    ORDER OF THE BO~W (by B. Forcade):
    On August
    1985, the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency (“Agency”) filed a motion to reopen the record in this
    proceeding concerning the internal offset rule (Section 215.207),
    petroleum solvent dry cleaners (Part 215, Subpart 2) and coke
    manufacture and by—product recovery (Part 215, Subpart U).
    Earlier in this rulemaking, the Agency requested that the
    Board defer action on Section 215.207, pending further study and
    revision by the Agency. Consequently, the merit record needs
    further development in this area. Therefore, a hearing will be
    scheduled.
    The Board, in prior orders, declined to adopt rules
    regulating petroleum dry—cleaners as neither of the two affected
    facilities known to exist in the state would have been subject to
    the rules as proposed. The rules now reproposed by the T~gency
    expand the applicability below the original 100 tons/year
    threshoith Additionally, certain other changes, described as
    “housekeeping’s in nature, have been incorporated in the Agency~s
    proposal. Consequently, a hearing will be scheduled regarding
    these rules.
    The Board, in scheduling additional hearings in these two
    areas, does not make a determination regarding the necessity of
    an economic impact study. That decision is more appropriately
    made by the Department of Energy and Natural Resources.
    Finally, the 1~gencyproposes amending Section 215.500 which
    was mod~f~edat second notice on May 30, 1985, and adopted as
    final on August 21, 1985. The Agency wishes to present
    additional clarifying information regarding the applicability of
    Subpart K to certain emission sources in the coke oven by—product
    recovery category. The Board, in a separate Order dated today,
    proposes the Agency’s amendment to Section 215.500 for first
    notice and will schedule a hearing during the first notice
    comment period.
    The hearing officer is directed to schedule hearings
    consistarit with this Orders The hearing officer may, in the
    interests of
    ti~re
    and efficiency, combine these hearings with
    other
    pending T..atters in this regulatory docket.
