WSR 15-11-021 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-116—Filed May 11, 2015, 4:42 p.m., effective May 13, 2015] Effective Date of Rule: May 13, 2015.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500S.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 77.12.047.
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: Based on the most current harvest estimates and anticipated harvest through Tuesday, May 12, 2015, for the Lower Granite Dam area, the Snake [River] harvest allocation will have been met. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
