Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
The proposed rules were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources. The Senate Committee on Environmental Resources held a public hearing on March 15, 2001. The Senate Committee requested the Department to remove the January deer bow season, extend the current September to November deer bow season by 2 days, remove the December deer gun season, and create a 2-day deer gun season on the Saturday and Sunday immediately after the regular deer gun season.
The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing on April 2, 2001 and requested modifications to the proposed rule.
At its May 23, 2001 meeting, the Natural Resources Board adopted modifications that concluded the late archery season on January 3, extended the early archery season by 4 days, included an experimental 4-day December antlerless gun season north of US highway 8 and clarified the state park herd control seasons.
On June 6, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources requested further modifications. At its October 26, 2001 meeting, the Natural Resources Board modified the December experimental gun deer season to be in effect for 3 years, after which it would discontinue or sunset according to the rule. The Board declined to add 7 days to the end of the traditional 9-day deer gun season.
On November 7, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources objected to 4 portions of Clearinghouse Rule No. 00-154 and referred those portions of the rule to the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. The Committee specifically objected to those parts of the rule that:
1. Created a 4-day December antlerless only deer hunting season for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons.
2. Sets the day in October for the start of the 4-day antlerless only deer season, allowing the use of bows and guns, in a special deer herd control hunt.
3. Authorizes a 4-day early bow season immediately prior to the 9-day gun season.
4. Allows gun license deer to be registered only in the unit where the deer was killed or an adjoining unit.
The portions of the rule referred to the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules have been removed from Natural Resources Board Order No. WM-40-00 until such time as the Joint Committee takes action on the objections.

NR 103 and
350, relating to wetland compensatory mitigation.
Effective 2-1-02
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rules do not directly regulate small business. Therefore, a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
The proposed rules were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Environment and the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources. On August 14, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Environment held a public hearing and requested modifications to the proposed rule. On August 31, 2001, the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources requested modifications to the proposed rule.
Both committees suggested changes to the sequence for mitigation in s.
NR 350.04, specifically looking at how the Department “grandfathers" existing banks that were developed prior to this proposed rule. The Natural Resources Board adopted the Senate's recommendation, though it appeared that it was not different in intent from the Assembly's version. The Senate also recommended eliminating the ratio variance language for those filling more than 20 acres of wetland. The Natural Resources Board did not propose to make that change.
Oc October 10, 2001, the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources formally objected to proposed s.
NR 350.06 (3) on the grounds that it was arbitrary and capricious. On October 11, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Environment objected to proposed s.
NR 350.04 on the grounds that it was arbitrary and capricious.
On November 14, 2001, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules held a public hearing Clearinghouse Rule No. 00-164. Following the hearing, the Committee did not uphold the objection of the Assembly Committee on Environment. The Committee did uphold the objection of the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources.
The rule filed with the Revisor of Statutes for publication does not include proposed s.
NR 350.06 (3).
