EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: July 27, 2001.
Purpose: Personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-62100D; and amending WAC 232-28-621.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 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: State and Tulalip tribal managers have been unable to complete a management plan for salmon fisheries occurring within Tulalip Bay in time to open this area for sport salmon fisheries on August 1, as adopted under permanent rule and as documented in WDFW's sport fishing rules pamphlet. Additional discussions are planned to resolve outstanding issues between the managers in a timely manner. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
