Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 11-15-028.

Hearing Location(s): Yakima City Hall, Council Chambers, 129 North Second Street, Yakima, WA 98901, on November 1, 2011, at 1:00 p.m.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The Washington state noxious weed list provides the basis for noxious weed control efforts for county and district weed control boards and other entities. It also provides guidelines for the state noxious weed control board. This proposal amends chapter 16-750 WAC by:
| • | Adding oriental clematis, Clematis orientalis, as a Class A noxious weed. |
| • | Adding tree-of-heaven, Ailanthus altissima, as a Class C noxious weed. |
| • | Adding Japanese eelgrass, Zostera japonica, as a Class C noxious weed (on commercially managed shellfish beds only). |
| • | Changing the designation of hairy willow-herb. Epilobium hirsutum, on the Class B list. |
| • | Changing the designation of hoary alyssum, Berteroa incana, on the Class B list. |
| • | Correcting the scientific name of Bohemian knotweed, Polygonum x bohemicum. |
| • | Adding new section on listing guidelines. |
| • | Changing committee terms of office and officer election dates. |
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 17.10 RCW.
Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 17.10 RCW.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state noxious weed control board, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Alison Halpern, 1111 Washington Street S.E., Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2053.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. RCW 19.85.030 (1)(a) requires that an agency prepare a small business economic impact statement for proposed rules that impose more than a minor cost on businesses in an industry. An analysis of the direct economic effects of the proposed eight rule amendments indicates that costs to small businesses would be negligible or none at all. To summarize the analysis, none of the proposals seek to prohibit sales of these species, and no small businesses will be impacted from the two changes in Class B designations. Results of a survey indicate that the two proposed species that had once been used as ornamental plants are not carried in the horticultural trade. The state weed board does not require control of Class C noxious weeds; moreover, results of a survey indicate that several commercial shellfish growers see indirect benefits to the listing of Japanese eelgrass. A copy of the analysis can be obtained by contacting Alison Halpern, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state noxious [weed] control board is not one of the agencies listed in this section.
