IN THE MATTER OF

PROPOSAL OF THE UNION OIL

)

COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA TO

)

 R84-13

AMEND THE WATER REGULATIONS

)

 (Site-Specific)

ORDER OF THE BOARD

 (by J. Marlin)

By

 letter

 dated

 November

13,

 1989,

 Union

Oil

 seeks

to

“transfer”

 its site-specific rule

 (35 Iii. Adm.

 Code 304.213) to

a successor company.

 It is not entirely clear to the Board exactly

what is being requested.

1)

 If the request is to modify the regulations which have been

filed with the Secretary

 of State,

 such a request cannot be made

by letter or motion, but must be made by the filing of

 a petition

for rulemaking pursuant to Title VII of the Act and

 35 Iii. Adm.

Code Part 102.

 While the requested change may appear to be slight,

the

 Board

 can amend

 rules

 only after completion

 of the regular

rulemaking process.

 This request is therefore denied as improperly

made.

 In the event that a rulemaking petition is received,

 it will

be given a new docket number,

 as the Board does not reopen long—

closed regulatory dockets.

2)

 If the request involves transfer of an NPDES permit only,

this

 :~.s a request which cannot be granted by the Board,

 and should

be made to the Agency.

 Again,

 the request is denied as improperly

made.

ORDERED.

I,

 Dorothy M.

 Gunn,

 Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on the

~

 day of

 7c~e~

 1989 by a vote of
