Ill. Adm. Code 306.373 provides that no petition shall

be

accepted by the Board after January

However,

the Board

notes that this petition was mailed to

the Board’s old address

via certified mail on December 30,

1985.

Given the fact that

the

current

(1982) printed version of the Board’s procedural rules

list the old address,

as well as the holiday~-relatedslow—down of

mail service,

the Board will accept the petition,

finding that

the City has substantially complied with the filing deadline.

Hearing in this matter will

be scheduled as expeditiously as

is

practicable, consistent with the need of the Board and the Agency

to coordinate and prioritize the handling of this and the other

20 recently filed petitions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
