PROPOSED RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 09-15-140.
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Amend WAC 220-20-010 General provisions -- Lawful and unlawful acts -- Salmon, other fish and shellfish, 220-69-230 Description of Washington state nontreaty fish receiving tickets, and 220-69-250 Required information on nontreaty fish receiving tickets.
Hearing Location(s): WDFW Region 6 Office, 48 Devonshire Road, Montesano, WA 98563, on November 30, 2009, at 1:30 p.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: December 11, 2009.
Submit Written Comments to: Corey Niles, Marine Resources Policy Coordinator, 48 Devonshire Road, Montesano, WA 98563, e-mail Corey.Niles@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 664-0689, by November 13, 2009.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Susan Yeager by November 13, 2009, TTY (360) 902-2207 or (360) 902-2267.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Federal groundfish and salmon regulations allow trollers to have incidental allowances of Pacific halibut and groundfish that are expressed as a ratio of individual groundfish or halibut possessed or landed to the number of chinook salmon retained. To enforce this incidental allowance, the department must therefore require that Pacific halibut and groundfish be reported in individual numbers on the troll fish receiving ticket. Current regulations only require halibut and groundfish to be reported in original total or original dressed weight. This rule proposal will help the department better track incidental allowances and thus enforce federal groundfish and salmon regulations.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The agency is mandated to conserve food fish resources, maintain the economic well-being and stability of the fishing industry in the state, and promote orderly fisheries. This proposal supports the agency's mandate.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047 and 77.04.020.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047 and 77.04.020.
Rule is necessary because of federal law, 50 C.F.R. § 660.370 (lingcod) and 50 C.F.R. § 300.63 (halibut).
Name of Proponent: The Washington department of fish and wildlife, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Corey Niles, 48 Devonshire Road, Montesano, WA 98563, (360) 249-4628; and Enforcement: Chief Bruce Bjork, 1111 Washington Street S.E., Olympia, WA 98504, (360) 902-2373.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rule changes will not result in additional costs to fishery participants.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. This proposal does not involve hydraulics.
