Ch. HFS163 — Relating to certification for the identification, removal and reduction of lead-based paint hazards, accreditation of training courses that prepare individuals for certification, and approval of training course managers, principal instructors and guest instructors.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
These rules will affect small businesses as defined in s. 227.1 14(1)(a), Stats. Almost all the changes are being made so that the Department will meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conditions for authorization and approval of the Department's lead (Pb) certification and training program. They are EPA requirements. The certification and accreditation fees have been established by the Department to cover program costs, and some of them are being amended by this order.
Certification of lead (Pb) companies is a new requirement because EPA requires it. Of the 200 non-government lead (Pb) companies currently identified by the Department. an estimated 75 % have fewer than 25 employes. Lead company certification fees were established at $50, which is just sufficient to cover the administrative costs of certification.
The certification fee for nongovernment lead risk assessors is reduced because most are self-employed and have difficulty recovering the cost.
Seven training providers offer accredited courses in this state. Four are small businesses, 2 providing training on a limited basis and 2 providing a full range of courses. The current rules provide for a one-time course accreditation application fee of $750 per initial course and $250 per refresher course. The revised rules reduce the one-time course accreditation application fee to $500 per initial course and $125 per refresher course, and require reaccreditation of a course every 2 years and payment of an accreditation fee of $500 per initial course and $250 per refresher course for each 2-year accreditation period.
Within the flexibility allowed by EPA regulations, the Department developed rules that would cause minimal difficulty for small businesses. Forms collect the minimum information needed to support the program, and approved alternative forms may be used. Certification, accreditation, approval and training time periods (terms) were established that would be as simple and easy to track as allowed under EPA regulations.
During public review of the proposed rules, concerns were expressed by small businesses (a landlord, a lead consultant, a lead companies association representative) about the availability and cost of liability insurance for lead claims and insurance coverage. The Department's s response to these concerns in part is that it will work with the Department of Commerce Small Business Ombudsman to bring the insurance issues to the attention of the Commissioner of Insurance.

S. HFS 94.24 - Searches of the persons and of the rooms and personal belongings of patients residing in a secure mental health unit under s. 980.065, Stats., or the maximum security facility at the Mendota mental health institute.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The amendments to s. HFS 94.24 (2) apply to the Department, to the management and staff of the Wisconsin Resources Center and the Mendota Mental Health Institute and to the affected patients at the two facilities. The rules do not directly apply to small businesses as “small business” is defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats.
