S. HSS 157.035 - Fees for registration of ionizing radiation installations.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
About 2,824 out of the 4,631 radiation installations in the state are small businesses, as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. The small businesses are mainly dentists but there are also chiropractors, podiatrists and veterinarians, single physician offices and a few small industrial firms that do testing with radioactive material.
The rules increase the annual registration renewal fee. This is done to cover increased costs of the program and is authorized by s. 254.35 (3) (g), Stats.
This regulatory program is financed by fee revenues. The Department cannot charge small businesses a lower registration renewal fee per x-ray device when the lower fee is unrelated to lower inspection costs without unfairly shifting program costs to radiation installations that are not small businesses.
No new reporting, bookkeeping or other procedures are required for compliance with the rules, nor are new professional skills requires for compliance with the rules.
No comments were received from small businesses about the fee increases during public review of the proposed rules.
