Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule will not affect small businesses. The s.
227.114 (12)
, Stats., definition of "small business" states that to be considered a small business, the business must not be dominant in its field. Since electric utilities are monopolies in their service territories, they are dominant in their fields and, so, are not small businesses.

Workforce Development
Unemployment Insurance, Chs. 100—150
An order of the Department of Workforce Development to revise Chapters
DWD 126
,
127
, and
129
, relating to unemployment insurance work registration, work search, and benefit claiming procedures.
Effective 5-1-14, except the treatments of DWD 126.03 and 127.02 will take effect when the Secretary determines the department has the technological ability to implement the changes.
Effect on Small Business (Summary)
This rule does not place any new requirements on small business but is expected to benefit all employers, including small businesses. First, the amendments are projected to result in more unemployment insurance claimants finding employment faster. As a result, unemployed individuals will be collecting unemployment insurance benefits for a shorter duration and there will be fewer charges to employers' unemployment insurance accounts. This will help reduce employers' unemployment insurance tax. Second, more unemployed individuals will be required to seek employment and DWD will be better able to assist unemployed individuals find appropriate jobs. Consequently, when hiring employees businesses will likely experience an increase in qualified applicants.
