RE: LSA Document #11-448 – Adds 675 IAC 16-1.4 to adopt the 2012 Indiana Plumbing Code, and amends 675 IAC 18-1.5-4, the 2008 Indiana Mechanical Code. Repeals 675 IAC 16-1.3 and 675 IAC 16-2. Effective 90 days after filing with the Publisher.

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 #11-448 on August 10, 2011, at DIN: 20110810-IR-675110448NIA. The rule substantially updates the Indiana Plumbing Code, and the evaluation of the fiscal impact is taking an extended period of time, longer than the Commission anticipated. In order to ensure that the fiscal impact is accurately evaluated, the Commission expects that the rule will be approved by the Governor not later than February 28, 2013.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #11-448 as February 28, 2013, is being submitted in a timely manner. April 16, 2012, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Yours truly

Mara Snyder, Director
