Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 98-06-065.

Title of Rule: Definitions; General provisions--Lawful and unlawful acts--Salmon, other food fish and shellfish; lawful and unlawful acts--Salmon; General provisions--Lawful and unlawful acts--Food fish other than salmon; and General provisions--Shellfish.

Purpose: To create definitions for Sund Rock Marine Preserve Area and the Bonilla-Tatoosh Line and reference the closure of the conservation areas and marine preserve areas in the appropriate chapters.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 75.08.080.

Statute Being Implemented: RCW 75.08.080.

Summary: Defines Sund Rock Marine Preserve and the Bonilla-Tatoosh Line and references them to the appropriate chapters to ensure compliance of boundaries descriptions to meet conservation and management objectives.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: Proposals will promote resource conservation, promote a nonconsumptive use of the resource as desired by the public and provide for a common recreational and commercial fishing boundary at the western end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Morris Barker, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2826; Implementation: Bruce Crawford, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2325; and Enforcement: Ron Swatfigure, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2927.

Name of Proponent: Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, governmental.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The Sund Rock Marine Preserve Area regulation was adopted through a public hearing process but not incorporated into the commercial regulation chapters except by emergency action. This inclusion by definition (WAC 220-16-480) will correct that oversight and make whole the public expectations for recreational and commercial fishery intent for this area. The results will be an area for nonconsumptive use for those that utilize the area for the watching of aquatic life and will further promote the local preservation and restoration of aquatic species.

The definition for the Bonilla-Tatoosh Line (WAC 220-16-490) was previously adopted into the recreational chapter and was not captured in the appropriate commercial chapters. This inclusion by definition will correct that oversight and provide a common area boundary for both commercial and recreational fisheries. Various references to these closures are included under general provisions in WAC 220-20-010, 220-20-015, 220-20-020, and 220-20-025.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: See Small Business Economic Impact Statement below.

A small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW.

Small Business Economic Impact Statement

Definitions: WAC 220-16-480 and 220-16-490.

General Provisions: WAC 220-20-010, 220-20-015, 220-20-020, and 220-20-025.

1. Description of Reporting, Recordkeeping and Other Compliance Requirements by the Proposed Rule: There are no reporting or recordkeeping requirements with these proposals. The only requirement is to observe boundary designations and their intent.

2. Kinds of Professional Services that A Small Business is Likely to Need in Order to Comply with Such Requirements: None.

3. Costs of Compliance, Including Cost of Equipment, Supplies, Labor, and Increased Administrative Costs: None, all fishing areas have boundaries and these new definitions will not add any additional fiscal burden.

4. Will Compliance with the Rule Cost Businesses to Lose Sales or Revenue? Fishing area restrictions created by the new boundaries will have minimum impacts to business as fishing businesses do not currently operate in the area impacted.

5. Cost of Compliance for the Ten Percent of Businesses that are the Largest Businesses Required to Comply with the Proposed Rules Using One or More of the Following as a Basis for Comparing Costs: a. Cost per employee; b. Cost per hour of labor; or c. Cost per one hundred dollars of sales. As no business is affected there is no comparison to be made.

6. Steps Taken by Agency to Reduce the Costs of the Rule on Small Businesses or Reasonable Justification for Not Doing so: None, there are no costs to small businesses.

7. A Description of How the Agency will Involve Small Businesses in the Development of the Rule: The department held a public workshop with target user groups on Saturday, March 21, 1998.

8. A List of Industries Required to Comply with the Rule: The Puget Sound salmon net fishers, trawlers and fishers using set line gear and, drag seine gear, and pot gear, as well as commercial dive fishers for sea urchins, sea cucumbers and geoducks.
