    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    D.
    Dumelle):
    pursuant to Section 4.01(a)
    of the Administrative Procedure
    Act
    Ill,
    Rev.
    Stat.
    c.
    127, par.
    1004.01(a),
    the Board is
    required to maintain the following:
    1.
    a current description of agency’s organization with
    necessary charts depicting same;
    2.
    the current procedures on how the public can obtain
    information or make submissions or requests on subjects,
    programs, and activities of the agency;
    3.
    table of contents, indices, reference tables, and other
    materials to aid users
    in finding and using the agency’s
    collection of rules currently in force; and
    4.
    a current description of the agency’s rulemaking
    procedures.
    These rules become effective upon filing and need not be
    the subject of hearings, notice, or public comment.
    The intent
    of this requirement appears to be to have one place in the Ill.
    Mm. Code that contains overviews of the various rulemaking
    bodies which can be used by the uninitiated to gain an under-
    standing of what those bodies do, how they do it, and how
    further information may be obtained.
    The Board adopted such rules on April 27, 1984, under docket
    R83-27.
    However, since that time the Board has been appropriated
    funds to establish a Scientific/Technical Support Section which
    will be composed of a co—ordinator, three scientific/technical
    staff,
    an assistant and a secretary.
    This requires the Board to
    amend 35
    Ill. Mm. Code 2175.20 regarding the description of the
    Board staff and 2175 Appendix A which is an organizational chart.
