G. Effect on Small Business
This rule will not affect small businesses. The Wis. Stat. §. 227.114 (1) definition of “small business” states that to be considered a small business, the business must not be dominant in its field. Since electric, gas, and water utilities are monopolies in their service territories, they are dominant in their fields and, so, are not small businesses.
FISCAL ESTIMATE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
This rulemaking should have either no or minimal economic impact. A completed Economic Impact Analysis and Fiscal Estimate are included as Attachment C.
