Proposed Rule
LSA Document #18-542
DIGEST
Date of First Hearing: January 8, 2020.
IC 13-14-9-4.5 states that a board may not adopt a rule under
IC 13-14-9 that is substantively different from the draft rule published under
IC 13-14-9-4, until the board has conducted a third comment period that is at least 21 days long. Because this proposed rule is not substantively different from the draft rule published on August 14, 2019, at DIN:
20190814-IR-326180542SNA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is not requesting additional comment on this proposed rule.
SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD
IDEM requested public comment from August 14, 2019, through September 13, 2019, on IDEM's draft rule language. No comments were received during the second comment period.
