    INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Zeitlin):
    The Petition for Extension of Variance in this matter
    was received by the Board on May 16,
    1975. Petitioner
    Walworth Company, Kewanee Division, requested an extension
    of a prior Variance granted by this Board on December 19,
    1974, in PCB 74—197.
    That Variance, from the requirements
    of Rule 203(b)
    of the Air Pollution Control Regulations,
    extends presently until June 30,
    1975.
    Petitioner here
    seeks an extension until September
    15,
    1975, alleging unavoicible
    delays.
    As was noted at page 8 of the Board’s Opinion in the
    prior case, PCB 74—197, Walworth~sschedule of compliance
    called for meeting the standards of Rules
    203 (b)
    at ~a date
    after which the State of Illinois has committed itself to
    achieving the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
    As
    this Board has noted previously, we are constrained to deny
    Variances which will extend beyond July 31,
    1975, due to the
    recent United States Supreme Court decision of Train
    v. Natural
    Resources Defense Council,
    43 U.S.LW.
    4467
    (April 16,
    1975).
    See,King-SeeieyCo.
    v.
    EPA, PCB 75-159
    (April
    24,
    1975, Interim Order of the Board);
    Great Lakes Carbon Corp.
    v.
    EPA, PCB 75—85
    (May 22, 1975).
    Petitioner here has made
    no showing that
    a grant of this Variance Extension would not ~ead to a
    violation of the national ambient air quality standards,
    or
    to a failure to maintain those standards.
    For the reasons cited above, the Petition for Extension
    of Variance filed May 16,
    1975,
    is inadequate.
    Petitioner
    shall, within
    45 days,
    file an Amended Petition with the
    Board correcting such deficiencies.
    Failure to timely file
    such an Amended Petition shall render the Petition herein

    —2—
    subject to dismissal for inadequacy.
    Ninety day decision
    periods set by statute shall run from the date of filing of
    the Amended Petition required by this Order.
