DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 05-205 -- Filed September 8, 2005, 4:46 p.m. , effective September 8, 2005 ]


     

     Purpose: Amend commercial fishing rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-52-07100U; and amending WAC 220-52-071.

     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.
