EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: January 2, 2002.
Purpose: Amend personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-56-235.
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: This regulation mirrors the regulation recently enacted by the federal government for these waters. This proposal is being considered by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission for adoption as a permanent rule during the commission's February 2002 meeting. This emergency rule is required to conserve the canary and yelloweye until the commission's permanent rules become effective.
