    (DNR # FH-19-12)

    Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
    The proposed rule will have minimal to no impact on businesses and members of the public. As with any change in regulations, there will be a requirement for anglers to learn the new rules. However, a majority of this rule change clarified code to reflect existing policies with which anglers must already comply. The Fisheries Management Bureau works to notify the public of new regulations vie press releases, the internet and fishing regulation pamphlets.
    The Department has determined that this rule would not adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, jobs, or the overall competitiveness of this state. It is not expected that there will be any economic impact directly related to these rule changes on anglers or fishing related businesses. The proposed rule does not impose any compliance or reporting requirements on small businesses nor are any design or operational standards contained in the rule. No fiscal impacts are expected for public utility rate payers or local governmental units.
    The goal is to ensure the rule language that governs fishing inland, outlying and boundary waters.
    The determination was made after the Department requested economic impact comments from Wisconsin Conservation Congress, WI Wildlife Federation, Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission, WI Association of Lakes, WI Bow Hunters Association, WI Archery Alliance, WI Traditional Archers, WI Federation of Great Lakes Sport Fishing Clubs, WI Council of Sport Fishing Organizations, Federation of Fly Fishers — Wisconsin Council, Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin, Inc., Salmon Unlimited — WI Council, Walleyes for Tomorrow, WI Bass Federation, Izaak Walton League — Wisconsin Division, Lake Michigan Fisheries Forum, Wisconsin Aquaculture Association, American Fisheries Society — Wisconsin Chapter, Natural Resources Foundation of WI, Gathering Waters, River Alliance of Wisconsin, UW Sea Grant, League of WI Municipalities, WI Towns Association, WI Counties Association, Northeast WI Great Lakes Sport Fisherman, and Great Lakes Sport Fisherman of Milwaukee. Proposed rule documents were also posted on the Department website and the Wisconsin Administrative Rules website.
