Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees
The rules were reviewed by the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Transportation and the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources. On September 28, 2005, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing. At the hearing, the department was asked whether or not the question raised at the public hearing relating to repealing the definition of “critical habitat areas" had been resolved. The repeal of the definition does not weaken the protection of endangered species and habitat. The code changes are intended to clarify that the department has the authority to protect endangered and threatened species under s.
29.604, Stats., but very limited authority to protect habitat. whether critical or not. No modification requests were received as a result of this hearing.
An order affecting ch.
NR 20, relating to Lake Winnebago sturgeon spearing. Part effective 2-1-06. Part effective 3-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule will not regulate small businesses. However, small businesses around the Winnebago system most likely will benefit economically from the sturgeon spearing season. The establishment of an annual upriver lakes fishery could serve to more widely distribute the economic benefits of the season.
