RE: LSA Document #09-190 – Gas Pipeline Safety

Dear Representative Pelath:

On behalf of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission), I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Commission has determined that the promulgation of the captioned rule concerning gas pipeline safety may not be completed within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. The Commission published its notice of intent in the Indiana Register on March 18, 2009 (DIN: 20090318-IR-170090190NIA).

The Commission recently completed the public hearing and public comment period. Following this, the Commission must assemble the rule packet, which is incomplete without approval from the State Budget Agency. The Commission is currently waiting to receive this approval. Following that, the Commission expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by April 19, 2010.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #09-190 as April 19, 2010, is being submitted in a timely manner. November 23, 2009, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Sincerely,

DeAnna L. Brunner

Assistant General Counsel
