    Opinion of the Board
    (by Mr. Currie):
    Incinerator seeks a brief extension of the eleven months
    allowed by our order of November 23, 1971,
    #71—324,
    3
    PCB
    167,
    for operation of scrubbing equipment to bring about compliance
    with particulate emission standards.
    As
    a result of damage
    to a component of the control equipment during delivery and of
    unexpected delays in securing an electrical supply to
    power the equipment, installation of the first scrubber was
    expected,
    the new petition alleged,to be completely installed
    by November 1, 1972, testing to commence December 11,
    1972,
    and debugging to be completed by January 31,
    1972.
    By the
    end of this period both scrubbers will be in full operation.
    The Agency confirms that Incinerator has acted with diligence
    to complete its control program and that the relatively
    minor delays experienced were beyond the company’s control.
    We agree the extension should be granted.
    The Agency suggests
    several conditions which we deem reasonable.
