RE: LSA Document #19-73 - Amends 355 IAC 3 to update to current federal standards.

On behalf of the Office of Indiana State Chemist, I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register and Indiana Administrative Code in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, which requires that a notice be sent to the Publisher if a rule will not be approved or deemed approved by the Governor within one year of publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. This notice is submitted to the Publisher before the two hundred fiftieth day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published in the Indiana Register on February 6, 2019 (DIN: 20190206-IR-355190073NIA).

This office is currently gathering related documentation of codes incorporated by reference in fulfillment of IC 4-22-2-21(d)(4) and needs additional time. We request that the approval date be extended to allow for proper submission and review by the Attorney General and the Governor's office. This office hopes to have a final rule adopted March 6, 2021. Approval or deemed approval by the Governor is expected not later than May 6, 2021.

This notice is being submitted in a timely manner. October 2, 2019, is the two hundred thirty-eighth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.
