    ORDER
    OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On January 15,
    1993, The Grigoleit Company (Grigoleit) filed
    a Joint Status Report, stating that it was in response to a
    November 19, 1992 order of the Board, and a motion to continue.
    At the outset we note that the Board never ordered a status
    report in this matter.
    However, in that this. enforcement action
    is part of a multi—case settlement negotiation,
    as
    more fully
    explained below, the Board will accept the report and motion
    as
    voluntarily submitted.
    At the very least, this will
    serve
    the
    interests of coordinating the status of
    these
    various cases,
    which we suggest was the parties’ intent.
    Grigoleit states that the Illinois EEwironaental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency) authorized Grigoleit to tile its response as a
    joint status report.
    Grigoleit requests the Board to continue
    this matter and require theparties to file a status
    report on or
    before February 15,
    1993.
    In support of its request, Grigoleit
    states that
    it
    and the Agency continue to engage in settlement
    negotiations which would, if successful, culminate in the
    settlement
    of
    this case as well as the following three cases: PcB
    90-135, The Griaoleit Company v. Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency .PCB 92-23, The Gripoleit Com~any
    v.
    Illinois
    Environmental Protection Aaencv and PCB 92-110, In the Matter of
    Trade Secret Claim by The Gripoleit ComDany.
    Grigoleit adds that its written draft settlementwas
    submitted to the Agency on December 6,
    1992, and that the
    Agency
    provided its written response to Grigoleit’s proposal on January
    6,
    1993.
    Grigoleit states that it is preparing a reply to
    the
    Agency and that the parties are continuing their settlement
    negotiations to resolve all four cases currently pending before
    the Board.
    In light of the above, the Board grants Grigoleit’s motion
    to continue.
    The parties are directed to file status reports in
    this matter.
    In that
    the
    Board office will be closed on February
    15,
    such status reports are to
    be received by the Board no later
    than February 16, 1993.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
