Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses
Ch. HSS 148 - Rural counties participating in the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Screening Project.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The order will not affect small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114(1)(a), Stats. The rules are being repealed because the program statute was amended to delete mention of a list of 12 rural counties in the state that have the highest incidence of late stage breast cancer and to repeal the requirement that the Department specify those counties by rule.
Summary of Comments:
No comments were reported.
Ch. HFS 1 - Operation of the Department's uniform fee system including determination of parental liability for the cost of court-ordered substitute care of a child.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The proposed rules will not directly affect small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.1 114(1)(a), Stats. They apply to the Department, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, county social service and human service departments and county child support agencies, and they will affect also the parents of children who are in court-ordered substitute care placements.
Summary of Comments:
No comments were reported.
S. Ins 3.46 (18) - Requirements for qualified tax deductible long term care policies.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance has determined that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses and therefore a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
Summary of Comments from Legislative Standing Committees:
The legislative standing committees had no comments on this rule.
Chs. NR 102, 105, 106 and 207 - Surface water quality standards, criteria and their implementation procedures.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has assessed the impact of the Great Lakes Initiative on small facilities under the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. In the final guidance summary, they concluded the following:
“...EPA is certifying that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities... small facilities are projected to incur costs of only approximately $500 per facility to comply with subsequently promulgated requirements that are consistent with the final Guidance. Accordingly, EPA believes there will be no significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as a result of State or Tribal implementation of the final Guidance.”
