DATCP has not incorporated a small business enforcement policy in this rule. This rule will benefit businesses that sell commodities in more than one state, because it incorporates many of the NIST model standards and thus makes Wisconsin standards more consistent with standards used in 45 other states. While this rule does add some new standards to current rules, those standards are based on NIST standards with which most affected businesses are already complying.
