ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M.E. Tristano):

 

On September 2, 2003, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a

proposal for rulemaking pursuant to Sections 27 and 28 of the Environmental Protection Act

(Act), 415 ILCS 5/27 and 28 (2002).

 

The Agency states the proposed clean-up of existing regulation results from comments by

industry. The proposal seeks only to correct typographical errors in the existing “special

formula” in Section 214.184 used to determine sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources.

The Agency states the proposal clarifies the existing formula for calculating sulfur dioxide

emissions from stationary sources.

 

The petition is accepted for hearing. Under the circumstances, this rulemaking proposal

satisfies the content requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.202. While the Agency has not

provided a synopsis of testimony in its proposal, the Board finds it unnecessary here. But, the

Board expects the Agency to attend hearing for the purposes of answering any questions

interested persons may have.

See

415 ILCS 4(f), (i) (2002).

 

The Board directs the hearing officer assigned to proceed expeditiously under the

rulemaking provisions of the Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 28 (2002)) and the Board’s procedural rules

(35 Ill. Adm. Code 102).

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

 

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board

adopted the above order on September 18, 2003, by a vote of 5-0.
