Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Comments were received from 4 parties at the public hearing on these rules. All comments were strongly in favor of adopting these proposed rules as written. The NFPA standards proposed for adoption are established through a national consensus process, which takes full advantage of the latest design, inspection and maintenance technologies. The public hearing participants, as well as the members of the Fire Safety Code Council and the Commercial Building Code Council strongly believe that adoption of these updated standards will be a service for all citizens and businesses of the state.

4.   Health & Family Services (CR 97-47)
Ch. HFS 127 - Rural medical centers.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The rules apply to health care facilities and programs in rural areas that operate under a single governing body to provide at least two types of health care services usually licensed, certified or approved separately by the Department, and that choose to be licensed and regulated as rural medical centers. A rural medical center could be a small business, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats., but that is unlikely because of the numbers of employes a rural medical center would have. The rules will not add to the current facility or program reporting or record-keeping requirements, nor will compliance with them require professional skills that facilities and programs currently lack.

7.   Natural Resources (CR 98-84)
NR 10 - Wildlife damage abatement program and the wildlife damage claim program
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed revisions to chs. NR 12 and 19 are unlikely to have a significant new economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. Though Department and participating counties have serviced 2,419 growers in 1997, and these rules involve restrictions and accountability, they also involve implementation of statute which includes extensive increases of benefits to growers. These rules seek to make this program efficient, more accountable and clearer to understand and implement.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees:
The rules were reviewed by the Assembly Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Environment and Energy Committee. On November 5, 1998, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing. The Committee did not request any changes to the proposed rule, but did request the Department to make minor modifications to the Wildlife Damage Abatement and Claims Program technical manual used by the Department.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
This proposed rule will have an adverse effect on a limited number of small businesses providing ambulance service. For those services that keep their ambulances stocked with the bare minimum of medical and surgical equipment, the Department estimates that their cost per ambulance would be less than $1,000. Most service providers will have very little monetary hardship because they already carry most of the equipment that this rule would require. The Department estimates that there would be a $200 cost per ambulance.
