RE: LSA Document #20-89, amending 170 IAC 1-7, which establishes procedures by which a municipality or users of the works whose property is located outside the corporate boundaries of the municipality may petition the commission under IC 8-1.5-3-8.3(d) or IC 8-1.5-3-8.3(e) to review and adjust, if necessary, the rates and charges imposed on users of the works.

On behalf of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the captioned rule may not be completed within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Indiana Register published the Notice of Intent on March 11, 2020 (DIN: 20200311-IR-170200089NIA). This electronic notice is being submitted prior to November 16, 2020, the 250th day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule under IC 4-22-2-23.

As required by IC 4-22-2-25(a)(1), the rule will likely not be adopted within one year due to delays in reviewing the fiscal impact of the Proposed Rule at the State Budget Agency (SBA), delays presumably resulting from the current public health emergency. The IURC submitted its fiscal and financial impact analysis request to SBA for approval on March 4, 2020. As of the date of this notice, approval by the SBA has not yet been received. As required by IC 4-22-2-25(a)(2), the expected date for completion is on or before October 7, 2021, and approval by the Governor is expected no later than November 6, 2021.
