    the decision deadline as extended by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver ofthe statutory

    appropriate directions
    to that assigned hearing officer.

    Absent any future
    waivers ofthe decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is now June 21,

    from February 22,
    1996); the Board meeting immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for
    June 20,

    provide an acceptable
    hearing date or if after an attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the parties, the
    hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing date in conformance with the schedule above.
    The
    2
    hearing officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as much as possible.
