    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by M. McFawn):
    This matter is before the Board on a “Motion to Modify Final
    Board Order,” filed by the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency) on August 14,
    1995.
    Solar Corporation (Solar)
    filed a response to the motion on September 1,
    1995.
    Because the
    Agency’s motion is requesting that the Board re—examine
    a final
    Board opinion and order,
    we will treat it as
    a motion for
    r~c~c~rcrirrn
    *
    In its motion, the Agency seeks to modify the language of
    the Board’s July 20, 1995 opinion and order granting the co-
    petition for adjusted standard in this matter.
    The Agency states
    that a misunderstanding has resulted concerning its position
    regarding the environmental and health effects of the proposed
    adjusted standard.
    In its motion, the Agency points out that it
    stated at hearing:
    The Agency believes that the proposed adjusted standard
    will not result in environmental or health effects
    substantially and significantly more adverse than the
    effects than those considered in adoption of
    R93-14
    regulations.
    (Tr. at 10)
    In a motion to correct the transcript filed by Solar on May
    3,
    1995, and agreed to by the Agency, Solar made the following
    correction
    at page 18 of the transcript.
    As the Agency has stated, we believe that this adjusted
    standard will result in some ill effects or adverse
    impact on the environment
    .
    .
    .
    “
    should read
    “...
    this
    adjusted standard will result in
    no
    ill effects or
    adverse impact
    .
    .
    The Agency states in its motion that it considers this
    statement to be
    in error, and that it mistakenly concurred in the
    motion to correct the tran8cript.
    The Agency
    states that it does
    not consider emission of VOM, especially during the ozone season,
    to be insignificant.
    The Agency therefore asserts that the
    statement should properly have been left as “some ill effects”,
    2
    not “no ill effects.”
    Therefore, while the Agency still
    recommends that the adjusted standard be granted,
    it asks that
    page
    8 of the July 20, 1995 opinion of the Board be modified as
    follows:
    The pctitioncrs-
    assert
    that impact to general air quality
    and the effects to the health or environmen~will be
    inc3ignificant based upon the emission data of VOM from the
    adhesives used by Solar4, and that the rcgucstcd adjusted
    standard will not be substantially or significantly more
    adverse than the impact and effects than those considered in
    adoption of RACT regulations. have no adverse impact on
    hcalth or tWo cnvironmcnt.
    In its response to the motion,
    Solar states that, while it
    believes that the relief granted will result in no ill effects or
    adverse impact upon human health and the environment,
    it has no
    objection to the Agency’s proposed modification.
    Because the proposed change will clarify the agreed-upon
    position of the joint petitioners concerning the effect of the
    proposed adjusted standard, the motion for reconsideration is
    granted.
    The Agency’s proposed changes to the final opinion are
    accordingly adopted.
    We note that this will only affect the
    language of the July 20,
    1995 opinion, and will not affect the
    language of the
    July 20,
    1995 final order.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
