DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-130, Rules and Regulations Governing Laboratory Fees for Services Rendered or Performed, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing its report of findings dated October 18, 2016, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

There is a continuing need for this regulation in order to support the operation of the Animal Health Laboratory System. There have been no complaints from the public concerning the regulation. The regulation is necessarily uncomplicated. There is no overlap with federal or state law or regulations. Technology, economic conditions, and other factors have not impacted the need for this regulation but, in fact, make the existence of this regulation even more necessary as economic conditions have resulted in the Animal Health Laboratory System being more dependent on fee revenue to provide the current technology needed to offer services to clients. The primary effect on small business is a beneficial one as veterinary practices, agricultural businesses, and livestock and animal owners in the Commonwealth are able to obtain laboratory services nearby and at an affordable price. Therefore, the agency has determined to retain the regulation in its current form.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services conducted a small business impact review of 2VAC5-205, Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Shooting Enclosures, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) is publishing its report of findings dated October 18, 2016, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

There is a continued need for this regulation because there is still one shooting enclosure currently operating in the Commonwealth. There have been no complaints from the public concerning this regulation. This regulation is detailed but is clearly written and easily understandable. This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or other regulation but expands upon § 3.2-6039 of the Code of Virginia. There have been no technologic, economic, or other factors that have changed in the area affected by the regulation since the last review period. This regulation necessarily impacts small business, as the operators of shooting enclosures are for-profit private businesses. However, the impact is appropriate and necessary in order to protect public health, welfare, and safety. The collection of a small annual fee from shooting enclosure operators is necessary in order to offset any cost to VDACS for administering the provisions of the regulation. Therefore, the agency has determined to retain the regulation in its current form.
