The proposed rule also makes a technical correction to s. DWD 128.01 (2) (b). A recent amendment to s. DWD 128.02 (1) (a) added “psychological condition" to the description of uncontrollable restrictions that may make a claimant eligible for the grace period. This change was made to reflect court interpretations. The language in s. DWD 128.01 (2) (b) is intended to parallel the language in s. DWD 128.02 (1) (a) but the amendment was inadvertently not made in s. DWD 128.01 (2) (b). The proposed rule amends s. DWD 128.01 (2) (b) to include “psychological condition."
In addition, obsolete references to ILHR are updated to DWD in the note following s. DWD 128.01.
Rule Text
SECTION 1. DWD 128.01 (2) (b), DWD 128.01 (note), and DWD 128.02 (1) (a) are amended to read:
DWD 128.01 (2) (b) The claimant's physical or psychological condition, or personal circumstances over which the claimant has no control limit the claimant to less than 15%, but more than 0%, of the opportunities for suitable work, including all such jobs whether vacant or filled, in the claimant's labor market area; or
DWD 128.01 Note: Section ILHR DWD 128.01 (2) (a) applies to a claimant whose restrictions on availability for work are within his or her power to change or alter. School attendance is generally a controllable restriction and, therefore, “without good cause" unless the person is enrolled in an approved training program under s. 108.04 (16), Stats. The wage demand of a claimant is also considered a controllable restriction. A claimant obligated to care for minor children is expected to make arrangements which would permit the claimant to accept suitable work. Unwillingness or failure to make such arrangements are controllable restrictions and, normally, without good cause.
Section ILHR DWD 128.01 (2) (b) applies to a claimant whose physical condition or uncontrollable personal circumstances limit the opportunity for suitable work. A claimant may be severely limited in the type of work which he or she could perform because of illness, disability, injury or age, but still be able to perform at least 15% of the suitable jobs in the claimant's labor market area.
DWD 128.02 (1) (a) The claimant's physical or psychological condition, or personal circumstances over which the claimant has no control limit the claimant to less than 15%, but more than 0%, of the opportunities for suitable work, as specified under s. DWD 128.01 (2) (b);
SECTION 2. DWD 128.02 (3) is created to read:
DWD 128.02(3) This section is not applicable to an alien whose authorized work has ended or whose authorization to work has expired, whichever is earlier.

Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
(CR 00-119)
An order relating to groundwater protection.
Effective 5-1-01
Summary of final regulatory flexibility analysis
Businesses Affected: The amendments to ch. ATCP 30 Appendix A will affect small businesses in Wisconsin. The greatest small business impact of the rule will be on users of atrazine -- farmers who grow corn. The proposed prohibition area contains approximately 1,000 acres. Assuming that 50% of this land is in corn and that 50% of these acres are treated with atrazine, then 250 acres of corn will be affected. About three producers would be affected, depending on their corn acreage and their reliance on atrazine products. These producers are small businesses, as defined by s. 227.114 (1)(a), Stats. Secondary effects may be felt by distributors and applicators of atrazine pesticides, crop consultants and equipment dealers. Since the secondary effects relate to identifying and assisting farmers in implementing alternative weed control methods, these effects will most likely result in additional or replacement business and the impacts are not further discussed in this document.
Specific economic impacts of alternative pest control techniques are discussed in the environmental impact statement for this rule.
Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other Procedures Required for Compliance:
The maximum application rate for atrazine use in Wisconsin is based on soil texture. This may necessitate referring to a soil survey map or obtaining a soil test. While this activity is routine, documentation would need to be maintained to justify the selected application rate. A map delineating application areas must be prepared if the field is subdivided and variable application rates are used. This procedure is already required under the current atrazine rule.
All users of atrazine, including farmers, will need to maintain specific records for each application. This procedure is already required under the current atrazine rule.
Atrazine cannot be used in certain areas of the State where groundwater contamination exceeds the atrazine enforcement standard in s. NR 140.10 Wis. Adm. Code.
Professional Skills Required to Comply:
The rule affects how much atrazine can be applied and on which fields. Because overall use of atrazine will be reduced in the State, alternative weed control techniques may be needed in some situations. These techniques may include different crop rotations, reduced atrazine rates, either alone or in combination with other herbicides, or combinations of herbicides and mechanical weed control measures.
While alternative weed control techniques are available, adoption of these techniques on individual farms will in some cases require assistance. In the past this type of assistance has been provided by University Extension personnel and farm chemical dealers. In recent years many farmers have been using crop consultants to scout fields, identify specific pest problems and recommend control measures. The department anticipates these three information sources will continue to be used as the primary source of information, both on whether atrazine can be used and which alternatives are likely to work for each situation.
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
(CR 00-145)
An order relating to importing bovine animals, goats and cervids from “non-modified accredited" states.
Effective 5-1-01
Summary of final regulatory flexibility analysis
This rule will affect small businesses that import bovine animals, goats or cervids into this state. It requires the operator of those businesses to either refrain from importing bovine animals, goats or cervids from states the United States department of agriculture has designated as tuberculosis non-modified accredited states, or to comply with the standards this rule establishes to assure that the animals that are imported are not infected with bovine tuberculosis.
