    On March
    18,
    1976,
    Respondent
    filed with the Board a Request
    for Appointment of Attorney.
    This request must be denied.
    Although
    Section 32 of the Environmental Protection Act
    (Act)
    grants parties
    to hearings a right to be represented by counsel, the Act does not

    Furthermore,
    the Board
    is not constitutionally mandated to appoint counsel
    for
    Respondent.

    e.g.,
    Goldberg
    v. Kelly,
    397 U.S.
    254(1970),
    Nees

    Securities and Exchange Commission,
