Attn: Sarah Burkman

Dear Senator Young:

On behalf of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites Corporation, I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-19, which requires an agency to begin the rulemaking process not later than 60 days after the effective date of the statute that authorizes the rule (P.L.167-2011, effective July 1, 2011).

The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites Corporation was established on July 1, 2011, but the rulemaking process authorized by IC 4-37-4-3 was not begun within 60 days of the effective date of the statute. However, the rulemaking process has now been initiated. The notice of intent for this rule was published in the Indiana Register on November 30, 2011 (DIN: 20111130-IR-313110726NIA).

Your understanding of these circumstances is greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 232-0069.

Sincerely,

Laura J. Minzes, Deputy Director of Historic Sites, Structures and Land

Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites Corporation
