HEARING OFFICER

ORDER

On March 19, 2009,

the

Illinois

Environmental

Protection Agency

(Agency) filed

a

“Motion

for Expedited

Review”

(Mot.).

Generally, the

Agency

argues

that the Board must

adopt

the proposed

regulations by

September

24, 2009, in order

to avoid the imposition

of various

federal

sanctions.

See Mot.

at 5-6.

In

order

to

avoid

undue delay,

the Board intends

to address

the

Agency’s motion at

its

next

regularly-scheduled meeting

on Thursday,

April,

2, 2009. Any

participant wishing

to

respond

to the Agency’s

motion

is

directed to do

so on or before Monday,

March

30,

2009.

The

“mailbox

rule”

at

35 Ill. Adm.

Code 101.300(b)(2) does

not apply

to this filing. The Board’s

Clerk must receive these

responses

before the close

of business

on Monday, March

30, 2009.

Although documents

may

be filed

electronically

through

the Clerk’s

Office On-Line

(COOL)

from the Board’s

Web site at

www.ipcb.state.il.us,

all

electronic

or approved fax filings

must

be

received

by

the Clerk’s Office

no later

than

4:30 PM on the

due date. Any questions

about

electronic filing

through

COOL

should

be

directed

to the Clerk’s

Office

at

(312)

814-3629.

IT IS

SO ORDERED.
