    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On July 18,
    1995,
    Owens Oil Company
    (Owens)
    filed a petition
    for review of an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    final reimbursement determination from the Underground
    Storage Tank Fund.
    The Agency issued a final reimbursement
    decision on June 13,
    1995 accompanied by attachment A which
    contains the stated reasons for deductions. The final
    determination concerns Owens’s site located at 401 North Main,
    Greenfield,
    Greene County,
    Illinois. This matter
    is accepted for
    hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    statutory decision deadline,
    or the decision deadline as extended
    by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
    decision deadline pursuant to
    35
    Ill. Adm. Code 101.105).
    The
    Board will assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings
    consistent with this order,
    and the Clerk of the Board shall
    promptly issue appropriate directions to that assigned hearing
    officer.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
    Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in
    advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
    published.
    After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list,
    a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and,
    in time—limited cases, no later
    than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
    regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
    or deferred decision deadline.
    Absent any future waivers of the
    decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is now
    November 15,
    1995
    (120 days from July 18,
    1995);
    the Board
    meeting immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for
    November
    2,
    1995.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    2
    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.
    The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill.
    Adm.
    Code 1O5.102~require the Agency to file the entire Agency record
    of the reimbursement a~licationwithin 14 days of notice of the
    petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
