    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On September 15, 1995, Sequa Corporation, Precoat Metal Division, filed
    a petition for permit review regarding its facility, located at 25 Northgate
    Industrial Drive, Granite City, Madison County, Illinois. This matter is
    accepted for hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely manner,
    consistent with Board practices and the applicable statutory decision
    deadline, or the decision deadline as extended by a waiver (petitioner may
    file a waiver of the statutory decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    101.105). The Board will assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings
    consistent with this order, and the Clerk of the 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 location of the hearing at least 40 days in advance of hearing so
    that public notice of hearing may be published. After hearing, the hearing
    officer shall submit an exhibit list, a statement regarding credibility of
    witnesses and all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the
    hearing. Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and, in time-limited cases, no later than 30 days
    prior to the decision due date, which is the final regularly scheduled Board
    meeting date on or before the statutory or deferred decision deadline.
    Absent any future waivers of the decision deadline, the statutory decision
    deadline is now January 13, 1996 (120 days from September 15, 1995); the Board
    meeting immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for December 21, 1995.
        
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the parties fail to
    provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an attempt the hearing officer
    is unable to consult with the parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally
    set a hearing date in conformance with the schedule above. The hearing
    officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as much as
    possible. The Board notes that Board rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.102)
    require the Agency to file the entire Agency record of the permit application
    within 14 days of notice of the petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board's opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
        
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,
    hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the day of
    , 1995, by a vote of .
