    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    This matter comes before the Board on a motion for continuance filed by
    complainants on September 27, 1996. Complainants seek a continuance to respond to
    Allied-Signal Inc.’s (Allied Signal) September 16, 1996 motion to dismiss.
    Complainants state that following the pending resolution of a similar action before the
    United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), they may voluntarily dismiss
    the instant action against Allied-Signal. Complainants further state that Allied-Signal
    has signed an administrative order, on consent, regarding remediation of the same site
    at issue in this matter (see 42 U.S.C.A. 9606 (1994)), and that the consent order is
    awaiting final approval by the USEPA. Following the USEPA’s final approval,
    complainants assert that they will voluntarily dismiss the instant action against Allied-
    Signal. Therefore, complainants seek a continuance to file a response to Allied-Signal’s
    motion to dismiss until such time as the USEPA approves or rejects the administrative
    consent order.
    The Board hereby grants complainants’ motion to continue until December 2,
    1996, at which time complainants are directed to file either a response to Allied-
    Signal’s motion or a status report. Accordingly, the Board will reserve ruling on all
    pending motions in this matter.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member K. M. Hennessey abstained.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby
    certify that the above order was adopted on the _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a
    vote of _________________.
