Statutory Authority
Comparison with Federal Regulations
Federal regulations allow states to manage the wildlife resources located within their boundaries provided they do not conflict with regulations established in the Federal Register. None of these rule changes violate or conflict with the provisions established in the Federal Code of Regulations.
Entities Affected by the Rule
Groups and individuals who are likely to be interested in the outcome of these rule changes include hunters, trappers and wildlife rehabilitators. However, because of the corrective and non-controversial nature of these changes no groups will be significantly impacted.
Estimate of Time Needed to Develop the Rule
150 hours.

Subject
Revises section
DWD 301.07 (11) and
(16), relating to migrant labor camps — outside stairways and shower facilities.
Objective of the Rule
DWD is considering changes to the rules for migrant labor camps which would specify that, when the housing consists of a mobile or manufactured home, the exterior stairways shall have handrails, and the housing unit and all exterior stairways and handrails shall be firmly anchored to the ground and to each other, and that stairways and handrails shall be maintained in good repair. DWD is also considering a rule to specify that common use shower facilities for men must be equipped with a movable partition or divider to permit the separation of children from adults. Both of these proposals have come from the Governor's Council on Migrant Labor.
Policy Analysis
The current rules for migrant labor camps contain other requirements for the housing provided to migrant workers, but do not cover these two specific topics.
Statutory Authority
Comparison with Federal Regulations
There is no existing or proposed federal regulation which addresses these issues.
Entities Affected by the Rule
The proposed rule will affect the operators of migrant labor camps, which are subject to annual inspections by the DWD before the issuance of certificates of operation.
Estimate of Time Needed to Develop the Rule
20 hours.
