    filed a proposal to amend the
    Board’s solid waste disposal regulations at 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code
    810.103.
    The joint proponents seek clarification via their
    proposal of the relationship between the Board’s solid waste
    disposal regulations and the authorities that flow from the
    Illinois Dead Animal Disposal Act
    (225 ILCS 610/1 et
    seq.).
    Accompanying the proposal
    is a motion to waive 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 102.121(h), which requires that the regulatory proposal be
    accompanied by a petition signed by 200 persons.

    proponents request that the Board accept a Certification of
    Membership from each of the joint proponents in lieu thereof.

    officer assigned to this matter to schedule hearings as required
    pursuant to Title VII the Environmental Protection Act

    least one hearing be held downstate and that the Board avoid
    scheduling hearings from mid-April through June 30 and in
    September—October for the convenience of the agricultural
    The joint proponents are requested at hearing to attempt
    to quantify information described at pp.
    10-11 of the petition
    concerning the number of persons affected and the economic impact
    of the rule change to assist the Board in completing any Analysis
    of Economic and Budgetary Effects which might be required by the
    Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.
