Fiscal Estimate
If the new testing procedure is passed the public will expect law enforcement agencies who do boating enforcement to enforce this law on prop driven type boats within their jurisdiction. While this will increase the workload of these agencies, it is anticipated that the increase workload will be minimal and can be accomplished in the daily operations of these patrols.
The proposed rule and fiscal estimate may be reviewed and comments electronically submitted at the following Internet site: adminrules.wisconsin.gov. Written comments on the proposed rule may be submitted via U.S. mail to Mr. William Engfer, Bureau of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707. Comments may be submitted until June 9, 2006.

Analysis Prepared by the Public Service Commission
Wis. Admin. Code ch.
PSC 7 deals with assessments attributable to acid deposition studies and monitoring activities. The statute implemented by Wis. Admin. Code ch. PSC 7 was repealed by
1997 Wis. Act 27. Therefore, there is no reason to retain this administrative rule.
Wis. Admin. Code ch.
PSC 172, which deals with the regulation of certain wireless telecommunications providers, was nullified when the Wisconsin Telecommunications Act was passed. That Act ended, with very limited exceptions, the Commission's jurisdiction over wireless providers. Wis. Admin. Code ch. 170 deals with radio common carriers, a category of telecommunications providers that no longer exists. Therefore, there is no reason to retain these administrative rules.
A variety of other changes are made to bring rule language into conformity with current drafting conventions or to eliminate obsolete language.
