Chs. Comm 2, 3, 20, 50 to 64, 66, 70, 75, and 90 - One- and Two-Family Dwellings, Commercial Buildings, and Multifamily Dwellings.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
An independent inspection agency asked that plan examination be waived for all buildings under 25,000 cubic feet in volume. Adequate data to support this waiver was not available.
An independent plan review company recommended several changes that would allow the private sector to directly perform some of the Department's plan review, rather than indirectly perform the review through agreements with local governments. The Department disagreed with the recommendation.
The independent plan review company also recommended requiring Departmentally sanctioned private-sector plan review for the projects where the Department proposed to discontinue its plan review because of voluntary design and construction supervision by a registered architect or engineer. The company noted the recommendation would satisfy a statutory requirement to obtain Departmental plan examination prior to obtaining local construction or use permits. The Department disagreed with the recommendation and is not creating an administrative rule to mandate the involvement of such private-sector entities.
The independent plan review company also recommended designating an appeals board that would be independent of the Department, for considering appeals to Departmental decisions, as occurs at local governments. The Department disagreed with the recommendation because by law the Department is the only agency responsible for public buildings and places of employment, and because another layer of delays would then result, which would not be necessary.
The independent plan review company also recommended that the appeals procedure for variances which was proposed at the Division Administrator and Secretary levels be made available also for appealing other decisions within the Division. The Department did not agree that a rule change reflecting this recommendation was needed to resolve internal conflicts.

The proposed rules of Clearinghouse Rule No. 00-038 are minimum requirements to meet the directives of the Statutes, and any exceptions from compliance for small businesses would be contrary to the Statutory objectives which are the basis for the rules.

Ch. NR 135 - Nonmetallic mining reclamation.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
The new law and this rule impose compliance and reporting requirements on small businesses.There will be little or no difference in the compliance and reporting requirements imposed on small mine operators versus large mine operators. The rule will require that all operators submit a reclamation plan for approval by the regulatory authority. The need to obtain some form of financial assurance to guarantee performance of the reclamation activities detailed in their reclamation plan will be imposed on small operators and may prove more problematic than for larger operators.
The amount of fees will be partially dependent upon the size of the mining operation. All operations will need to pay fees on an annual basis and these fees will be based, in part, on the acreage affected and unreclaimed attendant to the current operation.
