Under IC 4-22-2-24, notice is hereby given that on April 11, 2017, at 9:40 a.m., at the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, 1202 East 38th Street, Discovery Hall Suite 100, Indianapolis, Indiana, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) will hold a public hearing on a proposed rule that amends 345 IAC 1-5 governing rabies control. The purpose of the changes is to update the incorporation by reference of the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians, Inc. Compendium of Animal Rabies Control (hereafter referred to as the "Compendium"). The proposed rule updates the incorporation by reference of components of the Compendium from the 2008 edition to the 2016 edition. The proposed rule also amends 345 IAC 1-5-2 to clarify the ongoing revaccination requirements for dogs and cats three months of age and older.

The proposed rule does not impose costs beyond what is expressly required by state and federal law. Therefore, the proposed rule does not impose costs on a regulated entity that would require a justification statement under IC 4-22-2-24(d)(3).

Copies of these rules are now on file at the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, 1202 East 38th Street, Discovery Hall Suite 100 and Legislative Services Agency, Indiana Government Center North, 100 North Senate Avenue, Room N201, Indianapolis, Indiana and are open for public inspection.
