NR 1, relating to the cooperating forester program and private forestry priorities for assistance.
Effective 12-1-01
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule should increase business for private enterprise. The changes in work priorities for Department foresters emphasize their role in giving landowners objective initial guidance followed by referral to private enterprise resource managers to implement the work. Since participation in the Cooperating Forester Program is entirely voluntary, those firms that are in disagreement with the new policies are free to continue their businesses independently from the program.

An order revising ch.
Trans 195, relating to fees for searching, verifying and certifying motor vehicle records.
Effective 12-1-01
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule will have negligible impact on small businesses. Vehicle record abstracts are generally obtained by attorneys and private investigators, towing companies, debt collectors, and similar businesses. While these businesses will be required to pay an increased fee, the number of vehicle record abstracts which any single business obtains is a very small number (about 50,000 vehicle records are accessed annually, in a statewide fleet of about 4.5 million vehicles). Thus, a $2 per record fee increase will have negligible impact on any single business. The telephone account minimum fee, representing 6 vehicle records checked in a month, is accounted for within the numbers cited above.
About 2,500 certifications and verifications each year are requested, for vehicle records (out of a fleet of about 4.5 million vehicles). About 2,000 certifications and verifications of driver license records are requested each year (in a population of about 3.5 million drivers). Thus, a $2 per certification/verification fee increase will have negligible impact on any single business.
