RE: LSA Document #10-731 - Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) rule

Dear Representative Thompson,

On behalf of the Indiana State Department of Health (Department), I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Department has determined that the promulgation of the captioned rule may not be completed within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Department published its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule for the captioned document on December 1, 2010 (DIN: 20101201-IR-410100731NIA). On January 12, 2011, the Department preliminarily adopted a Proposed Rule. The Department has scheduled the public hearing for Tuesday, July 26, 2011.

Following the public hearing, the agency must consider and respond to public comments and present the rule to the ISDH Executive Board for final adoption. Pursuant to IC 4-22-2-32, the Attorney General has 45 days to complete his review of the rule. Whether a quorum is present at the ISDH Executive Board meeting, and the Attorney General's time frame for rule review, are outside of the Department's control. Thus, promulgation of this rule will likely not be completed by December 1, 2011. The agency expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by December 1, 2012.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA [Document] #10-731 as December 1, 2012, is being submitted in a timely manner. August 8, 2011, is the two hundred and fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Sincerely,

Sean Keefer

Chief of Staff
