ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by M. McFawn):

On December 1,

1995,

the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency

(Agency)

and AT

& T Communications,

Inc.

(AT

& T)

filed a

notice of extension of the 35-day appeal period pursuant to

Section 40 of the Act, relating to a October 24,

1995, Agency

final reimbursement decision.

The Agency requested the extension

“to January 22,

1996, or any other date not more than a total of

90 days from the date of the Agency’s final determination”.

P.A. 88—690 (SB1724) effective January 24,

1995,

amends

Section 40(c), which governs the underground storage tank appeal

process, to provide:

the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be

extended for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by

written notice provided to the Board from the applicant

and the Agency within the initial appeal period.

As the Board maintains its files by docket number only,

the

Board will reserve Docket PCB 96-121 for any appeal which may be

filed by AT

&

T.

In the event that AT

& T fails to file an

appeal on or before January

22,

1996

(the 90th day after October

24,

1995), the Board will dismiss the docket as unnecessary.

A

$75.00 filing fee will,

of course,

be required at such time as AT

& T files such petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn,
