    (UST - Appeal
    Ninety-Day Extension)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On May 23, 1996 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and Shell Oil
    Products Company (Shell) filed a joint notice of extension of the 35-day appeal period pursuant to
    Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act, relating to an April 5, 1996 Agency
    determination. The Agency requested the extension “to July 18, 1996, or any other date not more
    than a total of 90 days from the date of the Agency’s final determination.”
    P.A. 88-690 (SB1724) effective January 24, 1995 amends Section 40(a), which governs the
    underground storage tank appeal process, to provide:
    the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended for a
    period of time not to exceed 90 days by written notice provided to
    the Board from the applicant and the Agency within the initial appeal
    period.
    As the Board maintains its files by docket number only, the Board will reserve docket PCB
    96-241 for any appeal which may be filed by petitioner; petitioner is directed to use this docket
    number in any future filing concerning this appeal. In the event that petitioner fails to file an
    appeal on or before July 18, 1996 (the 90th day after April 19, 1996), the Board will dismiss the
    docket as unnecessary. A $75.00 filing fee will, of course, be required at such time as petitioner
    files such petition.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    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 ______________.
