    ORDER
    OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by C.A.
    Manning):
    On September 5,
    1991, General Motors Corporation, Electro-
    Motive Division
    (“GM”) filed a petition for an air variance for
    its facility located in LaGrange, Illinois.
    Pursuant to
    our
    order of January 20,
    1994, GM and the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency (“Agency”) filed a joint status report on April
    14, 1994.
    On September 15,
    1992, GM submitted comments to the U.S. EPA
    regarding the proposed federal rule applicable to GM’S locomotive
    coating operations. Since that time, the parties have been
    submitting reports to us on the status of this case while U.S.EPA
    considers GM’S comments.
    On March 25,
    1994, U.S.
    EPA
    published
    the final rule in the federal register with an effective date of
    April 25,
    1994.
    Previously, the parties have stated that a hearing in this
    matter may be unnecessary; they still believe this to be the
    case.
    The parties request until May 16,
    1994 to file a status
    report while they determine the next step.
    Accordingly,
    the parties are directed to file a status
    report on or before May 16,
    1994.
    In addition to reporting the
    parties’ status on this matter, they shall also indicate whether
    a hearing will be necessary.
    IT
    IS
    SO
    ORDERED.
