ORDER OF ThE BOARD

(by J.D. Dumelle):

On August 28,

1986,

the Board entered an order

in this

matter

in

response

to various discovery motions which required

Abbott Laboratories to “pre—submit any evidence

it desires to

enter

into this record

at least 21 days prior

to the hearing

at

which

it

is presented and

Abbott

was

barred from later entering

any other

information

into the record which

is objected to.”

The

intent of that order was

to ensure that Abbott,

which has sole

possession of much

of the relevant information in this matter,

will not be able to present only that information it desires and

only when

it desires

to do

so.

Given the agreea

to format

for hearings whereby hearings

will be spaced by approximately 30 days with the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) having the opportunity

to request a final hearing at least 30 days after Abbott presents

its evidence, the necessity of that order

is negated.

Further,

Abbott and the Agency,

the only major participants in this

matter, have agreed that the order

should,

therefore,

be

vacated.

For these reasons,

the Board’s August 28,

1986 Order

in

this matter

is hereby vacated.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Dorothy M.

Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that

t)~be above Order was adopted on

the

______________

day of

cL~tL~L

,

1987 by a vote

of
