RE: LSA Document #11-84 – Addition of 675 IAC 14-4.3-139.1 to amend the energy conservation provisions of the 2005 Indiana Residential Code

Dear Representative Thompson:

On behalf of the Fire Prevention and Building Safety 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 LSA Document #11-84 on February 16, 2011 (DIN: 20110216-IR-675110084NIA). The public hearing on the rule was held on September 16, 2011, and the Commission is considering the comments received at the hearing. The Commission expects to further consider the rule in view of the public comments received and the legal issues and ramifications of the Proposed Rule. The Commission expects that the rule will be approved or deemed approved by the Governor not later than September 30, 2012.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #11-84 as September 30, 2012, is being submitted in a timely manner. October 24, 2011, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Yours truly,

Mara Snyder, Director
