EMERGENCY RULES NOW IN EFFECT
Commissioner of Transportation
[Commissioner of Railroads]
Rules adopted revising ch. OCT 5, relating to intrastate railroad rate regulation.
FINDING OF EMERGENCY
The office of the commissioner of railroads (OCR) finds that an emergency exits and that an emergency rule is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. A statement of the facts constituting the emergency is:
By state law, the OCR regulates intrastate rail rates. Every five years, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) must certify that the OCR's rules conform to federal law. The OCR's current certification expires on September 23, 1995. These rules conform the rules to changes in federal law. The rule changes need to be in effect so that the OCR can submit them to the ICC for its approval by the certification's expiration date. If the OCR follows the non-emergency procedures to adopt these rule changes, the rules would not be in effect in time for the ICC to recertify the OCRF before expiration.
The OCR did not commence these proceedings earlier because the governor's 1995-1997 budget proposed to eliminate the OCR and repeal the statutes authorizing intrastate rate regulation. While final action on the budget is not complete, the legislature's Joint Committee on Finance has adopted a motion to retain the OCR and its regulatory authority. The OCR intends to adopt these rules as permanent and is commencing that process concurrently with the adoption of these emergency rules.

EMERGENCY RULES NOW IN EFFECT
Department of Transportation
A rule was adopted amending s. Trans 4.06 (4), relating to the Urban Mass transit Operating Assistance Program.
FINDING OF EMERGENCY
Under the current administrative rule, ch. Trans 4, recipients of state transit aid must contribute a minimum local share of 20% towards such aid. Under current practice, private transportation providers who contract with the recipient have been permitted to contribute the local share. Public policy considerations require amendment of the rule to make certain that only the recipient is permitted to contribute the local share of transit aid.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation finds that an emergency exists regarding the public welfare. Without the emergency rule, there would be insufficient lead time for recipients to respond to the rule's impact on their budgets. Also, additional lead time may be required for recipients to re-bid contracts with private transportation providers, if necessary.
