    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
    Order of the Board on Motion to Amend
    (by Mr. Currie):
    Our earlier order required Illinois Power to complete
    the conversion of
    its Havana generating units to oil by May
    31,
    1972, and to submit
    a petition for any extension
    of that
    date that might be required by February
    29,
    1972.
    The company,
    before February
    29,
    filed
    a motion stating that supplier problems
    beyond its control made it possible
    that the May deadline
    could not quite be met,
    and asking that we extend the date for
    filing
    a petition for extension until April
    30, since only
    by that time would the company be certain whether or not it
    would need more time to complete the conversion.
    We asked for
    Agency comment, but none has been received.
    We think the request
    is
    reasonable and hereby grant
    it,
    amending the order of September
    30
    to require the filing of
    an extension request for these units by April
    30,
    1972.
    The
    purpose of the February date was
    to require the company to
    notify us and the Agency early of any such problem, rather
    than raise it at the last minute.
    That purpose has been served
    by the present motion.
    On the facts
    as alleged neither we
    nor
    the company can say today whether or not an extension is
    needed,
    and therefore we shall allow the added time requested
    to file
    a supplementary petition.
    I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board, certify
    that the Board adopted the Order
    on Motion.to Amend this 14th
    day of March,
    1972 by
    a vote
    of 4-0,
    4 —49
