    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On June 17, 1996 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and Laidlaw
    Waste Systems Inc. (petitioner) filed a joint notice of extension of the 35-day appeal period
    pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act, relating to an May 14, 1996
    Agency determination. The Agency requested the extension “to August 12, 1996, 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 (SB 1724) 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 96-255 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 August 12, 1996 (the 90th day after May 14, 1996), the Board will
    dismiss the docket as unnecessary. A $75.00 filing fee will, of course, be required at such
    time as petitioner files such petition.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
