Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses
1.
Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection
(CR 97-113)
Ch. ATCP 30 - Atrazine use restrictions.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Businesses Affected:
The amendments to the atrazine rule will affect small businesses in Wisconsin. The greatest small business impact of the rule will be on users of atrazine -- farmers who grow corn. The proposed prohibition areas contain approximately 13,000 acres. Assuming that 50% of this land is in corn and that 50% of these acres are treated with atrazine, then 3,250 acres of corn will be affected. This acreage would represent between 20 and 50 producers, depending on their corn acreage. These producers are small businesses, as defined by s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats. Secondary effects may be felt by distributors and applicators of atrazine pesticides, crop consultants and equipment dealers. Since the secondary effects relate to identifying and assisting farmers in implementing alternative weed control methods, these effects will most likely result in additional or replacement business and the impacts are not further discussed in this document.
Specific economic impacts of alternative pest control techniques are discussed in the environmental impact statement for this rule.
Reporting, Recordkeeping and other Procedures Required for Compliance:
The maximum application rate for atrazine use in Wisconsin is based on soil texture. This may necessitate referring to a soil survey map or obtaining a soil test. While this activity is routine, documentation would need to be maintained to justify the selected application rate. A map delineating application areas must be prepared if the field is subdivided and variable application rates are used. This procedure is already required under the current atrazine rule.
All users of atrazine, including farmers, will need to maintain specified records for each application. This procedure is already required under the current atrazine rule.
Atrazine cannot be used in certain areas of the state where groundwater contamination exceeds the atrazine enforcement standard in s. NR 140.10, Wis. Adm. Code.
Professional Skills Required to Comply:
The rule affects how much atrazine can be applied and on which fields. Because overall use of atrazine will be reduced in the state, alternative week control techniques may be needed in some situations. These techniques may include different crop rotations, reduced atrazine rates, either alone or in combination with other herbicides, or combinations of herbicides and mechanical week control measures.
Summary of Comments From Legislative Committees:
The rule was referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environmental Resources on December 17, 1997 and to the Assembly Committee on Agriculture on December 23, 1997. Neither the Assembly Committee on Agriculture nor the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environmental Resources took any action on the rule during their review period.
