RE: LSA Document #11-683 – Adds 675 IAC 28-1-5 to add the 2010 edition of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, and make conforming changes. Repeals 675 IAC 13-1-8. Effective 30 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 #11-683 on November 16, 2011, at DIN: 20111116-IR-675110683NIA. The rule is updating the NFPA 13 Standard for the first time in 11 years 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 March 30, 2013.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #11-683 as March 30, 2013, is being submitted in a timely manner. July 23, 2012, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.
