Stats., and ch. ATCP 1, Wis. Adm. Code. 3. Statutory authority for the rule (including the statutory citation and language): Sections 93.07(1) and 93.18, Stats., and subch. III of ch. 227, Stats. 4.

DATCP will use existing staff to develop this rule.
5. Description of all entities that may be impacted by the rule:
Any person or entity subject to a special order, issued by a division, will have the opportunity to request a hearing on appeal, which will be considered by the Secretary or his designee, and, if granted, will have the opportunity that the Secretary may be the final decisionmaker.
6. Summary and preliminary comparison of any existing or proposed federal regulation that is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the rule:
