On February
7, 1980 the Board proposed a clarification
of the order of December 14,
1978.
This proposal was
published in the Illinois Register on February 29,
1980.
No
public comments were received during the first notice
period.
Second notice was received by the Joint Committee on
Administrative Rules on April 18,
1980.
In response to a
suggestion of the Joint Committee the Board has added an
appendix
to
Rule
204
and
a
reference
to
that
appendix.
This appendix supplies information which may be necessary
for a source to determine its obligations.
It
does not
change that source’s obligations.
No other changes to the
proposal were made.
It is the Order of the Board that the following
corrections be made to the Board order of December 14,
1978:
