ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J. Theodore Meyer):

On January 28,

1994,

petitioner Acme Steel Company

(Acme)

filed a status report in this proceeding.

This status report is

in response to a November 4,

1993 Board order, directing Acme to

file a status report by January 15,

1994.

We note that Acme did

not include a motion for leave to file this report

instanter,

but

we will accept the status report in the interests of taking

further action on this case.

Acme again states that it is working with the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)

in pursuing permanent

relief from the standards at issue in these appeals.

Acme states

that it has prepared a draft petition for adjusted standard and

supporting documentation, which Acme submitted,

in November, to

the Agency for review.

Acme states that the Agency recently

completed its review of those materials and sent comments to Acme

in a January 21,

1994 letter.

Acme estimates that it is prepared

to file the petition for adjusted standard with the Board within

30 days.

Acme recommends that this matter be stayed for 60 days

pending resolution of the adjusted standard petition.

The Board points out that this case was begun in 1991,

and

that we cannot continue to allow the case to linger indefinitely.

Acme is directed to file an updated status report no later than

March 25,

1994.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
