    (Rulemaking)
    CODE 201,
    211, AND 215
    ORDER OF THE
    BOARD
    (by J.D. Dumelle):
    This matter comes before the Board upon its own motion.
    The
    four
    scheduled days of
    hearing
    have
    been held,
    and a
    fifth
    hearing date,
    January
    19, 1990,
    has been established on the
    record by the hearing officer.
    Noting that the United States
    Environmental Protection Agency
    (USEPA) had stated at hearing
    that
    it would send to the Board
    a copy of
    the documentation
    supporting USEPA’s proposed parallel rulemaking,
    the hearing
    officer continued the hearing to permit
    the introduction of
    this
    information and to afford interested participants the opportunity
    to comment upon it.
    While the Board agrees with this action,
    it notes its
    continuing concern that the procedural schedule set forth
    in the
    First Notice Opinion must and will be adhered
    to.
    That schedule
    provided as follows:
    January,
    1990
    Post hearing comment period;
    EcIS hearing
    if Board Requests
    EcIS
    February, 1990
    Board deliberation and
    preparation of second notice
    Opinion and Order
    March
    8,
    1990
    Adoption of second notice at
    regular Board meeting
    May
    24, 1990
    Adoption of Final Order
    Although the Board has previously determined that an EcIS need
    not
    be prepared,
    the Board noted its belief that economic
    information would
    be forthcoming at hearing and requested the
    Department
    of Energy and Natural Resources
    (DENR)
    to remain an
    active participant.
    The Board
    is aware
    that DENR
    is diligently
    attempting
    to satisfy this request, and specifically requests
    each participant
    to give DENR its full cooperation.

    —2—
    Moreover,
    the Board specifically requests that DENR provide
    all additional economic information
    it
    has available on
    or before
    the January 19,
    1990 hearing.
    So long a~
    the
    economic
    information is submitted before the close
    of
    hearing on January
    19,
    1990, the public will have an opportunity to comment during
    the post-hearing comment period.
    The Board does not believe that
    the above—noted schedule permits any further continuation of the
    hearing.
    Finally,
    the Board believes
    it wise
    to set a post—hearing
    comment schedule at
    this time.
    Post—hearing comments shall be
    filed
    no later than Friday, February
    9,
    1990.
    This date affords
    21 days from the date of the hearing for participants to prepare
    and file their comments and approximately
    30 days thereafter
    for
    the Board to deliberate and
    to
    meet the scheduled date of March
    8,
    1990 for Second Notice.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I,
    Dorothy
    M.
    Gunri,

    of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify that ~he above Order was adopted on
    the
