  • Statutory authority
    Section 227.11 (2) , Stats.
    Explanation of agency authority
    Section 227.11 (2) (a) , Stats., authorizes the Department to promulgate rules interpreting any statute that is enforced or administered by the Department, if the rule is considered necessary to effectuate the purpose of the statute.
    Related statute or rule
    Chapters SPS 381 to 387 .
    Plain language analysis
    The major change in this proposed rule lies within s. SPS 382.20 (2) (a) whereby the requirement of employing two full-time plumbing inspectors is no longer required for the granting of or maintaining municipal agent status. In addition, the proposed rules correct a typographical error in s. SPS 382.40 (6) (a) and update Appendix A-382.20 (2) to direct the reader to the department's webpage to access the most current listings of agents for plumbing plan review and Appendix A-382.3333 (9) (f)-1 (Note), which reflects the correct citation in the Commercial Building Code, ch. SPS 364 .
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation
    None.
    Comparison with rules in adjacent states
    An Internet-based search found the following requirements for plumbing plan review at the local level in the four adjacent states:
    By Illinois statutes and codes each local governmental unit shall with the advice of the State Department of Public Health, provide by ordinance, bylaws, or rules and regulations for the materials, construction, alteration, and inspection of all plumbing placed in or in connection with any building and to provide for and appoint a competent plumbing inspector or more as required. In addition, "No person shall be appointed as a Plumbing Inspector who is not a licensed plumber under this Act, including persons employed as Plumbing Inspectors in home rule units." [225 ILCS 320/18 (Ch. 111 , par. 1117)] No mention of staffing levels for conducting such review or inspection was found.
    The State of Iowa has adopted the 2009 edition of the UPC, (uniform plumbing code) as rule 641—Chapter 25 (105), Iowa Administrative Code. The search revealed that a separation of state-level plan review and inspection are conducted on the local level when that local unit of government adopts an ordinance to enforce the state codes. However, no mention of staffing levels or credentials for individuals conducting such review or inspection was found.
    In the Michigan construction code, (part 7. plumbing code, R 408.30701), the code official enforces such code. Michigan maintains a statewide jurisdiction list that contains the units of government having assumed responsibility for plan review of various trades' permits, including plumbing. No information was found as to the application or approval requirements for a unit of government to be included on this list or any stipulated staffing levels in this regard.
    In Minnesota plumbing installations and licenses are maintained in Minn. Stat. §326B.43; Minn. Rule 4715. Regarding plan submittal and review, the state recognizes cities of the first class (Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth) as having their own plumbing programs, including plan submittal and review. A number of other municipalities in this state have plan review agreements with the state agency overseeing plumbing and therefore, take responsibility for plan review on most plumbing projects. No information was found as to the application or approval requirements for a city to be granted plan review with respect to stipulated staffing levels.
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    The proposed rules were included in a listing of suggested code revisions from the Small Business Regulatory Review Board (SBRRB), October 2012. The recommended changes are expected to make the granting of agent status for plumbing plan review less burdensome to municipalities who desire to be authorized to conduct such service.
    Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business or in preparation of economic impact analysis
    The proposed rules follow the direction of Executive Order 61 whereby reducing the burden to job creation while complying with the provisions of state statutes. This proposed rule would provide flexibility in staffing levels based on local need and may allow municipalities to utilize staff on a part-time or as-needed basis.

    Effect on Small Business
    The department does not believe that the proposed rules will create an impact on small businesses.

    Local governmental units could now request agent status for plumbing plan review without employing two full-time plumbing inspectors. Additional revenues could result from conducting this service at the local level.
    13. Benefits of Implementing the Rule and Alternative(s) to Implementing the Rule
    The department would be in the position to authorize more municipalities agent status to conduct plumbing plan review. The department would have the opportunity to streamline internal processes and provide a shortened plumbing plan review turn-around time, while balancing staffing levels with demand for services.

    Statutory authority
    Explanation of agency authority
    The Podiatrists Affiliated Credentialing Boards is charged with promulgating rules that govern their profession via ss. 15.085 (5) (b) and 440.035 (1) , Stats., under the oversight of the Medial Examining Board. Pursuant to s. 448.63 (3) , Stats., the Podiatrists Affiliated Credentialing Board has authority to write rules concerning various classes of temporary licensure. Section 448.665 , Stats., grants rule writing authority for establishing requirements for continuing education. Therefore the Podiatrists Affiliated Credentialing Board is generally and specifically vested with the authority to promulgate these rules.
    Related statute or rule
    Wis. Admin. Code Chapters Pod 1 and Pod 3 .
    Plain language analysis
    The proposed rule will address two issues: license holders having to reapply for a temporary license half way through their post graduate training and the requirements for licensees seeking first time renewal. By changing the duration of the temporary license from 1 year to 2 years, the proposed rule eliminates the need for temporary licensees to reapply for licensure while they are completing their post graduate training. As to the second issue, the proposed rule allows first time renewal applicants to use proof of graduation from a school of podiatric medicine to comply with the 50 requisite continuing education hours currently required by rule. This alleviates the burden on new licensees who's first time renewal occurs towards the end of a renewal period.
    SECTION 1. amends the provision governing the duration of temporary licensure changing the requirement from1 year to 2 years.
    SECTION 2. creates a provision for accepting proof that the podiatrist graduated from a school of podiatric medicine.
    SECTION 3. creates a provision accepting a certified copy of an official transcript or a certified copy of a diploma from a school of podiatric medicine and surgery to verify, when audited, compliance with the continuing education requirement.
    Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation

R. 6900.0300 Subp.1a. (2011)
    Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies
    The Podiatrists Affiliated Credentialing Board reviewed the pertinent rules and determined that s. Pod 1.08 (5) should be revised to address the issue of podiatric temporary license holders reapplying for a temporary license half way through their required 2-year post graduate training. The issue is resolved by these proposed rules by changing the duration of temporary licensure from1 year to 2 years. There was also a need to resolve the issue of licensees who are first time renewals seeking to fulfill their 50 hours of continuing education. These proposed rules will allow applicants, in the first year of their renewal period, to satisfy the continuing education requirement with approved verified documentary evidence of graduation from a school of podiatric medicine and surgery such as a verified copy of the diploma conferring the degree of doctor of podiatric medicine. The Board ensures the accuracy, integrity, objectivity and consistency of the data used in preparing the proposed rule and related analysis.

    Pursuant to Wis. Stat. s. 448.63, persons seeking licensure as a podiatrists in Wisconsin must complete 2 years of post graduate training. A temporary educational license allows individuals currently participating in postgraduate training to practice podiatric medicine. However, per Wis. Admin.

    Wis. Stats. s. 38.04 (10) .
    Explanation of agency authority
    Wis. Stats. s. 38.04 (10) states that the technical college system board shall review and approve any proposals by district boards for land acquisition, additional or new facilities, rentals or remodeling of existing facilities.
    Related statute or rule
    Wis. Stats. s. 38.15 .
    Plain language analysis
    The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) recently reviewed the Facility Development Procedures contained in Chapter TCS 5 of the Wis. Admin. Code to ensure that the process is efficient for both the System and its colleges while maintaining a high quality process that supports the statutory responsibilities of the WTCS Board. The proposed modifications to the code will eliminate redundancy within the process, steps that are no longer required, information that is already available to the WTCS, and information that is not available at the time of facility approval. In addition, the definitions of both minor remodeling and minor rentals have not been updated since the 1980's and the proposed modifications take into account inflation, more closely aligns rentals to other procurement standards, and allows the WTCS to focus on larger more complicated projects.
