The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin adopts an order to repeal ch.
PSC 98, Wis. Admin. Code, relating to rules adopted to meet all requirements in section 303.304 of the regulations of the Federal Price Commission in regard to increases in rates or charges of utilities, railroads, motor carriers, and carriers by water within the Public Service Commission's jurisdiction.
Analysis Prepared by the Public Service Commission
PSC Chapter
98 was created in Docket No. PC-1 on October 10, 1972. The rules were adopted to meet all requirements in section 303.304 of the regulations of the Federal Price Commission in regard to increases in rates or charges of utilities, railroads, motor carriers, and carriers by water within the Public Service Commission's jurisdiction. It was created in response to the creation of the Price Commission under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970. The Price Commission was established by Executive Order No. 11627, 1971, by the Nixon Administration to stabilize prices. This was a time of freezes on the prices of all commodities and services offered for sale except the prices charged for raw agricultural products.
Present Status
The authority contained in the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended, to impose a system of mandatory wage and price controls expired on April 30, 1974, Executive Order No. 11781. Executive Order No. 11788 dated June 18, 1974, provided for the orderly termination of economic stabilization activities and in Section 10 revoked Executive Order No. 11627 of October 15, 1971. It also abolished the Cost of Living Council in Section 1.
Based upon this information there is not a need for the continued existence of Chapter
PSC 98.
Text of Proposed Rule
SECTION 1. Ch. PSC 98 is repealed.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The rules being repealed are not expected to affect small business as defined in s. 227.114 (1), Stats.
Fiscal Estimate
This repeal of this rule has no fiscal impact.
The Price Commission was established in 1970 under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970. The Act was created to help stabilize prices. The authority contained in the Act to impose a system of mandatory wage and price controls expired April 30, 1974. There does not appear to be a need for the continued existence of the Chapter. Elimination of the chapter does not have any fiscal effect on state or local government.
Notice of Hearing
NOTICE IS GIVEN that pursuant to s.
227.16 (2) (b), Stats., the Commission will hold a public hearing on these proposed rule changes in the Amnicon Falls Hearing Room, at the Public Service Commission Building, 610 North Whitney Way, Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. This building is accessible to people in wheelchairs through the Whitney Way (lobby) entrance.
