EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: August 11, 2006, 12:01 a.m.
Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-62000G; and amending WAC 232-28-620.
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: More recreational fishing opportunity can be provided in Marine Areas 1 through 4 while staying within quotas for Chinook and Coho. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
