ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On April 23, 1998, Donald Hoing, d/b/a Don’s Service, (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

located at 225 Buchanan Street, Carthage, Hancock 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.
