The director shall give priority to consideration of the hearing examiner's report and recommendation and shall not await written objections of the parties before issuing a decision. To the extent that other rules of this chapter conflict with this rule or would cause delay in an emergency adjudication hearing, the other rules shall not be applicable to adjudication proceedings under this rule.

(B) Proceedings pursuant to the declaration of an air pollution emergency under section 3704.032 of the Revised Code shall not be subject to this chapter.
