Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed revisions to ch. NR 10 pertain to the rules relating to the control and eventual eradication of chronic wasting disease from the state's deer herd and impose no compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses, nor are there any design or operational standards contained within the proposed rules. Therefore, under s. 227.19 (3m), Stats., a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

Workforce Development
(CR 05-056)
An order affecting ch. DWD 272, relating to increasing Wisconsin's minimum wages. Effective 9-1-05.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Department response on a possible exemption of small businesses from the requirements of the rule. Department economists estimate that a very high percentage of workers affected by the proposed minimum wage increase work for employers that meet the definition of small business in s. 227.114 (1), Stats. If the rule exempted these employers from minimum wage coverage, it would render the minimum wage nearly meaningless.
Department response on less stringent deadline for compliance. Section 227.22 (2) (e), Stats., provides that if a rule has a significant economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s. 227.114 (1), Stats., the rule shall apply to small businesses on the first day of the 3rd month commencing after the date of publication of the rule. This provision applies to the proposed rule and adds an extra 2 months to the promulgation time frame. To avoid confusion, the rule will apply to all businesses on the first day of the 3rd month commencing after the date of publication of the rule.
Summary of issues raised by small businesses during the hearings. No comments were received during the hearings. Representatives from the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, Wisconsin Restaurant Association, Wisconsin Grocers Association, National Federation of Independent Businesses-Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Merchant Federation served on the Minimum Wage Advisory Council. The Advisory Council's recommendations are incorporated in the proposed rule.
