NR 135 and
340, relating to the reclamation of nonmetallic mining sites. Effective 12-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The existing rule contains several provisions designed to help small businesses that are not affected by these proposed revisions The proposed revisions provide less stringent requirements and reduce the burden in complying with fees and annual reports. The revisions do this by consolidating the compliance and reporting requirements through synchronization of the due dates for fees and reports as opposed to the current procedures which have two separate due dates. In the current rule, fees are paid in advance and reports are based on the previous year. The revision simplifies the situation by requiring that fee submittal and annual reporting are for the same calendar year. The proposed revisions to ch.
NR 340 change program requirements for financial assurance. In those cases where operators are regulated by ch.
NR 340, there will be more financial assurance options available to the operator.
