More frequent updates, if any, are available on the department's website at https://datcp.wi.gov/Pages/Homepage.aspx. Subsection (1) applies to new regulated areas as those areas are identified in the CFR, regardless of whether affected persons receive update notices from the department. Persons may request update notices by visiting the department's website, or by writing to the following address:
