FIRST NOTICE.

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by R.

C. Flemal):

Today the Board sends the Agency’s proposed amendments in

this matter

to first notice.

Certain deadlines imposed by the

Clean Air Act require that the Board quickly reach a final

disposition of this matter.

Moreover, should that disposition be

adoption of the proposed amendments,

it could quite possibly be

required that affected facilities be

in compliance by the same

December 31,

1987, date.

The Board sees this as

a very tight

timeframe within which

the affected facilities might act,

particularly given that a number of time—consuming procedural

steps are yet to be undertaken before final disposition.

The Board accordingly takes

its action today to allow that

the activities associated with first notice may proceed

concurrently with the final submissions of information and

comments which ~he interested entities are expected

to wake over

the next several weeks.

In taking this action the Board believes

that whatever the outcome, final disposition of this matter will

proceed

in as timely a fashion as possible, to the benefit of all

concerned.

The Board cautions that this action in no way

constitutes a determination by the Board on the ultimate merits

of the proposed amendments.

ORDER

The Board hereby proposes the following amendments for first

notice publication.

The Clerk shall cause first notice

publication of these proposed amendments

in the Illinois

Register:

flexographic printing press emissions of volatile

conditions

to 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per year or less

absence of air pollution control equipment or whose

actual emissions

in the absence of air pollution control

equipment would

be less than

to 90.7 Mg (100

tons) per year when averaged

over the preceding three

calendar years.

b)

If an owner

or operator

of

a packaging rotogravure

printing press proposes to comply with the limitations

of Section 215~~4Ol

must provide an overall

reduction

in volatile organic

material emissions of at least 65 percent.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
