The Department has broad authority under s. 95.20, Stats., to prohibit or regulate the importing of animals into this state or the movement of animals if there are reasonable grounds to believe it is necessary to prevent the introduction or spread of disease in this state.
The Department has specific rulemaking authority on reporting animal diseases under s. 95.22 (2), Stats., certificates of veterinary inspection under s. 95.45 (4) (c), Stats., regulation of the farm-raised deer industry under s. 95.55 (6), Stats., regulation of fish farms under s. 95.60 (3) and (4s), Stats., regulation of animal markets under s. 95.68 (8), Stats., regulation of animal dealers under s. 95.69 (8), Stats., regulation of animal truckers under s. 95.71 (8), Stats., and regulation of feed lots under s. 95.715 (2) (d), Stats.
Related Statutes and Rules
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has statutes and rules that are closely related to some of the program areas in the Department.

Plain Language Analysis
The proposed rule makes the following modifications to provide for flexibility, clarity and consistency:
1. Definitions and terms.
The proposed rule makes the following changes to definitions and terms:
Replaces the phrase, “buying or selling” with “trading in” under the definition of animal market to match the statutory definition under s. 95.68 (1) (ag), Stats.
Adds a definition of “trading in livestock or wild animals” to clarify that animal markets trade, buy, sell or swap livestock or wild animals.
Changes the spelling of “feedlot” to “feed lot” to match statutory language.
Modifies the definition of “Brucellosis and Tuberculosis uniform methods and rules” and “Johne’s disease national program standards” to clarify that official individual identification requirements of any animal tested for these diseases must meet the requirements specified under ch. ATCP 10 and not the identification requirements specified under the uniform methods and rules or national program standards.
Changes the definition of “farm-raised deer” under ch. ATCP 10 to match the definition of “farm-raised deer” under ch. ATCP 12.
Changes the term, “federally approved livestock import market,” to “federally approved livestock marketing facility.”
Changes the definition of “individual” under ch. ATCP 12 to match the definition of “individual” under ch. ATCP 10.
