Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses
Ch. Adm 68 - Length, expiration date and fee for licenses issued to manufactured and mobile home dealers and salespersons and for registration plates issued to dealers.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
1. Types of small businesses that will be affected by the rule:
There are currently 158 licensed mobile home dealers who employe less than 25 individuals. We are unable to determine the gross annual sales for each mobile home dealer.
2. Reason for failing to include in the rule any of the methods specified in s. 227.114 (2), Stats.:
The proposed rule increased the licensing fee by an average of $40 per year in order to increase revenue to fully fund the program. In response to concerns raised, the department revised the fee increases to affect all dealers equally.
3. Summary of issues raised by small businesses during the hearing of the rule, any changes in proposed rule as a result of alternatives suggested by small businesses and the reasons for rejecting any alternatives suggested by small businesses.
4. Reporting, bookkeeping, and other procedures required for compliance with the rule:
None.
5. Nature and cost of other measures and investments that will be required for compliance with the rule:
None.
6. Additional cost, if any, to the agency of administering or enforcing a rule which includes any of the methods specified under s. 227.114 (2), Stats.:
None.
7. Impact on public health, safety and welfare, if any, caused by including in the rule any of the methods specified under s. 227.114 (2), Stats.:
None.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The statutes authorize the Department to administer the issuance of numerous credentials as part of the Department's responsibility of protecting the safety and health of frequenters and occupants in public buildings, places of employment and one- and 2-family dwellings. The proposed revisions in the credential rules are minimum requirements to met the directives of the statutes, and any less stringent requirements would be contrary to the statutory objectives which are the basis for the rules. No issues were raised by small businesses during hearings.
