Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses
Chs. Comm 5, 82 & 84 - Credentials and fire sprinkler systems.
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 for 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 meet the directives of the Statutes, and any less stringent requirements would be contrary to the Statutory objectives which are the basis for the rules.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees:
The rules were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment and the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing and Government Operations. No comments were received.
Chs. Comm 83, 85 & 91 - Private onsite wastewater treatment systems.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Under ss. 145.02 and 145.13, Stats., the department is empowered to establish statewide uniform plumbing standards for the purpose of protecting public health and the waters of the state. Exempting one segment of the population based upon the size of a business would be in conflict with these statutory objectives.
Comments and issues raised by small businesses relating to the proposed rules were provided in the context and effort to revise the rules for all applications. No public hearing comments were provided in the specific context of either exempting or reducing requirements or enacting different requirements for small businesses. It is surmised that the nature of the rules, public health, displaces focus from a single segment of the population.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees:
The rule were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Environmental Resources and Campaign Finance Reform. No comments were received from the committees as a result of the modifications submitted to the committee in response to the motions.

Ch. PSC 160 - The provision of universal telecommunications service and administration of the universal service fund.
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. The 78 small telecommunications utilities, 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.
The rule changes proposed in this proceeding could have the effect of changing the amount of the assessments to providers for the universal service fund. Some of these changes may increase the amount of funding needed, while others may decrease the amount paid by any given provider. Other changes may impact the amounts that certain providers may recover from the fund. The net effect of these changes is uncertain, although one area where impact is almost certain to be felt is among wireless providers. Under these rules, the assessment exemption for wireless providers is eliminated.
Many of the changes in this proposed rule are clarifications and updates that do not change existing procedures. Others do not change requirements, such as participation in certain programs, but only change the calculations used by participants. Others impose requirements on those who choose to apply to become eligible for certain federal and state universal service fund monies. Many of these are based on federal requirements related to federal universal service fund support eligibility. Other provisions of these proposed rules should have no direct impact on small businesses.
The Commission already has established, in s. PSC 160.18, an exemption from fund assessments to protect entry by and continued operation of small telecommunications providers as directed by statutory objectives. There are no new reporting or bookkeeping requirements imposed under these proposed rules for any business other than wireless carriers. Federal Communications Commission orders concerning universal service require that states apply universal service measures in a manner that does not favor one segment of the industry over another, with limited exceptions. This limits the Commission's ability to treat providers that are small businesses differently than other providers.
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 do not appear to be necessary, appropriate, or consistent with statutory objectives.
