EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: May 21, 1999.
Purpose: Personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900L; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.040.
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: This regulation is necessary to provide protection of out-migrating juvenile anadromous salmonids. In providing protection we are reducing hooking mortality. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
