    ORDER
    OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    Anderson):
    This
    matter comes before the Board on its own motion.
    The
    petition for adjusted standard was filed on September
    4,
    1991 and
    contained a statement that Reynolds Metals Company reserved its
    right to request hearings in this matter.
    The petition was
    accepted at the Board’s September 12,
    1991 meeting.
    The Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency) moved to co—petition on
    October 28, l99L
    The Board granted the Agency’s motion on
    November 7,
    1991.
    The petition requests relief from the Board’s air pollution
    regulations governing emissions of volatile organic material.
    This matter, therefore,
    could result in a revision to the State
    Implementation Plan
    (SIP).
    The Agency’s October 28,
    1991 motion
    states,
    “Reynolds has sought a FIP revision from USEPA
    reflecting the same technological position as submitted
    to the Board.
    USEPA is reviewing the material and
    indicates
    it
    is approvable.
    Because of Section 193 of the Clean Air Act Amendments
    of 1990,
    it is Region V’s position, however, that it
    cannot approve a SIP from
    Illinois which includes rules
    less stringent than the FIP.
    Therefore, USEPA must
    first revise the FIP before Illinois can submit an
    adjusted standard as a supplement to the SIP.”
    One of the federal requirements for approval of a SIP
    revision is that a hearing be held on the matter.
    Therefore,
    this matter is accepted for hearing.
    The Board will defer
    assigning a Hearing Officer
    to this matter,
    however, until
    it
    receives notice from the parties that the FIP has been revised.
    The parties are directed to file status reports every 90
    days,
    the first being due in the Board’s office by March
    2,
    1992.
    IT
    IS
    SO
    ORDERED.
