    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by E.Z. Kezelis):
    On March 14, 2000, BEMA Film Systems, Inc. (BEMA), filed this petition for an
    adjusted standard pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act)
    (415 ILCS 5/28.1 (1998)). BEMA requests that the Board grant an adjusted standard from 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 218.401(a), (b), and (c), as those rules apply to the emissions of volatile organic
    material from BEMA’s operation of two central-impression flexographic printing presses at its
    facility located in Elmhurst, DuPage County, Illinois.
    Section 28.1 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.711 require publication of a notice of an
    adjusted standard proceeding in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the
    petitioner’s activity. The notice must be published within 14 days of the filing of the petition. On March
    28, 2000, BEMA filed a “Certificate of Publication,” indicating that notice of its petition was published
    in the
    Chicago Tribune
    on March 25, 2000.
    The Board finds that the notice meets the requirements of Section 28.1 of the Act and 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code
    106.711,
    and accepts this matter for hearing. Hearing is to be scheduled and completed in
    a timely manner. The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the Board of the time and
    location of hearing at least 40 days in advance of hearing so that a 30-day public notice of hearing may
    be published. Unless otherwise ordered by the hearing officer, the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency shall file a response, including its recommendations concerning the Board’s proposed action on
    this petition, within 45 days of service of the petition. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.505(a).
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the above
    order was adopted on the 6th day of April 2000 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
