68A-9.004: Permits for Hunting or Other Recreational Use on Wildlife Management Areas
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Fort McCoy Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is privately owned. The landowner is removing the majority of the land, making it unsuitable for use as a WMA. The proposed rule change would remove reference to Ft. McCoy and allow the WMA to be dis-established.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule change would remove references to the Fort McCoy Wildlife Management Area.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. An SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
