ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J. Theodore Meyer):

This matter is before the Board on a joint motion for an

extension of stay and a joint status report,

filed on October 28,

1994 by Abbott Laboratories and the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency (Agency).

The parties state that the Agency

anticipates submitting a proposed rule to the Board by October

31,

1994.

The parties further note that the proposed rule would

provide the relief requested by Abbott in its petition for

adjusted standard filed February 14,

1994.

Thus,

the parties

request that the Board stay this proceeding until adoption of

that amended rule.

The motion for stay is granted.

However, we will not stay

this matter indefinitely, pending the outcome of a rulemaking

that has not yet been filed with the Board.

This matter is

stayed until January 12,

1995.

The parties are directed to file

status reports,

either jointly or separately, no later than

January 5,

1995.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
