    The Agency issued a final
    reimbursement decision on September 6,

    Attachment A which contains the stated reasons for deductions.
    The final determination concerns Northern’s site located at 1001

    Illinois.
    This

    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    utory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
    ~ waiver

    decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.105).
    The
    Board will assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings
    consistent with this order and the Clerk of the Board shall
    promptly issue appropriate direcrtions to that hearing officer.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the

    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

    in time—limited cases,
    no later

    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 January
    17, 1995;
    the Board meeting immediately preceding the due date
    is scheduled for January 12,1995.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    2
    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.
    The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.102) require the Agency to file the entire
    Agency record of the permit application within 14 days of notice
    of the petition.
