(PROCEDURAL RULES

“UP DATE”)

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.

Anderson):

In the process of codifying its Procedural

Rules, the

Board

determined that a certain amount of “up date” of existing rules

would be in order,

and that new rules should be drafted to

implement recent legislation,

including SB 172 and the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Initiation of this contemplated rulemaking

proceeding has been delayed pending receipt of sufficient printed

copies of the codified Procedural Rules to allow for meaningful

public participation in this revisory process.

As copies of the

codified rules are now available this docket is hereby opened.

The

Board

is

in

the

process

of

developing

a

draft

revision

for

public

comment

(and

hearing,

if

such

is

deemed

necessary).

As citizens groups,

environmental law practitioners, the organi~d

bar, and the Board’s Hearing Officers have already evinced

considerable interest

in an up date proceeding, the Board finds

it

appropriate to solicit input prior to issuance of a first

draft.

In the interest of expediting this proceeding, comments and draft

rules

received

by

December

6,

1982

will

he

considered

for

incorporation

into

the Board’s initial draft.

IT

IS

SO

ORDERED.
