This rule making proposes to exempt signs under 8 square feet in area from an annual fee requirement. Also exempted are public utility, public service, political, real estate, official notice, farm and agricultural test plot signs.
Applicants for sign permits will be generally be required to pay the one-time $175 sign permit application fee. Exempted from this requirement are public utility, public service, real estate, farm, agricultural test plot, political, service club and religious notice and official signs. The Department has not collected sign permit application fees from these entities historically. The Department does not anticipate that the one-time $175 application fee structure will adversely affect small businesses.
Because the rule application process and annual fee billing and payment processes are relatively straightforward and simple, because many exemptions from fee requirements exist, and because DOT district sign permit coordinators are available to assist small businesses in completing permit applications and determining whether a proposed sign site is acceptable under s. 84.30, Stats., the Department concluded further simplifying the permit process or creating different deadline dates for small businesses is unwarranted.
Workforce Development
(CR 00-108)
Rules relating to the state directory of new hires.
Effective 5-1-01
Summary of final regulatory flexibility analysis
The proposed rules have no significant impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1) (a), Stats, since the requirement of employers to file new hire reports is already mandated by federal and state statutes. Six of the items required to be reported are mandated by federal law. Additional items required by rule are “date of birth," “date of hire," and “state in which the employee will work, if other than Wisconsin." The department will waive the “date of birth" requirement if it determines that the employer is unable to obtain it. “Date of hire" and “state in which the employee will work, if other than Wisconsin" are requested only to further the goals of the statutes and are not required if the employer fulfills the new hire filing requirement by submitting a completed W-4 form. These W-4 forms are already required for all businesses with employees under the Internal Revenue Code and therefore do not impose additional paperwork.
