    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On April 27, 1994, J.N. Sweeney Co. filed a petition for
    review of an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”)
    final reimbursement determination from the Underground Storage
    Tank Fund. The Agency issued a final reimbursement decision on
    March 24, 1994, accompanied by Attachment A which contains the
    stated reasons for deductions. The final determination concerns
    J.M. Sweeney Co.’s site located at 3600 Berdnick Road, Rolling
    Meadows, Cook County, Illinois. This matter is accepted for
    hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
    by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
    decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adin. Code 101.105). The
    Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct
    hearings. The Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue
    appropriate directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent
    with this order.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
    Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in
    advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
    published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list, a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and, in time—limited cases, no later
    than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
    regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
    or deferred decision deadline. In this case, the Petitioner has
    filed an open waiver of the statutory decision deadline.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    2
    date in conformance with the schedule above. The hearing
    officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this
    proceeding as much as possible. The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.102) reauire the Agency to file the entire
    A~encvrecord of the permit application within 14 dave of notice
    of the petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
