(4), and
101.973 (1), Stats., authorize the Department to promulgate rules prescribing minimum construction and operation standards and fire prevention standards for public buildings and places of employment, including multifamily dwellings.

An order affecting ch.
Comm 110, relating to brownfields grant program.
Effective 7-1-02
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The rule somewhat increases the flexibility for all businesses and owners associated with brownfields properties by (1) expanding the listing of applicants who are eligible to receive redevelopment grants, to include trustees and nonprofit organizations; and (2) revising the criteria for disallowing funding, to no longer exclude projects that include temporary or other inconsequential displacement of workers.
The rule also updates and clarifies several aspects of the application procedure that have evolved since the chapter was initially created as an emergency rule in 1997, which may enable some small businesses to more easily apply for the grants.
The rule also eliminates a current requirement to submit semi-annual financial reports, because these reports are no longer considered necessary.
The rule will not impose additional costs or require additional investments by small businesses.
No issues unique to small business were raised during the public hearing or legislative review periods.

An order affecting ch.
Comm 122, relating to physician and dentist loan assistance program and ch.
Comm 128, relating to health care provider loan assistance program.
Effective 7-1-02
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
As required by
2001 Wisconsin Act 16, the proposed rules add dentists and dental hygienists to the health care loan assistance program administered by the Department. In order to allow some flexibility in enforcement of the minimum number of Medicaid and Badger Care patients a dentist must service, the rules include a waiver provision. This provision may be applied on a case-by-case and year-to-year basis upon a Department review that shows the dentist made a significant effort to meet the minimum number of patients.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
