    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):
    In Monsanto Company v. EPA, PCB 88—194B, Monsanto Company
    (“Monsanto”) filed a December 2, 1988 petition for variance from
    Section 215.966, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 215.966 (1987), of the Board’s
    Air Pollution rules. Monsanto claimed three narrow items of
    information as trade secrets not subject to Section 7 disclosure.
    See Ill. Rev. Stat. ch. 111 1/2, par. 1007 (1988). Accompanying
    that petition was a Statement of Justification. See 35 Ill. kdm.
    Code 120.201(a)(3) & 120.202 (1987).
    The Board has reviewed the Monsanto petition for variance as
    submitted to the Board, the claimed trade secret information
    contained therein, and Monsanto’s Statement of Justification in
    light of Sections 120.103, 120.201, and 120.202 of its
    Identification and Protection of Trade Secrets rules. The Board
    has not received a request for the claimed information nor any
    objection to the claims. See Sections 120.103 & 120.210.
    The Board determines the claimed items of information are
    subject to protection as confidential information. The Board
    will protect this information pursuant to Part 120, Subpart C of
    Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code, until such a time
    as it receives official notification of a final order by a
    reviewing body which reverses this determination, or until such
    time as PCB 88—l94B proceeding has terminated and Monsanto has
    requested the return of all copies of the variance petition
    containing the subject information.
    ORDER
    The Board hereby orders the Clerk of the Board to protect
    these articles pursuant to Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 120,
    and to mark these items with the word “DETERMINED” pursuant to 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 120.310.
