RE: LSA Document #10-628 – Emergency Medical Services Commission rule concerning trauma protocols for field triage and transportation decision making

Dear Senator Young:

On behalf of the Emergency Medical Services 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 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 to Adopt a Rule for the captioned document on October 6, 2010 (DIN: 20101006-IR-836100628NIA). This rule is being adopted as required under IC 16-31-2-7(4). In order to ensure that the fiscal impact of the Proposed Rule is based on current accurate information, the Commission may have to take additional time for the final adoption of this rule. Thus, promulgation of this rule may not be completed by October 6, 2011. The Commission expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by October 5, 2012.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #10-628 as October 5, 2012, is being submitted in a timely manner. June 13, 2011, is the two hundred and fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Yours truly,

Mara J. Snyder, Director
