    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G. T. Girard):
    On January 12, 1994, Greater Rockford Airport Authority
    filed a document which referenced a “Motion to Withdraw
    Wrongfully Issued Permitt1. The Board will treat this filing as a
    petition for permit review regarding its Rockford Airport #2
    facility, located in Winnebago County. This matter is accepted
    for hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
    by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
    decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adin.
    Code 101.105). The
    Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct
    hearings. The
    Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue
    appropriate directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent
    with this order.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of
    the Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40
    days in advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may
    be published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list, a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and, in time—limited cases, no later
    than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
    regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
    or deferred decision deadline. In this case, the statutory
    decision deadline is May 12, 1994; therefore the decision due
    date is May
    5, 1994.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date in conformance with the schedule above. The hearing
    officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this
    2
    proceeding as much as possible. The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill. Adin. Code 105.102) require the A~encvto file the entire
    A~encVrecord of the permit application within 14 days of notice
    of the petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion
    volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
