Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Rule Subject: Petroleum and Other Liquid Fuel Products
Adm. Code Reference: ATCP 92
Rules Clearinghouse #:
DATCP Docket #: 24-R-05
Rule Summary
The department proposes to amend Wis. Admin. Code ch. ATCP 92 to include regulatory standards for electric vehicle charging stations that charge a fee based on the amount of kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity consumed as a weights and measures device. Small Business Affected
_Hlk194422424The rule would impact owners, operators, manufacturers, installers, testers, and those who service commercial electric vehicle charging stations as they would be subject to regulations that incorporate the new standard. Individuals who do not currently have a license related to weights and measures may be required to obtain such a license. Weights and Measures installers, service companies, and their employees who engage in activities governed by rules adopted under Wis. Stat. s. 98.18 (2) may be affected. If national standards are adopted to regulate commercial electric vehicle charging stations in Wisconsin, drivers of electric vehicles could experience greater confidence when using commercial electric vehicle charging stations.
Recordkeeping requirements
There are no changes to recordkeeping requirements in the rule itself, and the standards do not change recordkeeping requirements.
Accommodation for Small Business
Some of the businesses affected by this rule may be small businesses, including owners/operators of commercial electric vehicle charging stations or service or technician companies. However, given the subject matter, there are little to no accommodations or special exceptions that can be made for small businesses.
Conclusion
This rule will have minimal impact on affected businesses, including “small businesses.” Negative effects, if any, will be few and limited. Because this rule will not have a significant
adverse effect on “small business,” it is not subject to the delayed “small business” effective date provided in Wis. Stat. s. 227.22 (2) (e). Dated this ______ day of _________________, 2025.
