    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by 3. Theodore Meyer):
    This matter is before the Board on a September 18, 1989
    petition for extension and modification of variance, f_led by
    Roadmaster Corporation. On September 28, 1989, the Board issued
    an order construing the petition for variance as a motion for
    modification. Roadmaster seeks an extension of the variance
    granted by the Board on September 8, 1988. That variance, which
    expired on September 30, 1989, allowed Roadmaster an exemption
    from 35 Iii. Adm. Code 215.204(j)(3) for volatile organic
    material (VOM) emissions from its flowcoaters. Roadmaster has
    also filed for a site—specific rule change for these two
    flowcoaters in R88—19. On July 13, 1989, the Board proposed for
    first notice the site—specific relief sought by Roadrnaster in
    R88—19, with certain conditions. Roadma~ternow seeks an
    extension of its variance pending the completion of the
    rulemaking.
    The Agency has not formally responded to Roadmaster’s
    motion, but has indicated that it neither supports or opposes the
    request.
    Because Roadmaster’s site-specific rule is in the rulemaking
    process, the Board will grant Roadmaster’s motion for extension
    of the variance granted on September 8, 1988. The variance
    extension is for one year or until the completion of the
    rulemaking, whichever occurs first. The variance will be subject
    to the same conditions as were previously imposed. The Board
    notes that it has retained all conditions in the following order,
    it assumes that the conditions which are now out-of-date have
    been fulfilled.
    ORDER
    Petitioner, Roadmaster Corporation, is hereby granted
    variance from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 215.204(j) until October 18,

    period, Roadmaster is informed by paint
    manufacturers that a coating material for
    the white flowcoater cannot be

    strategy during the term of the variance
    and be required to initiate the strategy
    by June 30, 1989.
