RESPONSE TO AGENCY'S MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RECORD
NOW COMES Petitioner. Midwest Generation, LLC, by and through its attorneys, Schiff
Hardin, UP, and responds to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's ("Agency")
Motion for Extension of Time to File Record in the above-captioned matter. stating as follows :
The Agency represents in its Motion that the record in this matter is voluminous
and that, having insufficient staffing of its own to perform the copying, it has had difficulties in
finding a copy service willing to perform the task necessary here . The Agency observes in its
Motion that while many permit appeals are protective in nature and so do not necessarily require
the filing of a record, the complexities in this appeal make it more likely that the record will be
necessary. Finally, the Agency requests an indefinite extension of time in which to file the
record .
2
.
Petitioner agrees that while some issues in this matter may be addressed through
discussion and agreement between the parties, it is premature to determine whether that is true
for any, much less all, of the issues raised in the appeal . Therefore, it is necessary and
appropriate that the Agency file the record in this appeal .
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 15, 2005
Petitioner also understands the Agency's problem in preparing the record tier
filing and does not object to the Board's granting the Agency an extension of time to file the
record. However, Petitioner requests that the Board grant such extension of time until January
26, 2006, with leave to seek a further extension if the Agency has been unable to prepare and file
the record by that time .
4 .
Finally, Petitioner understands that the Agency may seek to reduce its copying
burdens relative to the record through filing fewer than the number of copies mandated by the
Board's rules. The Agency has discussed this with Petitioner, and petitioner has no objection to
the Board granting the Agency reasonable relief from that requirement
.
Respectfully Submitted
