Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances; and other rules of the agency or of another agency govern the same activity as the rule, making the rule redundant.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: David K. Peach, State Traffic Engineer, Washington State Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 47433, Olympia, WA 98504-7340.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: Traffic regulations are exempt from the rule-making process. WAC 468-30-030 can be repealed. As an alternative to rules, the regional administrators have been delegated the authority to prohibit fishing from bridges.
