    HEARING OFFICER ORDER
    Summary of Rules
    On March 16, 2000, the Board proposed new procedural rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    101-130. The proposal governs how persons initiate and participate in all proceedings before
    the Board. As the Board explained in the opinion proposing these rules, the Board crafted the
    rules to more efficiently and effectively implement the Illinois Environmental Protection Act
    (415 ILCS 5/1
    et. seq.
    (1998)) and other laws. Upon final adoption, these rules will replace
    the Board’s existing procedural rules and relevant resolutions.
    The Board originally published a proposal for public comment in docket R97-8. In its
    first notice proposal, the Board made numerous changes on its own initiative and in response to
    public comment. To avoid confusion with R97-8, the Board has closed that docket and opened
    this new docket R00-20.
    Hearings
    Two hearings are scheduled in R00-20 (see Notice of Hearings). The purpose of these
    hearings is to allow interested persons to comment or ask questions about the first notice
    proposal. No prefiling is required to participate, although persons who wish to speak at the
    hearing are encouraged to contact the hearing officer in advance.
    Public Comment
    Interested persons may submit public comment to the Board on or before to June 1,
    2000. For this rulemaking, a person who wishes to file a public comment must file one signed
    original with the Clerk’s Office at the following address:
    Dorothy Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
    100 W. Randolph, Suite 11-500
    Chicago, Illinois 60601
    Persons need not file duplicate copies of public comment with the Clerk’s Office. The Board
    will post all comments on the Board’s Web site at:
    www.ipcb.state.il.us/rules/procedural/procedural.htm
    To assist the Board in providing this service, persons with the ability to email their comments to
    the Board are requested to do so. The date of filing, however, will be the date on which the
    Board receives the signed original. Comments should be sent to:
    clerk@ipcb.state.il.us.

    must also serve a paper copy of their comments to everyone on the Service List. Persons who
    file public comment, and are not on the service list, need not serve a copy of their comments to
