ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J. Anderson):

On March 13, 1984 the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce

(Chamber)

filed a mot.ion for reconsideration of the Board’s

Order of February 29, 1984, which adopted a schedule of

permit and inspection fees.

As provided in that Order, the

regulations establishing the fees were filed with the Secretary

of State as emergency rules effective March 13,

1984.

The

Board has opened Docket No.

R84—7 to address permanent

rules.

In its motion the Chamber indicates that it intends to

testify in favor of an alternative fee structure at the

hearing in R84-7 on March 29,

1984,

The motion specifically

addresses 35 Ill, Adm. Code 718,330(d), which provides for

payment of the fees for the quarter commencing July 1,

1984.

The Chamber

is concerned that the fees could become payable

before the permanent rule

is in place,

The Chamber suggests

three ways by which the Board could avoid this result:

let

the emergency rules expire before July

1; defer the beginning

of the program to the second quarter of fiscal

1985; or,

delay the billing to the end of the first quarter.

Since

the rules have already been filed, any of these actions

would require an amendment,

The Board has already opened

R84-7 for the purpose of adopting a permanent rule and

making any necessary adjustments.

The Board will consider

the Chainber~ssuggestions

in R84~~~7,

and take any indicated

action in that docket,

The motion for reconsideration is denied,

IT IS SO ORDERED,
