ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):

On July 6, 1990, Borden Chemicals and Plastics Operating

Limited Partnership filed a petition for extension of a prior

variance, PCB 88—90, which expires on October 6, 1990. On August

17, 1990, the Board received an objection to the grant of

variance. This matter is accepted for hearing. The hearing

officer is required to inform the objector of the hearing

pursuant to 35 Iii. Adm. Code 104.200(b):

The Hearing Officer shall give notice of the

hearing in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code

103.123(b), at least 21 days before the

hearing to the petitioner, the Agency, and

anyone who has filed an objection to the

petition.

The Board notes that there are extremely tight timeframes in

this proceeding. The decision deadline in this matter is

November 3, 1990. The last regular Board meeting to decide this

matter is October 25, 1990. The hearing is presently scheduled

for October 4, leaving 16 working days to receive the transcript

and draft an Opinion and Order. Therefore, the hearing, as

established by the hearing officer, may not be rescheduled

without waiver of decision deadline; transcript of hearing will

be expedited; and no written briefs will be allowed prior to

Board decision. Any deviation from this schedule must be

accompanied by a waiver of decision deadline.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
