WSR 13-18-010 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 13-206—Filed August 22, 2013, 4:54 p.m., effective August 22, 2013, 4:54 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend commercial fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-24-04000X.
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: A closure of the troll fishery is necessary to negotiate how to proceed and meet the season objectives. These rules are adopted at the recommendation of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, in accordance with preseason fishing plans and the National Marine Fisheries Service from an in-season call. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
