RE: LSA Document #10-246: Physician Specialty Classes

Dear Senator Young:

On behalf of the Indiana Department of Insurance (Department), I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Department has determined that the promulgation of the captioned rule may not be completed within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. The Department published a notice of intent on April 28, 2010. Since that time, the rulemaking process stalled due to other issues. The Department expects to publish a proposed rule by May 1, 2011, and expects to hold a public hearing by June 1, 2011. In order to provide ample time to review comments received at the public hearing and for the appropriate review times, the Department expects to have the final rule approved by October 31, 2011.

The notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #10-246 as October 31, 2011, is being submitted in a timely manner. January 3, 2011, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Sincerely,

Meggan J. R. Brumbaugh

Department of Insurance
