ORGANIC EMISSION GENERIC RULE

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.

Marlin):

This matter comes before

the Board on

a Motion for

Reconsideration

filed by Viskase Corporation

(Viskase) on

February 11,

1988.

On February 24,

1988, the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency)

filed

a Motion

to Strike

and Agency’s Response

to Viskase’s motion.

Specifically, Viskase requests the Board

to reconsider

its

February

4,

1988 Order which proposed

a rule for Second Notice.

That proposed rule did not

include

an exemption from regulation

for Viskase.

Viskase claims that an exemption

is warranted by

the facts of the record.

The Agency claims that Viskase’s motion

is procedurally

improper.

Citing Section 103.240

of the Board’s

procedural

rules,

the Agency concludes that Viscase’s motion should be

stricken since

it

is requesting reconsideration of

a Second

Notice Order which

is not a “final order.”

The Board has reviewed the substantive position of Viskase

as presented

in its motion.

The Board

finds that Viskase raises

no new arguments which would persuade the Board

to reconsider

or

vacate

its Order of February

4,

1988.

Viskase’s Motion

for Reconsideration

is denied.

The

Agency’s motion

is moot.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.

J.D. Dumelle,

R.

Flemal, and M.L.

Nardulli dissented.

I,

Dorothy

M. Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted

on

the

Jc~’~-

day of

7_-&~-L

,

1988,

by a vote
