6. List with Description of all Entities that may be Affected by the Proposed Rule
The proposed rule will primarily affect sport anglers. As with any change in regulations, there will be a requirement for anglers to learn the new rules. The department works to notify the public of new regulations via press releases, the internet, and fishing regulations pamphlets.
The proposal to require that Asian carp are dead and unrevivable before transporting in or through Wisconsin would affect fish haulers from other states and potentially commercial fishers in Wisconsin if Asian carp numbers increase. There is only a small number of Asian carp in Wisconsin waters so far and this proposal is intended to keep it that way by educating fishers and haulers on safe methods for transporting the invasive species.
7. Summary and Preliminary Comparison with any Existing or Proposed Federal Regulation that is Intended to Address the Activities to be Regulated by the Proposed Rule
Authority to promulgate fishing regulations is granted to states. None of the proposed changes violate or conflict with federal regulations.
8. Anticipated Economic Impact of Implementing the Rule (Note if the Rule is Likely to Have a Significant Economic Impact on Small Businesses)
It is not expected that there will be any economic impact or change directly related to these rule changes. The proposed rule will primarily affect sport anglers. Regulations are already in place and this rule is intended to continue protection and enhancement of the State's fish resources. One purpose of the rule is to help maintain the general economic impact of fishing throughout Wisconsin.
The department will conduct an economic impact analysis to determine if any individuals, businesses, local governments, or other entities expect to be adversely affected economically by the rule. The proposed rule does not impose any reporting requirements on small businesses nor are any design or operational standards contained in the rule. The rule does not allow for the potential to establish a reduced fine for small businesses, nor does it establish “alternative enforcement mechanisms" for “minor violations" of administrative rules made by small businesses. Minimal to no economic impact. (Level 3)
9. Anticipated Number, Month, and Locations of Public Hearings
The department anticipates holding 72 public hearings in the month of April 2015. The rule will be available for public review and comments at the 2015 Fish and Wildlife Spring Hearings held on the second Monday of April 2015.
The department will hold these hearings in these locations to get statewide public input on all proposals. The draft list of questions that will be on the Spring Hearings questionnaire will be provided to the Natural Resources Board in January 2015.
