    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by E.Z. Kezelis):
    This docket was originally opened on June 2, 1997, with the filing of a proposal for rulemaking
    by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). The Agency’s filing proposed that the
    laboratory accreditation rules currently found in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611 be amended to cross reference
    the Agency’s own laboratory accreditation rules proposed as Part 186. The Board accepted this
    matter for hearing on June 19, 1997, and stayed this proceeding in order to allow the Part 186 rules to
    be finalized.
    On November 21, 1997, the Agency filed a status report in which it reported that finalization of
    the Part 186 rules was expected in December 1997 or January 1998. The Agency reported that it
    would file testimony with the Board at that time as well. A second status report was filed by the Agency
    on July 23, 1998, in which it reported that testimony would be presented to the Board by the end of
    September 1998. No testimony has been filed with the Board and no hearings have been held.
    Based on recent conversations between the hearing officer and the Agency’s counsel, it is the
    Board’s understanding that the Agency intends to submit a revised proposal in this matter, but that the
    date for submittal is uncertain.
    Due to the age and relative inactivity in this rulemaking, the Board, on its own motion and with
    the Agency’s concurrence, dismisses this docket. Dismissal of this rulemaking does not in any way
    preclude the filing of additional proposals by the Agency. Any new or amended proposal filed will
    receive a new docket number.
    This matter is hereby dismissed and this docket is closed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the above
    order was adopted on the 23rd day of September 1999 by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
