ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J. Theodore Meyer):
This matter is before the Board on petitioner Business and
Professional People for the Public Interest’s
(BPI) response to the
Board’s December 4, 1990 order.
In that order, the Board accepted
BPI’s petition
for rulemaking,
construed BPI’s request for
oral
argument as a request for hearing, and set forth three issues upon
which
it desired
comment.
On December
6,
1990,
BPI
filed
its
comments
in
response
to the Board’s
order.
BPI withdraws
its
request
for
oral
argument,
submits
responses
to
the
three
questions,
and
asks
that
the
Board
adopt
the
proposed
rule
promptly.
Since BPI has withdrawn its request for oral argument, the
Board will not,
at this time, schedule a hearing on this proposal.
In
order
to
allow
all
interested
parties
to
comment
on
the
proposal, however, the Board will establish a comment period.
In
addition to the issues raised in
BPI’s proposal,
and any other
issues which cominenters wish to discuss, the Board requests comment
on three issues:
1.
Whether the photocopiers generally used by those appearing
before the Board are compatible with recycled paper;
2.
Whether the scope of the proposal should be expanded to
include documents filed by organized environmental and trade
groups,
whether
or
not
those
groups
are
represented
by
attorneys; and
3.
What sanctions should be imposed for failure to comply
with required use of recycled paper.
All written comments shall be received by the Board no later than
Friday, January 18, 1991.
In addition to filing comments with the
Board,
copies
of
all
comments shall
be sent to the
following,
pursuant to 35 Ill.Adm.Code 102.320:
