ORDER

OF’

THE I3OARD (by B. Forcade):

On August 20, 1985, the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce

(“15CC”) filed a “Motion to Reconsider Decision”, presumably

today’s decision to proceed to Final Notice in the above—

captioned matter, The motion is denied.

The basis for this motion is “new information” on the costs

of compliance in attainment areas for synthetic organic

chemic~~1

and polymer manufacturing (SOCPM) plants. These cost figures

were presented to the Board during First Notice in Public

Comment

59. Additionally, the ISCC motion asserts that fewer faci1itier~

are located in attainment counties than were originally

aniticipated. Therefore, fewer would be regulated under

the

SOCPM rules. While this may “reduce benefits”, it also reduces

overall costs of compliance. The Board notes that facts showin~j

individualized hardship may be useful in a proceeding for

variance or site—specific relief from the rules in question,

IT IS SO ORDERED

Board, hereby certify ~iat the above Order was adopted on
