ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by R,.C.

Flemal):

Pursuant to Sections 7.2,

13(c), and 22.4(a)

of

the

Environmental Protection Act

(Act), the Board would normally

propose amendments to the Underground Injection Control

(UIC)

regulations semi-annually.

Accordingly,

the Board reserved this

docket for U.S. EPA amendments during the period from January

1

through June 30,

1995.

During this period,

U.S. EPA amended its

UIC rules one time,

as follows:

60 Fed.

Reg.

33932, June 29,

1995

These amendments were limited to thc removal of obsolete or

redundant provisions.

U.S. EPA removed 40 CFR 144.15,

144.23(b) (2),

146.52,

and 148.1(c)(4).

Since none of these

provisions has a counterpart in the Illinois UIC regulations,

no

Board action

is necessary based on this federal action.

For the foregoing reason,

the Board hereby dismisses this

proceeding.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.
