Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 232-28-353, this makes prior emergency rule changes permanent. The purpose of this change is to close public hunts for 2008 on the Yakima Training Center. The anticipated effect is slightly less recreational deer hunting opportunity in Region 3. No anticipated changes to deer management objectives.

WAC 232-28-354, this makes prior emergency rule changes permanent. The purpose of this change is to close public hunts for 2008 on the Yakima Training Center. The anticipated effect is slightly less recreational elk hunting opportunity in Region 3. No anticipated changes to elk management objectives.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: WAC 232-28-353 and 232-28-354, the United States Army's training schedule on the Yakima Training Center has changed and will not allow public access. As a result, the department will not be able to conduct any public hunts on their facility for this year's hunting season.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047, 77.12.020, 77.12.570, 77.12.210.
