    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Yi):
    On February 24,
    1995 the Union Oil Company of California
    (Unocal) filed a petition for variance from 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    212.322 Existing Process Sources for particular matter emissions
    pursuant to Section 35 of the Environmental Protection Act
    (Act)
    for its Chicago Carbon Plant.
    (415 ILCS 5/35
    (1992).)
    Unocal’s
    facility is located at 317 W. New Avenue, near Lemont, Illinois
    and is approximately 30 miles southwest of Chicago.
    The Board on March 9,
    1995 ordered Unocal to file an amended
    petition to provide supplemental information, or any other
    appropriate motion, on or before April 14,
    1995.
    On April
    7,
    1995 Unocal filed
    a motion for an extension of time to file the
    supplemental information to May 15,
    1995.
    Unocal states that it
    is negotiating with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    and requires additional time to gather the requested information.
    The Board grants Unocal’s motion for extension of time to
    file an amended petition.
    Pursuant to Section 38(a) of the Act
    the statutory due date in this case is June 15,
    1995,
    absent the
    filing of an amended petition or
    a waiver of the decision
    deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.105.
    (415 ILCS
    5/38(a)
    (1992).)
    Since the statutory decision deadline will
    automatically restart upon the filing of the amended petition the
    Board will have sufficient time to deliberate this matter.
    If
    Unocal fails to file either an amended petition or a waiver of
    the decision deadline on or before May 15,
    1995 this matter will
    be dismissed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
