Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

1. Types of small businesses that will be affected by the rules.

The requirements of the Fire Prevention Code and the Commercial Building Code impact all businesses, regardless of size, utilizing public buildings and places of employment in Wisconsin. The codes impact a variety of businesses, including small businesses, particularly those businesses that design, build, or maintain commercial buildings; provide or produce building materials or components; own commercial buildings; or occupy commercial buildings. It is indeterminable how many small businesses may be impacted by the rules in some manner.

2. Reporting, bookkeeping and other procedures required for compliance with the rules.

The proposed rule revisions do not substantially modify the current administrative requirements of the Fire Prevention Code or the Commercial Building Code. Therefore, this type of impact on small businesses will not substantially change.

3. Types of professional skills necessary for compliance with the rules.

The codes establish numerous technical standards that are to be adhered to when designing, constructing, using, operating or maintaining a commercial building in order to protect public health, safety and welfare. The design, construction and maintenance of public buildings and places of employment typically necessitate building owners to acquire the services of architects, engineers, designers and various tradesmen, including plumbers, electricians, sheet metal workers, carpenters, sprinkler fitters and contractors.

4. Rules have a significant economic impact on small businesses.

No. Rules not submitted to Small Business Regulatory Review Board

Fiscal Estimate

The proposed rules will not have a significant effect on the private sector.

The small business regulatory coordinator for the Department of Commerce is Carol Dunn, who may be contacted at telephone [phone], or Email at [e-mail].
