Chs. HFS 172, 175, 178 and 195 to 198 — Relating to increases in permit fees and related fees and a one-time technology improvement surcharge for the operation of Department-regulated public swimming pools, camps, campgrounds, hotels and motels, tourist rooming houses, restaurants, bed and breakfast establishments and food and beverage vending operations and commissaries.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Most of the 16,051 facilities affected by the fee increases and technology improvement surcharge are small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.
The order amends the Department's rules to provide for an increase of about 18% in permit fees, a $25 increase in the penalty fee when a permit fee is paid late and an increase ranging from $70 to $ 220 in the preinspection fee before issuance of the initial permit (this fee does not apply to swimming pools, camps, campgrounds or vending machines), and a one-time technology improvement surcharge of $15 to $25 to be paid by each permit holder which will enable the Department to update its computerized information and processing system for the regulatory program.
The regulatory program is operated exclusively on the basis of fee revenue.
The fee increases and one-time technology improvement surcharge will enable the Department to maintain this regulatory program at its current levels for frequency of routine inspections to protect public health, responding promptly to complaints from the public and undertaking necessary enforcement action, and to modernize its permit issuance and information system.
Some variation is provided for in the amount of a permit fee and the technology improvement surcharge, based on the number of sites for a campground, the number of rooms in a hotel or motel, and both the type and seating capacity of a restaurant.
The amount of a permit fee as well as the amount of a preinspection fee reflect the costs of regulation, in particular the costs of inspecting a facility.
No comments were received at the Department's public hearings on the proposed rule changes.
Summary of Comments:
No comments were received.
