    ORDER
    OF THE
    BOARD
    (by C.A. Manning):
    On March 17,
    1994, the Board granted a Motion to Defer
    Proceedings filed by Citizens Utilities Company of Illinois
    (Citizens).
    The Board also directed Citizens to file a status
    report with the Clerk of the Board on or before Thursday, June
    16,
    1994.
    The report was to indicate the status of the
    negotiations with the USEPA, whether additional time is required
    to complete negotiations, or whether it is necessary to proceed
    with this rulemaking.
    The Board also requested that Citizens
    file the appropriate motion withdrawing the petition for a site-
    specific rule in the event that settlement is reached sooner than
    anticipated.
    On June 15, Citizens filed with the Board a Motion to
    Further
    Defer Proceedings and a Status Report.
    As in the
    original motion to defer, Citizens indicates the company has been
    engaged
    in settlement negotiations and has negotiated a tentative
    settlement of all outstanding issues that relate to Citizens’
    Plant No.1 with the USEPA.
    Citizens again emphasizes that upon
    completion and execution of all necessary settlement documents,
    R81-19 will be moot.
    Citizens now believes that in the past
    ninety days of active negotiations, substantially all material
    issues have been or shortly will be resolved; however, additional
    time will be required to complete negotiations and prepare all of
    the necessary settlement documents.
    As such Citizens requests that the Board defer these
    proceedings for an additional ninety days.
    The motion is hereby
    granted.
    Citizens is directed to file a status report with the
    Clerk of the Board on or before Thursday, September 29,
    1994.
    As
    in the prior report, the second report shall indicate the status
    of the negotiations with the USEPA, whether additional time will
    be required to complete negotiations,
    or whether it will be
    necessary to proceed with this rulemaking.
    In the event that
    settlement is reached sooner than anticipated, Citizens is
    requested to file the appropriate motion withdrawing the petition
    for a site—specific rule.
    Board Member R.C.
    Fleinal abstained.
