    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    C.
    Marlin):
    This matter comes before the Board upon receipt of
    an Agency
    Recommendation dated February 5, 1991.
    The recommendation refers
    to a request from Petitioner, Precision Coatings,
    Inc.
    for a 30
    day provisional variance from the 90—day on—site limitations for
    hazardous wastes set forth
    in 35
    Iii. Adm. Code 722.134(b).
    Upon receipt of the request the Agency issued
    its
    recommendation,
    finding that the hazardous wastes must remain on-
    site for longer than 90 days due
    to unforeseen,
    temporary and
    uncontrollable circumstances and failure to grant the requested
    30-day provisional variance would impose an arbitrary or
    unreasonable hardship on Petitioner.
    The responsibilities of
    the Agency and the Board
    in these
    short-term provisional variances are different from the
    responsibilities
    in standard variances.
    See Ill. Rev.
    Stat.
    1989,
    ch. 1ll~,pars.
    1035(b)
    &
    (C).
    In provisional variances
    it
    is the responsibility oE the Agency
    to make the technical
    determinations and finding of arbitrary or unreasonable
    hardship.
    The Boardts responsibility
    is to adopt a formal Order,
    to assure the formal maintenance of the record,
    to assure the
    enforceability of the variance, and to provide notification of
    the action by a press release.
    Having received the Agency recommendation finding that
    a
    denial o~the request relief would
    impose an arbitrary and
    unreasonable hardship the Board hereby grants Petitioner
    a
    provisional variance from 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b)
    from
    January 17, 1991
    to February
    16,
    1991.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    B. Forcade and J. Theodore Meyer concurred.
