Standards 9 and 10:
With the exception of Standards Rules 10-1(c) and 10-5, Standards 9 and 10 were comprehensively updated to include terminology familiar to business appraisers, to ensure consistency, where appropriate, with the structure and concepts adopted in other parts of the document, and to assist business appraisers and users of business and intangible asset appraisals in understanding and applying the Standards in practice.
Statement 1:
As the subject matter of this Statement was incorporated into the changes associated with Standard 3, STM-1 was retired. However, its number and place in the document have been retained for editorial consistency (Lines 3323-3329).
Statements 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9:
These Statements have been edited to add references and/or text consistent with the terminology used in the context of Standard 8. For example, previous references to “real estate" have been eliminated and replaced with “property" or “appraisals" (Lines 3440-3576, 3686-4120, 4215-4938.)
Advisory Opinions:
Advisory Opinion 8 (AO-8) was updated to reflect current Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) references to “fair value." Advisory Opinion 19 (AO-19), “Unacceptable Assignment Conditions in Real Property Appraisal Assignments," was added.
Note: Administrative edits were made to all sections of the document to improve consistency.

Analysis Prepared by the Wis. Dept. of Transportation
Statutory authority: ss. 85.16 (1) and 348.07 (4)
Statute interpreted: s. 348.07 (4)
General Summary of Proposed Rule:
This proposed rule amends s. Trans 276.07 (11), Wis. Adm. Code, to add one segment of highway to the designated highway system established under s. 348.07 (4), Stats. The actual highway segment that this proposed rule adds to the designated highway system is:
Hwy. From To
STH 55 USH 41 STH 54 South of
in Kaukauna Seymour
Note: The proposed rule text often achieves these objectives by consolidating individual segments into contiguous segments with new end points. In order to determine the actual highway segment added, it is necessary to compare the combined old designations with the combined new designation.
The long trucks to which this proposed rule applies are those with 53-foot semitrailers, double bottoms and the vehicles which may legally operate on the federal National Network, but which exceed Wisconsin's regular limits on overall length. Generally, no person may operate any of the following vehicles on Wisconsin's highways without a permit: A single vehicle with an overall length in excess of 40 feet, a combination of vehicles with an overall length in excess of 65 feet, a semitrailer longer than 48 feet, an automobile haulaway longer than 66 feet plus allowed overhangs, or a double bottom. Certain exceptions are provided under s. 348.07 (2), Stats., which implements provisions of the federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act in Wisconsin.
Note: 45-foot buses are allowed on the National Network and Interstate system by Federal law. Section 4006 (b) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.
The effect of this proposed rule will be to extend the provisions of ss. 348.07 (2) (f), (fm), (gm) and (gr), and 348.08 (1) (e), Stats., to the highway segments listed above. As a result, vehicles which may legally operate on the federal National Network in Wisconsin will also be allowed to operate on the newly-designated highways. Specifically, this means there will be no overall length limitation for a tractor-semitrailer combination, a double bottom or an automobile haulaway on the affected highway segments. There also will be no length limitation for a truck tractor or road tractor when operated in a tractor-semitrailer combination or as part of a double bottom or an automobile haulaway. Double bottoms will be allowed to operate on the affected highway segments provided neither trailer is longer than 28 feet, 6 inches. Semitrailers up to 53 feet long may also be operated on these highway segments provided the kingpin-to-rear axle distance does not exceed 43 feet. This distance is measured from the kingpin to the center of the rear axle or, if the semitrailer has a tandem axle, to a point midway between the first and last axles of the tandem. Otherwise, semitrailers, including semitrailers which are part of an automobile haulaway, are limited to 48 feet in length.
These vehicles and combinations are also allowed to operate on undesignated highways for a distance of 5 miles or less from the designated highway in order to reach fuel, food, maintenance, repair, rest, staging, terminal or vehicle assembly or points of loading or unloading.
Fiscal Estimate
The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on the liabilities or revenues of any county, city, village, town, school district, technical college district or sewerage district.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The provisions of this proposed rule adding highway segments to the designated system have no direct adverse effect on small businesses, and may have a favorable effect on those small businesses which are shippers or carriers using the newly-designated routes.
