NR 400 series - Clarifications and clean up changes.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Since these are corrective and clarifying changes, small businesses not already intended to be regulated are not adversely affected. Although some small businesses may be subject to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements to support permit exemptions, the need to maintain this information is not new.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:
The rules were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Environment and Utilities and the Senate Committee on Environment and Energy. These were no comments.
10.   Natural Resources (CR 95-035)

11.   Natural Resources (CR 94-182)

14.   Savings & Loan (CR 94-169)

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
This rule will equally apply to all savings banks, including those covered by the definition of “small business” under s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. This agency believes that none of the methods in s. 227.114 (2), Stats., for reducing the impact of the rule on any savings bank which may fall under the definition of “small business” would be feasible. Doing so would be contrary to the overriding and contrary statutory objectives of ch. 214, Stats., of assuring the stability, safety and soundness of all savings banks established and regulated under ch. 214, Stats.
Summary of Comments:
No comments were reported.

Public Notice
Health & Social Services
(Medical Assistance Reimbursement of Hospitals)
The State of Wisconsin reimburses hospitals for medical services provided to low-income persons under the authority of Title XIX of the Federal Social Security Act and ss. 49.43 and 49.47, Wisconsin Statutes. This program, administered by the State's Department of Health and Social Services, is known as Medical Assistance (MA) or Medicaid. Federal statutes require a state plan for inpatient services which provides the methods and standards for paying for hospital inpatient services.
A state plan is now in effect for the reimbursement of inpatient hospital services. The Department is proposing to make a change in this plan effective January 1, 1996. The change will modify the reimbursement methodology for a hospital operated by the state's Department of Veteran Affairs and allow reimbursement at the facility's skilled care nursing facility rate as required by the 1995-97 biennial budget for hospital patients awaiting placement to alternative care arrangements.
Implementation of this change to the inpatient state plan is expected to increase annual expenditures of the Wisconsin MA Program by $150,000 ($90,000 federal financial participation and $60,000 from general purpose revenue) for the 1996 calendar year.
Copies of Proposed Change
Copies of the proposed change will be sent to every county social services or human services department main office where they will be available for public review. For more information and copies of the proposed change, interested people may write to:
