C. Marlin):
This matter is before the Board on Petitioner Stepan
Company’s
(“Stepan”)
Status Report and Motion to Hold Hearings in
Abeyance filed March
13,
1991.
The status report and
accompanying motion advises the Board that Stepan’s appeal of the
Federal Implementation Plan
(FIP)
has now been severed from that
of co-petitioners’
in that federal proceeding,
in order for the
United States Environmental Protection Agency and Stepan to
jointly work toward a federal site specific regulatory proposal
for Stepan.
Stepan believes its state action should now be held
in abeyance while its federal action moves forward.
The current
state docket should be retained, Stepan argues,
for completion of
the state adjusted standard rulemaking.
Stepan advises that
status reports of its progress on the federal level would be
filed every
90 days should the Board grant this motion.
Stepan~smotion is granted.
Stepan shall provide the Board
with
a status report of progress on the federal rulemaking on or
before June
28,
1991 and every 90 days thereafter until the
federal rulemaking
is either granted or denied.
Thereafter, both
parties are ordered to move as expeditiously as possible toward
the completion of this docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
