RE: LSA Document #09-611 – Concerning the Investigative Fund Fees

Dear Representative Pelath:

On behalf of the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers (Board), I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Board has determined that the Governor's approval of the captioned rule may not be obtained within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Board published its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule for the captioned document on August 12, 2009 (DIN: 20090812-IR-864090611NIA). This rule concerns fees collected by the Board and fees to be collected for the investigative fund for engineers. Prior to publishing the proposed rule, the Board must obtain State Budget Agency approval pursuant to Executive Order 2-89. After the proposed rule is published, the Board must hold a public hearing and consider any comments received prior to adopting the final rule. Thus, promulgation of this rule may not be completed by August 12, 2010. The Board expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by August 12, 2011.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #09-611 as August 12, 2011, is being submitted in a timely manner. April 19, 2010, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Yours truly,

Angela Smith Jones, Director

State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers
