EXPEDITED REPEAL
The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 16-401-020, 16-401-025, 16-401-030, and 16-401-040.
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: Mary A. Martin Toohey, Assistant Director, Washington State Department of Agriculture, Laboratory Services Division, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The rules listed above for expedited repeal set forth a fee schedule that was only effective for one day (June 30, 1999). That fee schedule is no longer in effect, because these rules were superceded on July 1, 1999. In addition, none of the fees established by these rules were ever charged. These rules are not needed, as other sections of rule have an effective date of July 1, 1999, and establish the current fee schedule.
September 1, 1999
