The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 246-828-280 Documentation of referrals.

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: Department of Health, Hearing and Speech Program, P.O. Box 47869, Olympia, WA 98504-7869, Attention: Diane Young.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The language in the rule is outdated, unclear and unnecessary. The content of the rule is redundant of WAC 246-828-095 and 246-828-100 no longer appropriate.
