

On April 22, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the

hearing officer. The parties represented that they anticipate a meeting prior to the next status

conference to discuss the issues in this appeal. The petitioner also represented that it intends to

file a motion to consolidate this matter with PCB 04-119. Finally, the petitioner represented that

it will file a waiver of the statutory decision deadline.

Respondent made an oral motion for an extension of time to file the record. Petitioner

had no objection. The respondent’s motion is granted to the extent that respondent must file the

record 14 days after issuance of notice of a public hearing, or at any earlier time as ordered by

the hearing officer. Additionally, petitioner is free to request the hearing officer to order an

earlier filing of the record if it would expedite a resolution of this matter.

The parties or their legal representatives are directed to participate in a telephonic status

conference with the hearing officer on May 27, 2004, at 9:30 a.m. The telephonic status

conference must be initiated by the petitioner, but each party is nonetheless responsible for its

own appearance. At the status conference, the parties must be prepared to discuss the status of

the above-captioned matter and their readiness for hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
