Within the outstanding resource water designations, applicants seeking permits under ch.
30, Stats., would likely not be eligible for exemptions nor for general permits. Instead individual permits may be needed. New wastewater dischargers to those areas would have to provide high levels of treatment to prevent lowering water quality. However, it is unlikely that new dischargers or ch.
30, Stats., permit applicants would be using some of these areas because of current ownership. As an example, the Apostle Island National Lakeshore is in federal ownership. Several of the river mouths are likewise properties managed by the department.

An order affecting ch.
NR 20, relating to hook and line walleye, sauger and hybrids fishing in Sherman Lake, Vilas Co.
Effective 8-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Small businesses in the vicinity of Sherman Lake will most likely benefit economically from the rule change. Sherman Lake will provide a fishing opportunity for anglers when other waters are closed to fishing, thus attracting anglers to the area to take advantage of this unique fishing opportunity.

Nursing Home Administrator Examining Board
(
CR 06-010)
An order affecting chs.
NHA 1 to
3, relating to continuing education. Effective 8-1-06.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The proposed rule would change the specific subject matter area requirements for continuing education for nursing home administrators licensed in Wisconsin. There are 3,124 nursing home administrators licensed in Wisconsin. Of the 3,124 nursing home administrators licensed in Wisconsin, a significant percentage of them probably work in small businesses.
In order for nursing home administrators to renew their license, continuing education courses would have to be completed. Currently, to obtain credit for coursework taken at a college or university, the course work must be approved by the National Association of Boards of Examiners of Long Term Care Administrators (NAB). The rule would allow certain course work offered at a college or university to be accepted for continuing education without obtaining approval from NAB. The rule would also limit the course work taken at colleges or universities to 18 of the 24 hours required. There will be no additional reporting requirements, bookkeeping requirements, or compliance costs. This rule would merely allow certain courses to be taken without obtaining approval from NAB. The same 24 hour requirement would be in place. This rule change will not have an effect on small business.
These proposed rules will have no significant economic impact on small businesses, as defined in s.
