Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses
SS. HSS 110.01 to 110.10 - Relating to licensing of ambulance service providers, licensing of emergency medical technicians-basic (EMT's-basic) and to certification of EMT's-basic to perform defibrillation.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
These rules will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. Although there are some 450 ambulance service providers, only about 25 of them are small businesses. Moreover, the rule changes only involve moving authorized actions of EMT's-basic from the statutes to the rules, and generally updating the rules. There are no new reporting or bookkeeping requirements for ambulance service providers.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The rules will not directly affect small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.

SS. HSS 122.06 & 122.07 - Relating to review of construction projects that propose to demonstrate the worth of new nursing home designs.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
These rules will not affect small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. About 90 nursing homes are small businesses, but a project home must have 60 or more beds, which means that it would not likely meet the small business criterion of having fewer than 25 full-time employes.

S. ILHR 83.035 - Relating to petitions for variance and private sewage systems.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The rules clarify that persons have ability to submit for consideration to the Department petitions for variance relative to rules governing the design or installation of new private sewage systems. The rules for private sewage systems are contained in the plumbing code, which is a statutorily state-wide uniform code. A petition for variance will be approved or denied by the Department, based upon whether the proposed alternatives offered under petition are deemed to be equivalent to the purpose of the rule being petitioned.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
The rule was referred to the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Human Resources, Labor, Tourism, Veterans and Military Affairs.
The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources indicates that it will be monitoring closely the Department's actions, specifically, the comprehensive rewrite of chapter ILHR 83. The committee would like to be kept appraised of petition approvals. The committee also asks the Department to take a leadership role in seeking land use solutions in light of the potential effects of the rules.

CR 93-33)
S. ILHR 83.23 - Relating to mound type private sewage systems.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Sections 145.02 and 145.13, Stats., give the Department the responsibility of safeguarding public health by establishing uniform standards for the design, installation and maintenance of all plumbing, regardless of size of a business or building. The rules to be incorporated into the plumbing code, chs. ILHR 81-87, are minimum requirements supplementing existing rules for design and installation of mound-type private sewage systems which provide the needed level of health protection; exceptions from compliance would be contrary to the statutory objectives which are the basis for the rules.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
The rule was referred to the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Human Resources, Labor, Tourism, Veterans and Military Affairs.
