Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Individuals from small businesses (e.g., private consulting firms) may choose to use the services provided in the rule. In the case of a pilot certification program, small businesses with certified employees may benefit from the rule by being able to provide additional services to their clients. These rules impose no compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses and thus are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. Therefore, under s.
227.19(3m), Stats., a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

Revises Chapter
NR 45, relating to use of departmental property. Effective 1-1-11.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule does not impose performance standards or compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses. Small business impacts from the commercial use permit fee increase will be minor as the permit fee increase is $20 per year. Even for a very small-scale business, the cost is likely to be easily absorbed by the business, and offset by revenues generated from the business conducted on the state property. This change is not expected to dramatically increase revenues to the system; rather it updates the fee relative to the value businesses receive from doing business on system properties, and the impact their work may have on the resources or facilities at the property. The current fee is significantly below market value, remains an economical choice for businesses or families to utilize, and is unlikely to impact demand.
The Corporate Event fee at Lakeshore State Park is $500 for less than 500 attendees and is intended to offset the additional expenses associated with sponsoring the event. The businesses impact is anticipated to be minimal for many small businesses.
The campground fee increases will not have a negative effect on nearby private campground owners. Private campgrounds may see a small increase in visitation and associated revenue if some campers select the private provider rather than paying the increased fee. The slow-no-wake proposal is not anticipated to have a measurable effect on commercial boat operators.
This is a Type III action under Chapter
150, Wis. Adm. Code, and neither are an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment is required.

Revises Chapters
NR 20,
21,
22, and
24, relating to commercial fishing on the Mississippi river boundary water of Wisconsin. Effective 1-1-11.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Small businesses that may be affected by the proposed rule are commercial fishers who currently hold or may in the future a license for commercial fishing on the Wisconsin waters of the Mississippi River. This rule will allow licensed commercial fishers to use resident or non-resident helpers or crew members and not require the helpers or crew members to each hold an individual license. The rule does require the licensed commercial fisher to notify the department of the name and address of their helpers and crew members before they engage in commercial fishing activities, but only if the helper or crew member does not also hold a current commercial fishing license. This notification may be made when applying for the license, along with the commercial fisher's monthly report, or by calling the department and providing the information.
No new professional skills are needed to comply with the proposed rule.
