    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C. A. Manning):
    This complaint was filed on November 19, 1993. On the same
    day, the parties filed a request for relief from the otherwise
    applicable requirement of Section 31(a) (1) of the Act (415 ILCS
    5/31(a) (1)) that proposed stipulated settlements be presented at
    public hearing. Section 31(a) (2) (415 ILCS 5/31(a) (1)) provides
    in pertinent part as follows:
    Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of
    this subsection (a), whenever a complaint has been
    filed on behalf of the Agency or by the People of the
    State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board
    a stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied
    by a request for relief from the requirement of a
    hearing pursuant to subdivision (1). Unless the Board,
    in its discretion, concludes that a hearing will be
    held, the Board shall cause notice of the stipulation,
    proposal and request for relief to be published and
    sent in the same manner as is required for hearing
    pursuant to subdivision (1) of this subsection. The
    notice shall include a statement that any person may
    file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after
    receiving the notice. If any person files a timely
    written demand for hearing, the Board shall deny the
    request for relief from a hearing and shall hold a
    hearing in accordance with the provisions of subdivi-
    sion (1).
    The parties have also filed a motion for expedited review,
    requesting that this case be closed before December 31, 1994.
    The Board notes that, in response to the motion, the Clerk was
    directed to cause publication in advance of the issuance of this
    order. Publication was made on November 24, so that this case
    will be ripe for decisions at the Board’s December 16 meeting.
    2
    The Board presently anticipates rendering its decision on that
    date in the event that no hearing requests are received during
    the statutory 21 day notice period.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, do hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the
    ~
