    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On November 21, 1996 Land and Lakes Company (petitioner) filed a notice of
    extension of the 35-day appeal period pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection
    Act, relating to the October 23, 1996 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
    determination. On December 2, 1996 the Agency filed its concurrence and a joint notice. The
    Agency requested the extension “to January 21, 1997, or any other date not more than a total
    of 90 days from the date of the Agency's final determination.”
    P.A. 88-690 (SB1724), effective January 24, 1995, amends Section 40(a) which
    governs the permit appeal process to provide:
    the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended
    for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by written notice
    provided to the Board from the applicant and the Agency within
    the initial appeal period.
    As the Board maintains its files by docket number only, the Board will reserve docket
    PCB 97-91 for any appeal which may be filed by petitioner; petitioner is directed to use this
    docket number in any future filing concerning this appeal. In the event that petitioner fails to
    file an appeal on or before January 21, 1997 (the 90th day after October 23, 1996), the Board
    will dismiss the docket as unnecessary. A $75 filing fee will, of course, be required at such
    time as petitioner files such petition.
    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 ___________, 1996, by a vote of
    ______________.
