ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.

Anderson):

On October 20,

1993,

the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency

(Agency)

filed a motion to extend the time to file the

Agency record until March 1,

1994.’

The Agency asserts that the

petitioner does not object to the Agency’s motion.

The

petitioner filed this permit appeal with the Board on July 21,

1992.

The Board notes that its order of October 7,

1993 included a

directive to the Agency to either file the record by October 18,

1993 or request an extension of the filing date to a date no

later than March

1,

1994.

As that order noted

(as does the

Agency in its instant motion), the Agency had not requested an

extension since the last Board—granted extension of December 31,

1992.

In its motion, the Agency states that it and the petitioner

are engaged in serious discussions.

The Agency further notes

that the petitioner “has indicated that it will submit an

application for a permit by October 17,

1993 which would allow

for the issuance of a permit which would moot this appeal”.

The

Agency further states that,

should this matter be settled prior

to a hearing, the extension will avoid the unnecessary use of

scarce resources in assembling the record.

As the Board’s October

7,

1993 order noted, the petitioner

has granted another waiver until June 30,

1994.

The Board hereby grants the Agency’s motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

The Board notes that this motion was incorrectly directed

to

the

hearing officer.
