    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    Anderson):
    The Board has received a copy of a letter dated October
    1,
    1981, requesting from the Agency a variance from “biohazardous
    waste regulations” for its 47 member hospitals.
    The Board con-
    strues this as a petition to the Board for variance from some or
    all of the rules contained in Part IX of Chapter
    9:
    Special Waste.
    This petition,
    generally,
    fails to contain the information
    required by Procedural Rule 401; petitioner should reference this
    Rule in preparing its amended petition.
    The Board further remarks that the 47 hospitals have not been
    named,
    and that the specific facts required by Procedural Rule
    401(b) have not been provided concerning each individual hospital
    and its individual circumstances, efforts towards compliance,
    etc.
    Petitioner
    is advised not to place undue reliance on the petition
    filed in Mercy Hospital et al.
    v.
    IEPA, PCB 80—218.
    (Final Order,
    June 10,
    1981)
    in determining compliance with the requirements of
    Rule 401.
    The unique circumstances under which that petition was
    accepted as sufficient no longer exist.
    If an amended petition curing the noted deficiencies is not
    filed within 45 days of the date of this Order,
    this petition will
    be subject to dismissal.
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on
    the ~
    day of
