    Analysis Prepared by the Office of Justice Assistance
    Statutes interpreted
    Sections 16.964 (16) (a) and 349.027 , Stats.
    Statutory authority
    Section 16.964 (16) (b) , Stats.
    Explanation of agency authority
    Section 9101 (11y) , of 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 , a nonstatutory provision, directs that:
    (11y) RULE-MAKING RELATED TO TRAFFIC STOP INFORMATION COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. The office of justice assistance in the department of administration shall submit in proposed form the rules required under section 16.964 (16) (b) of the statutes, as created by this act, to the legislative council staff under section 227.15 (1) of the statutes no later than February 1, 2010.
    Under the provisions of s. 16.964 (16) (b) , Stats. as created by 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 , "(t)he office shall promulgate rules relating to . . ." (traffic stop data collection, submittal, analyses and reports). "Office" is defined to mean "the office of justice assistance." s. 16.964 (1) (g) , Stats.
    Related statute or rule
    Under s. 349.027 , Stats., the person in charge of a law enforcement agency shall "cause to be obtained" information required by the OJA rules relating to each traffic stop made on or after January 1, 2011. The person in charge of a law enforcement agency is also required to submit the information to the OJA using the process and format prescribed by OJA rules.
    Plain language analysis
    These rules fulfill a statutory mandate that OJA adopt rules relating to the collection of information on traffic stops by law enforcement agencies (agencies) and analysis of the collected information by OJA. By statute, the rules are to relate to:
      The types of information that agencies must collect and the circumstances under which it must be collected;
      The process and format that agencies must use to submit the collected information to the OJA;
      The types of analyses that OJA will perform; and,
      Requirements for making reports to the legislature.
    Proposed ch. OJA 1 , in s. OJA 1.03 , includes definitions of terms used in the statute and rule, including "law enforcement agency," "law enforcement officer," "person in charge of a law enforcement agency employing the law enforcement officer" "race or ethnicity" and "traffic stop."
    No later than June 30, 2010, the Department of Transportation and the OJA are to enter into a memorandum of understanding covering traffic stop data collection procedures, forms, procedures, costs, staffing and training. Among other things, the terms of the agreement are to minimize impact on the time and expense of law enforcement agencies. Section OJA 1.04 .
    In section OJA 1.05 , the rules describe the type of information that police officers must collect relating to traffic stops, categorized as operator, occupant, event and search data. The process that law enforcement agencies must use to submit traffic stop data to the Office of Justice Assistance is set out in s. OJA 1.06 .
    The types of data analysis that OJA will perform is described in s. OJA 1.07 . The analysis will be completed by the Statistical Analysis Center in OJA. The Center will analyze the traffic stop data under the tests identified in s. 16.964 (16) (a) , Stats., specifically, to determine:
    (a)   Whether the number of traffic stops involving motor vehicles operated or occupied by members of a racial minority is disproportionate to the number of traffic stops involving motor vehicles operated or occupied solely by persons who are not members of a racial minority.
    (b)   Whether the number of searches involving motor vehicles operated or occupied by members of a racial minority is disproportionate to the number of searches involving motor vehicles operated or occupied solely by persons who are not members of a racial minority.
    Under the rule, the analysis may also evaluate correlations between the race and ethnicity of vehicle occupants and traffic stop events such as search requests and stop duration. OJA may also note whether other factors, such as specific law enforcement strategies, may contribute to identified disproportionalities. OJA is required to identify benchmarks and other analytical tools used in preparing its reports.
    All of the OJA traffic stop reports shall be filed as required by statute and published on the agency's website. Section OJA 1.08 .
    Under section OJA 1.10 , a law enforcement agency that does not submit traffic stop data will be identified in OJA reports.
    Comparison with federal regulations
    There is no known federal law requiring the collection and analysis of data about the racial or ethnic characteristics of individuals involved in traffic stops. However, the Federal Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) 23 USC s. 1906 provides guidance on local legislation. Section 1906 provides incentive funding for states to enact a law that prohibits the use of racial profiling in highway law enforcement and to allow public inspection of statistical information for each motor vehicle stop regarding the race and ethnicity of the driver and passengers.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states
    Minnesota:
    In 2001, Minn. Stats. § 626.951 , provided for a statewide racial profiling study with voluntary participation by law enforcement agencies. Sixty-five jurisdictions participated, reporting 194,189 total stops. The 2003 report from this study analyzed one year of data collected from the sixty-five jurisdictions. The complete report is available at http://archive.leg.state.mn.us/docs/2004/mandated/040200.pdf . According to the Minnesota study,
      Law enforcement officers stopped Black, Latino, and American Indian drivers at greater rates than White drivers, searched Blacks, Latinos, and American Indians at greater rates than White drivers, and found contraband as a result of searches of Blacks, Latinos, and American Indians at lower rates than in searches of White drivers . . . . (2001 Report, p. 1)
    The report includes the conclusion that the patterns of disparate treatment ". . . suggest a strong likelihood that racial/ethnic bias plays a role in traffic stop policies and practices in Minnesota."
    Minnesota does not currently have a statewide law requiring law enforcement officers to collect data and prepare reports on the race of persons who are stopped or searched in a traffic stop. However, Minnesota does have a law that defines "racial profiling" and requires the chief law enforcement officer of every state and local law enforcement agency to enforce a written anti-racial profiling policy governing the conduct of officers engaged in stops of citizens. Minn. Stat. § 626.8471 .
    Iowa:
    Iowa does not currently have a law requiring the police to collect traffic stop data that includes the race or ethnicity of vehicle operators or passengers. Between October 1, 2000 and March 3, 2002, the Iowa State Patrol collected traffic stop data from over 260,000 traffic stops. A report was prepared in April 2003, by the Iowa state Patrol and the Iowa Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning.
    The 2003 Report, available at http://publications. iowa.gov/7228/1/Stop_Data.pdf , concluded, among other things, that,
      Can we say whether or not ISP troopers are stopping, ticketing, searching or arresting people differently because of their race? The data in this report do not conclusively answer this question. They do give us an indication that Iowans are not more or less likely to be stopped by ISP troopers because of their race. . . .
      The data in this report also do not definitively answer the question of whether or not the ISP troopers are influenced by a person's race or ethnicity when deciding whether to conduct a search or issue a warning vs. a formal sanction. The data do seem to indicate that race or ethnicity may have sometimes influenced decisions in these areas. However, such observations are only indications because a substantial number of cases had missing data and because the impact of numerous other variables that should affect such decisions is unknown (e.g. existence of outstanding warrants, severity of alleged traffic violations, visible contraband, incriminating driver or passenger behavior). (2003 Report p. 8)
    Illinois:
    Illinois began collecting traffic stop data and issuing annual reports on January 1, 2004. The Illinois law was substantially amended in 2008. A Racial Profiling Prevention and Data Oversight Board (Board) was created to oversee plans and strategies to eliminate racial profiling in Illinois.
    The recent 2008 Illinois report based on data reported from 2,518,825 traffic stops, sought to answer two questions.
      To what extent, if any, does race influence an officer's decision to stop a vehicle?
      To what extent, if any, does race influence the disposition of the stop? Was a citation issued? Was the vehicle subject to a consent search?
    The 2008 Illinois Report, available at http:// www.dot.state.il.us/trafficstop/meeting.html , concluded:
      The ratio of minority drivers stopped to the minority driving population has improved each year. That is, the percentage of minority divers stopped by the police is getting closer to the estimated driving population.
      Law enforcement agencies continue to pay careful attention to this issue and many have introduced policies and procedures to correct deficiencies.
      Our newest measures of post-stop performance — duration of stop — suggests that traffic stops of minority drivers consume about the same time as those for Caucasian drivers.
      The number of consent searches in Illinois continues to decline, but minority drivers are still more likely to be consent searched than Caucasian drivers. Differential refusal rates do not appear to contribute to this difference.
      Police officers conducting consent searches are far more likely to find contraband in a vehicle driven by a Caucasian driver than by a minority driver. While there has been a significant amount of attention devoted to this issue, there is little evidence at this point of substantial improvement. (2008 Report, p. 13)
    The Illinois Act sunsets on July 1, 2010. The Illinois Board must recommend whether to continue the Illinois racial profiling study beyond July 1, 2010 .
    Michigan:
    Michigan does not have a statewide law currently in effect requiring traffic stop data collection and analysis, although some local studies have been conducted in Michigan.
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    OJA utilized an advisory committee and public listening sessions in developing proposed ch. OJA 1 .

    Analysis Prepared by the Department of Natural Resources
    Statutes interpreted
    Sections 227.11 (2) (a) and 289.67 (2) (b) 1. , Stats.
    Statutory authority
    Summary of proposed rule
    The 2009-2011 biennial budget ( 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 , s. 2659 ) amended s. 289.67 (2) (b) 1. , Stats., to increase the annual base fee for large quantity and small quantity generators of hazardous waste. Section 2662 of Act 28 also created s. 289.67 (2) (de) , Stats., which requires the DNR to promulgate a rule that defines "large quantity generator" and "small quantity generator" for purposes of the fees. Under current hazardous waste rules, generator status is functionally described in text but there are no specific, comprehensive definitions.
    Section 9137 (2), a non-statutory provision in Act 28, allows the DNR to promulgate the required definitions through the emergency rule making procedures without having to provide a finding of emergency. The emergency order took effect March 17, 2010 and will remain in effect until July 1, 2011, or until a corresponding permanent rule takes effect if it is adopted sooner.
    The emergency order added a definition of "large quantity generator" and revised the definition of "small quantity generator" in ch. NR 660 , Wis. Adm. Code. Under prior hazardous waste rules, standards are set for large quantity and small quantity hazardous waste generators, so their status is functionally described, but there were no specific, comprehensive definitions of these terms. This proposed permanent rule is identical to the emergency rule. The definitions are consistent with and based upon the functional descriptions or standards that currently identify large quantity and small quantity generators.
    Comparison with federal regulations
    There is no specific definition of "large quantity generator" in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's hazardous waste regulations in 40 CFR § 260.10 , upon which s. NR 660.10 is based. Large quantity generator status is functionally described in text in 40 CFR Part 262 , Standards Applicable to Generators of Hazardous Waste . 40 CFR § 260.10 , includes a definition of "small quantity generator" but the definition is incomplete. Small quantity generator status is functionally described in text in 40 CFR Part 262 . The department proposes to add explicit, complete definitions of large and small quantity generators to s. NR 660.10 based on the state and federal functional definitions.
    Comparison of similar rules in adjacent states
    Minnesota:
    Minnesota's hazardous waste rules in s. 7045.026 define large and small quantity generators. These definitions are similar to the definitions in the proposed rule.
    Iowa:
    Iowa does not have a federally authorized hazardous waste program. The program is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 office in Kansas City, Mo., and the federal regulations are in effect in the state.
    Illinois:
    Illinois' hazardous waste rules have a definition for small quantity generator that is equivalent to the definition in the federal regulations. There is no definition of large quantity generator; however, a note after 35 Ill. Adm. Code 7220.127 states that the "[Illinois Pollution Control] Board interprets the term large quantity generator to mean a hazardous waste generator that is not a small quantity generator."
    Michigan:
    Under Michigan's rules in R 299.9107 (v), the definition of small quantity generator is equivalent to the federal definition. Large quantity generator is not defined in a rule.
    Factual data and analytical methodologies
    The proposed definitions are required by statute and reflect current state and federal functional definitions of "large quantity generator" and "small quantity generator" used in the state's hazardous waste management program and by US EPA.
    Analysis and supporting documentation used to determine the rule's effect on small businesses
    See above.
    Small Business Impact
    The proposed rules affect small businesses that are large quantity or small quantity generators of hazardous waste. There is no direct correlation between the definitions of "small business" and "large quantity generator" or "small quantity generator", so a precise assessment of the definitions' effect on small business is not possible. Small businesses may be either large quantity or small quantity generators of hazardous waste, or neither. In any case, under the revised hazardous waste generator base fee statute, the maximum additional amount that a large quantity generator would have to pay is $470. A small quantity generator would pay a maximum of $350 more than in past years.
    Under the statutory language in effect before the 2009-2011 biennial budget bill ( 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 ), all large quantity generators and small quantity generators who were required to submit a hazardous waste annual report were required to pay a base fee of $210 and $20 per ton for hazardous waste generated during the reporting year. The tonnage fee did not apply to any wastes that were recycled or reused, and if a generator recycled or reused all of its hazardous waste, it was not required to pay the base fee either.
    2009 Wis. Act 28 amended the statutes to increase the base fee from $210 to $350 for small quantity generators, and to $470 for large quantity generators. It also increased the maximum fee any generator would have to pay from $17,000 to $17,500 per year. In addition, the base fee was applied to all generators who are required to report, regardless of whether they recycled or reused any or all of their wastes. The per ton fee remains at $20 per ton.
    No new recordkeeping or reporting requirements are created and no new skills are required to comply with the proposed rules.
    The proposed rules are definitions only, but are a key component of the hazardous waste generator annual fee requirements set out in recently-revised s. 289.67 , Stats. The fee requirements (statutes and rules) will be enforced by department staff through compliance assistance, complaint follow-up and inspections. If a violation is found, the department normally uses a stepped enforcement process similar to the process it uses for other environmental programs.
    This stepped process includes the following:
      Notice of non-compliance, this is typically the first step in dealing with a problem and is usually done by a program specialist through a letter to the generator. It's expected that the generator, once notified of the problem will, correct the problem quickly.
      Notice of Violation, this is typically the second step in dealing with a problem and is a higher level of enforcement. Typically, the Notice of non-compliance hasn't resulted in the problem being resolved and this next step includes an opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with program and enforcement staff. At this meeting, it's expected that the generator will make commitments to resolve the problem and will follow through.
      Referral to the Attorney General for prosecution and injunctive relief, when appropriate. In addition to being liable for unpaid fees, a person who fails to pay fees in a timely manner may be subject to statutory enforcement mechanisms and penalties for hazardous waste violations as established in subchapter V of ch. 291 , Stats.
    The Department has made a preliminary determination that this action does not involve significant adverse environmental effects and does not need an environmental analysis under ch. NR 150 , Wis. Adm. Code. However, based on the comments received, the Department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the proposal. This environmental review document would summarize the Department's consideration of the impacts of the proposal and reasonable alternatives.
    Fiscal Estimate
    State fiscal effect
    Increase existing revenues.
    The most recent data for number of Hazardous Waste Generators is from 2008: 733 SQGs and 448 LQGs. Of the total SQGs, 390 SQGs reported fees, leaving 343 SQGs new to paying the revised fees. Of the total LQGs, 288 reported fees, leaving 160 LQGs new to paying the revised fees.
    Revenue Increase to Previous Payers:
    Number of
    Previous Payers
    Base Fee Increase
    Revenue Increase
    SQG = 390
    SQG = $140
    SQG = $ 54,600
    LQG = 288
    LQG = $260
    LQG = $ 74,800
    Total = $129,480

    LQG = 160
    LQG = $470
    LQG = $ 75,200
    Total = $195,250
    It is estimated that based on the number of 2008 HW generators paying the previous fee at the $17,000 previous maximum, the new revenue with the shift to the new $17,500 maximum will be $2,731.
    Total estimate new state revenue: $327,461.
    Fund sources affected
    SEG.
    Local government fiscal impact
    Increase costs.
    Over the last 3 years, on average 17 Local Units of Government (13 SQGs & 4 LQGs) generated hazardous waste at a level which required them to submit an annual report. Of those 17, on average 3 (2 SQGs & 1LQG) recycled or reused all of their wastes, so they were not required to pay the base fee (based on the previous statutory language).
