Purpose: Amends WAC 232-28-623 to revise the legal description of Mountain Goat Hunt Area 6-2 (Brothers) to reflect mountain goat distribution and management objectives.

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: Revises the defined boundaries for Mountain Goat Hunt Area 6-2 to reflect recent survey information on distribution of mountain goats. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
