The rule prohibits a person from possessing firewood that originates from outside the borders of Wisconsin. Firewood includes all wood, processed or unprocessed, meant for use in a campfire.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the hearing will be held on:
Monday, April 17, 2006 at 7:00 p.m.

Notice of Hearing
Natural Resources
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to ss.
77.06 (2),
77.82 (3) (c),
77.91 (1) and
227.11 (2) (a), Stats., interpreting s.
77.06 (2) and subch. VI, ch.
77, Stats., the Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing on revisions to ss.
NR 46.18 and
46.30, Wis. Adm. Code, relating to the administration of the Forest Crop Law and the Managed Forest Law. Sections
77.06 (2) and
77.91 (1), Stats., require that the Department establish stumpage rates (values) used in calculating severance and yield taxes on timber harvested from land enrolled in the Forest Crop Law (FCL) and managed Forest Law (MFL). This rule would repeal and recreate s.
NR 46.30 (2) (a) to
(c) to revise the stumpage values to be used in calculating severance taxes and yield taxes for timber harvested during the period of November 1, 2005 and October 31, 2006. Thirteen separate zones reflect varying stumpage values for different species and products across the state. The average change for sawtimber is a 7% increase over current rates. The pulpwood prices, on average, would increase 20%. Stumpage values are collected from private, state and county timber sales to be used in calculating the proposed stumpage rates.
In addition to the stumpage value changes, “mixed product" stumpage rates for red pine, white pine and spruce are added to reflect changes in how products are being sold and keep product reporting in line with public land reporting; the weight conversion factor for red pine (green weight) is adjusted from 4700 to 4500 to bring it in line with the weight conversion factor used for public lands; and the mandatory practices related to release from competing vegetation and treatments to insure adequate regeneration are updated.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that pursuant to s.
227.114, Stats., the proposed rule may have an impact on small businesses. The initial regulatory flexibility analysis is as follows:
a. Types of small businesses affected: Any business with land enrolled in either the Managed Forest Law or the Forest Crop Law.
b. Description of reporting or bookkeeping procedures required: No procedures not already required.
c. Description of professional skills required: No new skills are required.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Department has made a preliminary determination that this action does not involve significant adverse environmental effects and does not need an environmental analysis under ch.
NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code. However, based on the comments received, the Department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the proposal. This environmental review document would summarize the Department's consideration of the impacts of the proposal and reasonable alternatives.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the hearing will be held on:
Wednesday, April 19, 2006 at 1:00 p.m.
Council Chambers, Wausau City Hall, 407 Grant Street, Wausau
