WSR 13-22-050 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 13-279—Filed November 1, 2013, 10:29 a.m., effective November 1, 2013, 10:29 a.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend commercial fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-95-100 and 220-95-110.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 77.12.047.
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 permanent rules state that industry input must be sought before setting the maximum bid price. The recommendation of no maximum bids is supported by the department and the majority of license holders in both fisheries. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
