ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C. A. Manning):
On February 14, 1994, Mobil Oil Corporation (Mobil) filed a
petition for variance regarding its facilities located in the
Counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake and Will. Mobil is
requesting variance from 35 Iii. Adin Code 218.586 more commonly
know as the “Stage II” requirements. On the same day Mobil filed a
motion for expedited review and hearing. Specifically, Mobil
states that states that the Agency concurs with the motion for
expedited review. The motion requests that the hearing be held
March 23, 1994 in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The Board
grants the motion to expedite the hearing in this matter consistent
with the statutory constraints of public notice. This matter is
accepted for hearing.
The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory decision
deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.105). The Chief Hearing
Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings and
cause public notice of the hearing. The Clerk of the Board shall
promptly issue appropriate directions to the assigned hearing
officer consistent with this order.
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 expeditiously
as possible and, in time-limited cases, no later than 30 days prior
to the decision due date, which is the final regularly scheduled
Board meeting date on or before the statutory or deferred decision
deadline. In this case, the statutory decision deadline is June
14, 1994; therefore the decision due date is June 2, 1994.
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 104.180) require the Agency to file its
2
recommendation for disposition of the petition within 30 days of
filing of the petition.
This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
