FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 98-88--Filed May 29, 1998, 4:58 p.m., effective June 1, 1998, 12:01 a.m.]
Date of Adoption: May 28, 1998.
Purpose: Personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-57-31500E; and amending WAC 220-57-315.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 75.08.080.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: The rule matches daily and season limits with other tributary fisheries in the area between Bonneville and The Dalles Dam. This rule is consistent with state/tribal negotiations that have occurred with the Yakama Indian Nation. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
