Under IC 4-22-2-24, notice is hereby given that on December 3, 2007, at 3:00 p.m., at the Indiana Government Center-South, 402 West Washington Street, Conference Center Room 6, Indianapolis, Indiana, the Natural Resources Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to 312 IAC 8-2-3 governing hunting on Department of Natural Resources properties to give to the director of the Division of Nature Preserves the authority to allow hunting on a dedicated state nature preserve without the need of an emergency rule in situations where it has been determined by a biologist that a preserve is being adversely affected.

The proposed rule amendments would not impose requirements or costs under IC 4-22-2-24(d)(3).

Copies of these rules are now on file at the Indiana Government Center-South, 402 West Washington Street, Room W272 and Legislative Services Agency, One North Capitol, Suite 325, Indianapolis, Indiana and are open for public inspection.
