    On March 13, 1998, L. Keller Oil Properties, Inc. (petitioner) filed a petition for
    review of an Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) final determination regarding eligibility
    for reimbursement from the Underground Storage Tank Fund. The OSFM issued a final
    reimbursement decision on February 18, 1998. The final determination concerns petitioner’s
    site located at 1106 West Fayette, Effingham, Effingham County, Illinois. This matter is
    accepted for hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely manner. The Board will
    assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings consistent with this order, and the Clerk of the
    Board shall promptly issue appropriate directions to that assigned hearing officer.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the Board of the time and
    location of the hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing so that a 21-day public notice
    of hearing may be published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an exhibit list, a
    statement regarding credibility of witnesses, and all actual exhibits to the Board within five
    days of the hearing.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the parties fail to provide an
    acceptable hearing date or if after an attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing date in conformance with the
    schedule above. The hearing officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding
    as much as possible.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
