    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. C. Marlin):
    Pursuant to the Board’s Order of August 22, 1991, on September
    4, 1991 the parties filed a request for relief from the otherwise
    applicable requirement of Section 31(a) (1) of the Act that proposed
    stipulated settlements be presented at public hearing. Section
    31(a)(2), as enacted in P.A. 87—0134, effective August 13, 1991,
    provides in pertinent part:
    Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision
    (1) of this subsection (a), whenever a
    complaint has been filed on behalf of the
    Agency or by the People of the State of
    Illinois, the parties may filed with the Board
    a stipulation and proposal for settlement
    accompanied by a request for relief from the
    requirement of a hearing pursuant to
    subdivision (1). Unless the Board, in its
    discretion, concludes that a hearing will be
    held, the Board shall cause notice of the
    stipulation, proposal and request for relief
    to be published and sent in the same manner as
    is required for hearing pursuant to
    subdivision (1) of this subsection. The
    notice shall 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 shall hold a hearing
    in accordance with the provisions of
    subdivision (1).
    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.
