    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On April 6, 1994, the Illinois Attorney General on behalf of
    the People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency, filed a formal complaint naming Clark Foam
    Products, Inc., as a respondent. On the same day, the parties
    filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a
    request for relief from the requirements of Section 31(a) (1) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (Act) that proposed stipulated settle-
    ments be presented at public hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(a)(1)
    (1992).)
    Section 31(a) (2) of the Act provides that 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 stipula-
    tion and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for
    relief from the requirement of a hearing. The Board is required
    to cause notice of the stipulation, proposal and request for relief
    to be published, unless the Board in its discretion, concludes that
    a hearing is necessary. The notice is required to 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 hold a hearing.
    The Board accordingly directs the Clerk to cause publication
    of the required newspaper notice. The Board will reserve ruling on
    the parties’ request until after the statutory 21 days has passed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
