    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
    On September 16, 1996, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency), filed a formal
    complaint naming as respondent, General Business Forms Inc. (respondent), pursuant to
    Section 31 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act). (415 ILCS 5/31.) The complaint
    alleges that respondent violated Sections 9(a) and (b) of the Act, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.142,
    and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.143 by failing to obtain construction and operating permits for two
    flexographic printing presses and five tinters (415 ILCS 5/9(a) and (b)), and violated Section
    9(a) of the Act, and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.986 for failing to comply with Volatile Organic
    Material (VOM) emission limitations.
    On October 18, 1996, respondent filed a motion for an extension of time to file its
    answer to the complaint until November 18, 1996. The Board granted respondent’s motion for
    an extension of time to file its answer. Respondent’s answer was due on or before November
    18, 1996.

    extension of time for respondent to file its answer. The parties state settlement discussions are
    still continuing. The parties state they intend to meet on December 5, 1996 and that settlement
    will avoid the expenditure of time and effort necessary for both parties and the Board to
    prepare for hearing. The parties request the Board to grant an extension until January 17,
    1997.
    The Board grants the parties joint motion for an extension of time for the respondent to
