    PCB 89—118
    (Permit—Appeal)
    ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Marlin):
    By Order of August
    31,
    1989,
    the Board requested the parties
    to address whether pages in the Agency record filed August
    28,
    1989 marked
    “confidential” should be maintained by the Clerk
    as
    confidential.
    On September
    14,
    1989, Highland filed a brief
    in
    support
    “of retaining trade secrets
    in Agency record documents”
    accompanied by an edited version of
    the Agency record
    in which
    all trade secret information had been removed or deleted.
    On
    September
    22,
    1989,
    the Agency filed a response and motion to
    substitute Highland’s edited version for
    its original
    filing;
    this response was accompanied by a motion for leave to file
    instanter,
    which
    is hereby granted.
    The edited
    record supplied by Highland will be placed in the
    public files.
    The Agency has requested that the full version of
    the record be returned to
    it, noting that “due to recent
    reformulations by Highland Supply
    in its inks,
    the Agency is in
    the process of granting Highland Supply an operating permit,
    effective upon the dismissal of the pending permit appeal.”
    The
    Board believes
    that the more administratively efficient course
    is
    to retain the full version until such time as petitioner
    seeks
    dismissal of this appeal, as
    it
    is the experience of
    the Board
    that permit negotiations occasionally break down and the matter
    must be adjudicated by the Board.
    The motion
    to substitute is granted
    in part.
    The Clerk
    is
    directed
    to place Highland’s September
    14 edited version in the
    public files, and
    to retain all copies
    of the Agency’s August
    28
    full version in the security files
    for continued confidential
    treatment.
    In the event of
    a motion for dismissal,
    the full
    version will be returned to whichever party so requests.
