ARC 1427C
AGING, DEPARTMENT ON[17]
Notice of Intended Action
Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)“b.”
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code sections 231.14, 231.23 and 17A.3, the Department on Aging hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to amend Chapter 5, “Department Fiscal Operations,” Iowa Administrative Code.
The amendments are necessary to remove references to Iowa Aging Program Instructions (IAPI). IAPIs have traditionally been used by the Department to provide guidance to Area Agencies on Aging. IAPIs are identified in Chapter 5 as a form of federal or state regulation. These amendments remove references to IAPIs to ensure that IAPIs are not used as or confused with federal or state regulation.
Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on the proposed amendments on or before May 6, 2014. Such written comments or suggestions should be directed to Kimberly Murphy, Iowa Department on Aging, Jessie M. Parker Building, 510 E. 12th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319. E-mail may be sent to kimberly.murphy@iowa.gov.
After analysis and review of this rule making, no adverse impact on jobs has been found.
These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 231.
The following amendments are proposed.
	Item 1. Amend subrule 5.9(2) as follows:
	5.9(2) Each area agency on aging shall be responsible for the following:

	c. 	Submitting reports or data to the department on or before the established due dates established by the department. The established due dates for reports shall be listed in the area plan, the department’s service and fiscal reporting manual, or in an IAPI.
	Item 2. Amend subrule 5.10(2) as follows:
	5.10(2) Redistribution of state funds.
