Analysis Prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: s. 348.27(9r) and (12)
STATUTE INTERPRETED: s. 348.27(9r) and (12)
General Summary of Proposed Rule.
An act of Congress declared a portion of USH 51 and STH 87 to be part of Interstate I-39. By this act, Congress also allowed the continued operation of overweight, divisible loads which are customarily prohibited from movement on Interstate highways. Corresponding changes in state statute were made in the 1995-97 Transportation Biennial Budget, 1995 Wis. Act 113. However, for one type of overweight, divisible permit - garbage and refuse - the prohibition on Interstate movement appears only in the administrative rule. In order to allow overweight movement on the portion of I-39 which had been USH 51/STH 78, we need to revise the administrative rule.
This proposal will amend ch. Trans 269 to clarify that overweight movement of scrap is allowed on that portion of I-39 that had been USH 51; this makes the rule consistent with statutory change.
Finally, since ch. Trans 269 must be amended for the above reasons, we propose to eliminate wording which is no longer relevant. This wording allows specific overweight movement on a portion of I 43, and this permission expired September 30, 1994.
The proposed rule change will benefit municipalities and counties by avoiding increased cost for removal of garbage and by avoiding increased travel on local roads by heavy vehicles. It will benefit the public by keeping heavy trucks off surface streets, avoiding traffic hazard. It will benefit the waste hauling industry by continuing most efficient transport routes. It will benefit law enforcement by maintaining status quo usage and keep this permit type parallel with all other similar permits.
Fiscal Impact
The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on the liabilities or revenues of any county, city, village, town, school district, technical college district or sewerage district.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This proposed rule will have no adverse impact on small businesses.
