Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rules will not have a negative fiscal impact on small or large private sector emergency medical service providers or training centers because the proposed rules consolidate, clarify, and by inserting new standards of care, update existing rules.

Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Individuals from small businesses (e.g., private consulting firms) may choose to use the services provided in the rule. In the case of a pilot certification program, small businesses with certified employees may benefit from the rule by being able to provide additional services to their clients. These rules impose no compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses and thus are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. Therefore, under s.
227.19(3m), Stats., a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

Revises Chapter
NR 45, relating to use of departmental property. Effective 1-1-11.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule does not impose performance standards or compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses. Small business impacts from the commercial use permit fee increase will be minor as the permit fee increase is $20 per year. Even for a very small-scale business, the cost is likely to be easily absorbed by the business, and offset by revenues generated from the business conducted on the state property. This change is not expected to dramatically increase revenues to the system; rather it updates the fee relative to the value businesses receive from doing business on system properties, and the impact their work may have on the resources or facilities at the property. The current fee is significantly below market value, remains an economical choice for businesses or families to utilize, and is unlikely to impact demand.
The Corporate Event fee at Lakeshore State Park is $500 for less than 500 attendees and is intended to offset the additional expenses associated with sponsoring the event. The businesses impact is anticipated to be minimal for many small businesses.
