Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection
(CR 99-5)
Chs. ATCP 29 & 40 - Agricultural chemical cleanup surcharge fees.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed changes to ATCP 29 and ATCP 40, Wis. Adm. Code will have minor but positive effects on small businesses that sell or use fertilizers or pesticides in Wisconsin.
Businesses Affected:
Currently all manufacturers and labelers of pesticides used in agricultural crop production must register those pesticides and pay certain fees for those pesticides, with the fees based on the value of Wisconsin sales. Likewise, manufacturers and labelers of fertilizers must be licensed and pay fees for each ton of fertilizer distributed in this state. Agricultural coops and farm centers that blend fertilizer or sell or apply pesticides must be licensed to do these activities. A portion of these fees are used to clean up sites that have been contaminated by spills of pesticides and fertilizers. Most of these fees are passed to farmers through distributor imposed surcharges on the products.
Starting with state fiscal year 1998/1999, and continuing for two years, the product and license fees have been reduced because the balance of funds currently available exceeds the anticipated costs of cleaning up contaminated sites. The fees are set to resume during state fiscal year 2000/2001. This proposed rule will delay resumption of these surcharge fees for agricultural chemical cleanups for two additional years.
Most manufacturers of pesticides and many manufacturers of fertilizers, as well as many agricultural coops and farm centers are not small businesses. Some smaller coops and farm centers are small businesses. Since most of these fees are passed on to farmers, the greatest savings should be at the farm level, most of which are small businesses.
Anticipated Impacts:
The department estimates cost savings of $2,800,000 per year for two years. Based on 30,000 farms, the department anticipates average per farm savings of about $200 over the two years during which this rule extends the fee reduction, with the savings directly proportional to purchased fertilizer and pesticide inputs.
There are no anticipated changes in recordkeeping, reporting or other practices as a result of this rule.
Summary of Comments:
On August 10, 1999, this department transmitted the above rule for legislative committee review. The rule was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Environmental Resources and Campaign Finance Reform. The review period for the Assembly Committee on Agriculture ended without comment on September 19, 1999. The Senate Committee requested an extended review period pending final action on the biennial budget. The extended review ended without comment on January 11, 2000.
