On April 9, 1998, Rock Valley Oil & Chemical Co., Inc. (petitioner) filed a petition

Board shall promptly issue appropriate directions to that assigned hearing officer.
The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the Board of the time and

of hearing may be published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an exhibit list, a
