Analysis Prepared by the Wis. Dept. of Transportation
Statutory authority: s. 85.16 (1)
Statute interpreted: s. 84.17 (3)
General Summary of Proposed Rule. Under s. 84.17 (3), Stats., the Department of Transportation has been directed to establish standards for a continuing highway bridge inspection program. An initial rule was adopted in 1982 and revised in 1992. This rule making will bring the rule into conformance with federal bridge inspection standards and allow for a more appropriate inspection interval for some bridges.
Related statutes and rules include s. 84.18, Stats., which establishes a program to accelerate the reconstruction or rehabilitation of seriously deteriorating local bridges identified by the inventory of bridges required under s. 84.17, Stats. Chapter Trans 213 implements the bridge reconstruction and rehabilitation program. In addition, some deteriorated bridges may be eligible for state aid in reconstruction under s. 84.11, Stats. Chapter Trans 215 establishes criteria for determining eligibility under this program for replacing or constructing local high cost bridges.
The first section of this rule amends the definition of the “AASHTO" manual to reflect the fact that a more recent edition has been published. It also changes the name of the appropriate division in the Department of Transportation to reflect the current organizational structure. Finally, it changes the names of the report forms to reflect current practice. The second section allows bridge inspections on a two year interval rather than annually. It also allows certain types of bridges to be inspected at up to four year intervals upon agreement with FHWA. The third section changes reporting dates slightly to allow more time for computer data entry of inspection information by Department personnel.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed amendments to ch. Trans 212 will have no effect on any small business as the rule only applies to the state while performing the governmental function of highway bridge inspection.
Fiscal Estimate
The proposed amendments to ch. Trans 212 will have no effect on the fiscal liabilities or revenues of any county, city, village, town, school district, vocational, technical and adult education district, or sewerage district. The proposed amendments have no effect on state liabilities or revenues. This estimate is based on the fact that the changes merely brings Wisconsin into conformance with what FHWA already allows.
