[Order 98-85--Filed May 12, 1998, 4:55 p.m., effective May 12, 1998, 11:59 p.m.]
Date of Adoption: May 12, 1998.
Purpose: Personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-24-02000E; and amending WAC 220-24-020.
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 harvestable quota of chinook salmon is projected to have been taken by the troll fishermen. This regulation is adopted at the recommendation of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council and is consistent with federal law. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
