Terrestrial Invertebrates and Plant Disease Causing Microorganisms:
No significant new impacts are expected. This rule supports existing authority for prohibitions and quarantine enforcement already in place for DATCP and outlined in ch. ATCP 21, Wis. Adm. Code, and ch. 94, Stats., thus businesses that transport, possess and transfer raw wood products such as pulp and paper mills, sawmills and firewood dealers may be affected by more rigorous enforcement of quarantine rules. Movement of raw, untreated products out of quarantined areas will be restricted. Treatment of raw wood products or restrictions on timing of movement out of a quarantined area may be required.
Terrestrial and Aquatic Vertebrates (except fish):
No significant impact is anticipated for small businesses. Anyone raising Russian boar or other wild swine for meat-production agriculture will be able to continue their business but will be required to secure a DNR permit. Sales and possession of legally obtained monk parrots as pets will not be affected. Existing US Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR § 1240.62 already bans the sale of red-eared slider turtles with carapace lengths less than 4 inches, so this is not a new regulation.
