    AND
    817.102 DEFINITIONS.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R. C. Flemal):
    By order of September 23, 1993, the Board authorized
    publication of a second first notice of these rules. The rules
    appeared at 17 Ill Req. 17644 et seq. (October 15, 1993).
    Certain definitions 1 added in Sections 810.103 and 817.102 were
    followed by a Board note which states:
    The Board has requested that the proponent
    (steel and foundry) industries to provide a
    definition of this term.
    Definitions of these terms were submitted by the proponent at the
    October 1 hearing; no challenge was made to the proposed language
    at the November 19 hearing.
    However, staff of the Joint Legislative Committee on
    Administrative Rules has questioned the fact that no specific
    language was published at first notice. To avoid delaying the
    progress of this rulemaking which proponents would like to have
    concluded as quickly as possible, the Board is today authorizing
    publication of the definitions as submitted by the proponent. As
    the post hearing comment period is not scheduled to close until
    January 18, publication of the new language should not
    appreciably delay Board decisionmaking.
    1 These were definitions for foundry sand, iron slag, steel
    slag, benefically usable waste, low risk waste, and potentially
    usable waste. Proponents have suggested that the “iron slag” and
    “steel slag” definitions be combined into one definition of “slag”.
