    On July 10,

    General Motors Corporation
    (GM Powertrain)
    (GM)
    filed a petition for permit review regarding its Danville
    Casting Plant,
    located
    in Vermillion County.
    Accompanying the
    petition for review was a motion requesting that Louis
    E. Tosi,
    Esq.
    and Michael
    3.
    O’Callaghan,
    Esq.,
    counsel for GM,
    be allowed
    to appear
    pro hac vice,
    and a motion to stay “all the terms and
    conditions of the previous air operating permit.”
    The Board
    subsequently received a motion to withdraw the motion to stay on
    July 19,
    1995.
    The motion to withdraw the motion to stay is
    granted.
    In its motion for
    pro hac vice
    appearance,
    GM states that both
    Louis
    E. Tosi,
    Esq. and Michael
    3.
    O’Callaghan,
    Esq.,
    are in good
    standing before the Supreme Court of Ohio,
    and that GM will
    submit certificates of good standing from the Clerk of the
    Supreme Court of Ohio.
    The motion to appear pro
    hac vice
    is
    hereby granted.
    This matter
    is accepted for hearing.
    The hearing must be
    scheduled and completed in a timely manner,
    consistent with Board

    (petitioner may file
    a
    waiver of the statutory decision deadline pursuant to 35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code 101.105).
    The Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a
    hearing officer to conduct hearings.
    The Clerk of the Board
    shall promptly issue appropriate directions to the assigned
    hearing officer consistent with this order.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the

    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or
    if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date in conformance with the schedule above.
    The hearing
    officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this
    proceeding as much as possible.
