    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On May 10, 1996, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a petition for
    rulemaking to amend the list of emission units and activities that are exempt from state air permitting
    requirements. The proposal also amends Section 201.146 to establish consistency between the
    exemptions from state permit requirements and the insignificant activities provision of the Clean Air Act
    Permit Program. The petition meets the information requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.121 and
    102.141 and shall therefore proceed to hearing.
    The Agency has also filed a motion asking that the Board waive several requirements which
    govern the filing of a regulatory proposal. Specifically, the Agency asks that it be allowed to submit the
    original and five complete copies of the proposal and four partial copies of the proposal, rather than the
    original and nine complete copies to the Board. Further, the Agency asks that it not be required to
    supply the Attorney General or the Department of Natural Resources with a complete copy of the
    proposal. Lastly, the Agency asks that it not be required to submit documents which are readily
    available to the Board on which the Agency will rely at hearing.
    The Board grants the Agency's motion.
    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 ______________.
