    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    C.
    Marlin):
    This matter comes before the Board on Reynolds’ September 4,
    1991, petition for adjusted standard.
    The Board accepted this
    matter for hearing on January 23,
    1992, but delayed assigning a
    hearing officer.
    This delay was necessary because the petition
    could result in a revision to the State Implementation Plan
    (SIP).
    Before a revision to the SIP can be accepted, the USEPA
    must first revise the Federal Implementation Plan (FIP).
    Reynolds has petitioned the USEPA for the revision of the FIP and
    is awaiting the decision.
    On January 28,
    1993, Reynolds filed a
    status report pursuant to a October
    1,
    1992 Board order.
    In its most recent report, Reynolds states that:
    On June 23,
    1992, the United states Environmental
    Protection Agency
    (“USEPA”) published a notice in the
    Federal Register staying the effectiveness of 40 CFR
    52.741(x) and
    (y)
    as they apply to Reynolds to allow
    the USEPA to reconsider the applicability of the rules
    to Reynolds.
    The notice stated that USEPA is
    proceeding expeditiously with the reconsideration.
    The
    USEPA regional office expects to send a proposal to
    USEPA Headquarters by the end of January.
    The Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency concurs with this
    status report.
    Given that the USEPA has stayed the effectiveness of the
    Federal regulations as they apply to Reynolds pending
    reconsideration, the Board hereby stays the proceedings in this
    matter until Nay
    3,
    1993, at which time the parties are directed
    to file a status report with the Board.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board,
    hereby certify th~tthe above order was adopted on the
    ~tcZ
    day of
    _________________,
    1993, by a vote of
    4.
