     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 308-390-306.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 62A.9A-526.

     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: The legislation does not authorize a lapse date of thirty years from the date of the initial financing statement, so that language in WAC 308-390-306 is being removed.
