    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

    Girard):
    On September 14,
    1993, the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency)
    filed this proposal for rulemaking.
    The proposal
    is intended to address permit appeals under the Clean Air Act and
    procedures for review of emissions limitations for a proposed
    case—by--case MAct determination pursuant to Section
    112 of the
    Clean Air Act.
    The proposal represents one part of Illinois’
    submittal of a complete state implementation plan
    (SIP).
    Pursuant to Section 502(d)
    of the Clean Air Act,
    as amended
    in
    1990,
    Illinois
    is to adopt and submit its permit program by
    November 15,
    1993.
    This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the Act
    and is accepted for hearing.
    (P.A.
    87—1213, effective September
    26,
    1992;
    415 ILCS 5/28.5.)
    Pursuant to the provisions of that
    section the Board
    is required to proceed within set time-frames
    toward the adoption of this regulation.
    The Board has no
    discretion to adjust these time-frames under any circumstances.
    Therefore,
    the Board acts today to send this proposal to first
    notice under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act without
    commenting on the merits of the proposal. The following schedule1
    indicates the deadlines by which the Board must act under the
    provisions
    of Section 28.5:

    1993
    First Hearing
    on or before November

    be cancelled
    if unnecessary.
    Hearings will be continued from day
    to day as necessary to complete the subject matter established by
    statute for each set of hearings.

    2
    The Agency has filed
    a motion asking that the Board waive
    several requirements which govern the filing of
    a regulatory
    proposal.
    Specifically, the Agency asks that it be allowed to
    submit the original and five complete copies of the proposal and
    four partial copies of the proposal,
    rather than the original and
    nine complete copies to the Board.
    Further, the Agency asks that
    it not be required to supply the Attorney General or the
    Department of Energy and Natural Resources with a complete copy
    of the proposal.
    Lastly, the Agency asks that
    it not be required
    to submit documents which are readily available to the Board on
    which the Agency will rely at hearing.
    The Board grants the
    Agency’s motion.
    In the interest of administrative economy, the Board directs
    the Hearing Officer to verify that the persons
    on the Notice List
    in this proceeding wish to continue to receive mailings in this
    proceeding.
    ORDER
    The Board directs the Clerk to cause the filing of the
    following proposal for First Notice in the Illinois Register:
