    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    C. Marlin):
    This matter conies before the Board upon receipt of an Agency
    Recommendation dated July 9,
    1991.
    The recommendation refers to
    a request from Petitioner, Greater Rockford Airport Authority for
    a 30 day provisional variance from the 90—day on-site limitations
    for hazardous wastes set forth in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 722.134(b).
    Upon
    receipt
    of
    the
    request
    the
    Agency
    issued
    its
    recommendation,
    finding that the hazardous wastes must remain on—
    site
    for longer than
    90 days due to
    unforeseen,
    temporary
    and
    uncontrollable circumstances and
    failure to grant the requested
    30—day
    provisional
    variance
    would
    impose
    an
    arbitrary
    or
    unreasonable hardship on Petitioner.
    The responsibilities
    of the Agency
    and the Board
    in these
    short—term
    provisional
    variances
    are
    different
    from
    the
    responsibilities in standard variances.
    See Ill. Rev.
    Stat. 1989,
    ch. 111½, pars.
    1035(b)
    &
    (C).
    In provisional variances it is the
    responsibility of the Agency to make the technical determinations
    and finding of arbitrary or unreasonable hardship.
    The Board’s
    responsibility is to adopt a
    formal Order,
    to assure the formal
    maintenance of the record,
    to assure
    the enforceability
    of the
    variance,
    and
    to provide notification
    of the action by a press
    release.
    Having
    received
    the Agency
    recommendation
    finding
    that
    a
    denial
    of
    the
    request
    relief
    would
    impose
    an
    arbitrary
    and
    unreasonable
    hardship
    the
    Board
    hereby
    grants
    Petitioner
    a
    provisional variance from 35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code 722.134(b)
    from June
    19,
    1991 to July 19,
    1991.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
