    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by N. McFawn):
    On November 16,
    1995,
    Allied Tube
    & Conduit Corporation
    filed a petition for permit review regarding its facility
    located in Harvey,
    Illinois.
    Included in its permit appeal is a
    request that the Board stay the challenged terms of the permit.
    No response to this request has been filed by the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency).
    Accordingly, we direct
    the Agency to respond to the request for stay within 14 days of
    the date of this order.
    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 Iii.
    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
    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 March
    16,
    1996
    (120 days from November 16, 1995); the Board meeting
    immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for March 7,
    1996.
    2
    We note that on December 4,
    1995, the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    filed a motion to extend time to file
    the Agency record in this matter.
    We direct that motion to the
    assigned hearing officer.
    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.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
