11. Public Service Commission (CR 98-49)
Chs. PSC 160 & 161 - Educational telecommunications access program.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Existing universal service fund rules may have an effect on small telecommunications utilities, which are small businesses under s. 196.216, Stats., for the purposes of s. 227.114, Stats. These small telecommunications utilities, of which there are 79 in Wisconsin, like other telecommunications providers (both large and small), have obligations under the universal service fund, including an obligation for payments to the universal service fund. Under the rules proposed in this proceeding, there will be further assessments for the fund per the requirements and the existing rules in ch. PSC 160, Wis. Adm. Code.
Other provisions of these proposed rules should have no direct impact on small businesses. The Commission already has established in s. PSC 160.18 (1)(a), Wis. Adm. Code, a policy and provision to make an exemption from fund assessments to protect entry by and continued operation of small telecommunications providers as directed by statutory objectives.
The agency has considered the methods in s. 227.114 (2), Stats., for reducing the impact of the rules on small businesses. Other than the provisions for exemption from assessments for small providers noted above, these methods are not appropriate nor consistent with statutory objectives. No reporting or other measures are required by small telecommunications utilities to comply with the rule. The proposed rule has no impact on public health, safety and welfare.
There were no issues raised by small businesses during the hearing or in written comments that needed to be considered in the proposed rules.
