    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr.
    Henss)
    Petitioner filed variance petition on February

    1974
    and
    at the same time filed
    a Motion requesting entry of an
    order directing
    the EPA to file its Recommendation
    no later
    than February
    15, 1974.
    The dale Petitioner has selected
    for the Agency
    to file its Recommendation
    is just one week
    after
    the filing of the Variance Petition and is just one
    day after the Board meeting at which the Motion was presented.
    Reasonable men could not expect the Agency to file
    a
    Recommendation on such
    a time schedule.
    It would be
    impossible to physically perform the task and give
    any
    attention to the issues formulated by this proceeding.
    If
    Koppers wanted the Agency
    to file
    a Recommendation by
    February
    15,
    1974
    it should have commenced its action earlier.
    IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for the early filing of
    a
    Recommendation be denied.
