    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. NcFawn):
    On March 7, 1994, Complainants moved for reconsideration of
    the Board’s order of February 3, 1994, to which respondents filed
    their response on March 18, 1994. Complainants ask that the
    Board reconsider whether “the federal requirements contained in
    Section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know
    Act, (“EPCRTKA”), have been incorporated into the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Act, 415 ILCS 5/1 ~
    Reconsideration is denied. Complainants’ motion contains no new
    argument despite the fact that it cites a new section of EPCRTKA.
    Section 304 of EPCRTKA does not require that the follow-up
    emergency notices sought by complainants’ be provided to the
    public; rather Section 324 of EPCRTKA does, and the requirements
    of that Section were considered by the Board in its February 3,
    1994 order.
    On February 22, 1994, respondents filed a motion to clarify
    the Board’s order of February 3, 1994. Respondents request that
    the Board correct and clarify that the Emergency Preparedness &
    Disaster Services
    (“EPDS”)
    is a division of the Chicago Fire
    Department, one of the other two named respondents in this
    action. In a footnote to the Board’s order, EPDS was incorrectly
    defined as the Local Emergency Planning Committee provided for in
    EPCRTKA.
    Respondents’ motion is granted. Accordingly, the Board
    restates that the complaint is dismissed as to all three parties
    named, including EPDS, a division of the Chicago Fire Department.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
