IN THE MATTER OF.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REGULATIONS--

EMISSION STANDARDS

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Henss):

On July

16, 1975 the United States Steel Corporation

filed “Motion fo~ Stay” requesting the Board to stay the

effectiveness of certain rules and regulations which had

been adopted by the Pollution Control Board over three years

earlier on April

13,

1972.

United States Steel Corporation

is seeking judicial review of the Regulations and its Petition

for Review

is presently pending in the Appellate Court of

Illinois.

Presumably,

Petitioner’s Motion for Stay would be

for the duration of judicial review and could encompass

an

indefinite extended period of time.

We are not inclined to grant such a delay in pollution

control for the state of Illinois.

The request for delay is

too broad and indefinite for approval of this Board.

A similar

request by United States Steel was denied by the Board on

July

26,

1973.

It is entirely possible that particular

situations might arise while a matter is pending on review

which would make it unreasonable for a prosecution to proceed.

We believe, however, that any such situation will have to be

clearly specified

arid that the stay will, of necessity, be

limited in scope.

Only vague conclusions

and generalities

are offered in supp3rt of the current motion.

it is

Ordered

that

the

Motion

for

Stay

be denied.

I,

Christan

L.

Moffett,
