INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
Anderson):
On May 10, 1984 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency), by its attorney Gary P. King,
filed a motion entitled
“Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer to Amended Petition
and Affidavit”.
This Motion requests an extension of the filing
period to June 15, 1984.
On May 11,
1984, the petitioner filed
an objection to the granting of this extension.
The Board is committed to seeing this appeal proceed
expeditiously.
However, the Board also recognizes that this
is
the first appeal of a trade secret determination arising under
the new Part 120 procedures, and that, accordingly, all the
parties involved are confronted with a new procedural
framework,
including short timeframes
for filing pleadings containing all
facts and legal arguments.
Given the newness of these
procedures,
as well as the fact that there
is
little indicdtion
in the record that any prejudice will result from granting an
extension, the
Board
believes an extension of the filing period
is appropriate in this case.
We note that American Toxic Disposal, Inc.
(ATD), the other
respondent in this case, also filed for an extension of this
filing period.
By an Interim Board Order dated May 3, 1983 the
Board granted ATD until June
1,
1984 to file its answer.
This 20
day extension should provide adequate time for the Agency as
we..
as ATD to prepare its answer to the petition.
Therefore, an
extension will be granted for the Agency until June 1,
1984
rather than June 15,
1984 as requested.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
