NR 809, relating to lead and copper monitoring and treatment requirements. Effective 12-1-02.

An order affecting ch.
NR 809, relating to public notification requirements for public water systems.
Effective 12-1-02.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
All 12,000 public water systems in Wisconsin will be affected by these revisions. All the basic requirements of these revisions already apply to small businesses classified as public water systems. Because these revisions simplify those requirements and reduce notice requirements for minor violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the overall impact on small businesses should be positive. Stringency of the rule revisions cannot be reduced without violating federal law.

An order affecting ch.
Trans 320, relating to calculation of fees for special events, security, traffic enforcement and escort services.
Effective 12-1-02.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The revision of those provisions of ch.
Trans 320 that are related to the assessment of charges for security and law enforcement services provided at public events for which an admission fee is required will not have an effect upon small businesses. Since a small business is considered to be a private agency, fees may be imposed under the existing provisions of ch.
Trans 320.
The expansion of ch.
Trans 320 to provide the state patrol with authority to charge fees for security and traffic law enforcement services provided during the installation, inspection, removal, relocation or repair of a utility facility locate don a highway mat have an impact upon small businesses. The primary impact would be the assessment of charges for services provided by the state patrol. During the past two years, the state patrol has received one request from a private agency for utility facility project services. This request was submitted by TouchAmerica, Inc., which does not meet the definition of small business.
Compliance with this rule making will not require small businesses to prepare any reports, and will not generate additional costs, except for the actual fee for services provided.
