    (by
    E.
    Dunham):
    On May 12, 1994,
    the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency)
    filed this proposal for rule making.
    Pursuant to
    Section 502(d) of the Clean Air Act
    (CAA)
    as amended in 1990
    (42
    U.S.C.
    S7661a(d),
    Illinois is to submit to the United States
    Environmental Protection Agency
    (USEPA), no later than November
    15,
    1993,
    a permit program that meets the requirements of Title V
    of
    CAA
    and the federal regulations promtUgated thereunder
    (40 CFR
    70).
    Illinois adopted Section 39.5 of the Environmental
    Protection Act to implement the Agency’s Clean Air Act Permit
    Program
    (CAAPP) which meets the federal requirements.
    Pursuant
    to Section 39.5(5) (w), the Agency is required to propose
    regulations to the Board defining insignificant activities or
    emission levels no later than March 16,
    1994.
    These regulations
    must be consistent with the federal regulations,
    if any, and
    Section 112(n) (1)
    of the CAA.
    Because of ongoing negotiations,
    the Agency is just now submitting its proposal.
    The Board is
    required to adopt final regulations within nine months of the
    filing of the Agency’s proposal.
    (415 ILCS 5/39.5(5)(w)
    (1992).)
    This proposal was filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of the
    Environmental Protection Act
    (Act).
    (415 ILCS 5/28.5
    (1992).)
    Pursuant to the provisions of that section the Board is required
    to proceed within the set timeframes toward the adoption of the
    regulation.
    The Board has no discretion to adjust these time
    frames under any circumstances.
    Today the Board acts to send
    this proposal to first notice under the Illinois Administrative
    Procedure Act without commenting on the merits of the proposal.
    The following schedule indicates the deadlines by which the Board
    must act as provided in Section 28.5.
    First Notice
    on or before May 25,
    1994
    First Hearing
    on or before July 5,
    1994
    Second Hearing
    on or before August
    4,
    1994
    Third Hearing
    on or before August
    18,
    1994
    Second Notice
    (if 3rd hearing cancelled)
    on or before September 16,
    1994
    (if 3rd hearing held)
    on or before October
    7,
    1994
    Final Adoption or Filing
    21 days after receipt of JCAR
    certification of no objection

    The Board notes that the above dates are the deadlines as
    established by Section 28.5 and do not represent actual hearing
    dates or filing dates.
    While the schedule includes a second and
    third hearing, these hearings may be cancelled if unnecessary.
    The Board will proceed in this matter as prescribed in Section
    28.5 and discussed in the Board’s resolution.
    (See RES 92-2
    (October 29,
    1992 and December 3,
    1992).)
    The Agency has filed a “Motion for Waiver of Certain
    Requirements” with the proposal.
    The Agency requests waiver of
    the following requirements: that the Agency submit the original
    and nine copies of the original and nine copies of the entire
    regulatory proposal, that the Agency submit an entire copy of the
    proposal to the Attorney General and the Department of Energy and
    Natural Resources (DENR), and that the Agency submit copies of
    all documents on which it relied.
    The Agency requests that it be
    permitted to file an original plus five complete copies of the
    proposal and four partial copies.
    A partial copy does not
    include the supporting exhibits.
    The Attorney General and DENR
    have agreed with the Agency that a complete copy of the proposal
    need not be served on them.
    The Agency has provided the Board
    with one copy of some of the documents on which it relied and
    notes that the other documents are readily accessible or already
    in the Board’s possession.
    The Board grants the Agency’s motion.
    In the interest of administrative economy, the Board directs
    the hearing officer to verify that persons on the notice list in
    this proceeding wish to continue to receive mailings in this
    proceeding.

    The Board directs the Clerk to cause publication of the
