    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On May 10, 1996, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a
    petition for rulemaking to amend the list of emission units and activities that are exempt from
    state air permitting requirements. The proposal also amends Section 201.146 to establish
    consistency between the exemptions from state permit requirements and the insignificant
    activities provision of the Clean Air Act Permit Program. The petition meets the information
    requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.121 and 102.141 and shall therefore proceed to
    hearing.
    The Agency has also filed a motion asking that the Board waive several requirements
    which govern the filing of a regulatory proposal. Specifically, the Agency asks that it be
    allowed to submit the original and five complete copies of the proposal and four partial copies
    of the proposal, rather than the original and nine complete copies to the Board. Further, the
    Agency asks that it not be required to supply the Attorney General or the Department of
    Natural Resources with a complete copy of the proposal. Lastly, the Agency asks that it not
    be required to submit documents which are readily available to the Board on which the Agency
    will rely at hearing.
    The Board grants the Agency's motion.
    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
    ______________.
