    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On January
    10, 1990,
    the Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    filed a request
    to extend the public comment period
    in
    this matter for an additional
    30 days,
    from January 15 until
    February
    15,
    1990.
    The Agency noted
    that the complexity of the issues
    raised
    in,
    this voluminous rulemaking has strained their resources.
    The
    Agency attached a letter from the Chief
    of the Drinking Water
    Section, Region
    5 of the USEPA, agreeing that the extension for
    the Agency would be beneficial.
    The USEPA also noted
    that
    it
    would nevertheless attempt file its comments by the earlier,
    January
    15,
    1990 deadline.
    The Board grants the Agency’s motion.
    Also,
    the earlier
    submittal of comments by the USEPA will greatly assist
    the Board
    in pacing our own workload in response to
    the comments.
    We also
    note that this same day
    in
    a separate action,
    the Board has
    ordered that a
    “reason for
    delay’1 notice be published in the
    Illinois Register because of the possible applicability of
    provisions requiring such notice contained in Section 7.2 of the
    Environmental Protection Act.
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED.
