Original Notice.

Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 01-05-002.

Title of Rule: Commercial fishing rules.

Purpose: Amend rules for 2001 Puget Sound salmon net season.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047.

Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047.

Summary: Sets Puget Sound salmon net seasons.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: Provides opportunity to harvest surplus salmon while protecting broodstock.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Evan Jacoby, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2930; Implementation: Lew Atkins, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2325; and Enforcement: Bruce Bjork, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2927.

Name of Proponent: Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, governmental.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: WAC 220-47-311, 220-47-401 and 220-47-411 set purse seine, reef net and gill net seasons, respectively. These rules will be adopted at the recommendation of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, and provide for harvest of available salmon. WAC 220-47-428 closes the Quilcene Bay beach seine fishery for 2001 pending the submission of the report to the legislature on this emerging commercial fishery. WAC 220-47-304 is repealed as the mesh sizes and species fisheries are incorporated into WAC 220-47-411.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: New seasons settings.

A small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW.

Small Business Economic Impact Statement

WAC 220-47-311, 220-47-401, 220-47-411; Gill net, reef net and purse seine open periods


1. Description of the Reporting, Record-keeping, and Other Compliance Requirements of the Proposed Rule: Sets days, times and gear for commercial salmon fishing in Puget Sound waters.

2. Kinds of Professional Services That a Small Business is Likely to Need in Order to Comply with Such Requirements: None.

3. Costs of Compliance for Business, Including Costs of Equipment, Supplies, Labor and Increased Administrative Costs: Commercial fishers must have valid permits for the gear and area being used. Nets must comply with current state regulations.

4. Will Compliance with the Rule Cause Businesses to Lose Sales or Revenue? No, the rules open fishing opportunity that is otherwise closed.

5. Cost of Compliance for the 10% of Businesses That are the Largest Businesses Required to Comply with the Proposed Rules Using One or More of the Following as a Basis for Comparing Costs: None.

a. Cost per employee.

b. Cost per hour of labor.

c. Cost per one hundred dollars of sales.

6. Steps Taken by the Agency to Reduce the Costs of the Rule on Small Businesses or Reasonable Justification for Not Doing So: None taken, none needed.

7. A Description of How the Agency Will Involve Small Businesses in the Development of the Rule: The draft rules were developed after two public meetings (North of Falcon) and a final PFMC meeting. Meetings were announced through news releases and on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website. Key industry members are involved in commenting on, and proposing changes to, rules and seasons. Once drafted, the rules go through the standard public process set up for promulgating and revising Washington Administrative Codes.

8. A List of Industries That Will Be Required to Comply with the Rule: Puget Sound commercial salmon gill net, purse seine and reef net license holders.

WAC 220-47-428 Beach seine open periods


1. Description of the Reporting, Record-keeping, and Other Compliance Requirements of the Proposed Rule: Closes salmon beach seine fishing for 2001.

2. Kinds of Professional Services That a Small Business is Likely to Need in Order to Comply with Such Requirements: None.

3. Costs of Compliance for Business, Including Costs of Equipment, Supplies, Labor and Increased Administrative Costs: None.

4. Will Compliance with the Rule Cause Businesses to Lose Sales or Revenue? Yes, five permit holders will not be able to fish in Quilcene Bay for coho salmon as they have for the past five years.

5. Cost of Compliance for the 10% of Businesses That are the Largest Businesses Required to Comply with the Proposed Rules Using One or More of the Following as a Basis for Comparing Costs: None.

a. Cost per employee.

b. Cost per hour of labor.

c. Cost per one hundred dollars of sales.

6. Steps Taken by the Agency to Reduce the Costs of the Rule on Small Businesses or Reasonable Justification for Not Doing So: This rule change reflects a loss of opportunity to fish. The act of not fishing has no costs associated with it.

7. A Description of How the Agency Will Involve Small Businesses in the Development of the Rule: Rules allowing and defining emerging commercial fisheries are found in chapter 77.70 RCW. RCW 77.70.180 requires a report and recommendation to the legislature after a five-year period of operating the fishery. The 2000 season was the fifth year of the five year plan for assessing beach seines as a commercial salmon gear. The beach seine advisory committee and the Quilcene Bay experimental gear fishing permit holders were aware that the emerging commercial fishery had limitations.

8. A List of Industries That Will Be Required to Comply with the Rule: Holders of the Quilcene Bay experimental gear fishing permit.
