Effective 6-1-14.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Minimal economic impact is expected overall for businesses, business associations, public utility rate payers, or local governmental units. The proposed rule would not adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, jobs, or the overall economic competitiveness of the State.
The proposed rule change would impact fishing tournament organizers and sport anglers who participate in fishing tournaments. No additional compliance or reporting requirements will be imposed on small businesses as a result of these rule changes.
Based on one comment received during the economic impact comment period from a bait and tackle business, the rule may have a beneficial impact for some businesses, such as bait and tackle shops located near popular tournament areas.

Natural Resources
Fish, Game, etc., Chs. 1
(DNR # FR-20-12)
An order of the Department of Natural Resources to repeal section NR 45.045 (2) (b); to renumber section NR 45.045 (2) (d) and (e); and to amend section NR 45.045 (2) (a), relating to decreasing the distance from which firewood may be brought onto state lands from 25 to 10 miles and allowing wood from out of state to enter state lands if originating within 10 miles.
Effective 6-1-14.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Small vendors just outside state campgrounds are already getting their firewood from close by given the current 25 mile limit on allowable wood. For this reason, we do not anticipate an additional impact on these vendors with the decrease to 10 miles. It may have a beneficial effect on vendors who are certified as treating their wood by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection as it could increase the convenience of their product since it can be brought onto any state property, regardless of where it originated.

Natural Resources
Fish, Game, etc., Chs. 1
(DNR # FH-25-15)
An order of the Department of Natural Resources to amend section NR 25.10 (1) (c), relating to the number, placement, and removal of commercial fishing trap nets in the Restricted Use Area of Lake Superior.
Effective 6-1-14.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Commercial fishers may need to reduce the number or alter placement of trap nets in the Restricted Use Area, but the rule is not expected to significantly impact their ability to harvest fish from this area according to applicable laws and statutes.
Minimal economic impact is anticipated as a result of this rule change. Commercial fishing effort may be redistributed to other areas, possibly requiring additional travel for some fishers, but no quota or fishing effort changes are expected.
The Department's main concern is to increase navigational safety and expand safe fishing and boating opportunities. The rule was written to ensure commercial fishers' economic needs were included. In addition, based on one comment received during the economic impact comment period and two public hearing comments received, the rule may benefit charter fishing businesses in the Restricted Use Area of Lake Superior.
Minimal impact is expected for businesses or business associations. No additional reporting requirements will be imposed on small businesses as a result of these rule changes.
Response to Small Business Regulatory Review Board Report
